When I am lost, adrift at sea, feeling overwhelmed by life, I often ask myself WWBSD, "What would Bill Steubine do?" (Yes, THE Senator Steubine) And, like a bright, guiding beacon in the distance, the sage wisdom of the senator illuminates my thoughts. The whisper in my head replies, "Get an intern for the Whole Pretty." And just like that, a SOLUTION: uncompensated labor. So simple, so global, so NOW. Pug and I wasted no time making a list of our needs and placing an Ad.
I didn't dream we would get someone who fit all our criteria, but low and behold, Leroy. While he doesn't play the fiddle, he is ACES on the recorder and very cute and adept at MAN'S WORK. It is critical to the success of this partnership that you understand the proper pronunciation of Leroy's name. He is very sensitive about it. It is luh-ROY, accent on the 2nd syllable like luh-BRON James. And, no LONG EEEEEEE. Not LEE-roy, NO, luh-ROY. Violet and I couldn't care less about his quintessentially bullsh*t bachelors in communications from FSU that all the kids are getting today. No. what really cinched it for pug and me was when Leroy said that in addition to occasional lean protein snacks, he would require "butt loads" of whiskey. Fair enough Leroy, fair enough. So that will look something like this:
Touche, Leroy. We at The Whole "sick ass" Pretty know a thing or two about lean protein and booze. Welcome to the team my friend. Welcome home.


can't wait to meet luh-roy...and have a whiskey with.
ReplyDeleteLuh-roy sounds like an excellent choice, Lizzie. You just make sure he doesn't get any ideas about a workers' union or any other such left-leaning concepts.
ReplyDeleteGood point AT. Good point.
ReplyDeleteLuh-Roy & whiskey, I will see you both very soon!
