Now Panic and Freak Out.
1. If you’re going to use the line, “Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home?” it’s really far more effective if:
A) You’re Paul Newman
and
B) You’re not known for your passionate love of hamburgers.
2. I’m averaging about 5 hours of sleep a night and 500 milligrams of caffeine a day.
That all sorts of wrong.
3. I ordered this framed poster for my sister’s office. It was a poster created by the British Government in 1939 that was to be distributed if the Nazis invaded Great Britain. It was re-discovered in 2000 and widely reprinted.
Not to be mistaken for the slightly less motivational:
4. NYC next week. And I think I will be going to Las Vegas in February with some friends, Sitcom included. She has only been to Las Vegas once and only for one night. She informed us that despite her short stay, she managed to “do the walk of shame from the Flamingo to the Aladdin though. Ew. I was so gross. Clearly, I would now only walk of shame from the Wynn to the Bellagio.”
Another member of said group of friends threw up out of a moving cab.
I chimed in that I threw up in a trash can along the strip during my last trip.
Don’t judge.
I’d like to say it was because I was drunk and having a fantastic time. But really? I had pneumonia and did not know.
5. Sometimes, on Fridays, I come home and Little Filthy is singing along to songs, using his bone as a microphone. He doesn’t know I know.
Just a random attorney writing about daily life with Little Filthy, my rotten dog.

Random,
Who watched the little filthster when you go away ? He is so cute ! The last time I dogsat, I was instructed to leave the radio on, as the owner was convinced her dog danced while she was at work.
Have fun in NYC. I sent out my resumes to recruiters, in just in case. I would move there if I could.
Get some sleep !

If you’ve got burgers in mind and you’re on your way to my hood, let me recommend:
(Le Secret) Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridien 119 West 56th Street
Corner Bistro at 331 W. 4th St
Shake Shack 366 Columbus Ave between 77th St & 78th St
Definitely my top three.

@Sandra – my parents will be watching Little Filthy while I’m away. He makes them nuts.

1. Most excellent signs.
2. Hamburgers are patriotic.
3. Is LF eating a marshmallow on a fat stick?
4. Why isn’t marshmAllow spelled marshmEllow?
5. Aren’t we all more mellow after consuming them?

Did you make that hamburger? Because it looks bangin.
I’ve never done a walk of shame in Vegas, but I would try to shoot for the Wynn to the Belagio as well.
My last visit to Vegas included a special trip to a strip club that DIDN’T ALLOW ALCHOLOLIC BEVERAGES. How am I supposed to watch coked-out 90-pounders violate a pole without a buzz? Highlight of the night: one chic fell off the pole. And when your all skin n bones, you hit hard. She was okay though thats why I didn’t feel bad giggling. Saddest part of the night: seeing these chics crawl around on the stage hands and knees to collect what didn’t look like more than ten bucks.
I wonder what LF would be singing?

Shit RE – we need corp HQ to distribute those posters instead of the ‘motivational’ shit they keep passing out. Or posters with our company ‘values’ and crap like that. I want that poster. For my office. You do too.
October 30th, 2009 at 9:36 am
I LOVE the poster. That’s just so… British.
I’ve never been to Vegas. One day I’ll get there.
Yeah, I need more sleep too.

3. Great posters.
4. Have fun in NYC! I was there once as a teenager, and only for the day. I definitely want to go back.
I love Vegas! Last time was a girls trip and stayed at the Mandalay Bay. The hardest part of going to Vegas…the 5 hour ride home.
5. Too cute…
Get some rest RE. Have a “boo” tiful weekend!

How do you go to Vegas and not TELL ME?
I’m offended.
October 30th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
@BigLittleWolf – That’s a very manly bone he has in his paws.
@MissMegs – Indeed, I did make that hamburger. That strip club story cracks me up. Little Filthy likes singing Irish drinking songs.
@Instigator – heh. It’s a great poster, isn’t it?
@T – YES, so totally British. Las Vegas is fun every so often!
@Linda – I think we should organize a big trip to Vegas. NYC can be next.
@QT – heh, we just talked about it yesterday. VEGAS, BABY!

Hmm. That is a manly bone between his dainty little paws, now that I’m looking more closely. But is it an American bone or a Euro-bone? Not so sure… however, I suggest the following:
1. Forget Las Vegas
2. Forget NYC
3. Plan a trip to Paris – a romantic getaway with Besos and LF.
4. LF needs some holiday spirit and ought to consider trying French bones.
5. PERFECT event for you, Cary, and Besos, and particularly Little Frisky: http://www.decouvrir-paris.fr/2009/10/messe-des-animaux-de-sainte-rita-decouvrir-paris/
6. I have no idea if you read French or not, but basically it’s a mass in a lovely Parisian church, explicitly so you may bring your animals.
7. They have hamburgers in Paris, too.

My sister has that poster in her dorm room! Love it. And caffeine rocks. No worries on that front.
