My g/f won't watch shows with me...

[Berek]

that contain guns. We were watching CSI and I told her what handgun it was before they said it and she said she'd had enough. Now, she won't watch any shows that have guns with me... or so she says...

Imagine how she felt during Grosse Point Blank...

 

[palerider1]

GET RID OF HER OR YOU'LL BE BANGING YOUR HEAD UNTIL YOU DIE OR DIVORCED.:banghead:

 

[Justin]

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.



I see we've evidently landed in Selfparodyastan.

 

[4v50 Gary]

No offense Beren, but I wouldn't watch TV with you either. It's not the company but TV drives me crazy.:banghead: I can't stand it and prefer other leisure activity. Perhaps you can have your girlfriend relax and reload bullets instead of watching TV?

 

[palerider1]

get a paintball marker gun and have her run back and forth across the back lawn while you practice your shooting skills

If ya can't laugh at yourself or your life, you're either too serious or dead... As for me, I rule the Surreal Life!

 

[Optical Serenity]

Its ok, my wife finally came around years ago and started watching more "real" gun shows...like CourtTV series like Forensic Files, Investigators, etc... Seems like all I had to do was get her the right show. Also, she enjoyed them better after we went shooting...

Try some other activities, and she'll come around eventually. But in all seriousness, don't loose a person over TV.

 

[mordechaianiliewicz]

Why?

Did she not want to watch w/ you b/c she doesn't like guns, or b/c It's irritating to watch a show with someone who talks during it

 

[Standing Wolf]

I abandoned television years ago because it featured shootings, more shootings, and still more shootings. Between the shootings and the canned laughter, my interest waned to naught.

Shootings and canned laughter?!!
Sounds like an unusual show!

Yeah, is it the guns she doesn't like, or you constantly telling her about the guns?

 

[wingnutx]

I'm lucky. My wife loves discovery-type forensics shows, COPS, and Firefly.

I think that show was called the A-Team.

When I hear people talk about how they don't watch or like tv why does a image of the unabomber with a snotty english accent pop into my mind.

TV is no different than any other form of entertainment. You get out of it what you want to get out of it.

Not watching tv does not make one enlightened.

Well, before my sister moved out and got married and all, she hated watching tv or movies either one with me. If it involved guns, I ID'd 'em. If it was a western, I pointed out all the period-incorrect clothing and gear as well as the guns. Bonanza, now, they had it all wrong; they didn't even reload.

Me: "They got (insert whichever detail) wrong."

My sister: "***big eyeroll*** IT'S A MOVIE. WHO CARES? I DON'T CARE."

+1. It reminds of an article The Onion (an online parody news site) once ran about a pretentious college kid who insisted on telling (and retelling) everyone he met that he didn't own a T.V.

WOO HOO Go A-Team 3 million shots fired no death. Got to love it.

 

[jdkelly]

Worse then the being repeatedly told that someone doesn't own a TV, is having to repeatedly tell someone that you don't own a TV.

[shermacman]

Can't figure out what to do with the girlfriend? Get married, then you can have sex!




Or not...

 

[blackdragon]

Get a tivo. Then it gets worse, 'cuz you can rewind, pause and slo-mo the video to get a better look at the guns. Guarenteed to drive spouses batty.

So I guess you won't be taking her to see a double feature of Blackhawk Down and We Were Soldiers?

Can you imagine a gun nut who is OCD and ADD during Blackhawk Down?

"Ah! M14! Ah look Ma, its an M4, Ah, Squirrel!"

No Mom, I don't have cable, remember? haven't had it for 5 or 6 years now.

Oh...I like that commercial for bill's hardware, did you see it?

I know the fealing. No one will watch gladiator with me no more

My wife grew up in Taiwan, where Chow Yun Fat is the gun culture, and so you can imagine her surprise when I tell her "Honey, I'm willing to pay $3000 per bullet hit for ANY PERSON who can swing a gun around a coat, shoot with a toothpick in their mouth, don't aim nor look, and still get people between the eyes, all while holding the gun sideways and oh yeah, don't forget a 1911 hold 800 rounds.."

Hollyweird does things with guns which defy physics..
