      I will go on record as saying this next story is absolutely true...

      I was playing Halo 2 the other night, and my wife was looking for some attention. I kept giving her the "1 one more game" excuse for about 45 minutes.

      She proceeded to take my pants off, get me good and hard (you imagine how), and then have sex with me while I played the game.

      I 'finished up' (had to take a few seconds away from Halo)...and she got up, and went into the kitchen. (Sad to say, the whole thing transpired during just one Team Slayer match)

      Then, after the game was over, I said "Umm...hey, how ya doin? Do you want to do anything now?"

      She said "No..I'm fine now, you can play some more"

      Really...and no, she wasn't mad, disappointed, or anything.

      Then again, she really wants to get pregnant...so my video gaming days could be numbered...maybe about 265 left...
