The Importance of Being Earnest.
 

Just go avatarless until you find something. That one paigow suggested would have needed resizing (too wide) anyway.

Penske, the cat with the citrus peel on its head is way better than your suggestion. And you could at least resize for our new friend (assuming you know how -- I do not).

Sensitive Guys
 

So everyone knows I sit on a trading floor. I'm the only girl, and the guys are -- how do you say? -- pretty crude. They're real macho types (on the outside, anyway), and talk about sports, make bets on how many push-ups they can do, burp, fart, talk about the quality of their dumps, throw footballs around the floor, etc.

So, I always get a kick out of the following:

There's always a tv on down here (tuned to some financial channel) and people keep the volume on low from their phones (which have speakers connected to the tv). So, there's some commercial that comes on every 10 minutes or so (it seems), and the background music is that falsetto song "I'm forty-five for a moment..." blah blah blah. When that commercial comes on, every last one of them hums it and sings along (quietly, but it's unmistakeable). Doesn't really match the image they otherwise try constantly to project.

That is worse than the Hello Kitty. Now, just take a number, and I will deal with this issue at my earliest convenience.

And the good news of the day is that Willie Nelson is releasing a reggae album. Just fyi.

Now, fringey, that wasn't very nice.

If you mean the original limecat, I am saving that one for a sock to be named later.

I know that's why I gave you the reggae cat.

For me it is the blinking.

I think "didn't" is pronounced more like "di-int" (with accompanying chicken-head gesture, if you're a gal.)






Yes, yes. I had to edit the grievous error that my good friend Ironweed was kind enough to call to my attention. So I'm OCD; so was Howard Hughes -- he turned out ok. Right? RIGHT?

FWIW, I was also thinking about mixing warm lemonade and beer.

Update
 

I saw a Basedow commercial and his hair is no longer streaked blond- it's now all blond- still herion addict looking.

Maybe it got bleached by the tsunami?

Fuck Basedow's hair, I am very concerned about Maryann.

:eek:

ETA: Leaving myself open for the post-hoc whiff, I know, but I am still smarting from being chastised earlier. . . it stings.

Update
 

Ah. This reminds me -- another benefit of sitting on this floor (with the tv) is that I finally know who this Basedow character is. He's got lots of commercials on CNBC. He's creepy.

Fine now we're even. Slate wiped clean.

Smooch.

(That's for kissing and making up.)
