My wife + Twilight = Creepy?


Johnny Rockets

Recommended Posts

So my 36 year old wife and her 3 close friends are really into the Twilight Vampire series thing and they are going to the midnight showing of the movie tomorrow night. It's all the have been taking about recently. I presume that there will be thousands of other near middle age women (and women of other other ages) there as well who are all infatuated with this thing.

Aren't the vampires in the movie/book teenagers and doesn't this qualify all these women as Chris Hansen "Have a seat" predators?

I am considering calling the law on her and having her locked up so I can buy the Corvette and Harley I always wanted and live the bachelor life but wanted to get some opinions before I did.

Thanks as always,

J Rock

I told my wife I was going to the game and wouldn't be home till the morning, looks like my 16 year old will be in charge while she is gone.....no way she is going to miss it. Your kids may be a bit young to leave at home alone though...:D

I saw the movie. I didn't really know what i was getting into, someone compared it to Buffy the Vampire slayer (the show). It was NOTHING like buffy. Terrible movie. Too many awkward moments, boring, slow and the female character is so frakin weak.

I read a bit of my friends book just to see what the hype was all about. they are written very poorly. I just don't get it. But my girlfriends love it, the way they talk about makes me think its girl porn, totally makes them horny for edward.

edit: kind of wish i did get it. I'm running out of things to talk to my girlfriends about. they don't like football or video games and now that there mommies they don't shop much anymore either. I'm slowly lossing them all. :(

    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
