Have you got a gripe, an axe to grind, a hatchet to bury (in someone's back), a point to prove?

An itch to scratch?

Are you anxious?

Then you need to ask the Agony Ant, your very own 24-7 advice columnist on demand! Go on, it's all strictly confidential!! It's fun for the whole family!
 
Dear Ant O' the Agony,

I have a problem that no one thus far has been able to help me with. You see, I am truly madly deeply in love with my ex boss. He doesn't make it easy for me though. I feel he is out to sabotage every attempt I make to make him the happiest man on earth. He even went so far as to sack me from my workplace, claiming harrassment. How can it be harrassment when we are meant to be together? I sent him daily emails, reaffirming my love for him, and he never once said a thankyou for it. I even had to resort to including everyone in the office on the emails, so he would see I was genuine. He didn't see. I tried stopping his wife calling the office by running to answer his phone, telling her that he was going to leave her one day and that she should stop calling him so he could do his work. He was a very busy man, you know. At times, I even had to raise my voice so she would hear me clearly, she always got very irate at me and said many nasty things. She was highly irrational over the whole thing. Some people just can't accept such things I think. But she is not my problem. Not now anyway, as she is buried in my backyard.
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to even talk to him lately, as the conditions of the restraining order stipulate that I cannot go within 50 metres of him. I have to stand quite far from his front door now to even get his attention. I feel his neighbours support me though, they come outside often and yell at us to work it out. They're a nice bunch of people. He has finally given up on changing his phone number, which is handy. I make the effort to call when he is not there so I can leave messages on his answering machine. At least now some of what I am saying is getting through.
So while fate has put many obstacles in my path, I am working to overcome these, but remains the problem of getting him to see things from my point of view.
Please help me, Dear Ant.

Signed,
Crazy in Cooktown

BEAUTIFUL.:wink:
 
Man you picked the wrong group of people to offer advice to. Let me know if you need an assistant.
 
Dear Crazy in Cooktown, if I may for a moment take the role of your dog Harvey: "the crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe".

Clearly your former boss must now see the error of his ways, much as the former Soviet states crumbled under the weight of history. As Edward the Duke of Windsor once said: "I could have been king but now I just live in the south of France". As Franklin D Roosevelt may have pondered, we have nothing to fear except death, life and everything else. You and I both know that your former boss has no choice but to submit to your attentions.
 
dear agony ant,

today my dog (hes doberman, for the record) asked me the meaning of life. i stumbled with the question, and attempted to scald him with boiling water to end the uneasy moment. unfortunately, he in response bit my left arm off by the elbow, and the two of us arent talking anymore. so i ask you these questions two.

1) what is the meaning of life?

2) how can i win back the friendship of my dog?

The lemonade stand is especialy entertaining tonight.

Perhaps that has to do with the fact that I'm deathly ill, drugged up and high as a kite.

Dear agony ant:

What kind of medicine can you recommend for this mad-cow-disease-SARS-monkey pox epidemic that has plagued my bedroom of late? And is it bad if my brain is swelling?

Dear Agony Ant,

My teddy bear from childhood, Mr Beah, has developed several behavioural problems as of late. He is constantly out at the pubs, getting drunk and chasing ladies. He keeps trudging back to my apartment, and what with his being so cute and cuddly, and having been given me by my sister, I just can't turn him away. I've tried to show him a healthier way of life but he won't go for it. It's truly affecting him-- lately he's been calling me "Mr Miyagi" and muttering "wax on, wax off"

He won't go to AA and the so-called "doctors" at the hospital say there's nothing that can be done for him. I'm so very worried about him...yesterday he tried to go swimming in the toilet! Please help...

My Bear's gone bad!
 
Dear Concerned in Canada: To quote the late Bertrand Russell, "I never saw a piece of ass I didn't like"(damned socialist). The meaning of life is a mysterious thing and you should consult your doberman further to read the entrails, as it were. To win back the friendship of your doberman you must dance naked under the cold moonlight. As Robert Frost once wrote, "life isn't meant to be easy, but your ass is mighty pleasing". Ask not what your dog can do for you, but what pieces of flesh you can give your dog.
 
Dear agony ant,

The newfoundland fishery recently closed indefinitly leaving thousands of newfs without work. This will ultimately lead to a greater dependance of social assistance which the federal government is not willing to completely handle. It is plain from this that the current government, though liberal, is not liberal enough. What actions can I, a mere base commoner, take to change the society in which I live?

Agonizing Ant,

I need some advice.

Nothing specific. Just random advice.

Do you know the meaning of life?

Also, should I feel inferior for having about 700 posts in the span of 3 years as a member of this forum?

Dear Agony O' the Ant,

Is beige really the new black? See, I weigh an astronomical amount and find that black is very slimming, With the right co-ordinates in black, I can achieve the Kate Moss look quite easily. I find however, with beige I just look like a giant stuffed mushroom. Do you think the stuffed mushroom look will ever be in? My tarot reader recommends I avoid salty foods and men called Geoff with large bushy beards. However, my friend Nancy says that my planets are aligning and now is the time to look for that tall dark stranger. Her chart says this weekend is the time, so we are planning a trip out to the Rebels Australia Motorcycle Club annual pig spit roast and brawl do at their local pub.

Should I wear the beige? We dont know any of these people and we want to make the right impression, especially if any are called Geoff.

Celestially yours,
Nova in Ningan
 
Dear Nubile in Nimben, black is the new beige and gray is the new way. As Malcolm Muggeridge once sagely observed, "my nipples explode with the light!" Clearly your biker friend Geoffrey will be on the lookout for black leather and spikes. To make the right impression you need only remember the words of Britain's first Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole: "the citizens are revolting".
 
Dear man who is confident in his sexuality, I sense ambivalence in your letter. You must lead a permanent revolution against the Man. To quote the late philosopher-king Ramses II, you must remember the great importance of killing the bastards.
