I do actually like you
Jackie Collins, the sister of Joan Collins off of “Dynasty”, was the writer of some incredible books, all of which were about powerful ladies who were real “goers”. I read “Lady Boss” on holiday when I was much too young and it changed the course of my life. Made me the man I am today, I reckon. There was a great doc about her, still on iPlayer in the UK and Netflix in the US, I believe. An excellent watch.
Is this a sign of someone other than Lottie getting Glenn’s name wrong?
I put that one down to Kiwi vowel pronunciation
How do Kiwi vowels differ from the normL ones?
Will Glenn move into Planet Claire’s orbit? I hope so. They have good chemistry, not to mention angular momentum.
They definitely do seem to and would make for a great pair. Still we probably shouldn’t write off “Glenttie” shipping just yet. Opposites do attract sometimes after all.
I’m on the Glaire ship, full time. I can’t handle the Glaire off that Pair!
Glaire has a nice ring to it.
But it keeps getting in my eyes.
I was on the Clottie ship until I said it out loud.
I would like to point out that Glenn has two hands (although personally speaking I kinda ship both of em and I don’t know what I want more).
I hear on Planet Claire no one has a head, which doesn’t bode well for that buthiness.
Great. My inner monologue sounds like Fred Schneider *again.*
On the plus side, it has a great Farfisa organ driving the tune!
I’m sure sure I’d trust the freshness of food that had “DAYS PASS…” written on it.
“NOT sure” (grumble, grumble, non-editable comments)
Non-editable and inedible.
This is either going to very Frasier or very Joey…
Looks like they opted for Chinese takeout as pizza proved to be too existentialist dread inducing last time. Also love Lottie as a Jackie Collins cover illustration.
Also, “Lady Boss & Sexy Dogcatcher”; for some reason that doesn’t sound very alluring. Collins must have written it when she was past her prime.
I think you need to take a long hard look at why you don’t find women with jobs alluring, Mr. Webster.
Jesus, hope you didn’t put your back out casting that aspersion. I believe Mr Webster’s comment derived primarily from the “dogcatcher” element; this profession, if worthy, not being customarily ranked top as regards “comfort”, “prestige”, nor “remuneration”.
I regret to inform you that John Allison has made up Lady Boss, though Sexy Dogcatcher can be found in all good charity shops
I’m totally sure Claire is a great investigatorq. But I’m concerned about the progress of her studies with her constantly visiting Glenn and taking responsibility for the company.
Oh yeah! She’s in school! I completely forgot about that – and I’m afraid she has, as well.
Ahhh, Days Pass. The best takeout place in Britane.
Totally unrelated, but I’ve been obsessed with a new album (ep?) by a band called Winkler, and it seems like it might be in your wheelhouse, John. Puts the pop in Lo-Fi indie pop, where it is often lacking. Great stuff.
Little-known fact*: Jackie Collins’ closest friends called her by the nickname Jac Cues.
(* So little-known I may have made it up)
it’s like ladies look at Glenn and think, “that’d be a good man to run a business with”
“It seems able to make me have healthy and robust profits.”
I gather that Claire saw Working Girl at an impressionable age.
She understands that women in business by necessity involves “a body for sin?” Ma’am this does NOT help with accounting…
It does when the auditor is in and needs distracting.
They will be unable to solve it thereby luring Lottie to come back
Or, the dowager’s problem will turn out to connect to D-Slide and/or Nero somehow.
Or Lottie could come back in a moment of sadness, see that they are running the business very well even without her and be even sadder.
The question is, is the dogcatcher sexy, or just someone who catches sexy dogs?
¿Por qué no los dos?
the sexydog catcher is a different profession, being an essential but often under-appreciated player in sexydog ball. This game, not very unlike baseball, involves swinging at a ball – this ball is sometimes called the ‘sexydog’. It is thought however that this strange term is simply given because the game originates in Turkey and in Turkish, the name for the projectile sounds remarkably like “Sexydog”. Naturally, when Americans first adopted the game, they changed the name of the ball to ‘base’, thus, ‘baseball’.
And then, bafflingly, the Americans decided to call the food traditionally eaten while watching this game a “hot dog”.
They can do it, just not as quickly and with as much aplomb.
*or*
“What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. And I have a Microsoft 365 subscription at the Business Premium level, prepaid and set to renew automatically.”
Claire does indeed have a body for sin. If I remember properly, that sin is arson.
Having read a bit of the Old Testament, I’m pretty sure I never saw Arson described as a sin. In fact, OT God is pretty big on burning things, and the scent of burning things is often sweet in his nostrils.
He’s not took keen on strange fire, on the other hand. Nadab and Abihu found that one out the hard way. Claire is still alive, though, so I think we can rule out that one.
It’s just a sin for Claire and I. It’s our-sin.
Take your upvote and go.
“SFR” on the takeaway lid… “Something Fried Rice”?
Shrimp Fried Rice, I would assume. Like Chicken Fried Rice, but not quite as good.
