Hello bromigos & girlitos…
First off… No! My girlfriend is NOT giving birth to a tiger. It’s not even her baby shower I’m referencing. She was attending her friend’s shower (human baby), while I watched college football by myself from the comfort of my couch.
Hold your horses and put down the stogies, parents…
Side Note: Notice how parents are the ones that promote having kids (like a sick fraternal hazing ritual that should end, but the former victims still promote it because of the “bounding experience”).
Maybe I’m taking this too far, but you rarely see a happy childless person pressuring people into the benefits of children (a.k.a. “little responsibilities that grow into bigger ones”; a.k.a “chia pet responsibilities”).
This is usually done by parents instead.
Regardless, the girlfriend and I are not planning anything currently.
::cough:: knock on wood ::cough::
Hopefully ever…
At least I’m not planning it, but I’m not completely sure on her thoughts.
Why?
I avoid that conversation, along with any “commitment-related subjects” (like babies, marriage, living together, former girlfriends, love puppies or any real fantasies).
Don’t get me wrong… I’m happy with my relationship, and I was even happier when she reassured me I didn’t have to attend her friend’s baby shower.
I’m never certain on what events I have to attend as “boyfriend” anymore.
It’s always a crapshoot in my opinion.
Call it coincidence, but while I was flipping back-and-forth between games, I saw a full team of great baby names…
They were ALL Memphis Tigers (hence the title), and they beat UCLA because of these great names, which were my keys to victory.

First, Memphis tight end Joey Magnifico grabbed my attention with a touchdown. It’s the type of name that belongs in the endzone.
Offensive lineman Tauvaga Ho Ching II has a solid name, along with defensive backs Christian Slaughter and Sanchez Blake Jr. I also like linebacker Hayden Ferrari. The Memphis names are generally led by senior running back Doroland Dorceus, but he was out for the UCLA game.
These are all great baby names, and I wonder if any of these came up during the shower my girlfriend attended.
I would ask, but you know… I can’t.
It falls into those “commitment-related subjects.”
Mum’s the word.
