The TUIMMALB was the preliminary. I was expecting a deluge of the "if you love something set it free" type crap, whereupon a full TUAOM* would occur.

Wait. Isn't that your philosophy?

God, no. He doesn't do that. On those rare occasions when we do go out to dinner (for example), he never wants to have to look at the price of anything, or not order something because it's too expensive, as he feels that lessens the pleasure of the experience. However, spending large amounts of money on anything that isn't golf clubs or a car LITERALLY gives him the shakes.

So, to tie this all in with lying, I shop for myself and have my goods sent to my barn out-of-state, so that I never come home with shopping bags. If he sees comments that something looks new, I say, "What, this old thing?" (to which he responds, "dtb, don't even try that on me -- I invented that trick...".

So, in his heart of hearts, he knows I spend money on things he would consider frivolous, but he'd rather not know.

I'm the family accountant because he would freak out when he saw a grocery bill for $90. It just makes him panicky. He has issues.

C'mon - the whole "this job sux, somebody find me a new career where I don't have to whore myself and hide from my salemen buds" thing is too subtle?

Is subtle the ironic of 2004?

Stop setting up the secret meetings with her then. Your wife will get suspicious at some point.

No. Now go home.

It seems like almost every online version of a publication has an ad for an online personals ad company, in which there is a sample picture and some little factoid about the sample person. This is generally meant to be alluring and convince you that all sorts of sexy, non-sociopathic people use online personals services. The one that I just saw has a picture of a guy, below which reads the following:

"More about what I am looking for: 'Can define anthropomorphism and its significance in the metaphysics of a religious discussion.'"

3 points:

1. Atticus, you are not a bad looking guy. And, unsurprisingly, not a bad dresser.

2. I am terrified to think about the type of women you are going to attract with that ad.

3. Get a hold of yourself, man. This is a risky game you are playing. Does your wife not use the computer? You are sure to get caught, and you are going to have to come up with something a lot better than some sorry ass circus-in-town excuse to get out of this one.

I'm separated, so it's okay.

(And no, that isn't why we're not together anymore.)

whatever happened to his BlowJob Experiment in Vegas? I bet he could make bank selling tix to taht. And str8 could buy em all up and charge double! Really screw the diehard Sebheads. Its win win. Maybe Cooters could cater?

To tie a couple of threads, when I read posts like this the unavoidable phrase that appears in the mind's eye is "inside baseball." There's so much here, I think it ceased to be English.

I think only about a dozen or two people really follow this, and I am one of them only on occasion.

That is all.

Do I need to watch this now to find out if I have been subtly or unsubtly ridiculed, or will you let me know? I don't do reality TV metaphors.

Well the guy is gone, so you can't see him. He was a big dumb chubby guy. Really he reminded me of Ty, but that would have been cruel.

When one of the chix kept dragging her hands along the marble in the entrance-way, I fully expected a midget to emerge from the wall behind her to polish it up.

Now, I don't know how shitty and little your aparment is, but unless really shitty and little, I'd agree. It's fine to spend the money on views and a space. But, shit, he's proven that you can't buy taste. classé it is not.

How smart is the one girl who asked Trump's girlfriend how she keeps such a big place clean? A fucking maid answered the door.

Oh, I'd vote for that proposition, too. The only difficulty is convincing anyone else.

FYI, I quite liked the Apprentice. I watched only because I, for some peverse reason, really wanted to see the Donald fire someone. Not sure why, but I really, really did. It was slightly more than moderately interesting.

spoilers...



I also really enjoyed Trump telling that one guy to shut up - the "you're trying to impress me, asshole, you don't interrupt me to tell me to let you finish your thought" thing. Pretty fucking funny. What dickheads. I was rather surprised the women made more money, since they seemed much, much more dysfunctional as a group. T&A really must have carried the day, there. Anyhow, the whole set up reminds me of Huxley's description of the experiment of making everyone an alpha in Brave New World - no one wanted to take out the garbage so they all killed each other. This could produce some entertaining TV.

My brother just emailed me from his blackberry:

"Pete Rose is on my flight from NY to LA."

I suspect he's throwing back a cocktail or two after the week he's had.
