Filling My Brain with Shit
- December 20th, 2007 1:46 am
My husband is an avid sports fan. He is always watching some sort of ball game or questioning me about random sports facts that I would never actually know. Some how the victory of teaching me the fact is worth the snear he gets after asking the question. And well, I’ve known of this sports addiction from day one. It wasn’t like one day he just developed a sports fetish in order to irritate me. I knew it existed when I got into this. 
(His teams include,but are not limited to, the University of Kentucky for football/basketball, the Cincinnati Reds, and the Bengals.)
Anyhow, sometimes I think about the fact that I only have so much space in my memory, and my memory tends to pick up facts like a hoarder does useless trinkets. It always seems to grasp onto the most useless of things like the name of the person who checks me out at the grocery store, or the useless sports fact my husband often mentions. While I love this man, body hair and all, I do not love knowing the names/teams/numbers/stat/baby mamas etc. of various athletes. But he tells them, and my brain picks them up.
(And if you think he doesn’t belong to a message board where he consistently chats this bullshit up, you are dead wrong.)
I should list the facts out right now, all bajillion of them. But then I’d be tossing them your way and infiltrating your brain space. That wouldn’t be very polite;particularly when I just spent a while fitting about it.
To close, I will leave you with this question via photo that I found here. Honestly, which one would you pick?

Is it wrong of me to be thankful that I’m not the only wife stuck with this sport-trivia wielding maniac for a husband? Mine keeps stuffing hockey and football trivia down my throat as though it’s necessary for my imminent survival. Sheesh.
And I’d have to say the ear hair dude trumps the snotty man. Cuz you can trim ear hair, but you’ll always have to listen to him honk out the ole loogies. Gross.

….and this is when I’m glad to be married to the geekiest man alive, who cannot even relay which ball belongs to what sport.
And as for the post it note….I’d go with the ear hair. You can cut, braid or use electrolysis…besides, endless snot would be like dating a 2-yr old

my hubby likes sports, but he doesn’t really talk about them much. probably because he knows i’m not a bit interested, unless it has to do with U of K.
as for the post it note, i have to go with the rest of them. i’d choose the ear hair. you can always get rid of it. plus, you can’t kiss someone whose nose is constantly running, that’s just gross, man.

Ok, if you had to pick a man who asks sports trivia or math trivia questions, which would you choose? I swear, I thought I was lucky in picking a guy who wasn’t all that interested in football but instead he pops quizzes on me constantly…which I fail since I honestly didn’t expect to have to use trigonometry (geesh I don’t even know if that’s how you SPELL it) at the breakfast table! Who knew?? LOL
As for the nose or ear issue, my answer is “no.” Haha. Some things you just do not need to import into your life. I mean, if he has ear hair then he has nose hair too. And a runny nose means snoring. Do not ask me how I know this.
Anyhoo, thanks for reviewing my blog!

I posted a comment and it flashed up once and then vanished, so this may be a duplicate posting. Wanted to thank you for reviewing my site!
As to the nose ear issue, I’d have to say “no.” haha Because if he has ear hair then he probably has nose hair, too, and a runny nose means snoring. And you can trim hair once and offer Sudafed a few times, no prob, but if he’s not that into grooming after awhile you begin to feel like the guy’s mommy. Do not ask me how I know these facts. LOL
Love your blog. Happy Holidays!

I think I’d choose the runny nose. Kleenex are a cheap and easy fix for this, but I gotta think heading toward a guy’s ears with a pair of scissors isn’t something he’d hang around for. And having the police show up on your doorstep to arrest you for assault and attempted ear theft…..not a fun ending to any date.
