(57,349 posts)I was going to tell him his show 'Mountain Men' ran over but I forgot to record that one too.
He's from Colorado and doesn't get to see many games and this was going to be a real treat when he came home in the morning.
And he still hasn't forgiven me for betting on Seattle.
oh man, I am so dead.

(25,348 posts)1.Get pliers...tear up a little bit of cable. ..2 inches is enough. Be sure to bend/cut the inner copper wire.
Nothing will shock you...very low voltage.
In short, make it look like one of those damn raccoons/fruit rats chewed the cable.
2. Tell the truth.

(57,349 posts)I could blame it on our mare, he forgave her for chewing up his tailgate.
And she didn't bet on Seattle.

(57,349 posts)It's completely plausible, our satellite cable has been nibbled on by something but I think it was eaten by our resident snake.

(57,349 posts)He is the most competitive person I have ever met, I'll even make a bet with him and when I lose catastrophically he'll forget all about it.

(Lee Roy Parnell/Tony Haselden)
I came in as the sun came up
She glared at me over her coffee cup
She said where you been, so I thought real hard and said,
I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard
She said you don't know it boy but you just blew it
I said well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my story, that's my story
Well I ain't got a witness I can't prove it but
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
Well I got that deer in the headlights look
She read my face like the cover of a book, and said
Don't expect me to believe all that static
'Cause just last week I through that hammock in the attic
My skin got so thin you could see right through it
And I started that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my story, that's my story
That's my story, that's my story
Well I ain't got a witness I can't prove it but
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
You know time comes when a wise man knows the best thing
That he can do is just look her up in the eye
And beg for mercy and face the bitter truth
Well honey me and the boys played cards all night
Wasn't no hanky panky not a woman in sight
And I know I shoulda called and baby I'm really sorry
Let's get a cellular phone then you won't have to worry
You know how much I love you and darling I'm ready to prove it
And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my story, that's my story
That's my story, that's my story
Well I ain't got a witness and you know I can't prove it but
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
You know I ain't gonna do a thing
Unless you approve it and
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it

(17,595 posts)Who really wants to watch that anyway?
ok I get that's not helpful. But as a Baltimore native I really don't have much interest in either team. Except for them both to lose! It's hard to imagine why anyone would watch them Ok, Manning. But whatever.

I usually start watching the game and hour late so I can fast forward through them.

(20,176 posts)When he comes home, grab him by the shirt, drag him to the bedroom, tear off his clothes, pull him into the bed, you know that thing he really likes, yes, do that thing, then in the post-coital afterglow, say you're sorry but you forgot to record the game.
Odds are, he won't care.
It's probably helpful to know the Broncos won 31-24.
