You know, the whole social framework of our life really hangs by a thread. I mean, what actually prevents any of us from showing up at work without pants?

Same thing would happen here - tidying up for the cleaner. Never quite understood that one.

The Long Riders is an underrated movie.

I know! I mean, have you ever seen a sign in a shop or a bar reading "No Pants, No Service"? Me, neither.

I have an extra ticket to the Red Sox v. White Sox game tonight... who wants to come with me? I have NO one to ask...

She was lookin' pretty dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an 'L' on her forehead

Would if I could, Muggy. It would be fun watching a baseball game with you.

As long as two players don't slam their faces into each other - did you see that? Wow, that looked painful.

My dad has forgotten my birthday for about 5 years straight....his birthday was Thursday, and for the first time I didn't call him to wish him a happy birthday either. Now I'm feeling really, really guilty.

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Sat Aug 13, 2005 9:51 pm

You can't feel guilty for that, Red. It was a perfectly natural reaction. Please don't blame yourself.

In a completely different thought, margaritas sure are good.

Having a head cold and sinus headache when it's 94 degrees and humid as hell is, well, hell.

My goodness I'm whiny these days!

I've discovered something great with Sirius satellite radio.

The best way to start your day. Ramones on the way to work in the morning. The two things, at first, do not appear to go together. But I think that is what makes the experience so wonderful. I'm driving down Portage Road, just like every morning. Same sights and sounds...but now, I have something that most of the other pathetic people don't...the Ramones.

I wish all of you Ramones on the way to work, humor to get you through the day, love to make it all worth it, and Stardust memories forever.

I went on a date last week with the cheapest guy I have ever met. I finally told him I wasn't ready to start dating anyone new, but the real reason was that he was cheap. He kept "inviting" me to "spoil" him. The last straw came when he assumed I was going to take him to a play with vouchers I earned for volunteering. I guess it wasn't cheapness so much as an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.

NB: I always pay my way, this is not about wanting to be treated. This is about not wanting to be tricked into paying for a movie I see with a guy who doesn't tip the bartender on free drinks.

In my job it's compulsory. Now, who'd like a doughnut?

And don't ask where they've been dunked!

I haven't worn pants at all, let alone to work, since the temperature first poked its head above 55 degrees!

There should really be 28 hours in a day, so everyone can get 4 extra hours of sleep.

Reasons why I dislike lending my mobile phone:

- I may essentially be paying for somebody else's tardiness (or just plain selfishness).
- It can be a major invasion of privacy.
- I'm left to sort out data later, often mysterious.
- I may keep getting calls back later asking me to pass on messages.
- Hygiene issues - they could sweat and breathe all over it.
- Care issues - they could drop it or otherwise damage it.

Miss BA - Lucky you stopped volunteering when you did. Btw, can I borrow your mobile phone?

This character named "Scoots" who had my cell phone number 2 years ago before I got it was certainly a popular and busy person; too busy, apparently, to give people his new number.

A similar thing happened to me. I'd get strange calls for Manuel.

Perhaps, whoever this Milo guy is, but Trader Joe's Spiced Chai Tea is the nitshizz.

And, Ms. BA, I was speaking of metaphorical pants. And that guy isn't merely cheap, it's immoral not to tip for freebies!

That reminds me, I must get a new pair of metaphorical pants.
