Fightin’ Dirty
They say there’s more than one way to skin a cat. I say, in marriage, there’s more than one way to win an argument. My current favored tactic is to say something so insane that there is no logical, rational response. Voila! The argument is over!
To wit:
GTB found out last night that the Dharma Bums will be playing a reunion show at the Crystal Ballroom in February. This morning, after finding out Stu will be flying in from Philly to attend the show with him, GTB informed me that he purchased two tickets, assuming I will go to the show as well.
“So you want me to go see two bands I don’t particularly love at a venue I absolutely hate?” I asked.
“Yes, I want you to come with me to see the band that was the biggest influence of my adolescence.”
“You don’t see me dragging you to MC Hammer shows.”
Crickets.
Works every time.

ONE of my biggest influences. Not THE biggest influence. I may have been an obsessive fan, but there are limits to my fandom.
