I see my husband (who at just over 250 pounds is a right about a third the man I am – and I mean that in two different ways, if such things infest you) has once again deluded himself into thinking that the faux/gimmick/gag PHD certificate (from Hamburglar U, with the big curved “M” watermark and the Hamburglar’s face and signature clearly stamped on it) we purchased for him back on his 77th birthday has once again gone to his Gonorrhea-addled brain. Last week, he thought he was Kurt Kobain – and I thank the good lord that he mistook the vacuum cleaner when he went for his shotgun, and (no harm, no foul) I only had to clean part of his tonsils out of the vacuum bag. He consoled himself with his blowup doll – calling her Courtney (I have no idea why) instead of Elizabeth (his usual name for her) for the rest of the day. I did have to talk him out of getting her a new piercing, though, as piercings don’t tend to work real well with inflatables.

That said, that item at the lower left of the photo does indeed strongly resemble a very small hairless canine, and having removed all the hair from countless yipping beasts, I know that look well.

My dearest Jim:

I see that the advice of an older, successful man is once again needed!

Eating what appears to be a roasted skinned dachshund dotted with ranch dressing at your desk is no way to go up the ladder in the publishing business. This is a sad, but basic fact.

I have a PhD in psychology and sense from your dogeared expression that there may be areas in your life that have gone wanting. Despite your wedding ring(?), I would encourage you to clean yourself up a bit, sit up straight, see the Hair Club people and hit the tanning booth. My wife (ours is a happy May-Dec relationship, by the way) may be able to help with the latter, as she owns several successful grooming salons.

And for Godsake don’t let people even take photos of you with food littering your mouth and lips — much less allow such to be published over the internet.

Also, the European knife and fork thing is actually quite affected and a turnoff to most normal women.

I sincerely hope I have been of help to you, young man!

Chuck, PhD

Somewhat related, but not entirely…
I just went to Rhong-Tiam last night in W. Village.
Their steamed seabass with chili, lime & garlic was just as amazing as it was when I was living in thailand.

I would be out of the office the day of my profile…

Mamacita: I’ve been thin and pasty since childhood, it’s not the editing. My salary is decent, and I actually eat a lot (metabolism thing) I just don’t like overpaying for lunch.

Bossman: Thanks for the reality check. Unless my financial situation changes this is most likely pipe dream status as of now.

Yvo: See above.

Wayne/Rudy: Thanks for the encouragement.

DDR: I ALWAYS offer a dollar to the free bread guy. He did very well in the street meat contest btw. Going to finally buy a meal from him this week…

I’m with neil – I have yet to find a place that serves good Thai noodle soup that could compare to my mom’s. And it could work as a cart since it’s authentic Thai street food that seemingly would require less effort than curries or stir fried foods.
