I've made mention before but it bears repeating that I am a man in only the most basic definition of the word. By that I mean that I proudly possess a Y chromosome, a penis and the occasional bits of stubble on my face. Beyond that, I would be hard pressed to identify with the societal expectation of what knowledge and skill sets should be at my disposal.

Sports

This is a subject that dudes are supposed to know about. Not only know about, but follow closely, talk at length about and sound like they know what they're saying when they scream at a television. I enjoy baseball, but when it comes to the others like Football, basketball or hockey, I've found that I've developed a certain survival skill when these subjects come up in conversation- I fake it.

Someone will say something to me like, "The Colts committed two penalties for 15 yards in the fourth quarter and allowed three sacks, two of which resulted in fumbles and one of which was recovered by the Patriots inside the final three minutes! Can you believe that shit?"

Me: I guess the Colts just wanted it more.

Them: What do you mean? The Colts lost.

Me: Oh sure, they LOST, but did you see how disappointed they were? You could tell they really wanted it.

Through a very painful system of trial and error, the wife and I have achieved a codified system of rules. These rules have been established in order to perform a more perfect union, to keep the general peace in our abode and prevent anyone from doing anything before "turning the gun on themselves."

One of the Systems for Equality that was established early on concerns our respective birthdays. Birthdays can be a difficult and resentment-inspiring time of year for couples. What with, "Hey, I spent more on you than you did on me!" and "I most certainly did NOT mention that a threesome might be fun!" and the other various arguments that can occur.

We decided to screw all that noise and we drafted the Sadler House Bill #102 Concerning the Establishment and Rules of Birthday Week.
