I assure you, polygamy is not a laughing matter.

I was kind of nervous that after hosting the month long TV tournament my mind (and posts) would constantly gravitate towards television. During the competition, I turned into a kind of Television Rain Main. Even when Ada got sick, I related it to an episode of House.

One night last week we had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and it made me think of Balki from Perfect Strangers’ homeland of Mypos. (When I was a kid, I used to think Balki was saying he was from Meatballs.) I knew it was bad when I was seeing references to shows from the old TGIF lineup in my dinner. I didn’t know if I would ever be able to turn it off.

Then this morning I got email from a buddy informing me that he and his wife were expecting a second time. And by second time, I mean their second child and the second time he told me about it.

This is that email conversation between my buddy and me. I assure you it is all in jest.

Buddy: I can’t remember if I told you yet but someone matching my description got my wife pregnant...due end of September.

Me: I would kick his tail if I were you. I kid. Yeah man, you told me on the phone a while back but if you need affirmation on your fertility, congratulations again. I will warn you though, two is more than one.

Buddy: You can still run man to man though....I imagine having to switch to zone would be total chaos.

Me: I believe that is when the pros outweigh the cons for polygamy.

Buddy: Princess Leia has been watching Sister Wives, I’m trying to talk her into me getting another wife to do the yard work.

Me: I need another one that knows how to work on cars.

I changed all names to protect the innocent. That means my buddy isn't really married to Princess Leia and his name is not really Buddy. That means it’s not really Buddy Lembeck from Charles in Charge which stinks because it would be kind of awesome if Buddy Lembeck and I were close enough that he emailed me to let me know that he and his wife were expecting.

Dang, back to TV again. My bad.

What 80's television character do you wish you were close enough with they'd email you when they were expecting?
