Tidy up the place or go to the bar?

Well, I don't have to take some corporate folk out to dinner tonight after all. (I'm not changing my avatar yet though). Question is this. Should I clean up the house before the wife gets home tomorrow night or just head over to the bar for drink(s) and dinner? I'm rather torn on this one and want to poll the audience Regis.

Tell Nader he can stop by for a beer after he finishes tidying up around the place...

Goto bar and then let the beer monster tidy up when you get back. Nice surprise for you when you awake in the morning!

No brainer. Head to the tavern and hire a cleaning service.

I voted "bar," but have to re-think this...







Exactly how "appreciative" will SWMBO be if she comes home to a clean house? Like, I have to go put away clothes soon, as this REALLY makes SWMBO quite happy..... quite happy.... so it might behoove you to crack a beer or three at the house and get the vacuum out.

Beer wherever. Then think about cleaning. It's the thought that counts.

Yeah, beer monster. Only, do homebrew and get busy!

I've got it. Build a bar at the house. Make sure you tidy up though. That will hopefully soften the wrath of having a bar at the house.

go to the bar. Or do 1 thing like empty the dishwasher or something else that's easy then go to the bar, you can always say you did something instead of nothing.

Man, go to the bar. I have learned that with proper motivation, you can clean up whatever mess you need to in about 2 hours. Do it tomorrow, just before she gets home. I do my best work under pressure.

About your avatar: "Did your parents have any children that lived?!!"

Do both - spend 20 minutes cleaning then ditch out and grab a beer.

Ya, do both!

Cleaning is one of those things you can do a really half-ass job and still make it look good enough to impress SWMBO

My Suggestion

Drink Beer WHILE cleaning up

1 beer for kitchen, one beer for living room 1 beer for bedroom, and 3 beers waiting for laundry to finish.

It's all good

Well, the bar it was after I saw 2 votes in favor. Clean up tomorrow b4 work. Its not an easy task though as I am a huge slob when she's gone. Early night though. The "bar hag" (not ugly but) sat next to me so I had motivation to get the he!l out of there. She dated the owner for a while and she's one of those fatal attraction chicks. We have a call when she draws near. Think 3 bartenders and about 5 regulars calling out Ka-Koo-Eeeeee! as she draws near. It's the warning for Steve to get the Frick into his office. She hasn't figured it out thus far . Definite stalker & I don't think her legs move as she walks.

Step 1, go to Bar, buy a couple rounds for your friends.

Step 2, Bribe friends with HB to come back and help you clean.

Step 3, awaken tomorrow morning to an even bigger mess.

Step 4, remember to never listen to me when it comes to drinking.

That's it...set him up for an argument. Something like:

DB: "DOes this house being clean make you want to get nekked?"
SWMBO: "I keep the house clean all the time. It's about time your fat ass does something besides play on the internet talking about beer and looking at porn. You disgust me, you sick pig. My friends husbands are all doing something with their life besides growing a stomach and spending our money. Go to hell you lazy bastard, I'm leaving you and becoming a lesbian, and not a cute one either."

"no wonder you want my ma on you, I have seen a photo of your wife!", could be my reply but I would not say such things. never. not me.

Awesome! I have a bigger mess to clean. Was having a wild ferment with my hefe that required a blow-off. get everything ready; pull the bung and boom, wort everywhere. I am going to be soooo beaten down. Lucky I'm a sadist. Afro time

:fro:

Man I was only kidding about having a bigger mess to clean tomorrow.

Sorry about the blow. Better to catch it tho I guess than to let it blow all over the place.

You and the yeast have not been friendly lately.

You're on a brewing forum. What do YOU think the poll's going to be....

Go to the bar! Play first, work second. (Yeah, you can tell I'm a student....heheh)
