Dear JM,

That picture with the Panda makes me hot!! Does that mean I've got what it takes to be a Marine?

Dear Anonymous,

I'm afraid you have what is clinically called a disease called Panda -Humpalotomus, that really doesn't qualify you to be a Marine. It will also disqualify you from working in the zoo. However I do hear that certain doctors in Thailand can change you into a panda, or a mexican for a small fee. Whichever side of that bizarre love triangle you choose to take part in feel free. Hopefully my advice has been of some help.

Sincerely

J.m (Julio)

JM,
I'm in a desolate NE state, where it snowed 3 days before spring and the beer in my garage froze. My real problem is I'm a confirmed bachelor who's gonna get married next year, and one of my groomsmen is traipsing around the Far East where his stature is average. How can I convince him that falling off bicycles in foreign lands while collecting my tax money is not more important than being drunk at my wedding? And the bachelor's party in Boston beforehand.

Rarely sincere,
-Rory
P.S. He's really too short for the rest of the wedding party, should I recommend 8" stillettos with his dress blues?
 
Dear Rory, 
    It sounds like you have a problem common to people who have been stuck in cold-weather far too long.  My beer froze once too.  I'm not sure about the rest of it.  But mistreating a beer is a sin.  Before any wedding is planned say three hail Rolling Rocks, and one praise Corona.  As to being in a desolate NE state... damn that sucks.  And Spike heels are only attractive on the hot chicks that the groomsmen must have delivered to him before he'll can ethically agree to any plans.
 
Sincerely,
J.m. (Julio)

JM,
I just broke up with my fiancee b/c I could tell that we both were no longer
happy. Now all he does is lie about me and spread rumors about me to anyone
that will even try talking to him. I'm a good person and I have a big
heart, I just let him talk b/c I know my friends don't believe him, but when
people I don't even know and don't know how great of a person I am start to
talk about me, it hurts. I'm going crazy and I don't know what to do.
Thank you,
Kittie

Dear Kittie,

J.M. and I sat down and read the letter you mailed... We're both going to put some input in on this one. I tried to get in touch with my feminine side for a second and realized I was getting a little too carried away when J.M. walked in on me painting my nails and reading Glamour. Regardless, here's my take on your situation: The former fiancé' sounds like he's using a very immature defense mechanism to deal with the break up the two of you went through. I'm not sure if you've tried confronting him about the things he's saying. If you haven't, you should. Be the stronger, more mature person here, and maybe one day when he pulls his head out of his ass he'll realize how immature his actions were. If mis-informed people approach you with rumors they've heard from him, set them straight. If they hear you out and take the time to get a different perspective of you, they'll prove themselves as worth while friends. If not, forget about them and rely on your true friends to back you up and support you. In the interim, go out, party your keister off like its 1999 (but not really because that already happened), and try to take your mind off things. You're young. Have fun and enjoy the adventures life has to offer. If you get bored, hit me and J.M. up and we'll take you out with our crew for some sweet Japanese party-age.

The man with the Tan in Japan,

Dave

Dear Kittie,

Dave and myself, though licensed internet reverends, are not actual advice guru's. We pretend for the sake of cheap humor at our own expense. However, you actually seem to be looking for advice so we are making our responses known. Basically, your ex sounds like he's insecure. He's hurt and doesn't agree with your decision. As long as you are happy with it, that's all that matters. When you hear stranger being rude, ignore them. Strangers are dumb... that's why they always use rusted black vans to abduct innocent children (my parents still tell me not to talk to strangers, especially when they have candy and smell like chicken soup). As for your friends, they know you and I'm sure they'll do the same thing mine do... harass you when you least want it and defend you when you most need it, or more importantly, take you out and force you to have a good time. Believe me I know (after all, my arm is in a sling, and they make me go out when all I want to do is drink paint thinner and relax). Mostly what I'm saying is, it's hard to ignore the crap that you may hear from others, but if they are so closed minded to use another persons prejudices against you, without hearing your side of the story or actually meeting you, they don't matter. So go out, have fun, and just enjoy yourself. Everything will get back to how you want it.

Sincerely,

J.M. (Julio)

JM,
I'm alone in Japan and have not found anything to make me happy. If you were in my shoes what would you do to keep from finding yourself in a drunken stupor wandering the halls of the SNCO barracks. Any advice you can provide will not be held against you.

~I choose to remain anonymous

 

Dear Anonymous,

From the sounds of it, you have yet to fully embrace the true joys of drinking. Wandering any hallway in a drunken stupor is a blessing (trust me, I'm a liscensed internet Reverend), think of all the children in Haiti who can't find anything to drink, or have tried to drink paint-thinner (not that I'm knocking paint-thinner for you fans of the raw alcohol flavor). Perhaps you should try a different quality of alcohol. If beer is what is bringing you down, then move on... it's not the beer's fault that you are not enjoying it... it is your fault.

Sincerely

J.m. (Julio)

advice for anonymouse from jbugg....quit being a (the word that was originally here was ommitted due to its explicit content.  Jbug has a very dirty mouth. ~dave) and find a ho.

March 18th 2004,

Jbug,
Don't like my advice do you?  I bet you just want to meet anonymous, don't you.  Get him all hopped up on paint -thinner, and treat him like I did your Mama?  Stick to putting things in your mouth and keep the advice to the The Honorable Internet Reverend.
