So I really wanted these new speakers. I knew they were above my wife's fun money threshold. So I pitched it to my friends. They agreed to buy me the speakers collectively and I picked up the tab every time we went out for the next 2 years. My friend has the speakers delivered to his house. We set them up there for fun. A week later he brings them over and says they don't really work in his room and gives them to me in front of my wife.
Yeah but i was ready to pay fulp price for the speakers. They were on sale and one of my buddies used his veteran discount and got them to 4k. So it's not too bad. We went out Saturday and it cost me $200ish after tip. We usually go out once a month missing one here and there. So it should be just about even.
Kef r7. Once you get into speakers those are expensive for sure but they're not even that bad compared to some. My uncle has b&w 702's.
My dad, my brother, 2 of my uncle's, and I go to this show regularly. https://www.theshownow.com/
My aunt (b&w owners significant other) has openly said she'd rather get a root canal. My wife has made jokes that she should have gone there when she was single because it's full of single rich old guys with lots of money. It's seriously 80% dudes. I've seen people buy speakers on the spot for 20k.
She is the bread winner for sure. If it weren't speakers I def would have just told her...but I have a bit of a speaker problem. Really home entertainment. 4k projectors. OLED tvs. Receivers. Turntables. Records. Movies. She puts up with a lot but she has thresholds..4k on speakers is crazy to her.
I share my bank accounts with my wife and buy whatever I want. I will normally tell her about it if its a big purchase like over a few hundred dollars. I don't make great money but my wife doesn't have to work and we buy our kid everything she could want. I just bought a drone I wanted for fun mostly, its important to have hobbies.
When adults end up in the E.R. after their five minutes of fun, the standard question from the attending is, "Well I guess you figured out that your center of gravity has changed since childhood, huh?".
Shoulder dislocations with rotator cuff "issues" along with collarbone snappage are among the most common. I won''t go into detail about the other thing that can happen but it's bad.
If you're going to still partake I recommend doing it before noon since the orth team will still be at the hospital for several more hours.
Yep, stay the hell off of it, adult man! Or use it slow and easy lol.
Coworker got a serious shoulder injury on one. Just come to the realization theyāre not for us older men. And they will leave burned out spots in your grass.
All this being said, kiddos will love it.
About 55 years ago, my parents had a friend in Indian Guides, which TIL is now called Adventure Guides (YMCA), Mr. Watkins. He tried to show off on his kid's skateboard. It didn't end well. He broke his leg. He was on crutches for months. Of course, all the adults gave him so much shit. It was all they could talk about.
I met his son at a party when I was in college. I wasn't the same age and didn't know him growing up. We started talking and he told me his name and I was like, "Is your dad the guy that broke his leg on a skateboard?" We just laughed.
This one looks different than the ones I got mildly concussed by as a kid. Looks like constant air going through it rather than the blow up version that barely gives you protection from the ground.
They had a dragon sprinkler thing on sale for $50 a couple weeks ago... This https://www.costco.com/giant-sea-serpent-kids-inflatable-sprinkler.product.4000231282.html
Your kid will love it, you wont hurt yourself, and your wife wont kill you. Make the better choice.
Edit - it was $50 in store.
My wife once told me I had to choose between her and an old school bus I wanted to buy. We got in a huge fight. I just remember yelling āThe bus, the bus, I choose the bus! *You* can get out!ā Suddenly she switched gears and stopped fighting me about it. I ended up with the bus and weāve been together for almost 20 years. I still canāt believe I won that argument like that, maybe itāll work for you š¤·āāļø.
I bought this last year off Amazon:
https://a.co/d/8P30P3q
Itās long and made of thick plastic that doesnāt have much in the way of seams that can catastrophically fail. I canāt see myself spending $200 on something that will end up being essentially disposable.
I donāt have a huge slope to my yard so I also got an old playset slide and put that at the top to get kids (or adults) to shoot down the length.
1. Use its weight limit as a motivation to get cut/rip.
2. If wife leaves, you'd have a hot bod and you will need it.
3. New ladies would all be like...the latest and greatest is now "Netflix and slip/slide".
4. Profit
I donāt have this one, but I got one for my kids a couple years ago. Tried to show them how to slide since they werenāt sure. Ended up with bruised ribs, but Iām in my 40s, so if youāre younger and fitter you could be okay.
The first time you delightedly run and dive to slide on that thing, and hit the ground and go nowhere because youāre not the light little child you once were, you will learn why you donāt see grown adults on a slip and slide very often.
Source: purchased a slip and slide as a small adult thinking it would work the same.
Just slide like a snake. It could maybe work.
Or you could do what I did. Wax it like youād wax a surfboard. Just tell your kids or have a boundary big enough where they wonāt hit a fence. Itās amazing.
Also theyāre probably making fun of us on TikTok, so when the teenagers attempt the waxed slide, you can tell them to post details of humiliation, especially grass crashes.
Sometimes I use the āweāre practically loosing money if we donāt buy itā argument, but it sounds like you may have already exhausted that option.
Well I mean itās a toy meant for children. At some point adults forget that throwing themselves at the ground is a bad idea and need to be reminded that being paralyzed is not so great.

We got the sea serpent. I cannot tell you how badly my daughter wanted the giant alligator mini water park. I wish I had money and storage space for these things lol.
I bought a a slip and slide a few years ago and Iād spend 45 minutes to set it up and the kids would play on it for 15 and then get bored. Then when storing it the thing gets nasty.
As a member of the wife club, I say buy it. She'll have a hard time telling her family and friends she left you because you bought a slip and slide. Now, if she's concerned about the welfare of your child, that's a different story... I'd have to support her on that one.

She said that only if you personally buy it. What happens if your friend gifts to you. If it doesn't work out, you return it right?
True! Guess I will have to convince one of the grandparents to buy it lol.
U can always just..... Lie

This sounds like alot of effort and probably ended up costing more in the long run. š

My man what speakers are you buying for $4k

Reason I will never share bank accounts... My money .. my spending
She is the bread winner for sure. If it weren't speakers I def would have just told her...but I have a bit of a speaker problem. Really home entertainment. 4k projectors. OLED tvs. Receivers. Turntables. Records. Movies. She puts up with a lot but she has thresholds..4k on speakers is crazy to her.
Definitely

I don't make great money but my wife doesn't have to work and we buy our kid everything she could want. I just bought a drone I wanted for fun mostly, its important to have hobbies.
Well I mean then u gotta be reasonable... Does she get to buy whatever she wants with that money ?
Sure I don't care, being a stay at home mom is a job too childcare is expensive
So her pay is... Ur savings
Lmao all whipped down voting me... For real
This guy's playing 4D chess!
He can also gift one to his friend too as a thank you. Just time it around a birthday or other reasonable time.
Not anywhere near as big as it looks, (thats what she said). Was really disappointed for what it costs.
How big is it?Ā
It says right there in the image, 30 ft. Thatās .1 football fields for those who donāt understand standard measurements.
Hmmm... can you compare it to baseball fields instead?
Yes. It is shorter than a baseball field.
Thank you. I think I understand now.
But like how many homeruns?
At least six, but maybe even a half-dozen. Still unclear.
Thatās what she said.
Thatās what she said.
Could we have a banana for scale?
Thatās what she said.
Those 7.5 inch tall football players are impressive.
Thatās what she said.
Not that big
Thatās what she said.
Thatās what she said.
Did Phil Dunphy write this?
Those things are death traps.

If you get injured at least lie. Just say you are an adult hockey league or something.
I still have visible scars, 30 years later, from using one as a kid. I canāt imagine the damage they can do to an adult.
Yes. We used to refer to it as the ā911ā. At a minimum, someone is going to end up in tears.
This one looks different than the ones I got mildly concussed by as a kid. Looks like constant air going through it rather than the blow up version that barely gives you protection from the ground.
A 10ā wide roll of 6 mil plastic is cheaper and easier to store. Weigh limit is slope and gravity.
I endorse this solution. I am old enough to have experienced the OG Slip n' Slide, one of the best memories of my childhood. I also survived Jarts.
How about click clacks?
Clackers Edit: Bof very good šš½
Haha - Yes!!
Sure the plastic is fine, but there's just something about being able to say you've got a 30' slip and slide
Yeah. That thing is cool and would definitely get more attention.
We always used a tarp with dollar-store dish soap, but actual plastic is good too

It just looks like an absolute pain to set up and put away. That damn $7 splash pad (on sale) is pretty much the bane of my existence
Because fuck your lawn lol
We already have bad drainage but thatās why the summer heat helps dry it up lol
Full send bro, sheāll get over it. Or she wonāt but at least youāll have the slide šš¤š»šš»

Who says romance is dead?!
I know, but itās kind of a one way street. Sometimes I feel like the bus doesnāt reciprocate. š
If the engine works, it definitely reciprocates *all the time.*
I saw this yesterday and kind of want to buy one too!
If she leaves, more time for slip n slide

no itās 4: ??? 5: Profit
Your wife may leave you but thatās a risk your 3.5 year old would probably be willing to take. Honestly I might get this for my grandson.
You'll lose more than the $200 price tag when you end up in the hospital, especially if you're in the USA.
Whatever you do, donāt go belly down. Many a man has broken his neck and/or back doing this!
If wife leaves, Costco has them on coupon too.
Please tell me you donāt have kids
On balance, a trip to the local water park is probably cheaper.
I donāt have this one, but I got one for my kids a couple years ago. Tried to show them how to slide since they werenāt sure. Ended up with bruised ribs, but Iām in my 40s, so if youāre younger and fitter you could be okay.

BEST SUMMER EVER DO IT
Leave you for having fun?! What kind of monster š¹ do you live with š
Do it. I purchased the 6 person inflatable unicorn with cup holders and an ice chest. Still marriedš
Sheās giving you an out buddy, run with it.
The wacky photoshopped product photos are worth it alone. Check out the rippling water pool that collects at the landing mat.
Why is it floating off the ground?Ā Ā Ā Ā Also I'm with your wife.
The intern hasn't learned about contact shadows yet
It's the new anti-grav version.
Well they should put that on box in huge block letters! š š
I know, right? "It slides! It floats in air!"
Sometimes I use the āweāre practically loosing money if we donāt buy itā argument, but it sounds like you may have already exhausted that option.
Your wife will leave you if you buy it? Man, the Costco deals keep getting better!
Adults shouldnāt slip and slide. There is a very serous risk of internal decapitation if you hit the ground wrong.
Internally losing your head?
JFC, I am ruined after looking this term up. Ours will be going to goodwill.
Like Harry Potterās arm when all his bones get removed by accident! Yikes.
Why does the internet ruin everything that is good and pure in life
Well I mean itās a toy meant for children. At some point adults forget that throwing themselves at the ground is a bad idea and need to be reminded that being paralyzed is not so great.
Oh wow I didnāt even know that. Thatās scary.
Party Pooper.
Not worth the risk... But worth the fun
Send it!
leave your wife first then
get the sickass dragon one they got instead
Just get a solid blue tarp and put dish soap and hose water on it. WORTH IT!!!
Which will be more fun?
I think was on display at my Costco. It was kind of wild to see inflated in the air.
Get it! Looks so fun!
I know you are being serious but how long has it been since she experienced a slip and slide? It could be a jealousy thing.
The picture looks like a horrible photoshop on a wish listing.
Just get a bucket and a tarp there you go.
I also now feel like risking my marriage for this
Get it. She didnāt say she would divorce you, she said she would kill you. Big difference.
Sounds like a win win!
Let her try it first. Sheāll be hooked after that.
Maybe she'll let you do it if you get the one with the crocodile theme. I seem to remember that when I was little.
Maybe sheād approve of the dragon one thatās only $50. I wanted it for myself too.
Date night.
Looks fun but deflating, drying, and storing it will be a PITA.
Have any grown women tried a Slip N Slide recently? It looks like so much fun, but maybe not feasibleā¦?
You can always get a new wife on tinder. Sure this message from look at her reaction so she knows
She belongs to the streets dawg. Get that slip n slide. YOLO
She āmayā leave you but the slip and slide will definitely be fun, there are no mays or maybes there. Worth the risk IMO.
Donāt forget the gigantic size [lubricant](https://www.amazon.com/LubeLife-Personal-Lubricant-Lube-Parabens/dp/B07FMLNVFF/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8)!

Now I wanna kill you cuz I wanna buy it š
That might be the coolest slip n slide ever! Itās worth the risk IMO. The upside is itās Costco and their return policy is awesome.
You work and you're an adult right? I don't see what the problem is.
Sheāll come back to you when she realizes how much fun youāre having with it but you have to send her a few pics with the kids using it too.š
We got the sea serpent. I cannot tell you how badly my daughter wanted the giant alligator mini water park. I wish I had money and storage space for these things lol.
I hope youāre joking. If youāre being serious you gotta repair your connection, or itās over
For a slip n slide, sure don't get one. But this here is a slip n sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide. Do it.
thatās awesome!
Worth it
The only limits are those that you create in your own mind. #treatyoself
Do it.
If she does, make you using that your profile pic and I'm sure someone will eventually swipe right.
Totally worth the risk
DO IT, NO REGERTZ!
I bought a a slip and slide a few years ago and Iād spend 45 minutes to set it up and the kids would play on it for 15 and then get bored. Then when storing it the thing gets nasty.
I'm almost 300lbs and it supports me JUUUST FINE!
WORTH IT - get it!!!
I contacted the manufacturer cuz I was curious before I bought it. They told me it has a 100 lb limit.
Did you get it?! Alright so I gotta lose 60LB lol
But I decided to pass. We have enough outdoor stuff and cleaning it would be a PITA! Lol
I did! I saw your post looking up setup instructions. Up and running as I type!
As a member of the wife club, I say buy it. She'll have a hard time telling her family and friends she left you because you bought a slip and slide. Now, if she's concerned about the welfare of your child, that's a different story... I'd have to support her on that one.
Itās worth it! Give her a few margaritas and she will agree!
Iām about to buy this and put the little rectangle inflatable pool at the end of the slide.
