HMWHC membership down by one

As you all know by now, the blogosphere is infamous for being a news spoiler. But who blogs the bloggers? Sure the MSM loves to bag bloggers but all they manage to do is run up Glenn Reynolds' ad revenue every time they whine.

However, there's something sinister going on. Two big name bloggers are up to something. They both deny it, but I really believe otherwise. So do others. What's the evidence, you ask? Witness:

dinner

'consulting'

more dinner

pet bonding

more dinner

more 'consulting'

sing-alongs

innuendo

giving each other little pet names

Do you really need more?

Well then, how about this? Last Friday night I called up my old buddy WR to blatantly petition for some link whorage (I have no pride) and we chatted for about an hour as he flitted about running errands. First he bought a lottery ticket ("because some day, I'll need a bigger place" HINT #1), then it was to the mall so he could get a banana split. Now I gotta ask you, what single straight man (who's not a total perv) goes to the mall alone to get himself a banana split? A man giddy in love I tell ya. And it's not enough that he gets himself ice cream at the mall, then he goes clothes shopping (HINT #2). What kind of man goes clothes shopping while he has another man on the phone? A man in love. A man who's trying to impress a woman and isn't ashamed to admit it. Why were you looking at $40 ties there buddy? Huh? Who ya trying to impress with those new Dockers, huh?

I'm sorry old friend, NO MAN goes and suffers through a 9 hour Star Wars marathon with some girl he has no interest in (HINT #3). It just doesn't happen. Unless of course, he's her brother or he's playing for the other team. Which is it buddy?

And what kind of woman willingly goes along with a man for a whole day of this kind of thing if she doesn't think there's something in it for her by the end of the day?

Yeah, I've heard the denials. But I'm just not buying it.

And sure, you could slam me again for my misogyny, but evilwife really did make my dinner as soon as she got home, just like every good woman should.

I may sleep on the couch (again) tonight, but at least my HMWHC membership is well protected.

UPDATE: ok, you're partially right Meryl dear. It was Tolkien and not Star Wars, because Star Wars woulda been true love.
