Have a good evening, JC.

Who’s watching the fur kids?

Oh, so you’re having an affair with the wife of your boss. This is beginning to sound like that awful Michael J. Fox movie where he messes around with the boss’s wife.
Also too are we sure this wife of the boss wasn’t looking through the sliding glass door when you ripped off your bathrobe.
Todd
If you’re in Morgantown, are there any couch burning events possible?
maya
Having dinner with the boss’s wife only increases the speculation. That’s how speculation works.
Violet
You tell us you’re having dinner with your boss’s wife and that’s supposed to quell any speculation? Have you been here before?
In any case, have fun! Hope Bill Maher is entertaining. Would love a recap if you get a chance.

I’m probably the only TeeVee Nerd thinking of the Taxi episode with Eileen Brennan entitled “Mrs McKenzie’s Revenge”. Right?
mai naem
When I saw Yutsano’s
“fur kids” my immediate thought was they have four kids already! Dang how did I miss that?
p.a.
@mai naem: mmmmmm. Helen Slater…..
scav
Boss’s wife is clever, low-hanging and obvious misdirection. It’s really Bill Maher we should be speculatering about.
ETA: PS, I now have a want, verging on stunningly want-to-need-to-have. SP&T review of Almodovar’s latest, I’m So Excited.
Mr Stagger Lee
@p.a.: 2nd that!!! mmmm Helen Slater,also Brigit Fonda Meg Ryan and other babes of the 80’s. (end of the misogyny)

@maya:
Thank you. And it would be irresponsible of us not to speculate.

I got offered a new job yesterday! I start Tuesday, and it’s a health care related IT job in San Francisco. So yeah, I’m a geeky trans woman with dyed hair who has a tech job in SF. Ive hit all the cliches!

@Amanda in the South Bay: Nice!

I’m at the NASCAR race getting liquored up. Call me later. We’ll compare experiences.
Yutsano
@Amanda in the South Bay: WHEE!! And congrats!
Suzanne
@Amanda in the South Bay: Woot woot! That’s so awesome! Congratulations. :)
I found out that I failed my 4th licensing test. Have to pay another $210 to take the motherfucker again in six months. OI.
Violet
@Amanda in the South Bay: Congratulations!
Morzer
@mai naem:
He could be having an affair with the boss while using the wife as cover. You know, the classic Manti Te’o strategy. After all, none of us ever saw the alleged romantic interest that Cole trailed on here for a few weeks.
Comrade Mary
@Amanda in the South Bay: YAY! So happy for you!

Amanda in the South Cliche: Hourray!

@Suzanne: Ugh. That sucks. Hopefully it’ll work out next time.

@Amanda in the South Bay:
Good for you! What will you be doing IT-wise?
Svensker
@Amanda in the South Bay:
Yay you!
Morzer
@scav:
The Kippers in the Guardian comments are screaming “Conspiracy!”.
Poor, deluded critters.

@Amanda in the South Bay:
Congratulations!

@Violet: Thanks. I think I probably just made some stupid error (they won’t tell me what I screwed up), so it’s irritating but not devastating.

@Svensker:
Hey Svensker, who’s your pick in the Jets’ six horse QB stakes?

dinner with the boss’s wife
scav
@Morzer: haven’t even made it to the comments yet, still rolling at this
Morzer
@scav:
You’ll enjoy the comments immensely. The Kippers haven’t quite denounced the Milk Marketing Board as the true source of the conspiracy yet, but give them time.

@Suzanne: How many of those do you have to take? Ugh! Glad that you feel comfortable though, about retaking the test.

I am imagining Cole as part of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover.

@Amanda in the South Bay: Do you own a Subaru?
Yutsano
If PsiFighter shows up, I have a suggestion on where we could congregate when he comes out this way. Sadly I will most likely have to pass as I’ll probably have to go discuss the potential move with the folks that weekend.
@Omnes Omnibus: If she did, that might tear a hole in the universe. Better a Prius in the Bay Area anyway.
Morzer
@Omnes Omnibus:
Hold on, I thought our stereotypes now included Priuses rather than Subarus.
*confused*
Omnes Omnibus
@Yutsano: @Morzer: I’m just going to go get a latte.

I kind of liked that movie. What ever happened to Margaret Whitton?

@Morzer:
Christ, no. I come from the elitist side of the street.
@scav: It’s always booze o’clock somewhere.

@Omnes Omnibus: So, Finn Comforts then?
Eta. Whew! I usually sin with a red, but I’ll be good this time.

@Amanda in the South Bay:
Congratulations! Go you!

Speaking of movies, Into Darkness premiered in Sydney. My wife is there now, hopefully delaying her gratification by waiting to see it with me, on a big screen, on her birthday as a present to her (ahem).
Anyway, the villain is revealed here. Sadly, I can’t seem to make the highlight work on the iPad to see other spoilers beyond that.

@Omnes Omnibus:
I shall have to re-calibrate my mental avatar of you to include some wing tips.
Omnes Omnibus
@Morzer: Not really a wing tip sort of guy.
schrodinger's cat
@Omnes Omnibus: White tie? Are you going to Downton for dinner.
Omnes Omnibus
@schrodinger’s cat: I’ve never owned the whole white tie get up.

I hope you’re eating at the Lavender Cafe… easily the best food in town.

@Mr Stagger Lee: Danny Elfman is a lucky man.
Scamp Dog
@Suzanne: What are you getting licensing for?
Morzer
@Omnes Omnibus:
Hmm, so, somewhere between Birkenstocks and wing tips, with an inclination to the elitist part of the spectrum…
Clearly, this is a three pipe problem.
Or at least a one cigar problem.
Yutsano
@Scamp Dog: Architorture. Per thang.
gnomedad
I’d like to nip the speculation I started earlier in this sentence in the bud.
Omnes Omnibus
@gnomedad: Too late.
gogol's wife
@gnomedad:
Somebody has to link that Barney Fife video.
Morzer
@gnomedad:
Well, I can see your point about the possible alien landings, but as to whether Gruyere is really the best of cheeses, there I fear we must part ways.
Yutsano
@Morzer: Is there really such a thing as a bad cheese? I have yet to sample one.
NotMax
No word on whether pants are in use or not.
Hmmmmmm.
In other stuff, from the ‘welcome to reality’ realm, ex-ex-gay contrition.

@gnomedad:
Here it is. Of course I learned about it through BJ.

@Yutsano: Limburger.
Morzer
@Yutsano:
There are certainly cheeses that are waxy and lack flavor. Mass-produced ready sliced cheeses seem that way to me, as does most of what is labeled ‘American’ cheese. But I am just some liberal elitist who despises the simple pleasures of the virtuous hicks of the heartland. What could I possibly know?
Morzer
@Omnes Omnibus:
I’ve certainly never encountered a good Limbaugher.
Amanda in the South Bay
Thanks everyone, it’ll be a jack of all trades position, basically. Yay for finding a good job in this shitty economy.
gnomedad
@gogol’s wife:
That is … quite good.
Maude
@Morzer:
I had a low fat cheese a long time ago. It was awful.
Made waxy seem top shelf.
Maude
@Amanda in the South Bay:
What a relief. Good on you.
Morzer
@Maude:
This is true. Low-fat cheese, low-sodium bacon… verily, we live in a degenerate age when the peddlers of such foul substances are not immediately haled by tumbril to the guillotine to pay the price of their gastric iniquities.
NotMax
FYWP. Cheese comment in moderation? What a crock.
NotMax
Let’s try a truncated version about worst cheese, with a space between letters of each of the words to try to appease the persnickety gods of FYWP.

Cole should try to avoid getting anything caught in the boss’s wife. He’s had a problem with those types of accidents recently, and they can cause ‘speculation’.
On other hand, if he is just out admitting it, then I guess he means he’ll skip the speculation part and go straight to consequences.

Love that whole scene. In fact, any chance I get to re-watch Pulp Fiction I take in a heartbeat.

There is no bottom to the crazy in this one. Arrest and charges filed (again) in the MIssissippi Ricin (Riccinnippi?) case.
This time, going with the new guy, a martial arts instructor for a change, but also blues band player, republican candidate and, unfortunately, already facing charges for fondling 3 children. Busy lot down there.
How many others knew that Elvis Guy’s brother is also an Elvis Impersonator? At what point does a community reach Elvis saturation?
detox! No no no, what’s that room? Zero Room. Me. There.
Patricia Kayden
Bill Maher is hilarious. Have fun.
Morzer
@scav:
Which Elvis has left the building, again?
NotMax
@Morzer
With the advent of being able to buy a spot on a spacecraft (albeit a very extravagant purchase), it is just a matter of time until we see the first Elvis in space.

@NotMax:
Do you suppose we could club together and send Sarah Palin into space, permanently? Or would that cause the Martians to declare war?
NotMax
@Morzer
As the Encyclopedia Galactica says, space is big. Really big.
Even so, we should strive to keep from deliberately polluting it.

@NotMax:
But this is just one teensy-tiny exception. No-one would notice. Not even Baby Jesus.

@Ben Franklin: Was he an Elvis Impersonator? Same goes for the Black Felt Baby Jebus if he puts on a pants suit.

I am always surprised to hear that you have a job. I have always thought were this independently wealthy animal lover living off your millions in a southern state only because you wanted to be close to your parents.
Morzer
@ellie:
Is Tunch independently wealthy? Have we found the true identity of Cole’s “employer”? But then, who is this mysterious wife we keep hearing about?
Suzanne
@Scamp Dog: I’m trying to get my license to be an architect. As of right now, I just design buildings. With my license, my job will change absolutely…not at all.
