"You Can't Be Best Friends With Girls - They're Nuts!"

Now that I've offended the majority of those who read my blog, let me explain . . .

I was listening to a certain local sports radio station when the topic of whether or not you can be married to your best friend came up.

(Yeah, I realize that's not really a sports topic but it's pretty typical of this radio station to delve off into non-sportsy discussions when there's a sports lull.)

Anyway, the logic here was that no guy can be best friends with his wife because, as they delicately put it, "they're nuts". So instead, the husband will just let his wife believe that they are best friends in order to maintain marital bliss and household harmony.

It made me laugh not because I believe the statement to be true but rather because it was said with such authority despite the lack of supporting evidence. I should probably say that supporting evidence probably does exist, though none was presented in this highly refined debate.

Man, I wish I had a job where I could get away with making baseless, generalized statements all day!

(Side Rant: It's no wonder why we can't get anything done in this country when Congress spends our tax dollars talking about steriods in baseball when instead it should be talking about the war, the economy or some other topic of national and/or global importance.

To make matters worse, instead of talking about steriods in baseball, the local sports radio is talking about anything but!)

Yes, another indicator of the negative attitudes that are ruining our Western society.

Yes, if Congress want to clean up society they should start with the political system, same for the politicians here in Canada.

Are y'all saying that we SHOULDN'T believe everything we hear on the radio? Lol!

Just makes me look forward to football season next year.

& speaking of Steroids in baseball, I was thinking about wearing a "Palmeiro = Cheater" shirt at the local FWC B-ball game. Just kidding, maybe my life is just too mundane.

But really, if it's legally documented as a lie, it's not slander is it? I'm just glad that my wife has common sense enough to keep me from it!

Take care, friend.

wade. you shmuck. i just watched your video feed; i know for a fact you probably still have a rubber ducky. why push tate to new levels needlessly? also, of course you can't be best friends with your wife. who would even still believe that you could and furthermore...oh yeah, maybe i can't comment. still that single thing and what not. anyway, hope all is going well. remember: no sports radio has ever said anything to be ashamed of. be good. tell your wife and kid hi.

Hey Josh,

I think Rafy grew out his beard so that he would be less recognizable. But your t-shirt idea makes me giggle both as a closet Ranger fan as well as a FWC-grad!

Thanks to our wives, we men lead far more civilized lives!
