Huh 1: We could play at Questions

Re: Huh 1: We could play at Questions

Leave FlagDUDETTE out of this. If you want to go after me, do it all you want, but she is 100% off limits.

I don't know if I agree with "very high". There are some church-going 20-to-30-something women in urban areas, but they aren't necessarily "crazy" or Trumpers. One can be religious or "spiritual", without being politically conservative, or at least identify as "somewhat conservative" without being clinically insane. You know, doing your best to love thy neighbor, forgive transgressions, and give money/time to the poor - the key message that Jesus actually taught people to live. :rolleyes:

People who are trying to live by Jesus' teachings aren't contemporary Republicans. I'm fine with dating a sincere believer who walks the walk. I mean, as long as she's still freaky.

He saw people making a joke about him having a hypothetical GF or wife and took it as a direct insult against his IRL squeeze.

Ah, the Bob Gray defense.

To be fair, I did call her a nut, which was wrong. And more directly insulting than a middle school-level joke that AZ Gov. Jan Brewer was Bob's mistress, because of how often he defended her.

As for FlagDUDETTE, for all we know she could be his much better half...and a living saint for trying to "fix" him.

Most of the posters on here can't get a date anyway so how would it come up?

Re: Huh 1: We could play at Questions

Speaking of questions, I'd like to brag that Dr. Mrs. and I won DC Trivia at the RTC ATR last night. I invite anybody in the area to show up Thursdays at 7 -- it was fun and the higher level questions are very good. We'll be there every Thursday because we're trying to build enough points to qualify for nationals (except next week because Elvis Costello at Wolf Trap). Our team is Bonni Doesn't Know Zephram Cochrane.

Perhaps you would be interested in entering the World's Largest Trivia Contest held every spring on UW-Stevens Point's 90FM. I believe the Contest is entering it's 49th year. I haven't played for ages but I used to play on a perennial top 10 team. It's 54 straight hours of madness with eight questions per hour and thousands of participants on several hundred teams. This is in the Big Leagues of trivia. Winning it is a virtual impossibility but it is an enormous amount of fun and sleep deprivation.

I'm reminded that once, before the internet, on a 1:00 am question about what year the exploding scoreboard came into Comiskey and in what I thought was a real stroke of genius, I called information for Bill Veeck's home number in Chicago.

I was his fourth caller. He was very nice about it though.

You can call for info?

Boo! :p

I prefer bareback trivia. No phones, no kibitzing, just you, your partner, and alcohol for inspiration.
 
Re: Huh 1: We could play at Questions

On a scale of 1-10, where 1 is a shrug and 10 is nuclear war, how bad would weighing in on a text message thread with future in-laws be:

CC: Future Mother IL, SIL #1 + BIL#1, SIL #2 + BIL #2, fiancee
Future SIL #1 (just moved to Texas): Something my daughter noticed right away is that there were American flags everywhere. It's great to be in a place where people actually love our country!
Fiancee: let's not get into controversial topics now...
FSIL #1: What!? I said (daughter) was excited to see the flags everywhere. I think loving our country is a good thing.
FIancee: nevermind
FSIL #1: That would be sad if that's controversial

I really, really want to let her know the places I have seen the most American flags were Boston, NYC, and Washington DC.

A family that group texts? Yikes

THey do but they don't. It's rare I hear from BIL/SIL via text. They're generally good people despite their deeply misguided opinions on politics and vaccines. (I know, I know...) They were texting us about settling in and this was like text #15 in the string. Everything else was normal family talk.

That said, BIL/SIL #2, my fiancee, and I text all the time. All four of us at least have our heads on straight. Most of us are all reformed centrists/libertarians/etc.
 
Re: Huh 1: We could play at Questions

You can probably deflect by saying that it's nice to see the American flag flying and leave it at that. I'd rate it around a 4-5 as it stands.

You already know that this is a political Claymore sitting in your path. Just dodge the 1st one, but realize that if you keep heading down this path, sooner or later you will have to engage the problem. I am also assuming that this is ignorance of their stance on your SIL/BIL and not outright baiting on their part.
