DH's latest obsession
I like to call DH my "undercover redneck". He wears dress clothes to work, drives a nicer car, and likes to wear Banana Republic jeans.
That said, he also enjoys guns, shooting, and blowing things up. You just wouldn't look at him and think that he's Yosemite Sam or something.
But he's decided that in his lifetime the apocalypse will come. Keep in mind, DH isn't religious. This isn't about the second coming of Christ, it's the world falling into chaos. So at night we get into bed and read or watch TV. He likes reading catalogs for guns and such. Last night he told me he wants a sword, a grappling hook, a year's supply of MREs (meals-ready-to-eat, it's what soldiers are fed), and a water purification system. Oh and some throwing stars. You know, for when the ninja army comes and your guns don't work.
I laughed at him. He told me that he needs to plan and keep his family secure.
Re: DH's latest obsession
throwing stars? SHUT UP. that is hilarious.
i love everything about this post.
Apparently, throwing stars satisfies a need he's had since childhood. He's always wanted some.
His birthday is in a month and a half. I'm tempted to buy him throwing stars.
You realize that he will have Blobby using these stars before the kid is 2.
if i told Dh about this thread, he'd think he also needed throwing stars.
confession - DH has several swords, just for kicks (obviously, since he's never sword-fought anyone, nor has he ever needed to). when i mock him, he says they are also good for protection.
um, not really since a couple are in my trunk and in the closet at the old place.
Absolutely not. He's actually very cautious about all that when it comes to the baby. He bought another safe to store more of his stuff in so that the kid can't get into it.
Also, I'm pretty crazy and I'd go apesh!t on him if I ever caught that. I think it would be better if he asked for a tranquilizer gun to use on me, but I won't suggest that.
throwing stars makes me think of this guy...
