TDNCY

In 2003, a few of my Purdue buddies went to Madison to watch Purdue play the University of Wisconsin. Purdue, in an unbelievable game, ended up beating top 10 Wisconsin, 26-23. It was unreal. That night, we danced on the streets in Madison, singing the Purdue fight song, flirting with cute girls. My one friend Dustin, at one point in the night, turned to me and said “I feel so bad for my future wife…because I will never love her as much as I love Purdue football.” All I could muster was “I don’t think I’ll ever tell her either.”

That was close to six years ago.

Today, as I pulled out of a Dunkin’ Donuts in downtown Boston, with my large, hazelnut coffee [with milk and sugar, of course] and my old fashioned donut, I was in a great mood. I took a bite of the donut, I took a sip of the coffee. And the donut melted in my mouth. It was heaven. And that’s when I remembered Dustin, and his line, and my thought. And I realized, at that point, I would love a Dunkin’ Donuts old fashioned donut with the coffee more than I will love my future wife. If my wife ever made me choose between her and the number 1 from Dunkin’ Donuts, she’d better have her bags packed and ready to go.

And so I started thinking…what are some other things that I will love more than my wife?

I ended up with this list.

SPORTS RELATED
-Drew Brees’ right arm, along with Seth Morales’ hands. Any Purdue fan could tell you why, but in case you don’t know, here.
-Purdue basketball under Matt Painter. And the best is yet to come, folks.
-Curt Schilling’s bloody sock. Curt was bloody brilliant.

FOOD RELATED
-Dunkin Donuts number 1, with a hazelnut coffee and an old fashioned donut. [previously stated]
-Any type of food from Panda Express.
-A Reese’s Penut Butter Cup blizzard from Dairy Queen.

OTHER
-Anything related to LucasArt’s Monkey Island series. I feel kinda weird that I am going to love a cartoon male character that is a terrible pirate more than I will love my future wife. Alas, such is life.

-Anything Harry Potter related. Just incredible. Incredible. There aren’t words.
-uhhh…who didn’t see this one coming.

I’m sure there’s more. Maybe we can discuss this and figure out some new ones.

I just hope my future wife doesn’t see this.
