For people who like Red Bull, but think it doesn't taste enough like clams or tomatoes, your day has come.

For those people who like Clamato, but were wondering why it doesn't have ginseng, guarana, or taurine, wonder no longer.

I present energia.

Who thought that these were two great tastes that would taste great together?

I have not seen this enticing drink yet around town. Is it available in NYC?

Clamato is something I only buy when making a ginormous batch of Bloody Mary's and feel like making the mix myself.

Now I will buy ernergia in its place, so that my Bloody Mary-drinking guest will feel more energized.

Life is good.

ETA: and the people who have been pregnant confirm this. damnit. my feet are big enough as it is.

etfs
I would just like to point out that the original shoe conversation was premised on plain old fat Americans, not people who gain weight with pregnancy.

And I woke up with a headache, for the second morning in a row, and no it's not a hangover. WTF?

When you use Clamato in your Bloody Marys, you are actually making a Bloody Caesar. Don't incur the wrath of millions of Caesar-loving Canadians. We might... hug you or apologize or something.

Thinking back, I still don't get the effort to make younger lawyers feel second class. A firm should make its young feel confident and capable. It just seems to me all the reinforcements that an associate isn't "up to snuff" simply hurts that lawyer ability to feel he can bring in new clients, or walk into a courtroom and do a good job, or whatever.
Forget confident and capable, it should at least make them comfortable. My firm gives partners an office allowance of $10k (or something) to furnish it nicely, so they all go blow $2k on a nice couch and another G on a good chair, and the rest on assorted BS.

Meanwhile, associates have these lousy standard-issue office chairs--the $99 Staples variety--most of which have lost their cushioning because they've been in use for decades. Would it be too much to ask of a wealthy firm to go out and buy a flock of good, ergonomic chairs at $750 each for all associates, to keep their box-reviewing asses happy at 9pm?

Of course, I just told the office manager I had a bad back, and they quickly got me a nice new chair. Cameron Stracher has nothing on me, baby.

I left anyway.

And a word of advice: don't trust anyone whose first or last name begins with two consonants. I once knew a Ffyona and she was a total bitch. And a Llewellyn, who, although hot, was dishonest. I don't know this Fforde character, but be careful.
consonantist fuck.

Perhaps your new place is infested with the toxic black mold. I suggest you sue immediately.

Or it could be that you're having a reaction to the pollution and/or carbon monoxide.

Don't worry, bbabby, I'm sure they really spell it "misspelling" with the two "s"'s.

Shit. My aversion to the double identical consonant strikes again.

As long as you don't hack (or photoshop) a breast off your avatar as a result, we will love you even though you are a consonantist fuck.

How do you feel about vacuums?

I took my Dyson out of the box on the weekend and my cleaning lady is christening it today. I will let you know tomorrow if the cat-hair-on-the-rug situation improves.

And speaking of elitist snobs and their wacky parents, I just got off the phone with my mother, who told me, in all seriousness, that it would be really nice if I married an American lesbian so she could move to Canada. She is totally sweet and she means well, but sometimes I wonder about her.
