Murray's Tongue





This post is for my little man, Murray Man. A couple of months back, he got his tongue stuck in a toy made by Four Paws. This happened because the toy only has one small hole in it, creating a vacuum. We were at work when our dog walker called to tell us that Murray got his tongue stuck in a toy, so we aren't sure exactly how long it had been there. By the time we got home, his tongue had swollen so much that we couldn't pull the toy off. We took him to the vet where he was sedated while they cut the toy off his tongue. You can see from the pics that it was pretty gross. We were told that he would be kept sedated overnight, but would likely have to have his tongue amputated. Thankfully, by the morning, the swelling had gone down significantly and he was able to come home. Anyways, I'm posting this because I was forwarded the following link http://www.thechaistory.blogspot.com
It seems that this isn't the first time this has happened with this company's toys. Unfortunately Chai's tongue was amputated. Four Paws needs to take these destructive toys off the market, and reimburse everyone who has paid for their irresponsibility.

She walks among us.


Dang. This is one of the most awesomest Business Sneaker photo yet. And I'm not even responsible for it. Propers to Bree Housley for thinking on her feet. about other people's feet. Not to mention this is the first business skirt/business shoo combo yet. And she's just standing there! Business Shoes are there to help you haul ass, which is what makes these women so illusive. She looks like she premeditated this outfit last night. Matching bag? check. matching hair color? check. Matching shoes? fuck shoes!

Just because.

Scientists Discover Previously Undiscovered Species of Business Sneakers.


I'm not sure what to call this so I'm taking suggestions. I don't know if there is a name that will do it's awesomeness justice. And look how he's turned to the side, proudly displaying his biz shooz. It was so perfect, I wondered for a second if I was being set up. If only he'd had a sport coat on to bump up the contrast, because as is, he kinda looks like an oversized 12 year old.

There's a bomb on this bus. A fashion bomb.



The ride home last night was productive. God was looking down on the 145. Although, next time, he might consider giving me a little warning when some Biz Shooz hotness is approaching. My shutter missed two skirtsuit+nude pantyhose+biz shooz combos. If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a noise? If a lady in Business Sneakers waits for her bus on Michigan Ave., will anyone give a shit unless I capture it on John's douchey iPhone? It's like herding cats with these bitches. I guess the shoes that I so admire are the very shoes that make them so fast. Comfort=speed.
Also, Chuck did not deliver. (see previous post)

Chapter 2: Quoth the Chuck:


My blog is boring. According to Charles. And he's in charge so I think I'd better take this poor review seriously. He also said he can deliver the Holy Grail of Business Sneakers because he lives in the suburbs. He lives in the suburbs because he is old. I know he's old because he's already had to have butt surgery. And he eats dinner at 4:30. And this is his senior picture (left).

I expect the Holy Grail to be in my inbox tomorrow morning.

Business Sneakers. Chapter 1.


If you're like me, nothing is finer than spotting a business lady keeping it real and comfortable in some bright white sneakers on her commute to and from work. She doesn't care what you think. She's a walking wardrobe oxymoron and proud of it. She loves the Bridget Jones movies, TJMaxx, and her sage green couch from Pottery Barn's 1997 collection. She also likes Sex and the City, but just when it's rerun on TBS because she doesn't need to see all that thrusting.  Also, she'd like her mom to stop asking her if she's met anyone promising lately. Her life isn't terribly exciting, but dang it if she isn't gonna be comfortable living it. 

NOTE: Bonus points if she's in a skirt suit with some thick and shiny pantyhose. Bonus bonus points for scrunchy sweat socks from the 80s. 

This little prize to the left isn't a Business Sneakers Seekers dream, but she's the first one I caught on 'film,' so she'll have to do for now. She was waiting for the 135 bus on Wacker and Columbus around 5:30 on 8/14 (prime biz sneak spotting time is 5:04 pm to 5:47 pm). I hope that I can trust my people to help me top her. Just keep your eyes and iphones open, friends. She's out there, going almost unnoticed, like that alien in 'Signs' that runs through that kid's birthday party, only caught by videotape.
