C'mon. Just say its just like that new pair of shoes you just picked up. Doesn't she have something she always picks up?

That's why I am gonna stay single for a long time!

NeoTrout · 05-03-2013, 09:04 AM

It's a Homer! No explaining necessary.

MisterChrister · 05-03-2013, 09:08 AM

Come on, man up already and do what I do; hide it for a few weeks and when she spots it you can honestly proclaim "oh I've had that awhile"!

Forgot to ask if you have young ones? If you do, you can say it's for them. Help get them interested in grilling and some bonding time since every kid loves them some Homer Simpson! I'm 25 and the Simpson's are still my favorite animated cartoon!

I have been thinking about this and all this wishey washy is not bbq manly – frankly I am embarrassed for all of you. Lay down the law like I do and let her know who is boss – this is what I would do:

I would get home at 5:30 p.m. and slam the door (because I am King of the castle) and tell her flat out – “Hell yeah I bought a new grill and I will buy a new one any time I damn well please – now go pour me a cold beer - bring it to me and shut your pie hole!

Of course she doesn’t get home until 6:00 p.m. but the dogs and cats know who is King! I also get to the package first and get it to the garage - what she doesn't know want hurt me.

That would cause said shoe/purse to be thrown in my direction.....

fast forward a couple weeks and another one pops up and i saw the bid was at $61, so i threw in $67.75 with five hours to go and i forgot about it.

got to work this morning and saw where i won the bid at $62, so i guess i'll get to explain this in a few days....

BOLD=mine for emphasis

You guys are all missing the boat here. We have a Brother on here that has the perfect opportunity to pull the "Wife's" card.

Just say, "Honey, it was on sale! I saved 33%!"

+ 1 for sneaking it in then saying you've had it for awhile when she notices. Maybe keep it in an out of the way corner so she won't notice it for a week or so.

Newenglandbbqer · 05-03-2013, 11:42 AM

This type of stuff is the reason I'm still debating if I want to get married or not that and in a divorce I'd loose every thing I own.
