So, um, now that would make you an unpaid undead intern, right?

Aw, Public Intern, healing society one lonely heart at a time.

Dan needs to issue a cape of some sort. And tights. Definitely tights.

i think i may be way into those furry crocs. i mean i havent seen them in 3D but they look so glamourously ugly to walk the dog in the winter.

Naomi is hot.

But are you rugged and well-traveled, Will?

intern -- you have stranger personals. surely you could place an ad for her and screen the potentials...

Long Live The Stranger Intern!!!

It seems that despite his good looks, the public intern has been showing an alarming lack of enthusiasm for the tasks he is set out to do.

Those shoes are an abomination.

@9 is correct. Humanity has jumped the shark with those things.

Public Intern, help me! help me! I want to get into the pool. I'm older than Naomi, and my requirements are a little higher, since I require "intellectual" along with the other stuff. And not one of those ultra liberal wacked, pretentious, wussy Seattle guys like "Will in Seattle".

i would hit that.

and if rugged means "copious back hair", then i'm well qualified.

but mrs. solomon would not like it.

Who Pooped in the Park? It's too bad my dad's dead, I totally would've gotten him that for Christmas.

I don't understand how anyone could hate the Public Intern.

Ooh, the Intern's Halloween task could be to bring me soup and juice as I lie in bed pathetically with my second cold in one month.

Scratch that, if I had my picture taken right now it would be far beyond any horror Halloween should contain.

Wussy? Lol. I spent seven years in the Army, baby brain.

Wake me when you do something halfway interesting.

I am pretty sure I saw the public intern at the final fantasy show a week ago. Who gave that kid a fake ID?

No, I'm sorry. The last line is "Together they looked down at the espresso card and hanging from the handle was a large metal hook."

Posted by Mark | October 31, 2007 4:50 PM

Oh. I'm not into metal hooks.

Bygones.

My first reaction was "I'd hit that, if Inga ran off with the pool boy." But there's something sinister about the fact that cute woman like that doesn't already have a great guy. Either she has secret unattainable requirements ("he needs to be a buddhist *and* a member of the NRA!"), or she sabotages every relationship, or she's got morning breath that would strip paint off the walls. There's somethin'.

So I just reread the original post. "Single mom." I haven't been single in a long time- is that a big strike against somebody amongst 30-somethings? Does it depend on the temper of the kid?

Does this sleeping bag make me look desperate?

The public intern totally rocks. I heart him.

I told myself not to read these, but I couldn't help it.

Well we got much better pictures than those, like us climbing the rock, thanks to me because the intern's camera wasn't working!

The quotes weren't correct. And I actually live in Bellevue(even worse!)

Even though it wasn't a success, it was still a lot of fun. Steven may have made up some things, but he's a cool guy. I would recommend using his services.

Oh, thanks Will!

17: The public intern is of legal drinking age. Keep that in mind and send him an interesting assignment.

Why do you always complete your assignments half heartedly? Come on dude.

Well, the Public Intern DID show a lot of enthusiasm for the phonebook-tossing effort. I think part of the problem here is girls keep hiring him as some sort of date thing. (Remember the wedding?)

I think the Intern should go back to the first task and do some more weed-stomping.

I thought the library followed the market and the space needle in attractions in Seattle...

I dunno... The whole single mom thing bummed me out. I hope she's not looking for sleep over dates with her little one in the house...

Well, I can now speak with emprical authority: The Public Intern (he has a name, you know - Steven Blum) deserves double-extra-super Rockstar Status.

Thanks for the cake, for spending time with me and a few of my friends, and I hope you enjoyed that burger.

It was a great way to start my Natal Festivities!

We all need to pitch in to help single moms:

Yes Jill, because if one is just looking for a fuck buddy, the first place she would look in Seattle is REI!! Don't be such an ass!

I'm sure Naomi was expecting some form of creativity from Steven. He shoudn't have taken the assignment if he couldn't find the energy to complete it.

It is hard out here, even for us childless woman. I wish her luck!

@31:

Natal adj. Relating to or accompanying birth.

I still think the Public Intern should be tasked with tearing down the Viaduct.

Naomi is beautiful and sexy and kind and if I wasn't as gay as a lamp I'd date her in a minute! Anyone who says otherwise can just chokeonacockandaprickandacunt! You WILL find your chantico honey. You just gotta fan all these dorks and hold out for the calidaddy baby, the calidaddy!

Big Kiss!
