Do Dogs REALLY Chase Cats...?

Now how many have agonized, anguished, languished over this perennial question, I wonder? Well, don't, anymore! Someone has the answer for you, if you don't know...





Geico Knows!

Ghost Hotel

Quickly now: solutionize me this, unriddle me that! What predicament is closer to the ultimate concept of what the sentiment of languishing can be?

Waiting to be drilled at the dentist's...?
Awaiting acceptance letters for 1001 things throughout our dreary lives, be it admission into the (supposed) dream college, getting that precious desired assignment or obtaining the green light for thy manuscript to go forth into the printer's office...?!
Waiting with baited breath for the end of the game to be absolutely sure that you (and your favourite team) will indeed savour victory and not disappointing, crushing, and oh-so-disheartening defeat?
Or - being stuck to haunt an old hotel forevermore!?

No question, in my mind: the haunting gig has to be it!

Of all the (many - oh, so many) reputedly haunted places that have been spoken about in media of all sorts, over the years, this one stands out now: and, of all places to have got it, Milwaukee has it!

The Pfister in Milwaukee is the most haunted place these days - simply due to the fact that so many ballplayers go through there as they come to town to play the miserable Brewers! But that is another story...

One might feel for the poor baseball jocks that, routinely now, get scared shitless every single time...! This is not their kind of hotel, surely - but one cannot always get what one prefers, right Sparky?

Here, on the languishing blog, we will feel for the poor ghosts -whoever they are, whoever they might have been during their living years- that have to stay put there, for whatever reason, and put up with wave after wave of classless jerks such as the Dodgers, the Pirates, the Giants - and any edition of the New York Mets!

And we won't even cover interleague play here...!

For those ghosts we languishly ask ourselves today:
just how long is eternity again?!?



This is the lobby of the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. The Pfister is Milwaukee's most regal address, having hosted every U.S. president since William McKinley and scores of celebrities. Today it's the place to stay for upscale business travelers and out-of-town visitors, including many Major League Baseball teams, authors and politicians.

So... When Will It End?

Not to paraphrase (at all) Phil Collins in his classic video "Billy" (or rather "BILLY - Don't You Lose My Number!" - but that is just too much detail, methinks!)

But we could ask ourselves this simple question, now more than ever:
what, with all that craze about 2012, the Mayan calendar, Edgar Cayce prophecies, 11/11/11, the Antichrist and whatever Nostradamus had to say about the whole damn thing...

Hey - it all dawned on us NOW - income tax season 2011 (how fitting) - when will the craziness all end?!?

You are MANY - so many - to ask the exact same question...
