The End Of Rob As We Knew Him

As most of you are aware Rob gets married today.  This is a sad occurrence that will have ramifications for Say Anything readers.

  • I understand that Rob will be changing the name of this Blog to the “YesDearblog”.  Unfortunately that won’t be the only change.
  • You can count on a number of posts discussing the merits of leaving the toilet seat down.
  • He’ll have numerous posts on why husbands are more suited to taking the trash out than wives.
  • Rob will be able to intelligently discuss the proper apron to wear when he does the housework.
  • Count on a post about why wives are more suited to handle the checkbook.  He’ll be more than willing to explain how he spends his allowance.
  • I’m sure he’ll have many posts on why he feels more comfortable hanging out with her friends rather than his.
  • In the past Rob’s done quite a few movie reviews.  Future movie reviews will be exclusively devoted to reviewing chick flicks.
  • Rob’s posts (I should say when he’s allowed to post) will be focused on whether light pink or dark pink is more appropriate when decorating the house.
  • The only good news for readers (mostly local readers) is that Rob will be giving away or selling cheap a number of items such as his beer can collection, wagon wheel coffee table and almost-naked-girl posters.
  • On a related note, he’ll discuss how he sold his pistol and used the money to buy a good sewing machine.  (My brother actually did that.)
  • We can also trust him to have a much greater understanding of art fairs and cooking shows. 
  • Rob will have lots of fascinating posts concerning Dr. Phil’s latest shows.
  • Rob will Blog on the fact that anything his wife is yapping about is much more important than what he was doing.
  • Rob will be changing his last name to his wife’s.  No word yet if he’s allowed to keep calling himself “Rob.”

You can count on biting commentary from me until comes the time that SHE gets Rob to get rid of me.  We don’t know how long this will last.

So did I miss anything?


***Update***

My brother said that he sold ONE of his pistols and won’t do that again. 

Comments

Are you kidding?  He won’t even be allowed to post!

“Why are you in another room!?
“Why aren’t you spending time with me?!”
“I want to do something fun… I hate all [20] of your ideas!  ...Why aren’t we doing something fun?! ...I don’t know what I want to do.  Think of something for us to do! ...I told you, I don’t want to do those [20] things!  I’m BORED AND IT’S YOUR FAULT!  WHY ARE YOU LEAVING THE ROOM?!?!”

Sorry… I was having flashbacks from my marriage.

Half the posts will be about how he waited too long to say “no” to “does this make me look fat?”

FreeRepublicans.com on December 30, 2006 at 02:48 pm

Rob.  Congratulations.  Marriage is a wonderful institution.  I have enjoyed mine and would recommend it to anyone serious about life and family.  There will be ups and downs, and that first year is a roller coaster, but hold on for dear life!

That’s all fine as long as he doesn’t start doing reviews of “Oprah” or explaining why he misses “Rosie” the magazine.

Congrats Rob

Bye bye, Old Rob! I hope the new Rob will be very happy!

Congratulations Rob.
All kidding aside, marriage is a good institution, and a necessary one. Women are good for us in that they knock the rough edges off. Mine has been trying now for thirty years, but she still has some work left to do.
You have yourselves a good life together. And don’t go to bed angry.

You don’t think Rob will be checking in on his Blog while he’s on his honeymoon do you?


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Congratulations Rob.

Some of the advice my father offered to me:

Never introduce your bride as “my first wife.”

When someone asks you how long you have been married, it is not necessary to break it down into years, months, days, hours, and seconds.

Never decline on caring for your babies by responding, “Hell, I did my part over nine months ago.”

Eneils Bailey on January 1, 2007 at 06:34 am

Eneils, how about telling her that you’ll teach him how to play catch?  She can do the little stuff up until then.

Whis,
Yeah, men can do and teach the important things like how to:
Spit.
Scratch in public.
Hunt.
Fart.
Burp.
Play sports.
Etc....
The things that really bond guys together.

Eneils Bailey on January 1, 2007 at 07:19 am

You guys definitely need some spit and polish, a civilizing influence! Just kidding. Lots of happiness, lots of ofspring, Rob. Its fun giving them chores to do, comes in handy in your old age, too, when you can’t cut the grass anymore.

Margie,
Glad you see it as all in fun. Hope Rob does not put me on Say Anything double-secret probation.

If your blogs start to fly off into the ether without registering, as mine did last night, right in the middle of a good discussion, you might want to suspect something besides a computer malfuntion,Eniels. Naw, he’s a good sport, I think.Ever think about those poor lonely comments, floating in the void forever, looking for a home? Makes me sad. Just had to retype this one. What is wrong when you have to go back to home, go to the blog, click comments again each time for a comment to register? Any ideas?

Margie on January 1, 2007 at 07:50 am

Rule #1: Never answer questions about old girlfriends, even if she says,” Silly, it doesn’t matter now, anyway”

Rule #2: Never ask questions about old boyfriends. You really don’t want to know, you just think you do.

Margie on January 1, 2007 at 08:12 am

You can count on a number of posts discussing the merits of leaving the toilet seat down.

The women in Rob’s life have given up on this issue.  We just learned not to ever go in the dark.

He’ll have numerous posts on why husbands are more suited to taking the trash out than wives.

Aren’t they?  Especially at 20 below.

Rob’s posts (I should say when he’s allowed to post) will be focused on whether light pink or dark pink is more appropriate when decorating the house.

Jess will probably be sitting next to him on her computer while he posts.

On a related note, he’ll discuss how he sold his pistol and used the money to buy a good sewing machine.  (My brother actually did that.)

I already got her a sewing machine.

Jess and Rob are pretty well matched.  All I want is for my bunny to be happy for the rest of his life.  If it takes Jess, then that’s what I want too.  Jess promised me she’d always take care of my bunny.

While speaking at the head table at the wedding reception Rob said something about marriage being a solemn thing and said it sometimes takes twice to get it right.  Everyone in attendance cracked up and I nearly fell off my chair laughing.  But Jess covered his back.  She said, “It should only take me once.”

It was a great wedding.  I’ve got another daughter.  A year ago while Rob, Jess, my husband and I were in Las Vegas Jess and I got tatoos together.  At midnight at the Skin Factory.  It was fun.  We also went pearl “diving” at the MGM Grand and had pearl rings made to remind us to always be nice to one another.

Naw.  I won’t tell.  But you can be sure he’ll check it.  He can’t be away from his computer for long at all.  He even takes it to the bathroom with him.  If I find my hamper out of place, I know he’s been in there.

Whistler, you’re single, right?  Otherwise you certainly would have mentioned Rob trading in his motorcycle or truck for a minivan with mirrors for “farding” (applying makeup) and plenty of cupholders.  :^)

Robert Perry on January 2, 2007 at 02:25 pm

Mr. Perry:  I’m married with children, but never was into motorcycles so I missed that one.

I should note that my wife bought me my truck, my fishing gear, my power tools, and most of my guns.  It’s not the end of the world for Rob by any means if he’s chosen wisely.

Robert Perry on January 2, 2007 at 04:00 pm

He can probably get his pistol back!!!  And he still has his motorcycle.  He does his own laundry too.  Didn’t I tell you he is perfect???  I’m on my way to a Skyrockets game.  Got to guard the doors.  Our youth baseball group makes money for our program by working at the games.  I’ve got a season pass also so I get to watch the second half of the game.  Going to have a brat for supper.  With onions and mustard.
