It's finally over - the suits are leaving today.

We crowned the week last night with a tribute show for Uncle Walter, as in Cronkite. He was so cool!

Had everything ready - all the suits in place, cameras ready to roll, lights, action - but no WC!!!???!!! Shit!!! I find him holding court with a bunch of babes out in the galery, he's sipping wine and John Filo the huge Kent State, Pulitzer photog is snapping away. I really don't want to destroy any mood yah know, me a pee-on, but I need the man on stage. I get his attention but he tells me he has to go pee first. Great! A whole bunch of folks are waiting!

10 minutes later he makes it to the stage.

Funniest moment? A question from the audience, again from Brian Mulrooney: "Tell us the most impressive world leader you've met - and the least impressive." WC goes into what he believes should be the criteria for a great leader - I agree with his assessment totally. Then he definitely and swiftly speaks of Anwar Saddat. Great man. No others get close.

But, but, but..... Uncle Walty, you forgot, what about the least impressive (he's being prodded) - he hesitates, he fudges a bit - well he says - "I really didn't like Hitler very much." Huge laugh from the audience.

That is all - I'm a 10. It is over. Work Christmas party tonight, big band, and held in a huge, big time (you guys see it all the time) TV studio overlooking Times Square.

Yep, life is pretty good. And I'm on virtual holiday until Jan 4th or so. My year is done. Fini.

And a new one looms. Yuch!

I'm a 10 and unstoppable today - hope you are too.
 
Mornin' Sparky

My night was not that fun, had dinner at the inlaws and spent an hour at the mall trying to convience my 2 year old that Santa is not evil and she should smile for a picture.

Never happened everytime she got close she would start screaming "Help daddy" So we try again next week so I can get the picture and print my Christmas cards.

I am a 8 today though!!!
 
Mornin' Spark, I'm a 10 in spite of the fact that I am being dragged to a wedding kicking and screaming this weekend. The worse part is that it is "up there" in Boston. Oh, well, it's the family and all, whatcha gonna do?
 
Hey Amb.....

Think snow - I think they still go some on the ground up there and it might snow this weekend. You could even get snowed in up there. Hah!
 
Morning Sparky

Just checking in briefly. Running the roads this week (sort of unexpectedly) which sucks. Being out of the office is usualy something I enjoy but not this stuff. Dropping off corporate christmas gifts and picking up cheques. Grip, grin, gift, grab. Have a merry ho ho thanks for the coins. The only up side is my boss rented me a brand spankin' new Durango to do it in.

Xander if ya' can catch a flight you can ride shotgun.

4 on the sparkometer this morning, too much driving.

I really need a blowjob and a nap. Unfortunately I hafta' hit the road in an hour or so.
 
Damn Expertise, I thought I was having a bad few days (don't ask, I don't even want to go into it.)

Trade you a massage for a blow job and join you in a nap, deal?

Morning Sparky.
 
Mornin'.

Tired today. Could really use a nap myself. I figure it at about a 4.

Oh, and get this one...
Damn cat got spooked by something in the middle of the night last night. So, she thought it would be appropriate to tear-off over the side of my face. I have 4 good sized scratches on my cheek and forehead, but one really deep one right in my ear!!! Ouch. Talk about a lousy way to wake up!!! So, I'll have a full day of goofy innuendo of rough sexual exploits. Damn, if only that WERE the case.
 
My day started way early, I am about a 5. Today is my first day off in 10 days, got a call from one of the managers that no one showed up to open the building. I live 5 minutes away, so grabbed clothes, jumped in the truck, got to the store as another manager arrived & locked my keys in the truck with the motor running. During the holidays, the fire department will unlock doors for free, especially if the vehicle is running. Of course, all 3 of the firemen were major cute & I am in holey jeans, Barbie sweatshirt & my hair half unbraided because the cat got tangled up in my hair. This kind of stuff is supposed to happen on Monday. However, I get to see 2 of my favorite little girls later this afternoon & my sweetie will be here tonight, so will up to at least a 9.
 
GOOD MORNING LITEROTICANS,

I always find it amusing that you can tell people about this Northern area of the US,and if they haven't actually been here, they won't believe what's true. Tell them you ride around in a covered wagon with your pet Walrus, and that rings true with their perceptions.

A couple of years back, I'm driving to work (in a car) and in front of the Amoco station a scruffy looking dude has a sign that says "WILLING TO WORK FOR FOOD OR BEER" and I'm thinking good luck, buddy. I'm hanging outside my shop having a smoke and sure enough the same guy wanders by and we exchange greetings. After some small talk I feel I need to help this guy out with his slogan, meaning lose the beer part and he may do better, he just shrugs happily and says he's gotta be honest.

So I've got some left-overs and a little beer in my fridge, I find out he's from Tennessee, and he wants to spend the winter here (a week later hecame in all cleaned up and shaved, sporting a sharp suit and tie he kept in his duffle bag, I didn't recognize him). It hadn't gotten really cold yet, so I ask him if he's got a warm coat and a pair of decent gloves. He kind of tugs on his jean jacket confidently and says he's tough. Now after my vivid descriptions of the wintery things to come, he's still not convinced that "Old Man Winter" is anything to be too concerned with. There was nothing I could say, and I said alot, that would make him understand the phrase "Fucking Cold." Of course, the inevitable Arctic blast came in eventually, and slapped him along side the head. I haven't heard from him since, I'm certain he's spending his winters in Chatanooga from now on.

Now I've got a different friend that's new to the area. Man, you should have seen him suffering a couple of days ago. He didn't believe me either.
 
Weren't you leaving or something Sparky?

Well oh my. My sap is running. That's almost better than Expertise in a pair of chaps. It's got the 318 in it though, no doubt, a rather disappointing engine over all. I'd almost rather have that little ford thing. What color is it? What size tires does it have? Does it have the 318 or did you majorly luck out and get one of the oops we put the *drooooooool* big block in it?

I'm going to go hug my truck now.

Where ya'll at anyway PH? Other than cold. I wanna go home. *sigh*
 
318 (small 8 anyway) I think. Got the RT/S tires its green, leather interior loaded AND STILL SITTING IN OUR FUCKING PARKING LOT BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE CAN'T GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER! FFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!

Only if you promise to wear the chaps. I'll even give you the blowjob, but you'll have to nap later.

Dammit. 318s SUCK!!!!!!!! I'd almost *oh blasphemy* rather drive a, dare I say it??? 350. Ooohhhh I'm so ashamed. Someone needs to lick me and make me feel better.

Annette Funicello, sorry forgot to drop a name.
 
took a poll on a local paper website

this morning on whether or not "the divide" will cause problems with whomever is in office. Get this, we were divided on whether the divide will cause divison.

hehe

50/50 no shit.

Exp.. good to have you back, sorry for all the run around - I have to do the same thing over the next couple of weeks except I don't get checks, just get to give out gifts.

sparks, I'm jealous!! That party sounds fantastic! The only thing special I get to do tonight is go out to eat at one of Knoxville's finest restaurants and then party a bit with a coworker. No band, no big names, pfft.

And, I still have the doctor appointment this afternoon so I'm REALLY not looking forward to that. ~ sigh

Makes my day at about a 4 with no hope of looking better. Shit.

Hey, it gets even better if you live in Canada, Purp. I can weave tales of igloos and dogsleds and penguins, and some people believe every word. The city I live in is actually south of several states, but I guess there's some bizarre transformation when you cross that border...

I'm about a 4 this morn.
 
I've heard Canada is a maple syrup country. As soon as you get off the plane, a Royal Mounty is there with your supply.

The couple of times I went into Canada, I noticed very soon that everything was a little stronger than in the states. Cigarettes, beer, coffee, even the strippers. I had never seen a completely nude dancer before, so I decided I like Canada.

I don't know if the whole country was like this, I was in Manitoba, but there were some strange laws, like you couldn't walk around the bar with a drink. You have to be seated, and if you want to go to a different table a waitress was required to move your drinks. Liquor stores are hidden away in some back alley like a speakeasy, no beer is allowed in hotel rooms, I broke that law.

To go down on somebody is called "giving face" in Canada.

I gave the dancer "head" anyway.
