Just came back to see if you had updated and realized I missed the pull quote the first time around. LOVE that pull quote.

The lady. She no home. Classic.

Les Says: Damn. I just realized that I didn’t put one up for the latest post. Thanks for reminding me!

Is the job still open ?

Les Says: It is if you do windows.

The search is on. Now, let me get this straight: You want a flatulant Yummy Muummy who does not speak educated English and is brave enough to scare the bejabbers out of the kids and can remember where you dropped your camera and knows what a refrigerator is made for. Is that right?
Sorry, if I had one of those, I don;’t think I’d share.

Les Says: “Yummy Mummy”? Ewww. No. You can have that one.

Flatulent in cat would be bad. Cat farts stink almost as bad as husband farts.

And if you get any applicants from down south who don’t want to relocate to the tundra, let me know.

Les Says: I’ll trade you two flatulent cats (and a large, hairy, apparently cat-flatulent Texan) for one flatulent husband, assuming he does dishes, what say?

PS Welcome back to the blogosphere. You’ve been missed.

When you fire her after she dances into something and breaks it, send her my way please, I have no breakables.

Les Says: I have nothing valuable OR breakable. Just dirty stuff I’m sick of cleaning.

As long as they come with their own shoes, it’s a deal Claire doesn’t share…

Les Says: Here’s to the Shoeless Nanny Movement.

Hmm, if you reject anyone for the job, send ‘em along to me. I really need somebody that can do laundry and fetch me drinks

Les Says: You can have any transvestites that apply. Deal…?

Hey, I would like one of those, too. Let me know how that goes, and if the one you find has a sibling.

Les Says: I dunno… I’m kind of liking the idea of going TO the Nanny - the temporary, bloggery kind. You know, like, when I get to Minnesota, the Ref-Nanny could have the “Here is your gun, Lady,” phrase memorized. And the Long Lens-Nanny could have the “Here, I caulked this for you, Lady,” phrase memorized. And, to be fair, EVERYBODY could feed me and hand me a drink in turn.

I thought for a split second that you said “flatulent in cat.” Got that covered babe. I guess the difference between a guy and gal in this search may be that I didn’t notice a requirement for sexuall favors in the deal. Personally, I’d want her to be skilled, scrub me down with a very expencive suds in a shower the size of a small house, and leave me smilin’ like the cat that nabbed the canary. That’s just me though.

Les Says: “Flatulent in Cat” would probably work, too…

Best of luck in your search…I figure if I can’t get my wife to do all that it’s going to be simply impossible to train another to do the job!

Les Says: Guess that answers the nagging question of “Maybe I should be advertising for a ‘wife’ instead…?” Thanks for the heads-up, Mushy.
