Ruthie breaks the US
August 24, 2007 by Ruthie
Ruthie is shortly off for her annual holiday to the States, and also, hopefully finally a liason with the commanding and mysterious Dan Hull, for whom she has long held a torch.
Ruthie spoke to him on the phone this week only to discover that he sounds disconcertingly like Woody Allen. Lets hope his sexual preferences are a little more mundane.
Watch this space to see if Ruthie’s travels take her via a Las Vegas wedding chapel or no further than the local burger bar. Otherwise the guaranteed highlight of the tour is the Harley Davidson factory.
You haven’t got a chance he can get classy girlfriends
That’s what I get for making tinny calls out-of-breath from parking lots in 100 degree heat in Fox Chapel, PA. But what self-respecting woman (even an English one) would still be interested in a guy who sounded like Woody Allen? If I go to see you, maybe I should just wear a dress, like the Brit guys you are used to…
It does astound me how so many women do find Woody Allen attractive; there is a section of womankind that finds vulnerable men appealing. Ruthie does too: coated with garlic and lightly grilled. Rest assured Dan, you may sound like Woody over the satellite link, but I’ve always thought you were anything but vulnerable.
As for men wearing dresses, I’m sure that’s a capital offence in many US States. Don’t be fooled: VM may be in a dress but he has a mind like a razor. In any event, rest assured dear readers, despite appearances our relationship is purely professional. In fact, I have yet to meet VM.
Come on Dan get over your dress jealousy: you’re a Republican & we all know you guys wear dresses in private: Geez, Raymond Burr, J. Edgar Hoover.
So, what style do you like mini’s? or is a culotte thing?
Just asking. Don’t answer if you are uncomfortable.
So true: the people that protest the most are usually the ones in denial.
Given the number of “family values” republicans getting caught in brothels/illicit affairs/homosexual relationships you’d think that the Bush administration would learn that the “sin” of unorthodox consensual sexual activity is of less consequence than the sin of hypocrisy, with its attendant prospects of bribery and corrupution.
Personally I know not and care less whether VM wears dresses or indeed an Easter Bunny suit in private.
Okay, GL, so you got me and mine figured it out….Can we get Mr. Rogers, Alan Alda or some other sensitive guy types besides us to comment?…I have to go write a poem right now.
Oh Dan, maybe its time to nuture your sensitive side… I’m certainly sure your associates would be grateful if you stopped flogging them for half an hour.
Don’t remind me of those lazy cretins…
As it happens… I am sitting in my Staterooms wearing a sarong…. a bit like a towel. I also had to wear kilts every bloody Sunday when i was at schools in Scotland.
Mind you, when I write my posts to Charon, I always wear Black Tie - just like the BBC newsreaders in days gone by.
Ruthie - you will, I am sure, find the meeting with Dan enjoyable. My meeting with him, in London - for a podcast, was but a brief encounter and he certainly had no designs on me. His eyes did sparkle a bit when he saw my sound editor - a rather attractive young woman.
Dan… read Jurassic Park… and look up ‘raptor’ in Wikipedia. It will help… I have met Ruthie…. She is, shall we say, direct and she is a biker, after all
have fun…
To Dan: be careful what you write about your employees on this site, my logs shows a suspiciously high number of hits coming from your general direction.
To Dan’s employees: whats it worth if I can charm Dan sufficiently to give you all a day off? (OK well half a day then, lets not be too ambitious). I appreciate you can’t comment on here otherwise Dan will no doubt have you cast out into the legal wilderness, after reading you some of his poetry first, but you can mail me with gossip and inducements at the usual address: ruthie[at]3mail.com
To charon: stop teasing Dan. You’re no doubt exciting him and terrifying him in equal measure. If you get his hopes up too much I’ll never be able to live up to the expectations…
Anyway, given that I am a litigation lawyer, I’d hate to disabuse you of the “raptor” image, which can only boost my legend…
And if I truly was in the business of using my vast cunning to exploit young men, it might be considered that I could pick easier targets than middle aged commercial lawyers…
oooo ruthie, that hurt… “middle aged commercial lawyers….”
have you booked that chapel yet?
you could always swing by Toronto, when you are done with Dan.
whoa–stuff happens when I am away…feel so left out.
