So as you may recall, a while ago I went out to dinner with a friend of mine that was returning from fighting in Iraq.

Blah Blah Blah.

What is the appropriate way to respond to this to respectfully relay that the feeling is unrequited but not be offensive? Do I simply ignore it? Remind him that I have a boyfriend? I really don't want to alienate him, but these messages just aren't appropriate. I'm probably a stupid fuck for not running after an attractice rich man with lots of boats who is professing undying love for me, but he probably has some strange peeing fetish and presently I'm happy with my playboy-loving boyfriend.

Your advice and snide comments would be greatly appreciated.

Have you never had to tell someone you weren't interested in them before? It is really not that hard. In this case, its absurdly easy.

You simply say "Sugar, timing is everything. I can't say what might have been, but I do know that I am in love with Mr. Bunny now, and that's not going to change. I do hope you and I can remain friends though, as I truly treasure the time we spend together."

Yes I have. I think theprofession of affections lost context not having posted the actual email message to read. I sent it to Flower and he composed a lovely flower-like message which I promptly sent back in response. I love the Flower. I think I'm going to send him an email professing my love. Honestly, you are too true about timing...because if I had met the Flower before Mrs. Flower, I would have moved to the patch and tuned up his bikes for the rest of his life.

15. Crash Test Dummies - Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm
Why so much hatred for this song? They're Canadian for Chrissakes.

7. Eddie Murphy, "Party All the Time"
Well this is just obvious.

This list-compiler obviously never heard Brad Roberts in an intimate venue. His voice is so sexy it makes you want to jump into his mouth and slide down his throat and set up house somewhere in his stomach. mmm mmmm indeed.

How can one dislike Party all the time? It's only got about 10 words and is eminently singable. I sing it to my cat a lot.

Translation: I know Flower in real life.

Speaking of getting drunk, Mr. Bunnyman, who was away this weekend golfing with his high school buddies reported to me (he called me during what was probably 5 minutes of sobriety) to report that he had won a $700 bet that he couldn't drink a pitcher of Guiness in 5 minutes. All i have to say is this: someone has to be really stOOpid to think it's worth $700 to see a guy drink a pitcher of guiness. I get a cut of all betting proceeds, so I'm quite happy with the stupidity, but come on folks!

I love feats of strength/stupidity. It reminds me of Festivus.

This stuff happens on golf trips with the guys. We turn into 15-year olds with a 30-year old's paycheck - not a good combo. Especially if there's a BYOB strip club...

So, I open up the NYT's Women's Sports Section yesterday, and I'm confronted with this:

GWNK, how was your trip to Texas; and NCS, glad to see you settled on a chaise longue.

Well, duh, I would have to meet him to bang him, stupid. I know you in real life too. Can I have a cookie?

Who is that lady? I want to save this picture for when I get a nose job to show them what not to do.

Whifflation: You know me in real life.

New Rule: dont refer to your knowledge of me IRL here. ITs embarrassing.

So he wanted to go out to dinner. I went. I happened to mention a restaurant that I loved while we were at dinner and he wanted to try it, so about a month later we went out to dinner there. at some point afterward he sent some email suggesting that he'd wished we hadn't petered out the first time...

...just read an email he sent over the weekend ... that professes some urgent desire that he really wants to date me.

...I have a boyfriend...

Did you tell your boyfriend about the dates? Did you tell your boyfriend about the emails?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's Madonna?

I got a big taste of my own medicine last week. I think.

I have a habit of blasting music in the morning before work. I bought a dvd version of the Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (the record is astounding in surround sound... amazing). Anyway, I absolutely love the tune "Do You Realize?" There's somethin about the message of the song, the great effects and the Brian Wilson-esque otherworldliness of the harmony on it that really, well, puts me in a positive mood. The video shot on the Vegas strip with the models, people in rabbit suits and elephants is also pretty damn cool. So I'm doing my usual morning routine and my wife shuts the song off. She said "I can't believe you make fun of U2 and then listen to this cheesy stuff." She called it corny. Now I can't listen to it in her company.

I've been fileted with the sot of sneering judgments which I'm usually dispensing. I suddenly felt like I'd brought home a Mini Cooper.

Is that song corny or does she have shit for brains?

On the off chance that you are Not Kidding, that would be Madonna as Marie Antoinette. A promotional shot for her upcoming tour (oh, and str8 -- thanks for hooking me up with some tickets -- whoo-hoo!).

(and if you were kidding, asking "who's that girl?" would have been funnier)

Finally, I can't believe that the Crash Test Dummies were on that bad song list. An outrage of the highest order.

What a silly question! Mr. Bunnyman knew about the dinners. He does not care if Ms. Bunny keeps male friends. Mr. Bunnyman knew about the first email (not the actual email, but the substance of the email). Mr Bunny does not know about the second email because he's currently in a hungover stooper aboard a plane coming home. Mr. Bunny probably will suggest that this is not a good friend to keep. I intend to remain on pleasant terms with him, but will probably not grab dinners with him anymore. I don't think anyone would have considered them dates, as they weren't.

And you can also use it as an example of what the doc SHOULD do when you get a boob job.

Yes, I realize Madonna's tits are real. And they're nice. I've seen "Sex", and she has one kicking body.
