In a good way.
Sigh. Wish that had happened to me.

I did have a really random craving for McDonald's Filet o' Fish once.

Reality of Reality

Is anyone watching the Bravo documentary series the Reality of Reality?

It's very interesting how the producers manipulate what we see.

Statements like this are very frustrating. They call out for first person investigation and verification, but I'd find that investigation so much more interesting if you had used any number of words to describe yourself more interesting than "interesting".

Oh, well, I guess it's beer and, ah, whatever is going on over at Thrashers. But I'm bringing the beer. Meet you there?

Be thankful it isn't flowers or kittens.
This bothers me a lot. Not because I'm worried about some message, but because of the disrespect.

Note 4 U.S.C. Sec. 1 et seq., especially Sec. 8.

Unless, of course, you are looking to disrespect the flag. I'm okay with that. Intentionally making a statement by doing something to a flag is fine; it's the people who can't be bothered to wonder about what they are saying that irritate me.

Alas, no opportunity to investigate. I'm not a big fan of beer or sports, so I will be making other plans.

And, just as a heads up, remember she won't like it if you bring the beer -- as hostess, it is her duty and obligation to supply all food and drink. It would be offensive to bring beer.

Word of advice.
1. If you have scheduled a meeting with people, do not consume the onions that appear on your sandwich/salad. Do not consume anything with the ingredient "pico de gallo."

2. If you accidently consume said onions/pico, for god's sake don't drink any carbonated beverages.

3. If you belch (even silently) in a small room with lots of people and suddenly every needs a drink/bathroom/smoke break - then yes, it's you.

4. Do not make people relive your lunch.

That is all.

Edited to add, that I, personally, never consume onions. I find them offensive in both taste and smell. Especially the second time around (for the smell thing).

Leather, gasoline, dirt and tobacco (like from a crushed up cigarette, not snuff or chew). These were not all the same woman. Pica is apparently quite common among pregnant women.

I once sat in a teleconference with a pregnant attorney who began absentmindly nibbling (but not actually eating) the strap of her Coach briefcase. She kept at it for several minutes until she snapped back to reality and remembered I was there.

Tonight? Baseball and breasticles. All I ask is that nobody block my view of the game with boobies or anything else -- the magic number is 7 and every game counts.

edited to say that since we are coming into the home stretch and my Braves are "guaranteed" to be in the post-season I am suspending many of my rules. You may bring your own beer and food and you may gyzz on the duvet. Just so long as TM understands that the rule about messing with the kitties remains in place.

Word of advice:

Do not make people relive your odor-related experiences with disgusting ill-mannered people.

Unless it is amusing or related to sex.

And even then, leave the odor out of it.

Heartfelt apology

I sent a PM with this apology and then decided it should be public. Earlier today, I failed to have a comeback to someone who implied that with regard to boringosity, I live in a glass house and should not throw stones.

The person to whom I failed to be mean, denigrating and/or insulting was robustpuppy, and I have apologized to her via PM and now publicly.

I would like to thank the person who was kind enough to bring my dereliction of duty to my attention.

While I cannot promise to be as insulting and denigrating as possible in each and every post, be assured that now that I'm aware of the problem, I will be more careful to evaluate posts for appropriate levels of meanspiritedness.

Thank you for your understanding and I hope you can overlook my posting inadequacy.
