Marital dispute-please help

[underpants]

My wife says "grow up" and that it "isn't cool" to, as I put it, "hang out and slam some beers" before we go to this concert that we have tickets to at the Richmond Coliseum. I say it will be like back in the old days when all the concerts were at the big coliseum type arenas (her in Roanoke and me in Hampton).
















She is 42. I am 40. The Wiggles go on at 3 PM.

Dispute #2

I say that the diaper bag is a great way to smuggle in some 151 (man that could have really been handy back in the day) she says "NO!" but as yet has not specified any plans for her pint.

So who is right?

[mikeytherat]

1. If I had to sit through The Wiggles at the Coliseum, I'd want the 151,

a twelve-pack, and maybe some Everclear. I say, "Smuggle away, matey."

Baby bottles can hide a lot, too. Scotch and apple juice look remarkably similar through translucent plastic. Or, so I have heard.

3. well, if you're bringing Josie

then she's right. You can't be slamming beers while driving a baby around.

[underpants]

5. I just realized

the Coliseum has no AC

:scared:

[supernova]

11. And ice will be $6/cup

:D

[Connonym]

2. Now if it was Raffi....

I'd say smoke some weed and bring extra snacks but for the Wiggles? I dunno, that's a whole different ballpark.

Bananaphone!!

4. Beers Shmeers! You should be dropping some good acid for this show ...

I heard these raves are like what the Filmore used to be.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

6. I gotta go with Meeg on this one.

Acid is the only way to make the Wiggles entertaining.

But you are right on both counts. You should be blasted, if at all possible.

[Hugin]

12. Me three... But, avoid the brown acid, man. n/t

[underpants]

19. Roger

got it

blasted

[soleft]

7. I don't know what 151 is. Is that bad?

I feel unprepared to respond. But I realized reading this post that i miss those underpants with the eyeballs that used to float across at the bottom of your posts.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

8. 151 proof rum. Which is 75.5% alcohol by volume.

[soleft]

17. That would make an excellent mojito!

[underpants]

22. Oh my wife LOVES some Mojitos!!!

[soleft]

29. Thank you!

LOL!

[commander bunnypants]

9. the wiggles

they scare me. I hope something else comes along when baby bunnypants gets to that age.

10. You should drink; she should drive

That way, you're both happy. Er, the three of you are happy.

[LostinVA]

13. Hell, you can fit a whole case of pony beers into a diaper bag!

And, all you have to do to stop the Coliseum Alcohol Narcs is to leave a stinky diaper on top of the beer.

Don't forget a lighter: "The Wiggles" concerts are always full of 'em.

[BlackVelvet04]

14. I have many fond memories of concerts

at the Roanoke Coliseum. Well, what parts I do remember. It was the 70's.

I don't drink beer so I don't think beer is ever appropriate....there is much more fun things to do.

[jobycom]

15. Seems like any time the words "hang out" occur in a sentence

you are on the losing end of the "grow up" argument.

[underpants]

18. :-)

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. For a Wiggles concert, I'd eschew alcohol and bring in Ipecac. Drink it right before the show.

Tell your honey you "gottagorightnowbye!"

[havocmom]

20. Asking Lounge for marital help? DUUUUDE

you are SO asking for trouble!

...in the doghouse

[jobycom]

21. Hey, it adds spice to a marriage

Assuming hemlock is a spice.

[havocmom]

24. LOL

what doesn't kill him makes him stronger?

[jobycom]

25. And what does kill him provides him some relief

in some marriages, you know. :rofl:

[MrScorpio]

23. Thanks for the warning

Good thing that I don't plan on being anywhere the Coliseum today.

[Redbear]

26. Fruit salad, yummy yummy Fruit salad, yummy yummy

Well if they still had the old Greg I could answer, but with this new guy ...

[underpants]

32. The day we bought the tickets Josie started watching Curious George

We still have three tickets that I can't get rid of

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

28. The Wiggles need the Richmond Coliseum?!

Crikey! I'd have thought the Mosque (excuse me - the "Landmark") at most.

If you don't want to smuggle the glass bottle in - remember the absorbent polymer used in one disposable diaper will probably hold an entire fifth of 151. Just tear one open and break out the spoons :D

The Wiggles: :headbang: (NOT!)

[underpants]

30. They put the stage in the middle of the floor

See below.

This way there really aren't any bad seats. We saw an Elmo show at the JohnPaulJones arena and they did the same thing. Pretty easy getting in and out too.

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

31. "there really aren't any bad seats"

You're WAY too into this :P

I'd go for section 309 and a beer bong

[underpants]

33. LOL

:rofl:

[petronius]

34. You're both wrong - hire a baby sitter to take the child to see The Wiggles

(I assume there's a child involved), and stay home together to 'slam some beers,' knock back some 151, and do whatever else comes to mind...

[Critters2]

39. I concur

Surely there's someone you can pay to go to The Wiggles. Et Voila! Problem solved.

[JVS]

40. But that's no longer babysitting, it's baby escorting and can cost a mint

Last time I sent a kid out with an escort, it set me back $300

[petronius]

42. But wouldn't a free Wiggles concert count as compensation?

;)

Wow - I had no idea there was a recognized category of baby escorting. Guess I'd better put the kid thing off for another couple of years...

[JVS]

46. "I had no idea there was a recognized category of baby escorting."

there isn't. I just ask the nice lady from the escort service to take the baby out for the nigt and he better not reek of booze and cheap perfume when she drops him off again. ;-)

[RubyDuby in GA]

35. I have a 14 month old and I'm familiar with the Wiggles

DRINK AS MUCH AS YOU CAN BEFORE YOU EVEN LEAVE YOUR HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEN MAKE SURE YOU DRINK AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ON THE WAY THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEN DRINK AS MUCH AS YOU CAN UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO STEP FOOT ON THE PREMISES OF THE RICHMOND COLISEUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's a fair compromise.

[Xithras]

36. LOL! I took my kids to a Doodlebops concert.

Second row center. One of the more disturbing experiences of my life. I don't care what you have to do, but TAKE THE 151!

[JVS]

37. Hint that if she doesn't want to cooperate this time, maybe she won't be invited next time

[Zavulon]

38. No matter how much I loved my kid, I would not sit through that shit - with or without alcohol.

With all due respect to your wife, if you're going to endure that ordeal she has no right to hassle you over a few drinks.

[AngryAmish]

41. I would have to be blind drunk

That is how my dad got through most of my childhood activities and I'm sure it would help.

[El Fuego]

43. I think shots are in order, and your wife should have to drive since she's the grown up.

[SarahB]

44. The Wiggles always seemed more hemp friendly to me than anything else.

:smoke:

[Rambis]

45. I would wait to dose until you are in the lot

that way it won't be coming on while you are driving trust me;)
