I loved the Thrashers before Dany, I love them now and will love them when he comes back. Nope, the joy meter remains high. The Thrashers are getting better each year.

Did all of the blood tests come back? Weren't they supposed to take weeks?

Mrs. Wonk and I have been invited, along with the rest of our group and their guests, to enjoy dinner, an evening at the theater, and the night in a hotel downtown, as a reward for a particularly hairy project we completed last year.

Mrs. Wonk has a thing about leaving the monsters overnight and is making it pretty clear that she won't go, or if she does it will be under duress and my life will be Hell for the foreseeable future.

On the other hand, I don't want to appear the aloof, antisocial wage slave. Thus, I feel some pressure to go, with or without my (ahem) "beloved" wife.

Thoughts, advice, ridicule and scorn?

Suggest that there's a nice associate (Arpy?) willing to accompany you and she'll change her tune.

Well if that's a request to receive more stupid shit, then remember, you asked for it. And you know, I have a warehouse full of stupid shit.
If, however, this was the opportunity you've waited for all day (probably all week) to use the word banalpalooza then woo hoo, let's here it for you.
Any other insulting vicious comments should be aimed at RT, who is admittedly bored and could probably use an argument with a mental midget to brighten her day.
You're going to miss me when I'm gone.

Nah. Too lazy. Sometimes it's fun just to pull the legs off the bug in the cup.

Escort service switcheroo? Have the other members of your group ever met "Mrs. Wonk"?

Ridicule and scorn is a wonderful thing for a Friday afternoon, so thank you Mr. Wonk.

Unfortunately, yes. On the other hand, the hotel we're staying at is the W Lakeshore, so there may be some local talent in the bar....

Don't know what your zookeeper situation is like (or the age of the monsters), but one possibility could be for the keeper to keep the monsters at the hotel until dinner and theater are complete.

The minibar will be the worse for wear, but the wife will get the presence of the monsters at the end of the night, and at least you'll appear less aloof than usual.

Try Flax Art (spree: art / design store), they have some interesting stuff. Check the "archival paper albums" in addition to the leather and photo albums. Prices range from $16 to $695.

I dont understand why you cant get an overnight babysitter. I think my parents inflicted this upon us fairly regularly on their seventies business trips to caesars in vegas. Mrs Bradly drove an VW bug and we werent allowed in it bc the engine was in the back. She was a fucking cunt, but at least my parents could go out and party and have a night off.

Yes, we know. Why do you feel the need to keep proving it?
