If I were reading a legal opinion, I would know that I had been invaded by body snatchers.

Eating in restaurants (especially breakfast) is like sex. I love it, I'm crazy about it, it's all I think about for much of the time, but after I'm done, I want to be out of there fast so that I can start getting shit done. And that means no sitting around drinking coffee for half an hour.

Fucking coffee drinkers.

So, you waited over an hour for a booth?

Cloning. When will they ever perfect cloning? (sigh)

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I love going out for eggs. When I used to have men stay over, which was infrequent because mostly I would ask them to leave after, but if I liked them and they stayed, sometimes we would go out for breakfast in the morning. Did I mention how much I like going out for breakfast? You read the paper, drink coffee, eat eggs or pancakes. It's wonderful. ymmv, of course.

And there are so many good places and things for breakfast.

I can think back on the breakfast places I've lived near. Fried eggs and home fries. Bagels and lox. Huevos rancheros. Hungarian Blintzes. German apple pancakes. Fried eggs and home fries.

And then there's vacation. Espresso and tropical fruits in the Carribean. French toast in Quebec.

Mmmmmm.

Sounds like you don't really appreciate either one.

Yeah, due to the booze,* I almost always wake up with a boner. It's nice to roll over and realize that there's somewhere to put it.

*did we find out why this is? b/c the alcohol makes your blood rush to the surface?

I like having an out-for-breakfast crew to do that with. At least when I was more single I did. Nothing like sitting with 3 or 4 hungover friends, reading the paper and eating salty, greasy breakfast food.

I like going out for brunch but only after I have had a chance to hit the gym and take a shower. I have left men sleeping in my bed while I hit the gym and take a shower and then I wake them up for morning sex and brunch and bloody marys. Some think this is strange but I say FUCK THEM. And hey, I just did!

Having greasy breakfast food after a shower would make me want to shower again. Isn't that part of the point? To wallow in slop like a pig b/c you look and feel like one?

Well, this is why people think I am strange. But seriously, FUCK THEM. I prefer to be shiny and happy when I have my breakfast.

Oh no nooooo. You misunderstand. I was just reading one of those comment letter thingys in response to some propsed SEC rule that an outside firm drafted. In that letter was an excerpt of a case with the offending word. At least I think it was a case. The quote was followed by all that blue book shit (at least what I think was blue book shit).

I haven't read a legal opinion in... well... a long time.

A colleague of mine once wrote an article in which he used the word "incentivize" three or four times. I deleted it, saying that I thought it was "made up", and looked silly. This was in 1999. Now, six years later, the debate still rages. It's unfortunately probably here to stay.

On another happy note, a client e-mailed me today asking me if an agreement was "fully baked". I wanted to jump out the window.

Why do the fucking nimrods at my help desk act like they are doing me a big fucking favor when they do stuff like restore access to restricted web sites like www.nysd.uscourts.gov or give me the ability to email restricted files like files ending in .doc or .pdf?

I find it amusing that ABBAKiss has been the most recent poster on the Moms and Dads board for two days now. I have the last word on child rearing!

I hate breakfast. I hate the smell of eggs. I hate places that smell like eggs. Breakfast is overrated. If I eat a large American breakfast, I feel all bloated and tired.

I don't have time to make breakfast; I have to "get to work." Sorry, my boss has really been busting my chops. I'll walk you to the door, though...CALL ME!

Dude, you are starting to sound like one of the older than dirt married guys who talks about sex with women like he is still having it. Sequels is a lucky lady.
