Which knife?

I lusted quite heartily over their blue steel chisels for a long long time - back when they published a paper catalog.

Don't you dare tell her. She's a baby though. Her whole family is. I beat her like once and she quit playing forever. I schooled her mom at chess and now they don't even use their standing chess table. I think her dad threw out the Wii when I beat him at Tennis.

What's it like, being in a meaningful relationship?

what, with your knife? Kwilk might have some insight on that.

Thomas wins the race to the joke.

I'm trying to think of something snarky to say, but with my wife it is pretty awesome 99% of the time.

my wife and i used to play scrabble when we were dating. then one time i got a big triple-word score on my last play to beat her and she picked up the board and threw it at me. figured it was better to focus on other games after that.

Well, now I feel like I'm missing out on something; I always knew I might have been. But if you say its so, then it must be true.

my girlfriend is also a fan of matt's wife.

Yes, yes. She is everything that I am not. I already have had my family make that quite clear. They have claimed her in any possible divorce proceedings.

For a balling man such as yourself, impolyte, I suggest them.

I will look at those. (0) I need to get balling **** because my womanfriend is probably gonna get a new job being a model/lifestylist for a women's magazine starting this winter - they are coming to our house to photograph and TV our 'life' all the time and so we need to look really ******* cool. Gonna get a Thermomix as well and put that in our features, and make all the Japanese housewives across the country go crazy for one-touch splooge.

thanks for posting that, it was very enjoyable.

Funny you mention that. I joke that I chose my spouse well when I went from being the main attraction to the warm-up act in my family, which is probably how it ought to be. Even my flinty old grandmother - who had zero tolerance for chit-chat, especially on the telephone - would sit down and talk to Mrs. Thomas for hours, even on the phone. With everyone else, even her own son - 1 minute, tops.
