Nakedmanatee's Blog o' Mirth.

In which one man, through a series of holistic misadventures, attempts to break the barriers that hinder communication using only a computer, a handful of Wheat Thins--sun-dried tomato flavor, and the Talking Heads CD, "More Songs About Buildings and Food." Guest starring Rita Moreno as herself.

Thanks for the meme

As you can see, the blog looks different. It is *under construction*--ha ha-- which means I'm f*cking around and can't get it to look how I want. Links will be back when I get time... In the meantime, check out the awesome links to Google and "Edit-Me." Those rock.

Here is a meme. Try to contain your excitement.

I love memes because they give such detailed insight into a person's everyday. ;) Here are a few questions...humor me. ;)
a) do the guests ask for the porn by title?
b) what particlar fruits are plastic?
c) what kind of vodka?

Hey Marty! Why, thank you. :) Me and the twins have an understanding. The third floor is theirs. As long as I don't go up there, no elevators of blood. It's a good system. I'm happy with it.

T-next: Why hello there! Here are some answers!
a.) No, no particular titles. Usually it's something like: "Do you guys got movies? Like...with girls in them?" I'm tempted to say something like: "Oh, you mean Little Women with Susan Sarandon and Winona Ryder?"
b.)Grapes. We have these plastic fruit baskets on the second tier. There is a balcony where you can look down upon the fountain. Teenagers find it irresistable to disengage the plastic grapes from the basket and throw them into the fountain. Ha ha, those kids! I just want to smash their little faces in!
c.) Well, I don't reealllly drink vodka at work. But if I did, it would be Stoli. We had a guest that was stinking drunk during the day, stumbling around the halls with an empty bottle of vodka. He passed out and the maids had to carry him to his room. They threw away his empty bottle and when he came to he called down to the front desk to complain that the hotel staff had hit him on the head and stole his bottle of vodka! hee hee I hope to be that man in oh, 20 years. ;)

Simone is in the hotel library? Hm. I wouldn't have guessed.

Ah yes. Well, that's just how dedicated an employee I am. I pick up books at thrift stores and sometimes I feel the urge to deposit them in the hotel library to offset the effects of the Harlequin Romances and Tom Clancy books. It feels me with subversive glee to leave Simone and Sarte next to the pulpy stuff.
