	My wife is discussing football history with one of her friends... Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Ohio State and Woody Hayes, to be exact. Ain't she great?

A few weeks ago we're watching a game and she unloads the following bomb on me:

quote: Is that guy lined up in the neutral zone?

As I was collapsing to the floor in a state of shock, the last thing I noticed before unconsciousness took over was a flash of yellow flag, obviously signalling off-sides.

Now she's talking about UGA coach Mark Richt, how much she respects him, and oh by the way, what is LSU's mascot? Speaking of mascots, let me tell you about the 1996 GA-Auburn game where UGA (the dawg) nearly bit an Auburn player who got too close...

My God, what hath I wrought?

I'm getting laid by a woman who enjoys watching the game with me. What could be more thrilling than that?

Getting laid by two women who like football?

Seriously, though, I do envy you. Good work.

It's really not that funny when non-Brits use "handmelon". Hell, it's not that funny when Brits use it, but at least it's their thing.

I find myself tempted to masturbate to this fantasy, good one! Tell us more about her friend, expiring minds want to know.

Don't pretend to be an expert when you are not.

Stefu orginated the term.

No he didn't. "Melon" as a phrase for the football and "handmelon" for the game was coined quite a few decades ago - for some reason, I'm associating it with Papa Halas and the Chicago Bears.

I've occasionally wondered about this word "handmelon". Google turned up only 6 links, one at a site connected with the University of Chicago:

http://rescom.uchicago.edu/dodd-mead-house/lad_chi.html

No positive connection with Halas though.

I'm digging up a bunch of old Rugby references, and a large number of references to "football shaped melons" and stuff, but a conclusive cite in re: to American football being called melons? Not yet...

as if the fact that she's your wife, mother of your child, and attractive wasn't enough?




still, i'll admit it's great to have shared interests.
