Ms Fits is an irritatingly smug 32 year-old television writer who yearns to be Bob Ellis but will settle for Bob Hart. At least he gets free meals. Pompous nobjockey.

TUE01APR

Dinner with the ladies.





Lee: So have you seen that tiny poet guy again?





Fluffy: What tiny poet guy?





Me: You know, that tiny poet guy I hung out with for a bit. He played ukulele and he had these wee little arms.





Fluffy: Oh, that's right.





Me: He was like a thalidomide child.





Sugar: (looking alarmed) Ahem.





Me: What?





Sugar: (pointing urgently and discreetly to the side) Just...a-hem.





Me: (realising that against all odds a thalidomide-affected lady must be sitting at the next table and suddenly horrifically embarrassed) Oh god. Subject change. Anyway. No big deal. I haven't seen him in years.





Sugar: Are you...right?





Me: Yeah, fine. Should we order more wine? Let's get more wine.







* fifteen minutes later*






Me: Christ. Why didn't someone tell me my boob was poking out of my dress?





Sugar: I did!





Me: When?





Sugar: I was pointing at it before!





Me: I thought you were trying to tell me there was a thalidomide lady at the next table!





Sugar: What? Why?





Me: Because I thought I was being awkward and inappropriate again!





Sugar: You were! Your nipple was on display and then I pointed it out and you said you didn't care and just ordered more wine!





Me: I really am the definition of class.





Fluffy: You should invest in a new button.

I once asked a customer who was struggling with an armful of goods, "Do you need a hand?"

She turned around and in this horrible moment I saw she was missing her right arm from the elbow down. Forcing a grimace, I apologised and said, "I bet this happens all the time."

Apparently not. So I went and hid in the office and watched the cameras until she left the store.

What the hell? So we're never going to hear about the tiny poet guy?

Rustique said...
Yes Tiny Poet Guy is never short of a word.

I would like to immediately apologise for the above attempts at pun. My actions were reckless and I thank my family for their ongoing support at this time. I ask that the media understand that this is a deeply personal time for myself and my family.

At least your boob still 'pokes out' instead of 'hangs out'....

You made a complete boob of yourself.

But thanks for keeping us abreast of things.

I nearly spit coffee all over my screen.
Sugar could have said a bit more than repeating her A-hem though. I'm imagining fifteen more minutes of Sugar (AND Fluffy) checking out your boob.

God how big are your boobs if you're going braless?

I'm always chipper to greet the boob interested to see the world.I imagine boobette speaking of John Laws tongue“Hello World” she might say.

I’ve nearly tripped over one or two boob spills,or it may have been my feet.I am always slow to speak up.I have wondered how it happens and why the owner fails to realise, but I don’t really care for the answer.

It actually reminds me of a song,of which I have never sung of course, only ever heard .I can only remember the chorus

“Get your tits out while your eating, Get your tits out in a meeting ”

Get your tits in the sands, Get your tits out for the fans”

With those highbrow lyrics, how could one not do as the song says

I use to ask a question, then answer it. Now I decide politely

Isn't it about time ms fits posted her tits again? Or does anyone have a link? Google was fruitless.

There's not nearly enough nipples in restaurants these days.

And there's probably too many tiny poets. There's too many poets, really. What's the hit/miss ratio of a good poet these days? One in a thousand?

no buttons.. nipples are better on display. I like nipples. marieke rocks

So many questions...

Did your friend think it was some sort of bold fashion statement? Or did she just think you were giving them air?

Didn't you notice the cool breeze?

Some of those puns were hilarious.

Look up in the top right hand corner of this post. Is that a depiction of Ms Fits playing a banjo?

You're better off being a tall poet, Squib. Dylan Thomas was the only fucken dwarf that gave us half decent poesy. Even better than being a tall poet would be being a merchant banker. There's more sex and drugs. Poets can't afford drugs, and they only get to shag other poets and let's face it, poets are renowned for their questionable hygeine.

Thanks for the story Ms fits.
And to all you people who thought Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" was a lie, I say "ha ha, youse were wrong".
PS hope you had one of Janet's nipple thingees on. Otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.

By the way, if you watch the JTV vodcast in the interview with Rownan Whats-his-face, there is some serious boobage. Look at him try and keep his eyes off it, it's hysterical.

Zing, anonymous, you and I must be watching it at exactly the same time.

david said...
These comments include the terms 'tits', 'breast(s)' and 'nipple(s)'- those terms do not appear in the original narrative (at least not in our heroine's voice). This is not a simple curiosity, it is the most important aspect of the story narrated above. Now I'll tell you why. Our heroine has not selected the term 'boob' indiscriminately. The selection of this term is a deliberate attempt to obviate the significance of the terms 'breast' and even more significantly 'tit'. This is an attempt to relieve and deflect the cathexis or libidinal energy that the term 'tit' expresses. I am not prepared to say that our heroine is therefore alienated from her own woman's body, but this does suggest an attempt to 'normalise' the eroticism associated with the phenomenal flesh of the breast in our society. Maybe our heroine needs to become more alienated to be able to smash the signification of the breast to pieces and become enfleshed once again- perhaps she needs to go beyond the need to justify the existence of her flesh and affirm its excess of the phallic imperative to signify castration. Lets not forget that my point in all this is that while earlier comments elide the terms 'breast' 'tit' and 'boob' our heroine knows only too well that these terms are critically different, in ways that cut right at the experience of the embodied carnality of sexual difference (apologies to Fyodor D.).

Ah, predictably the horrendous faux pas of the meme is followed up by a tried and tested 'HAY GUIZ I GOT MY TITS OUT AND NOW YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT ME NAKED BECAUSE I AM SOO HOT AND THEY ARE SOO MUCH BETTER THAN MYF'S DONTCHATHINK? PLEASE SAY YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT ME NAKED. COME ON.'

High brow it is not ;)

Perseus: there's too many poets in this world because some moron decided it was unfair that poetry had to rhyme. Apparently, it was unjustly discriminating against the mentally retarded.

And you see? Now even thalidomide babies are writing poetry. It's enough to make any decent girl want to flaunt her nipples at a dining table ...

Anon 18:47 a merchant banker good poet? Good God! You'd have to add up and stuff

Mad Cat Lady said...
Oh god! The waxy build-up
It driveth me insane
I must do something to release the pressure
That causes me such pain

Ah … sweet relief. Bliss.
But please don’t reveal my sin
For instead of using cotton buds
I’ve used a bobby pin

Thou I maintain it is more sensible
As buds just push wax back in
It is more efficient to scrape it out
With the loop of a bobby pin

Still I know it makes people shudder
And I can’t really claim impeccable hygiene
Cause when I clean the bobby pin
I wipe it on my jeans

squib said...
Waxing lyrical? lol

That's very good MCL. If you weren't in competition with me for Alan Brough I'd say we should be friends
02Apr18:44
perseus said...
Squib: I was suggesting you should be a merchant banker instead of being a poet. Cos of the better sex and drugs. Unless you're as good as Mad Cat Lady. "...I wipe it on my jeans." Gold.

Persey, I don't even like being the banker in Monopoly. Handing out money every time someone passes Go, it's so exhausting, subtracting and so on and then when people get hotels or they mortagage their properties it turns into a major headache

I think YOU should be the merchant banker

Hi. Guess I should've been more specific. Google Image Search, safe search off with 20 images per page, and it's the last image on the FIRST page. It's nothing lewd or lascivious. It's just this http://vh1.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/commodore64.jpg , with 'Marieke Hardy' underneath. I thought it was a little bit funny.

You're a class act, as always, Ms Fits.

I wish I'd taken you home to meet my parents when I had the chance ...

This sounds similar to a few dining experiences I have had... I have a knack for being inappropriate *most* of the time...

"Errr....NS, your nipple is taking a dive in your soup...."
