NEED HELP BADLY

[geedell]

I have 2 tickets to the Louisville game, but I'm also supposed to go out of town with the Mrs. I need ideas on how to get out of it.


No way am I missing Roy, Jon, Pat and Tyler's last game

[Just Cos]

If you're flying, salt the clouds. If you're drving, ice the roads.

Or say you caught the flu from Marquette.

[hoyaboy1]

I suggest finding someone who has a contagious disease and having them take liberties with her personal objects.

[Boz]

Call up Sylester Stallone, Michael Caine and/or Pele and have them break your arm or leg.

Don't worry. They'll make it a clean break.

[hoopsmccan]

Have you tried striking her?

[royski]

Do you have a body double?

[FromTheBeginning]

How about a late Friday PM "kidnapping" - you disappear until Saturday about 4PM and all the other board members can take turns making ridiculous ransom demand calls.

[FromTheBeginning]

Just maike sure you have the tickets with you when you get 'napped.

[PhillyHoya]

Just go with the MQ example, get a giant blowup of yourself and run before she can tell the difference.

then another guy will be banging his spouse.. lol

[rccoleon]

"work emergency" or lock her in your basement or simply explain to her the importance of you going to the game.

work emergency allows you to tell her you are at work while you attend the game.

These are the sacrifices that must be made.

[Nevada Hoya]

How about promising a trip to Paris in return for seeing the game?

Problem 1: You let your wife leave town.
Problem 2: You let your wife leave the kitchen.

Change the second and you'll be fine in this case and many in the future.

[HoyasAreHungry]

Problem 3: you married someone who doesn't understand the importance of Georgetown Basketball games

[tlphoya]

Why aren't you married to someone who understands the importance of this game?

If not: (only as last resort)
Nice jewelry will probably work and then you don't have to get 'kidnapped'. Call ahead and do your homework - i.e., you can change reservations without a fee (even if there is a fee pay it so she won't know), you have everything arranged for x weekend, get an upgrade (and see pay fee ahead of time) and then you probably have to take her to the game with you, unless she wants to chit chat the whole time or something. Then screw it and go with the work emergency.

[HoyasAreHungry]

there's always the matter of an annulment......i think hoyalawyer or any of the other lawyers on this board can help you with this

[lichoya68]

first try calm pleasant logic you know how very important it is.. this is a very big game which cant be rescheduled but the other plans might and might be even better and then if that wont work there is a possiblity of just SAYING NO but i cant talk ill be in spain at a georgtown meeting scheduled on the day of the final home game for seniors vs. the ville for the freaking big east champioinship so how in gods name can i give any worth whille advice.. .i hope im not sick and cant fly thatd be awful i actullay an coming down with a cold oh well good luck enjoy the game at LEAST make sure youre free at noon somewhere where you can watch it ps if you let people know where you have to go you might get more specitif ideas and its only a game ya right go hoyas beat the ville hope you get there on sat cheer for me loudly and often

[KHoyaNYC]

How did you manage to have 2 tix for the game and sked the out of town trip at the same time?

[The Stig]

Tell her how much the game means to you. Promise great things in return for her letting you go to the game.
