You can't write headlines much weirder than that, but it is not in dispute that Keith Wiens, a retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, shot and killed his common-law wife after she demanded that he pay up—in foreplay, evidently—for losing to her in a Wii game.
Wiens told a jury in British Columbia that he acted in self defense on that night in August 2011, and that his wife, Lynn Kalmring, attacked him with a knife. The two had had a rapidly escalating argument since getting drunk and playing Wii and making wagers "of a sexual nature," on the games.
When Wiens went upstairs to go to bed after playing the console, he found sex toys on his pillow. He brushed them aside, saying he needed to rest up for a round of golf the next day. "He said Kalmring became upset when she saw that he was not in the mood to settle the bet," reports the Penticton Western News.
Kalmring then broke out that no-win accusation: "You're not attracted to me, are you," and though Wiens said he assured her he was, he was just tired, the argument dissolved into an expletive-filled tirade. He said his wife left the bedroom, returned with a knife and rushed him; Wiens had already armed himself with a pistol he kept in his bedside table, saying he feared for his life. He shot her once in the head.
A forensic pathologist earlier testified that he believed a knife police found in Kalmring's hand had been placed there after her death, reasoning she would have dropped it when she was shot.

Hoo Booie!
She looks like the kind of bruiser that when she wants to do ya, she does ya!
And don’t say no, she’ll slap the stuffings outta you till she gets her way.
Cloths pins are kinda fun too.
This thread is going to degenerate faster than a speeding vibrator.
This thread hit the bottom of the barrel and went right through.
Women love hairy pot bellies pretty much more than anything.
LOL,
Oh Man, you got that right.
If this would have been posted on a weekday, I cringe to think what would have popped up.
That is very good!
To be honest, I figured this thread would get zotted before I had a chance to ping it.
Good choice - more honest.
Ladies, here I am!
She just wanted him to “mountie” her.
...and he told her to get stuffed.
Its the weekend, the “B” team is moderating!!
Like “call in Friday” today you can get all the FEeebies you want!
(Now watch, I’ll get banned.)
Those aren’t RCMP. They’re Vermont’s finest.
Me too.
Golf or sex? Have to think about that one.
Looking back, I think I've been "too tired" perhaps once or twice in 40 years.
That's the part I don't understand. Wouldn't HE be the "mounter" and SHE would be the "mountie"?
According to Wiens, this was the first fight that the couple ever had.
But the prosecution and experts found faults in Wiens testimony.
First of all, it wasn't the first fight.
Crown counselor Colin Forsyth pointed out that they had been in an argument before when Wiens stopped Kalmring from breaking into Willie Nelson's dressing room at a concert and flashing her breasts.
