The Shiz My Boyfriend Says, Vol. XXV

by rachaelgking on March 30, 2010 · 61 comments

You all know this game by now. Time for another installment of “The Shiz My Boyfriend Says.” Woot!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In bed, contemplating the next round of our workout program…

B: Maybe you can do a real pull up tomorrow!

Me: {skeptical glance}

B: C’mon, it’ll be useful- you know, if you’re ever in a big hole! Or a well. A well with a bar in it. … {ponders introspectively…} It would suck to die in a well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the couch…

Me: You’re breathing loudly over there. Are you mouth breathing?? You know what they say about mouth breathers.

B: That they breathe better because mouths are bigger than noses? Is that what they say?!

***Ed. note: B is NOT a mouth breather. This was a fluke, hence why I commented on it. Gross.***

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Watching the furbabies fight, and for once, Murray is winning…

Me: Axe Murderer’s getting fat, man.

B: {all defensive and shit} She’s not fat! She’s just pleasantly plump.

Me: *skeptical side-eye glance*

B: Well, she’s not pleasant… so that kind of rules that out, huh? I guess she’s just plump.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After brunch with the girls, I arrive home on Sunday to find B lounging on the couch… with a towel rolled up behind his neck.

Me: Um. Why do you have a towel rolled behind your head?

B: So I don’t have to hold my head up to watch TV! DUH!

Me: ……………………………

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 I guess we really do need one of those ridiculous neck contraptions from SkyMall.

Don’t forget to check out my round up today on DC Blogs!

Uggghhhh mouth breathers….why do people do that?

2 carissa March 30, 2010 at 9:27 am

Awww poor, unpleasant Axe Murderer… The more I hear about him I feel I may be able to break my “hating cats with a passion” clause for that little feller. And Lilu, I have to say I am totally against pull ups. I figure this. If I’m gonna do a pull up, I want a crowd of people there to celebrate my ability to lift my body weight using only my arms. But if there is a crowd of people surrounding the well when I fall in it, I would expect one of those hot townspeople, or at the very least a fireman to pull me out. I should probably stop watching Lifetime movies.

I’m changing my cats name to Axe Murderer2 since I think they must be from the same litter. I love “Well, she’s not pleasant… so that kind of rules that out” — ha!! I have to show D this.

Do you think he’s making Axe Murderer fat because he secretly is trying to make her as big as a tiger?

My hubs found a great use for the baby”s Boppy pillow. He uses it around his neck so he doesn’t have to hold his head up! It’s much cheaper than that Sky Mall contraption. Just FYI.

Oh, you kids. On my life list is going: Be a fly on the wall at LiLu and B’s house. (Only in the, uh, appropriate times, of course.)
Also, if you can do a pull up you’re my hero.

Mouth breathers are gross I agree. Unfortunately pregnancy makes you congested as hell and I have become one sometimes recently. And since you’re pregnant you can’t take decongestants! It sucks b/c I know it’s gross but I can’t help it! It’s driving me bat shit!

19 Carrie March 30, 2010 at 12:03 pm

You really make me laugh. I so needed this today. Thanks!

20 Jane March 30, 2010 at 12:16 pm

I have a confession to make: I am an occasional mouth-breather. There, I said it. Am I proud of it? No. But sometimes, when my allergies* are bad, it’s my only option. (Gosh, it feels good to say that out loud…)

*Yes, I have allergies too. I’m disgusting! A monster! ;-)

I can do about 1 pull-up on those bars that you can hang in the doorway. One and done. Then my arms are sore and I figure that’s good enough.
.-= Liebchen´s last blog ..Now who do I root for? =-.

23 Dani March 30, 2010 at 12:35 pm

He does have a point on that first one…but only in that it WOULD suck to die in a well. Other than that not really though.

26 Alyxmyself March 30, 2010 at 12:54 pm

Ah, man. I have some chronic issue where my tissues swell shut, if I lay down I can’t breathe thru my nose. Consequently I am a loud breather/snorer/drooler yah. It sucks. I do the strips, the spray, the pills, all dat. It’s really not sexy and I wish it wasn’t true. But along with a tendancy to hold chubby around my middle, its part of my genetic makeup I have no control over. Laaaaame.

Pull ups=most awesome underappreciated excercise there is. Excellent compound movement; use the assist machine, get your form right, buy yourself shots the first time you can lift your bodyweight.

This is my goal for 2010. I will do unassisted widegrip pullups and chins.

@mooooog…heeheeheeheheeeee gross.

28 Herding Cats March 30, 2010 at 12:56 pm

My cats are getting fat too – well, one of them is. The other one is ridiculously skinny. I think the fat cat eats his food. Sigh. Yesterday, my brother called me a cat lady. The only thing I have in my defense is the fact that I’m not single…

I think we should send all mouth breathers to an island somewhere and let them battle it out for King of the Mouth Breathers.

And, uhm, for those other people (who aren’t me) who don’t know what ‘they’ say about mouthbreathers, you should probably spell it out…..they’re probably too embarrassed to ask cos they’ll look clueless….I’D explain, since I SO know what it is, but it is YOUR blog and I don’t want to step on any toes…. *cough*

Is it possible that Axe Murderer so fat she’s become the mouth breather?

i love the shiz your boyfriend says! i guess if baby jessica could have done pull-ups, she wouldnt have been in the well so long?!?

Haha, awesome. Push ups are good for situations like that. Once near Fenway I dropped my wallet in one of those holes on the sidewalk that are really deep and must lead to a creepy basement of a club. I jumped down like I was spiderman and then popped back up. Now that I think about it, it was probably the alcohol that gave me the strength.

I should tell Chuck to try the towel thing. That way I don’t have to listen to him bitch and complain every.stinkin.day about how his neck hurts from “holding his head up”. Men are weenies!
