Today was The Big Game. Mr. Taylor sat down to watch and enjoy. I sat through the first half then went to the bedroom. Sometime during the second half, I could hear Mr. Taylor using his condescending voice to reason with someone. I assumed it was one of the children.
Wrong!
He was reasoning to the T.V. using small, simple words and subtle arm movements.
I always find it amusing when, during a televised game, the Neanderthal fan/man jumps up and yells unintelligible words at the ref, players, or coach.
1) They can't hear him and
2) Even if they could, he is unintelligible.
Unless he is a social worker. Then he tries reasoning with the inanimate object.
When I pointed this out to Mr. Taylor he became very defensive.
"You don't know how guys act during a televised game! You've only seen me," he accused. I assured him I'd spent PLENTY of time in the company of guys and T.V.
"All the guys I watch games with do the same thing I do," he proclaimed.
"What guys?" I asked.
"Darren, Bryant, Timo, the other Darren."
"What do they do for a living?"
Long pause.
"They're psychologists and social workers."
I rest my case.

ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that stalkers are always welcome, just so long as they bring cookies.
My husband screams at the TV. There is no quite mumbling in my house.
ReplyDeleteOh it is absolutely the way all guys watch T.V. Some of them reason and talk to the set more than they do living, breathing human beings (like their wives!)
ReplyDeleteVery funny! Watched the game also, but with OU fans... Interesting.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I did the same thing, watched the first half and then went upstairs followed by echoes of my husband's interactions with a television set.
ReplyDeleteMen are funny.
The first time I ever yelled at the TV was last year when the Utes played Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. It was also the first time I ever sat through an entire TV aired game - I was bushed. Never again.
ReplyDeleteHey - how come you don't stalk me anymore?
Sniff Sniff.
