"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Eeep! Thank you flea!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I really do not understand why a cover letter that states: "I can do what is required for this job or learn it in a very short amount of time. I am responsible, I am diligent, and I am dependable. Hire My Ass." is not ok. Why it is has to be all " in my previous role as a blah blah blah I shamalama ding donged and frilly frally froo frooed. My experience with thingamajigs and hoo hoos appears to be a match for the skills you are looking for in the position of dilly dally mcdagaler."

Because books.

I shamalama ding donged and frilly frally froo frooed

I dare you put that in an actual letter.

I actually sent a few letters with the "I'm a responsible adult who can do this job" sentiment in it. I didn't hear back from any of them, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

'Cause anyone could say that?

not your mom's socks.

Now, if it remains constant in five year olds with attitude, it may be helpful to a certain daughter of mine.

How about, "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. I could teach you, but I'd have to charge. You know, by you hiring and paying me."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Maybe if you substitute Cutie patatootie for ass?

I would love to use this. And hey, I may get a chance to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do often want to say: See my resume, yeah? OK then.

But that also doesn't work.

I am not happy with my clothes for today, and now I'm sitting in the room while the housekeeping lady changes the bed and stuff, and it's kind of awkward. Why couldn't she have come when I was elsewhere? Which was a lot of the morning, and will be a bunch of the afternoon? Ah well. The life of a high-flying executive? Not so much.

In more fun news, I did get a bag of conversation hearts at CVS for 9 cents.
