What does your significant other think of Clutchcity.net?

Sim league? Good for you man. Just consider yourself lucky that your girlfriend even has an interest in sports.

 

sim legue is betta than p*rn???? you woman aint seen good p*rn mebbe.

 

It's funny how women change, when I met sweetie it was me and her making eye contact at a Rocket playoff game with her wearing Rockets shirts and all...Now it's like...Hunny look at the news, Hakeem is gone!..."About time...let me go back to sleep!"
or ...."Get off the damn internet and come to bed!"

Man, why do the women change like this?

 

My wife constantly says things like "I didn't marry clutchcity.net", etc. She thinks I'm a dork for hanging out here so much.

Our biggest 'fights' occur when she and I are in the midst of talking and I try to squeeze reading a post in at the same time. The same question: "are you listening to me" (usually w/ a nice descriptor such as 'dork', '*******', 'schmuck', man I love this woman). I then get quizzed on what we were talking about. Sometimes I pull it off, others... (this makes me sound inherently evil, but trust me when I say that my wife and I talk all of the time, I have to be able to grunt from time to time and not really pay attention).

 

Achebe, man! You better stop talking about me and my wife like that!



Its exactly the same in our house.

In fact, I got this comment the other day!

"You are starting to spend more time on that stupid board than you do with your friends!"

 

My wife is pretty tolerant. But , yes, she thinks I'm a dork for visiting the site so much. I do get the occasional, "Are you coming to bed?" Sometimes she lets me ramble about things, like the Rockets managing to get the guy who could have gone number one in the draft this year. I didn't say anything to her about the Hakeem situation, however, the alarm clock did that. The sports news just happened to be on and I got to wake up that morning with a reminder that Olajuwon was leaving. I said, "Did you hear that? Hakeem is leaving the Rockets." She said, "Hmmm" and went back to sleep after hitting the snooze button.

 

In the immortal words of Chris Rock: "Men want 3 things from a woman: Feed me, fu*k me, shut the fu*k up!"

 

My wife just hates all the time I spend on the comp regardless if it's cc.net or any other place....

She loathes basketball season and game nights, cause where am i? In cc.net chat!! Enjoying the game with a bunch of die-hard Rocket fans!

I tell her, "Hey, at least you know EXACTLY where I'm at!" I'm in my computer room, not out at some Gold Club getting hummers in a dark room! I mean she should be grateful I'm at home.

Her reply, "you don't spend enough time with me"
oh yeah? we're freakin' married, unless something happens, we'll be together for a long time! Trust me people, I spend time with her. I think she can be selfish sometimes.. I mean, hey, do I have to be surgically attached to her at all times? I don't think so.

argh...

LOL! I've been getting that lately as well. My reply has merely been "most of my friends are either republicans or republican mormons, I probably agree with some of the guys on this site more than I do with my 'friends'".

Her reply after that? "GO OUTSIDE YOU DUMBASS".

Geez, now I'm starting to feel guilty. I think I will give this 'outside' thing a chance for a while.

 

she just laughs at me, and says

"chat.chat.chat."

I'm lucky that she loooves to talk on the phone. chat.chat.chat. She chats and chats. But boy, do I get in trouble if I don't go give her a big kiss when she comes home.

I usually stand up now when she even comes into the computer room. Another fortunate thing is she used to do ballroom dance competitions and made me go to them. They last for 10-12 hrs in a hotel convention room. Guys, these things are swim meets, where you wait 2 hours for a 5 minute event, then wait another 2 hours. I am not kidding! A man cannot sit for that long without a beer. I've paid my dues.

Another fortunate thing is one of her best friends, another of her long line of ballroom dance partners, runs the clutchcity of Texas ballroom bbs's. He is the Clutch of ballroom dancing....lol. And yet another one is a champion amateur in Houston and is on the board of USABDA, and helps with the printed newsletter.

Boy are they dorky. You think we are bad. I mean, what's less dorky, describing 2-shakes and trade rumors or the box step and dancer gossip (like in the movie Strickly Ballroom). lol

Anyhow, I also have a huge Ace card. <b>Utility!!</b> heyschweetie has a 4 letter first name.....AND SHE OWNS THE DOMAIN for it. This is one schmart and opportunistic webmistress. She got it in early 1995. Anyhow, we kept bouncing from host to host since then, but now finally I get to make sure our mail doesn't crash.

So, I can always pull the Ace card, "But schweetie, didn't this bbs land us a cheap permanent host."

 

God, this is hilarious. rockHEAD, mc mark, Achebe - we all have similar experiences.

My wife doesn't care for sports. She calls this board "my imaginary friends" in jest!

She is VERY patient and VERY tolerant because I AM a dork when it comes to this board. I gotta give it to her for that because I probably wouldn't be as patient if she was as crazy about something like this board and the Rockets as I am.

 

depending on how you look at it im lucky that i only have my parents to bother me about it

 

Hmmm, no comment.

Seriously, though...yeah, my wife hates me. She does not understand that basketball is the only true sport in the world.

She also, for some reason, does not want to hear about basketball multiple times during the day.

Often, If I mention basketball or this site, her eyes glaze over and she goes to her "peaceful place" where me and my jibber jabber are not welcome.

She thinks that everyone on the board is a big freak and that I am guilty by association.

Sometimes, she likes to get dramatic and shout, "You are having an affair with the BBS!" and run into the bedroom and pull the covers up over her head.

It got worse since we have been in Atlanta because that is when I first used the chat stuff for games, drafts, and boredom. Sometimes, I would be chatting during a game and she would suddenly start shouting from the bedroom (where she is trying to sleep) about not having a husband anymore.

If she gets bored at work, she will come to the BBS, but that only confirms her thoughts about us all being a bunch of losers.

Oh well, we make it somehow. If I ever had to, I could give it up for her...I mean it. Really, I could. Easy. You don't believe me? Seriously...

 

Usually the first thing I do after having sex (after I wash up) is read the bbs. Then I go to sleep on my side of the bed. I've pissed off some chicks with cc.net in my day. I've been called a loser, dork, etc.

 

Man, these posts are funny!

 

wow... sex and then the BBS...
at least i'm getting one of those things!

rH

 

Just a thought...

We ought to start a forum on the BBS and call it ClutchCity Widows (my wife's title ) for the significant others of those of us addicted to the BBS. It could be a support group of sorts.

Then again, maybe not. I'm not sure I want my wife telling everyone else what a dork I am.

 

yea.. maybe not, just what I need the wife reading my BBS posts...
