My wife is pregnant, and could pop that baby out at any time. We begged her doctor to go ahead and enduce labor at her appointment this morning, and no go. So now, i have to sit around worrying if this little girl is going to come on Saturday night. I for sure cannot go to the game, but if she holds off at least I will get to watch on TV. My priorities are so screwed up, but hey, that is the price you pay for being a diehard.
Good luck looks like you might have to chose one or the other. And like your name says, which one will be the "ch0sn0ne
Your dilema No problem dude. Women have ben having babies for centuries and your presence isn't needed. That child will be around for forever so there's no hurry in meeting her for the first time. Hell I had such a hard time getting mine out of the house, I moved to another state one weekend when they were gone partying. The game, dude, the game. Tongue planted frimly in cheek. Congrats on the little sweetie
My wife is also expecting..... She's had bad dreams about me going to a football game and leaving her alone and I have to assure her that would never happen (she's not due until May). It'll be the first so I'll have to study up on baby stuff like what kind of stuffed animal tiger he/she will like, the best purple and gold outfits, etc. I'm not giving it any type of chance to bleed anything other than Purple & Gold like my dad did to me. Oh well, life's tough.
I have this referee doll... that all the limbs, and head, are held on by velcro. It's identical to the one on Joe Pa's front door. Each limb can be torn off, one at a time, or - if the occasion demands, a hard enough throw against the wall will remove more than one at a time. You guys down there who are familiar with Santoria, I'm sure could come up with even more inventive uses. This, of course, is just an addendum to the usual school dolls. But, given the officiating these days, you can't start too young!!
Your situation reminded me of the 1995 Independence Bowl. The 4th Quarter had just begun and we were putting Saban and his Spartans away when a message came over the Stadium P.A.... "WOULD MISTER JOHN DOE PLEASE REPORT TO THE BOSSIER MEDICAL CENTER !! YOUR WIFE IS HAVING THE BABY !!!! It was then that about 50,000 plus hooted, cackled, and guffawed for the next half minute or so while some poor guy who wanted only to see his Tigahs slinked out of his seat in Independence Stadium (I assume) and hustled across the river to find his wife, his mother in law, and his newborn child waiting for him. NOW THAT'S A FAN !!!!!!!
HSV - I remember Jim Mora having one of those... velcro ref dolls while coaching the Saints. During one of his Monday morning press conferences, he showed it to the press, saying it was a gift from a family member. Then, he showd how it worked, ripping the head and arms off, throwing them to the floor while the press laughed. Mora was smiling and giggling and you could tell that it wasn't malicious and that he was just having fun with it. Naturally, the NFL fined him anyway...
