However, having 'nice ladies' to take you out may be to your advantage. Feigning tiredness, you can fall to the ground, thereby enabling you to peek up the skirts of aforementioned 'nice ladies'. Hours of endless fun in your current predicament. *Camera optional. Take care fella... My dear Oddbloke, what a sorry affair. However, having ‘nice ladies’ to take you out may be to your advantage.

On the one hand, you have the McMe which will be pounded into something resembling what we have been trained to accept as a burger, and sold to people who are only there because they are too pathetic to open the microwave door. Yet, on the other hand we have people paying over the odds for "chefs" cooking and serving up nothing special as if it was a gift from god, a person's career will live and die based upon the careful placement of the sprig of parsley. I reckon half the clientelle are there because it is a place to be "seen", as some sort of social status confirmation ritual. Frankly, it is so damned pretentious that I think I would prefer to be a McMe. At least with McFood there is no inherent bullshit other than whether or not the server is stingy with the fries. You don't have "expectations", and you can feed yourself pretty damn well for under twenty euros, which is less than the drinks (alcoholic or not) would cost in the other place...

Ugly folks on commercial ads!! Wtf. I keep thinking to myself I keep seeing the same ugly actors in different commercials for different ads. Then I have to wonder why?!?! I should be in their shoes getting paid. I mean as fugly n I attractive as they are why can't I do it? The only diff. Between them and me is the fact that they auditioned for the job. Look closely at the commercials and you'll see that ANYONE can be in them. On national tv getting paid thousands. Oh yea and I'm just your average looking joe.

You are being most unfair to granny - she's obviously trying to extend your menagerie without lumbering you with extra costs - food, dog license, vet's bills, time need to walk the thing and above-all have to clean up after the bloody thing. This is just the kind of animal I like, silent, cheap to run, low maintenance, coat changing colour through the seasons. If it wasn't for the fact that it's presence in our 'low-maintence, Zen-style' garden (i.e. gravel on felt with a coloured wiggly slate river), would attract real hounds into it to shit all over the grand design, I have it myself. Good luck trying to get shot of it :-) I think it looks rather cute!
