Tuesday’s Folly: The Bromance Edition

I wasn’t really going to do this. I mean, it’s a little embarrassing and all that. But with the Houston Texans actually hanging on for a win against the Jets, and Jim Thome hitting home-run number 600 last night…..I mean….I just can’t not do it, can I? Admittedly, I’m not as big a sports junkie as some guys are….I can’t name you every player on any NFL team ( although I do know the best ones) and I can’t tell you who the manager of the Red Sox is without Googling it….but I do like sports and most sports are played by men. Let’s face it, I think we’re all a little surprised that the WNBA is still around. 

So in honor of Mr. Thome, the Texans win, and the start of my favorite season – Football Season – I’ll share with you the latest regarding my bromance with Troutrageous! Mike. No,..there’s no denying it now. You don’t just send a T-shirt out to just anyone, you know?

What? He sent one to River Damsel? And who? Yukon…...YUKON? REALLY?  umm….well, we’ll just overlook that because obviously he didn’t want to send one JUST to me and hurt their feelings.  I heard he only ordered 3 anyway because I mean, face it – who really wants to walk around with a giant T on their..umm….chest.

Wait. I do. I want to walk around with a giant T on my …umm…chest. And I did. Right after this photo was taken we went into town for a cheap meal at our favorite cheap meal pasta joint ( which just so happens to serve awesome pasta). I wore my T! shirt and my wife made me get my own sweet tea refills. She would hardly let me talk about Troutrageous Mike the whole time. There was major eye-rolling when I mentioned that there were also two new decals in the package. She told me that he was just using me as a guina pig for his gear line. I smacked her with my straw and told her to shut up. ( and get me some more tea! )* She just doesn’t understand. What would a woman know about a bromance anyway?

eeeewwww, I'm dead sexy baby...oooooh, yeah....mmmmm....

*The preceding incident involving a straw, a smack down, and the telling of Mrs. Owl to shut up is purely fictional.

I’m sure those MT brown trout are going to look very nice cuddled next to the T!shirt… ; )

Nothing like some good bromance to start a Tuesday! Well done T!…we officially have a smitten Owl…ha!

You know, I wouldn’t even call it a shirt. It is a jersey :) You and T are so cute together.

I must admit that you look much better than I did in the T!shirt…I mean, the dancing/waving of the T! is a definite bonus…Oh, Mrs. Owl, you have my sympathies…even if this post is “purely” fictional. Do you own a fly swatter?

Oh I don’t know about that!

The WNBA is still around?!

Great/Funny post!

Apparently so! I was checking out events at Philips Arena in atlanta ( 20th Anniversary coming up) and they had “The Dream” and I was like…..whaaa? Women’s basketball. ok. whatever.

It’s funny you wrote this post. I had someone I sent stickers to have his wife get all mad at him because she thought the envelope was some sort of love letter (I guess lack of defined return address may have given that impression)…

Trust is earned.;) LOL
