Did you know chewing ice is a sign of sexual frustration?

OK, what *don't* I love about this? You know I love my Grudzie, but oh, the angst! The pain! The alley! I really had to be harsh here, and quote only my Most Favouritest Parts, but I love it all.

But Dusty frowned on strangling his bartenders - "They're tough to replace, guys," he'd once said to Mark and Mo after a particularly nasty bar fight with Marsters and Boreanez. "Nobody wants to tend bar at Wavelanders, and I don't blame 'em. Cut it out."

"Steve's a great guy. Learned loads working for him. Insert standard industry bullshit here." Todd's eyes bugged a little and Mark waved him off. He could feel his nasty drunk coming out tonight, and for once he didn't really care to stop it.

Mark didn't want to be seen, but he wanted to see. He'd spent too many nights in a hospital and in his house to stay away now.

The final and only thing Mark had going for him, his astonishing recovery, was overshadowed by the Allergy King and His Now Healed Back of Cellophane.

Todd Walker looked stunned, and Mark recognized the panicked look of a

And this is the part where I exhibit my insecurities and play the "my line, min's line, mine, min's, mine, mine, mine" game. Or, you know, not in front of you.

I know I e-mailed you about Grudzie, and how we gave him everything good and he unexpectedly angsted out on us. Healed from accident? Angst. Part in movie? Angst. Free drinks on Sammy? Angst. Free blowjob from pool boy? AngstAngstANGST. You don't even want to know what he did to the puppy we gave him between scenes, just rest assured that there was angst.

And really... What *do* you say to Greg Maddux when you think he's hitting on you?

Well, is Greg hitting on me, or hitting on Grudzie? Because if it's me, you say, "OMG IF IT WILL HELP YOU WIN GAME 300 LET ME JUST BEND OVER RIGHT NOW GREG."

If you're Grudzie, maybe it's different.

I can hear it now:

Greg Maddux: Hello, may I buy you a drink?
Min: TAKE ME NOW IF IT WILL HELP YOU!
Greg Maddux: Excuse me?
Min: *to bar patrons* CLEAR THE BAR AND FIND ME CONDOMS!

On the other hand, maybe it wouldn't be that different for Grudzie...

Mark was relieved when Kerry and Prior had shown up, each with an accessory armgirl. He noted that while Prior had gone with a "sophisticated Continental" model of girlfriend, Kerry had gone for the "blonde botoxed" variety.

LOL! sophisticated continental? *snerks* sounds like a car!

"It'd be a great role for you, Todd. Make a name for yourself. I mean, Kevin did great things for Ben and Matt."

*giggles*

"MAAAARK GROOOODZIE!"

hehe.

This was Greg-Fucking-Maddux! One of the reasons Mark had ditched his dayjob to come to this hellhole of a place! The Big GM! The man who's career had created Dusty's out of nothing. Oscars, Emmies, Globes, the man was golden. Or had been about 10 years ago, and the glow still hung on him.

ah yes, i can definitely see that.

But as Mark watched him shuffle into the booth with him, he saw the wrinkles he wasn't expecting, and tired eyes. Greg Maddux was... old.

that too *nods*

he held the blond (weren’t the poolboys always blond?) at an arms length.

lol. not mine; our poolboy is greek, i think :)
