Revoking a Friend’s Man Card

Sometimes you just have to just have to step in and revoke a friend of your’s man card.. at least temporarily. There can be a variety of reasons for taking such a drastic action. For example deciding to forgo poker night and go shoe shopping with your wife / girlfriend. Allowing your girlfriend to decorate your house with girlie shit…. ( flowery candles are a great example ).

There are just times where a man has to say enough is enough… so I was surprised yesterday when one of my closest friends in the whole world informed me that he would probably miss the Penn State / Notre Lame game to attend “some concert” at the fair.

My first reaction was “oh…” (yes I was temporarily stunned into oh)

Then I said.. “The Cambria Country Fair (CCF)?… No right.” (thinking there is pretty much no way anyone in the world is skipping PSU / NL for a concert at the CCF)… maybe the New York State Fair…

He response was “ya, the CCF fair.. Jen wants to catch a some band there”

My next response was to berate myself for falling for this practical joke. “Right dude your not serious right…. quit fucking with me, this is serious”

Response: “Dude I am serious, I’m not even sweating it, it will be fine, it’s all good”

Now I understand, compromise. I’m the king of compromise right Christine.. but we all need to have that line in the sand where we draw the line.

There are a few more problems here.. while it is plausible to skip the game for a concert.. (as Christine pointed out, “hey maybe My Chemical Romance is playing”)… to which I responded.. are you fucking crazy… its some band that nobody has ever heard of.. I’m not even sure it would qualify as a band… how did I know this without looking it up… I knew this because they are playing at the CCF and I’M FROM THERE, I KNOW THE CONCERTS!

So this morning I decided just to be safe I should look it up… Emerson Drive… fucking Emerson Drive… I don’t know if I have ever heard of this band, but if I have it’s because my mom or something listens to them… so I’m sorry bro.. I’ve got to revoke your man card… at least for this week. ) Now before anybody gets too offended I’m sure I’ve lost my way once or twice in my life.. maybe once…. and if he thought he was going to get a pass.. no way.. can’t give one here.

Did Christopher just ask me to agree that he’s the “King of Compromise?” No… he didn’t really do that, did he? This is coming from the guy who, when we order a plate of chili-cheese fries to share, he quickly takes all the fries that actually have cheese on them and puts them on his own plate so he can take his time eating them later without worrying that I might take a few of them???

I realize this is probably an example of boys giving each other shit. But my feeling on this is… hey. Even if the concert ends up being lamer than the football game, it’s nice that his friend has someone he likes doing stuff with. I’m sure — SURE– that his girlfriend has done shit she didn’t feel like doing just because he really wanted her to.

When he told me about this. This is how the conversation went.

Christopher: He’s going to a concert instead of watching the game.
Me; So?
Christopher; At the Cambria County Fair.
Me: Okay…
Christopher: Christine. That would be like me missing the Penn State game so I could go tampon-shopping with you.
Me: ??? No, it’s not.
Christopher: Okay, well maybe not quite the same… it’d be like me asking you to write web copy for some boring ass company instead of going to the USC game.
Me: Chris, no it’s not like that either.
Christopher: Whatever. It’s lame. He loses his man card.
Me: It might actually be fun. Maybe they’re going to drink a few beers, eat junk food, hang out, play some games, go to the concert…
Christopher: Maybe, but he’s missing the game for it.

All I have to say is maybe it’s okay to relinquish the man card for the “not completely selfish” card… -)

Don’t worry I’m just dishing out a little shit today.. it was just too wide open of an attack… and hey I have nothing wrong with someone liking Emerson Drive… but I do have a problem with liking them over Penn State Football.. priorities people.

LOL… the place he’s talking about is Texas Loosey’s… and it was a bunch of nasty girls with C-section scars and cellulite in hotpants, bras, and chaps serving food that had a western theme. The last time we went, the salad I ordered was disgusting and the mensa of a waitress we had forgot my drink so I finally walked up to the bar myself and asked th bartender if I could just have it before all the ice melted. I recently saw an ad for the place where they advertised “Come check out our new family-friendly uniforms!” ROFL!

I don’t think that’s the place you wanna go. -)
