The homemade barbecue sauce is pretty good.

I'm on a conference call/Board meeting for our Singapore entity. Besides me there are two other members of the board, including a guy that within 10 seconds of meeting I knew was gay, but no one else seems to realize/admit this because apparently we don't have gay people in Tennessee. "He just hasn't found the right girl." The reason we're having this call at 10 p.m.? He is performing in a local production of A Chorus Line.

Maybe he's just a song-and-dance man.

A straight guy in a community theater can clean house. Or so I've heard.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Screw her out of what?

 

[T Bell]

Sorry about your dots.

Thanks. I feel like I got unsexed. I think it was the swastidot that did it. She let me dress up as Hitler and I thought that was damn white of her.

I had lunch yesterday with a friend/client that has a friend who is a big shot, I believe, in your organization.

PM? Or some clue?

I don't even remember his name. It doesn't matter. I just thought it was funny. I was going to type more but it really isn't that interesting.

I just finished reading "The Big Rich: The Rise and Fall of the Greatest Texas Oil Fortunes" which is a history of Texas' big four oil families. Ran across this line that pretty much confirms every negative stereotype of the group.

“It’s been a terrible day. First my wife’s pet kangaroo got poisoned, then somebody stole my midget butler’s stepladder.”

It also really makes me want to get a midget butler.On to "World War Z." Hopefully flysack's head doesn't explode when he sees what passes for reading around my house.

World War Z was pretty awesome.

College senior & future Mrs. Fly, on the other hand, has a great tongue.

I feel like that picture could easily appear on this show.

Her best friend was taking a photo class and did a whole shoot of us for some project. The future wife and I were X-Files fans and around this time Duchovny and Gilliam appeared on a magazine cover in this pose. We copied it. It was pretty tough keeping a disinterested face while being licked. Try it some time. You can even work it into your Stutastic arsenal: "I bet I can keep a straight face while you lick me." Get your friends to take pictures. That'd be pretty good shtick if you could compile a montage of random broads licking your bored face.

You guys were engaged already?

I'm not sure. We dated all through college and got engaged our last semester.

The ring on her hand in the pic.

I can't tell if that's her engagement ring. The photo is a little shoddy. Just look at her right hand. Her fingers look like they've been worked over by a sadistic mob thug from Vegas.

 

[flysack]

flysack needs to post his Anton Chighur pic.

Posted during the high school photo run. Do a search on "serial killer" and "flysack" and you'll find it lickity-split.

She also makes a solid home made crouton. Also never shuts up. Ever.

Our wives would get along peachy. Mrs. Fly is an ethical veggie and similarly neurotic about the illuminati trying to end the world via our stomachs. Only she's very reserved and somewhat quiet (sans wine). So Mrs. Frosty could jabber all night long and Mrs. Fly would nod enthusiastically. By morning they'd have a battleplan to take back the pantries of America.

On to "World War Z." Hopefully flysack's head doesn't explode when he sees what passes for reading around my house.

That book is on my coffee table. The wife is reading it a desperate attempt to motivate her slobbering window licking students to read, because zombies are cool and up to things.

 

[flysack]

BTW Bently, I'm not busting on you for reading World War Z. I dig on the pop fiction once in awhile, though quality fantasy is my bag. I ran through the Game of Thrones series in January and loved it.

So in the last few weeks:1. Wife has decided to make our own bread to avoid harmful chemicals2. Wife is now cooking quinoa as a substitute for rice, which we used to eat a good amount of3. Wife has started making cucumber water and keeping it in a fridge because of the anti-oxidants (I actually like this one)4. Wife has gone threw our pantry and fridge and thrown out anything with "certain harmful chemicals" - I didn't inquire further but I think she mentioned Red #55. Wife has now made two orders of around $150 a piece for "essential oils" from DoTerraShe's aware that if she stops showering or shaving I'm leaving so I think I'm safe there, but how much more crazy can this get?

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.

I was just informed she threw away our maple syrup as well.

My linkedit - I see now that it was the fake stuff. I think I'm on her side there

Spy novels are my guilty pleasure generally. Left to my own devices I would probably just read those. So I've made a deal with myself to limit fiction to 1/3 of my reading. Another third is history and the final third is human behavior.I'm only two chapters into World War Z but I'm pretty sure there's more to it than just a bunch of people fighting zombies.

#1-3 are great things. #4 is probably a good thing. #5 is effing asinine.

What do you do with essential oils? Drink them? Eat them? Smoke them? Burn them?

I loved WWZ, but then I'm a sucker for speculative fiction if it's even half-way well-written. The movie coming out appears to share the title and little else. This would have been better done as a TV series that followed the book's format.

The Wikipedia article is much shorter. I read a lot of books that way. Watch a lot of movies too.

Big zombie fan, not a big fan of this one although others seem to love it.

I honestly think it took me a year to read all 5 books. Granted, I got a little burned out at one point about 100 pages into Swords and put it down for over a month, but still.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Threesome angle shot down quickly, but she did tell me I could go "play" with this couple that's friends of ours who have had some threesomes. But it would have to be a devil's threesome (which I don't think they're into), the chick isn't hot and is pretty big, and the dude is one of my best friends and kind of creepy.

Still....

Developing...

How did I miss this last night? Oh yeah.

Deleting browsing history...

Amazon is now recommending the Big Coloring Book of ######s for me. How did they know I'd love that?!?ETA rhymes with Canadian pronunciation of Regina

Smell them.

Either put them in a thing that makes the house smell or rub them on the body. I'm trying to work this to my advantage.

Also cloth diapers.

You seem to be in pretty good spirits despite it all. GB booze.

She going to ask how stuff is prepared at restaurants now? Or are they out altogether?

 

[YSR]

I've got two friends who are into DoTerra and one of them is constantly trying to peddle it on FB. I think it's one of those things that stay-at-home moms can do to make a little money - they can have home shows, etc.

I'm pretty sure that what you meant to say is that it was one of these things they waste money on "selling" to each other while the companies all cash fat stacks.If you make $50 selling Scentsy to Judy and spend $100 at Mary's Pampered Chef party, that's not a profit.

Restaurants are still good. She's not completely crazy.

I was on break, and sick as hell for most of the month, so I spent most of it on the couch reading. And they read really fast. This isn't Finnegan's Wake here.

I always liked that guy. Looks like his afterlife ran the familiar pattern of ex-athletes: open a restaurant with the little money he saved, watched it bomb within a few years, then get a job or murder someone in a drug addled fit. Glad see him out of jail and not selling insurance.

"But those pampered chef things sell for at least $150 in the stores, so I saved up $50."
