I have a 10 O’Clock deadline but I’m doing this instead. Because I love you.

Oh internet, we moved!!!! No longer must we wake up to the sight of the depressed, cigarette chewing Poor staring into our windows (and souls) day in and day out. I cannot tell you how happy this makes us. Although, we never got to stand out on our tiny fake balcony and flip The Poor the big shiny bird like we had planned but whatever and fuck them anyway because we have a real balcony now and the Poor are not allowed on it unless they would like to clean it in exchange for a sandwich or a Mickey’s Big Mouth.

And yes, Dane fell off the vagon about a week ago and he has been pussying out on telling the internet about it super busy with some big deadline thing that has to do with Nike? Or HP? I don’t really know what he does but I do know there’s a lot of type type typing on the computer and then we get a paycheck. It’s kind of just like what I do on the computer only instead of money I get the POWER and the GLORY. Sometimes I get recognized at nearby area mexican restaurants. Anyway, same same, right?

On our first night at the new place we came home after several celebratory pitchers of margarooties with Megan and Justin and immediately, because we are responsible pet owners who care about the health and mental well being of our animals, let ZZ out of her cage kennel and took her out to pee. Which she did. On the rug. In the foyer. In front of the security camera of our new apartment building.

God. And Dane almost had an embolism about it because he is tired and this is his first dog and whenever she does something she shouldn’t - like poop in the hallway or eat a whole kid - he panics.
Luckily for the both of us, and for our marriage, our new building is about 150% populated with gay dog owners who recently moved here from New York - the most unflappable, capable and funny of the gay dog owning specimen. The one who helped us was named Lucas and he misses New York SO MUCH. He was incredibly helpful (especially considering how incoherent and tequila-y I was) and ran up to his apartment to get us paper towels and Nature’s Miracle and then helped us clean up the pee.

We need to do something nice for him so help me, internet, and give me your suggestions as to what would be the perfect thank you gift for the gay dog owning Nature’s Miracle wielding New York SO MUCH missing Lucas?

It might help if you told us where you live now. Not exactly, of course (stalkers, etc), but which neighborhood? Then we’d be able to apply more stereotypes than just “gay and dog-owning” to him, and then we can make sure the thank-you gift is truly offensive.

An “I heart my daddy(s)” tee shirt for the dog.

Like Chris, I live in New York so i immediately thought of plane tickets. But don’t you have a Gay-Mart in Portland?

Rainbow-colored anything is a big hit with gay men here in the Big Apple, so a rainbow colored dog leash or set of buttplugs or something would probably be greatly appreciated and result in a dinner invitaion.

I’m sorry, I got hung up on the fact that you got recognized at the local Mexican restaurant.

Can you please give me lessons? I HAVE NEVER BEEN RECOGNIZED. And I want to be. Very, very badly. Very badly. Like a lot.

I like to go disproportionate with thank you gifts. He got you paper towels, you give him a bottle of champagne, and delicious cake, and a bag of dog treats. They’ll just have to invite you over to share the cake and champagne. Unless they are recovering alcoholics, vegan, and their dog has allergies. In which case, don’t worry about it, the friendship is doomed.

One word. Cacao.

Just don’t let the dog near the bacon infused caramel truffles.
