The Next To Last Monday Mission

PromoGuy's Monday Mission 3.52

1. So, what did you get for Christmas?

I don't know. Since most of my family is in show-biz, we don't get together until after Christmas. We're getting together on New Years Day to exchange gifts.

2. Are you returning any gifts you were given for Christmas?

I don't know, but based on experience, probably not.

3. For me, the best part of Christmas being over is that there will be no more Fran Drescher "Old Navy" commercials. Ugh, bring back Morgan Fairchild! What is the best part of Christmas being over?

Yeah, I'd have to agree that Fran Drescher disappearing off the TV would be the best part. I wish she'd take Kirstie Alley with her.

4. Used to be, we would always get together with friends and have Margaritas on New Year's Eve (though time has passed and friends drift apart, so not anymore, sadly). My Grandma always makes sure to eat Black Eyed Peas on N.Y.E. I know of another couple who "do it" on NYE, and time it to reach their "peak" right at 12:00 AM! Do you have any traditions each year for New Year's Eve?

It's one of the ones you mentioned. Guess which one.

5. If you could go back into 2003 and change just one thing, or get a "do over," what would you do?

I wish I spent less time in the office and more time outdoors fishing and hiking.

6. Is there anything you want to accomplish in 2004 that seems within reach?

I'd like to get out of the legal profession and start my own magazine. I think I'd like to call it George.

/getting terrible sense of deja vu

7. Is your online personality very different from what it would be like if I were meeting you in "real life?"

Sorry, that information is classified. Suffice it to say that you would be very very impressed.

BONUS: What you gonna do when you get out of jail?

I'm gonna knock over the Piggly Wiggly and head for Mexico.

Today's Comment Question: Once the Monday Mission is gone, what meme (weekly Question and Answer) will you pick to replace it?

Sorry, you're irreplacable!

This And That

What is it about shopping in Victoria's Secret that intimidates me? I go in and I'm the only man in the place. I start shopping around nervously like I'm in the porno section of the local video rental place waiting for someone from my church choir to spot me. I've noticed other men acting this way as well when they're in there. I wasn't even buying anything that risqué for my wife; just some silk pajamas. Sheesh.

I was watching Law & Order, Criminal Intent last night. I've got a pet peeve with that show. It's that every defense attorney I see ought to be sued for malpractice! They sit there like a potted plant while Detective Goren does his leaning over while browbeating the suspect act. They say little or nothing while they let their client spill their guts. What lawyer is going to put up with that crap? Hey, I'd tell them my client's got nothing to say and if anybody wants to talk deal, I'll talk to the D.A. off the record. I hope last night's accused stopped payment on that check to her lawyer.

Lastly, regarding NBC's new show The Apprentice, it would take a lot more than $250,000 a year to work for Donald Trump. Nothing less than 750 large. I know, I once represented an architect that sued him for his fee. Nuff said.
