Who wants to compete for weirdest DH?
Last night, DH and I went to or called every store in town to see if they carried RLR. No one does, but I grabbed a box of Borax while we were out. DH sees that and says, "That sounds like some Roman gladiator name, 'All Hail Borax!'" For the rest of the night, he was talking about being like Borax, strong and powerful...
Yeah, I love my husband, but I definitely have the weirdest one ever!

Re: Who wants to compete for weirdest DH?
NO way. I totally win.
My husband is what you might consider a minimalist. He won't let me buy any "stuff". But, the things that he considers "stuff" are like, lamps, furniture, etc. So, all of DS's toys are currently stored in random laundry baskets and things because he won't let me buy a toy storage solution. Cuz a toy storage solution is "stuff" and he doesn't want any "stuff".
He also has "policies" on everything. He's constantly telling my daughter what the "policy" is on things like the night light which he INSISTS on keeping in the bathroom. He has a policy for how many bottles of shampoo/conditioner/body wash can be in the shower at one time.
What else...I don't know. He's definitely weird.
My DH has ghost hunting equipment. 'Nuff said.
*ETA - Once we were playing Scattegories and the letter was O. For the category "Something with a tail" he listed "Oyster". Didn't you all know that oysters have tails?
I don't know if this story puts me in the running, but once, when we were playing scrabble with a few friends, my DH (who is relatively intelligent) turned to me and said "Is Doeg a word, you know - D-O-G, Doeg?" Needless to say, we were in stitches.
He also rides a Vespa, and with is helmet (which he picked out to match his vespa, TYVM) he kind of looks like a cross between PeeWee Herman and the Wicked Witch of the West. He sits up so straight and proper... I wonder what the Harley men think...
Ohhh... Dobie, you may have just won my vote...
Is your house haunted?
You would have to ask Brandon. I made him swear to me that he would never tell me if any of his little sensors, gadgets, and whatnot went off in the house. If there are ghosts there, they aren't bothering me, so I'll just continue to be blissfully ignorant!
CRAP! I forgot about the oyster tails and ghost hunting equipment! DANG IT.
Are you two married to the same man!?!? That makes him doubly weird (although at least he has good taste!)
Dobie - good call on the refusing to know. Very smart.
He called me this afternoon telling me he did a wonderful thing for a friend: He kept him from having to drink excessive amounts of beer, by going to the redemption center and buying 10 cases of empty beer bottles (at 5c each).
DH and this friend are homebrewers and they're always in need of bottles. While the situation is more weird than anything, it was the absolute excitement in his voice that he managed to get empty beer bottles for cheap: He and his friend then dubbed themselves (while on the phone with me) as the "Beer Nerds". I was laughing pretty hard...and this is entirely in character for him.
I guess it's green that he's recycling someone elses bottles rather than buying new (he does thoroughly sanitize all his bottles before filling).
haha ... No, we've just known each other foreeeeeeeeeever so we know all about each others' hubbies' weirdnesses. Cole forgot that I pack the "My husband hunts ghosts and thinks oysters have tails" trump card.
The whole Vespa thing just entirely reminds me of "Massimo" from "The Wedding Planner".
For some reason ever since we've been dating DH has affectionately called me "Shelly" My name is not Shelly I don't care how you want to spin Michelle it's not Shelly It's like his name for me at first I thought he had his women confused and got pissed but it's his term for me like baby or honey he calls me Shelly he's a weird one...
Now this shows how much of a dork he his...
appartenly the guys at work were doing the "that's what she said" bit well he doesn't get it so at the oddest times he says "that's not what she said" WTH! honey
Sadly, I've never seen that movie... Maybe I should check it out...
My husband is awesome and always cracks me up, but many people find him utterly wacko.
He's a yoga instructor, which gets enough reactions in certain circles, but he has this thing called Tree Yoga which is like some mountain climbing straps jimmy-rigged together, doing sort of what we all did to make 2 gummy bracelets one back in the '80s (that loop together thing). Well he carries it around in a backpack EVERYWHERE. He keeps it in his car, will move it to the stroller, etc. And he will hang upside down from it on swingsets, trees in public parks, trees in parking lots (like if he has to wait for me to get out of a meeting somewhere), people's backyards at cookouts...
Oh, and one time pre-PG we had a Sunday where we played drinking games to a marathon of "Who Wants to be a Superhero" from the FOX reality channel and now every time we finish one another's sentences, get one another's personal jokes, etc, he clashes his wedding ring against mine and screams, 'EXCELSIOR!!!" He did this once at a wedding reception, once at a funeral...
Ladies...nice try. But I'm the one who has not one, but TWO, full size arcade cabinets in the garage that he is turning into gaming machines.
Oy vey!
Points for hanging upside down in people's backyards and doing the Excelsior thing at a funeral... *chuckle* My DH is looking almost sane!
Would he be interested in an apple 2E? I'm sure DH wouldn't notice if I just *happened* to accidentally ship it off somewhere... He says it's the.best.gaming.ever... He hasn't touched it in two years except to dust it, but heck, what do I know!
Mine has a PhD in philosophy and literature. Yet while making dinner the first year we were married, he asked me why the chicken breasts didn't have nipples on them.
And when I stared at him long enough, he went "oooooooohhhhhh, they're SKINLESS."
And the didn't understand why I just about collapsed laughing.
He also named our dog Yoda. When he was a child. As in "when I grow up, I'm going to name my dog Yoda." and then I had to go along with it because she was his birthday present.
He doesn't have ghost hunting equipment, though. Can he have points for teaching at the same school that the Paranormal State people got their degrees from?

Bwahahaha! Love it!
Ah, but MH has an apple 2E clone in the basement. I refer to that area as our computer library. We have computers in various stages of components from various time periods. We are never allowed to discuss getting rid of them to gain storage space. And yet, they are never used.
Certainly. I will tell DH. He will be impressed. That's like, six degrees of separation from ghost hunting fame!
AND his nurse when he was in the heart hospital was actually a featured case on teh tv show. She was the sweetest person in the world.

My Dh plays D&D and he last character was a Southern Belle. I have no idea why. But, he spoke with a lady's southern accent when he played her. I try to stay out of the D&D things, but when I walked downstairs when they were playing and I heard him, I about spit my drink all over his friends.
It is my ultimate trump card when we are comparing odd hobbies, and he agrees.
Oh...he's got all the parts for them too. He's busy getting the stuff set to install. It's a blast!
'nuff said, TYVM.
:::SLAMS DOWN TRUMP CARD:::
MINE plays with model trains. And not the kind in a circle. No. His is modeled after a real line, complete with swtchbacks.
The "layout" takes up our 3rd floor (that's 1 kitchen, 2/3 bedrooms, & a hallway).
I WIN!
::hangs head from the shame of utter failure::
Sounds like our garage! And he claims he needs everything "just in case"!
