Mark and I are a mixed couple. He is not a football fan. I am a fanatic. He has improved over the years and somewhat learned to accept my rabidness when it comes to my Huskers and the excitement I have for college football in general. He can't stay interested in an entire game.
Last year, I started keeping track of the annoying things he does during games just to get me to pay attention to him. It's too soon to tell whether I will need to continue that this year. In honor of the first Husker game of the season, this is one of my favorite lists from last year.
The Game: Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Missouri Tigers
The Date: October 30, 2010
The Deeds:
1. Let our indoor cat, Phoenix, out.
2. Brought the neighbor's cat in.
3. When I got up during a commercial to put the neighbor's cat back out, he locked the door thinking it would be funny.
4. Despite repeated requests that he start the grill during the 2nd quarter so it would be ready at halftime, he didn't start it til halftime and then gave me a hard time about not helping him with the food when the coals were finally ready during the 3rd quarter.
5. Let the dogs out on the front porch (with a barrier blocking the entrance so they were at least fairly secure) and then came back inside, leaving them unsupervised.
6. Brought me his laptop with a game set up for me to play in case I felt like doing that during the game.
7. Tried to dress our dog, Maddie, in his clothes.
8. Shut the armoire door blocking the TV.
9. Stood in front of the TV.
10. Engaged in nearly non-stop inane chatter.
