The future Mrs. Nigel
August 24th, 2009 at 2:51 pm by NigelSome of you may know, I am soon to be married. Keeping in mind that the future Mrs. Nigel is a recent LEGAL immigrant to the United States, recently her actions and words have just confirmed that I have hit the “wife lottery”:
* While watching a recent Obama-mercial/”town hall” on health care, she pointed at our President and said, “That man is lying”. When I asked how she knew she said, “I can tell just by looking at him. Look at his eyes.” Gotta love cultural differences. (Although that put me on alert that I better never come home late with some BS excuse).
* She has become a rabid Charger fan and will watch most any football game now. Everytime we drive past Qualcomm Stadium now she throws up her hands and yells “touchdown!” She wants season tickets…
* With no prompting from me and despite the fact that English is her THIRD language, the future Mrs. Nigel picked up Ann Coulter’s How to Talk to a Liberal and just started to read. She was especially befuddled at why Bill Clinton did nothing despite the World Trade Center Bombing in 1993, the Khobar Towers bombing in 1996 or the USS Cole bombing in 2000.
* She laughed uproariously at the fart scene in Blazing Saddles.
Did I “score” or what?

Even after more than three decades, still one of the top 3 funniest movie scenes ever.

She’s pretty cute too.

I think that’s called running up the score.
Whatever you do, don’t let her watch “The Real Housewives of ____(anywhere)___”. That would just ruin her if she knew other women were allowed to act that way.

I’ll give you this, Nigel, you can find quality. Mazel Tov you two.

Piling on the Chargers Bandwagon sold me, amigo. Now, if you could get her to practice her best Lee “Smacksaw” Hamilton, “TOUCHDOWN, San Diego!”

Congrats.
I hit the wife lottery last year with my bride from mainland China.
There are conflicts however: She’s a Sooner fan. I am a Cowboys fan, but she does watch football and college basketball with me, something she never did before.
