Peace In Our Time

Great strength, force of will, and an early cocktail must be gathered in times like these for a woman of my great social magnitude to continue on, but--to tell you the truth--it would be easier to say "Damn The Torpedoes" and go down. Fortunately, cool heads prevailed on Sunday and Latinos were able to have "their night" while the rest of the place went over the top.

There was one of those magic monents, though, this morning when I walked into my office and found a shoe (a rather large shoe) with a wallet inside. I sniffed and thought, "another Cinderella has lost her slipper" and later received a call: "Hi, I'm Jason and I received an email telling me to contact Alexis. I lost my shoe last night." "Yes, Jason, I have it. "There must be a good story behind it." "I don't even remember being at The Palace; the last thing I recall was being pulled out of Versaces's pool naked and my friends trying to put my pants back on. I guess we made it one block over there, but I don't remember."

"No worry we have the shoe here," and when he came in I so wanted to fit it on his foot. But it was Monday and so many things were going on (it was a very LARGE shoe). I did, however, come out with the shoe on a pilllow; it really seemed the thing to do. He was happy, embarrassed, whatever. It was a big shoe.

You, of course, are comparing his shoe size with the size of his, er... biceps, right? xx

Yeah, the biceps; that's what I must have been obsessed with. That and the empty office I just walked out of. That's called "opportunity lost".

Oooh a real life 'Cinderella'! Just how DO you do it?? :-)

Wow. This is one of the scenarios where my stock reply of "it's a metaphor for life really" actually applies.

Sounds like a premise for a porn. Speaking of, I 'watched' the "best of Joey Stefano" yesterday. There was actually a scene where someone told Stefano, "Your hole is so tight". I'm not sure if his scene-partner had an uncanny sense of irony--but I'm sure that descriptor has never been applied to Joey in seriousness.

Love.

Wow ed, your hole is so tight.

Leave Ed's hole alone; it belongs to Craiger (then me...).

In the fall of 1989 I got to see Joey strip at Mars in NY. Since the "stage" was a meat cutting table, the intimacy of the crowd was very serious. Quite a few beer bottles were inserted up his ass; I don't think he minded size at all. (I also got to film in on my new Sony mini-cam.) Alas, Joey was a casualty of the eighties.

Hey Mrs, thanks for sticking up for me! No changes in the script indeed. However you're only halfway correct here. Ed belongs to me entirely! Anonymous... watch you back! You're treading on extremely dangerous ground!

It was only a "what if" situation; all War Rooms have them, Craiger.
