Lightbulb New Feature: Ask the FOFC Wives!

Given the humorous tidbits we've had in the past (remember that one live exchange with someone's drunk wife?), I thought it might be entertaining if we came up with a question or a few, then we all submitted them to our wives/girlfriends/partners/pets, and then all reported back here.

Possible first questions:

(1) Define "text sim."

(2) Describe your husband/partner's behavior when he is computer gaming.

(3) Are you hot?

(4) Have you heard of the collosal squid?

1. "I have no idea, those damn computer games."

2. "Fucked up, zoned out."

3. "No."

4. "collosal squid, what the frail is that?"

Quotations from Mrs. Vtbub.

(2) "Idiotic and annoying"

(4) "No"

I think she was about to slap me...all I heard as she walked away was "Waste my time..."

fixated!

(3) Are you hot?
Sassy more like it!

(4) Have you heard of the collosal squid?

Yes, a certain man told me about it

Re: Re: New Feature: Ask the FOFC Wives!

My wife's answers, via email:

(1) Define "text sim." - Like imaginary numbers...simulated text.

(2) Describe your husband/partner's behavior when he is computer gaming. - Totally engulfed.

(3) Are you hot? - Only when my pants are on fire! [HA! Classic modesty from a decidedly hot blonde...]

(4) Have you heard of the colossal squid? - My hubby's got one in his pants!
[HA! Classic truth from a decidedly hot blonde...]

She was confused. It's actually HARRRRRRRR that she keep hearing, not WOO.

I'll ask my wife when she gets home tonight but my guesses are:

1) No
2) Why
3) Stop Bothering Me
4) I can only think of one thing that's collosal... (that one may be a figment of my imagination)

2. Use the word "asshat" in a sentence.

3. What would your reaction be if your husband/partner enthusiastically exclaimed "I just got a wigfecta!"

4. Pronounce the word "Solecismic."

5. Name five football terms.

She Who Must Be Obeyed, being an English major, saw fit to write a bit more than most...

Quote:
1. "Text sim" I am guessing this refers to a text based simulation game, meaning the game simulates some reality (ie, managing a football team) but there is no animation/pictures--it is all words, numbers, charts, etc. Is that right?

2. How does Ben behave while gaming? It depends on what game he is playing, however the variations are very subtle. In general, he looks like he is in a coma and can sit for hours staring at the computer screen without any "behavior". You are glad to hear him typing and using the mouse so you can know that he is actually able to move. (Apparently one's ability to hear greatly decreases as well.) The variation in this "behavior" or lack thereof occurs when he is playing an on-line game that is real time and he is much more intense about it. At these times, the coma has more of the look of a cat staring down its prey before it pounces.

3. Am I hot? Actually, I am quite comfortable right now. ;-) Chilly rain outside but a warm cup of coffee and a comfortable office inside.

4. The collosal squid? Isn't that the creature that attacked Captain Nemo's sub in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? No? Hmmmm, couldn't tell you.

5. FOFC--Front Office Football Central? Do I get a prize if I am right?

Actually she knows the names for most/all of the games I play (including Front Office Football), and why I like them. Although she gets annoyed at times (I have learned to NEVER NEVER NEVER be playing an online multiplayer game when she gets home from work. Not speaking to her when she walks in the door is a problem for some reason.... ), she considers gaming to be one of my "hobbies" and therefore takes an active interest in it. We had a 15-20 minute conversation last night about RoN.

Wow, If Only I could get my gf interested in my gaming. We have only found one game we both enjoyed playing, and that was roller coaster tycoon. She hates it when I play video games when she is around. Of course she isnt much better when she goes and get on the computer for 3-4 hours. Of course the woman is always right

Well my wife's answers were uneventful. But now, when I asked, "Are you hot?," she said, "you once thought so." Which instantly reminded me of this classic exchange in Sam Raimi's "Army of Darkness":

Evil Sheila: You found me beautiful once...
Ash: Honey, you got reeeal ugly!
