From My Lolcats

From My Orbit
Okay, I'm back, and I'm glad the P-dawg has decided to go with this (temporarily, I assume) themed column. It makes it easy for those of us, like Moosemom, who always come up with a theme for disparate letters (although it takes away the feeling of making an unusual connection — though hey, I haven't read the posts yet, so maybe MM did anyway). ...

Well, with this FMO, I leave you. For a short while. Hopefully just enough to be missed. I'm going on a little jaunt to Venus. Should be a blast. And my goodness, I think it is a little overdue, what with all the work I've been doing on the rocket ship. LW#1: Your kids killed a hamster, and you didn't tell them. At first, I was like, ''You ...

What with Labor Day, this feels like Christmas on Wednesday, except without the pie! But that's okay because I actually have pie! Apple pie! Made with some of the early Gravenstein crop that has come in. And though it is not accessible at work, I know it's at home, waiting for me to eat it tonight. And eat it I will. Then will it feel like ...

LW#1: Is this for real? Seriously, what kind of funeral director goes ahead and schedules a funeral for someone who is still alive? If this is for realsies and not a fake letter, contact your local newspaper so they can write a funny/horrifying news item about this. Also, they can shame your texting gay widow-to-be a little in the bargain. But ...

LW#1: Your gf has worn the same bra for two weeks? And you noticed? You are ahead of the game my friend, ahead of the game. For your consideration: Are you sure it's the same bra and not the same, say, make and model? Because I and other women I know, especially if we have unusual sizes or certain fit requirements, tend to buy multiples of ones ...

LW#1: Just sleep with him. If you are both ready to boink, please do boink. You may preface your boinking with, ''This has been such a lovely day. I feel so lucky to be with you. Having my friends here, sharing this time with you, seeing how thoughtful you are, blah blah blah, makes me want to get closer to you.'' Then give him a ''and by that I ...

Well, alrighty here, let's get down to beeswax, shall we? LW#1: So, okay, let me get this straight. Your sister is a knockout, so you obviously have sibling rivalry and jealousy issues going on just to start with, and in the past has drawn such attention from boyfriends that you, in a bout of insecurity, put the ultimate taint you could think of ...

Geez, these letters today. About the maximum amount of awkwardness I've had to deal with lately is telling people who call me ''Mrs. Astronaut,'' that no, I'm still ''Ms. SpaceCadet.'' You would have thought we'd have gone a little further than we apparently have, considering the surprised looks people in this blue state give me. So LW#1, you ...

LW#1: So, you brought beer and he insulted you? What a jackwad! I'm going to go out on a limb and wonder if this cop isn't so much racist as he is an asshole. Sure, he's probably got racial issues in his heart, like most every person, but before I go attributing his insulting behavior to racism against you as a black man, I would wonder, ''Did he ...

LW#1: Oh dear. It's hard to read this as anything BUT gay. So now, if I were you, I would get the gamut of STD (now called STI) tests to find out if his (obvious, clear) extramarital dalliances have given you something you really don't want besides the lying and the humiliation. Look, the dude is lying to you. Nothing but gay porn available to ...
