(Actually, if I thought that would do it, I would have had him look - ba-dum-bum - tsssss.)

It's just so, um, unlike what it usually looks like (if the video I saw was any indication....), I guess there was some concern on my part that he wouldn't really think of "it" in the same way anymore.

Add to that my mother-in-law's wholehearted approval of my approach (additional fact -- her husband is an OB-GYN), I figured I wasn't too far afield with my concern.

I am convinced that overweight (or "fat") people are behind the annoying practice of the office birthday "party." Who else would want birthday cake 50 times a year? I've always thought birthday celebrations were a little silly anyway. What your really saying is, "Congratulations. You were born and you haven't died yet." Why would I want to mark such a silly occasion with work "friends" while standing around uncomfortably around the giant cookie. Look, people, I'm not your friend, they pay me to be with you.

So what? If you're obligated to artificially play nice with all these random people anyway, why shouldn't they make it a little more palatable by feeding you cake?

Except it should be really good cake.

What do you have against giant frosted cookies? They're yummy! Loaded with transfats, I'm sure, but YUM-MY!

What do serve at your office birthdays? Slab of tofu topped with sprouts? Pulled pork? Sheesh.

Yeah! No more stinking carrot cake or that damned German chocolate crap. Nuts and coconut should not be in/on cake.
Chocolate. Plain and simple.

If the "frosting" tastes like bleach, I'll pass.

I don't mind playing nice for work-related reasons. I just don't see why should be forced to observe yet another milestone of my slow descent into the gaping maw with them. Just because they want cake.

It hardly ever is. Fat people aren't very discerning about cake.

No, the mutual friend who introduced us told me that's what she did (and not in front of her, so I couldn't interrogate "The Voice").

What can I say? I like asparagus.

To the contrary - I think fat people are likely more appreciative of good food than are thin people.

So PJ, what's the deal with the new purses? Most of the purses I saw, in stores, this weekend were shaped like enlarged hot dogs, with straps.

There was a guy in the Gucci store coveting this one. I think it was the last one on earth - he had his wife on the cell phone describing it to her. Good husband.

In addition, I saw hundreds of those stupid Louis Vuitton white purses with rainbow LV this weekend. PLUS, hundreds more knockoffs. Why anyone would knock off this hideous thing is beyond me.

MY question, PJ, is should I now go out and buy a hotdog purse in order to be "in" with the fall fashion?

The term "Paigow" is synonymous with "Really Shitty." If you've got no ace, no pair, no straight, no flush, you've got paigow. Everyone always roots for the dealer to have paigow, so the whole table wins.

Actually, the term pai gow means "flush it" in Chinese. I know this bc I am really a rice daddy. No offense, atticus.

I had no idea you and Wanker worked together. My condolences, and I'd really caution against eating anything if that's your fear.

Now I get the name change.

My God, I am a dumbass.

I don't like to go down this (overweight v. thin) road, but I am reasonably thin and I love good food. Especially good cheese (and cake). I think I appreciate it just as much as anyone. Taste buds are taste buds, right?
