I got busted practicing my "bass dance"...

[Nitzleplick]

Is there an established metric for this? I'm almost afraid to ask -- I might be way higher up the normal curve than I'd like to admit.

Maybe we need to compile a new thread: "Things that score doofus points with the wife" -- with point values to be assigned by the group.

Dooo eeeet

I leave the bass dancing to the professionals.

I lacked your wisdom, some 20 years ago...

Things that score doofus points with the wife

Ordering her a bale of hay when out to dinner.

 

[waynobass]

What kind of wife "busts" you and keeps track of "doofus points"? Is she always so antagonistic?

As her if she would prefer coming home to an empty house instead of to a "goofy" (happy) husband enjoying his music.

I remember working as a head cook at a pizza resturaunt when younger and we had a really crabby boss/owner that didn't tolerate goofing off. The pizza kitchen was downstairs and the deliveries also went out form there. My friend (drummer) was doing deliveries and waiting for a pizza from my kitchen and just to kill time starting air jamming and duck walking with the large pizza spatula (somewhat guitar shaped) to a song on the radio. What he didn't notice is that the boss had come down and was standing behind him while he was really getting down to the song. Very classic look on the bosses face and interesting reaction when my friend realized the boss had been watching for what seemed like minutes. Of course I was busy working. hehe

Not by me, but once there is, I'm sure I'll have the highest score. I'm the dorkiest musician ever.....

I was playing some metal in my living room and getting waaaaaay into it. Power stance, screaming, headbanging, the whole thing. I jumped and did a scissor kick. As I turned around I saw that my dad was home. And he invited the new neighbor's daughter over to meet me. At least she thought it was cute instead of crazy. Still a pretty awkward moment...

This one is good.

"I'm a super star in a super star machine, takin it to the STAAARS!"


classic.

Typical dad move. He's just trying to make sure SmileySixx ain't gay.

(kidding, dude)

My dad tries stuff like that a lot. Actual conversation:

Me: Which do you wanna watch? Next Generation, Voyager, or Enterprise?
Dad: Which one doesn't have a hot actress?
Me: Next Generation.
Dad: Which one has the Vulcan?
Me: Enterprise.
Dad: So Jeri Ryan's on Voyager?
Me: Yeah.
Dad: Eh, the robot thing on her face kinda freaks me out. Turn on Enterprise.

When playing DB, I shift my weight a bit between my feet. That's it.

(song was last resort)

There's your prolem.
