1. There are polka dot towels in my bathroom.
2. The polka dot towels match my tooth brush holder.
3. I have a tooth brush holder.
4. I used to think Ikea was a neat place.

That's a good start.

I recommend the meatballs at Ikea.

I recommend the Expedit bookshelves. They can handle anything and are good looking in a minimalistic way.

Do you have a picture of them in use in your home?

I recommend divorce.

Nah. Retaliate with a Man Room! Re-establish yourself the alpha roll...

A friend of mine once told me: "Men are like tile floors; if you lay them right you can walk on them for years."

If she says she likes your 3/4" hardwood, I'd leave.

I recommend striped PJs. They'll go really well with the polkadots.

And what's so wrong with polka dots?

I love the matching guitar and shirt

Well, since you have clearly embraced the whole polka dot motif :shivers knowingly:, selling the wife is off the table........for now.

At this point, there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to save you. However, I can share some sagacious advice based on learnings painfully garnered over the years of seemingly endless marital purgatory. It won't save you, but it will serve to ease the pain.

Whatever she says, and whenever she says it, you need only two replies for a lifetime of contention avoidance.

1) Okay

2) You're right; I'm sorry

Polka dots is JUST the beginning.

I wish I could grudgingly acquiesce to marry, but it's hard to pull that off when I can't even get a date.

It'll happen someday Charles, don't rush it, then you too can have polkadots all over the house.

There's a guitar in that shot. I just see an oversized toothpick.

I guess she'll loves these speakers :p



and the sub??

Guys, everything turned out to be fine. I let her do whatever she wants decorating. I just make her play Wii in her underwear.

Polka dotted underwear, I hope!

By the way, congrats on getting married!

Nice.

OK, that sounds like a fair division of responsibilities

Doesn't sound fair to me! Equality to the sexes!

NO ONE cuts ME any slack when I Wii in my underwear!


Wait....

That was supposed to sound funny, but it came out as gross....

Its probably the stains on your underwear

I don't see any way to resolve this other than posting pics of Mark and the new Mrs. Lampshade playing Wii in their underwear and deciding whether they are truly equal...

... and I *really* don't think we want to go there. Can someone PLEASE come up with a better solution ? Before Mark has time to post again ?

Woo Hoo!

So that's you that posted those Wii vids on the internet.
