			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear Murray,</strong></p>
<p><strong>My fiance&#8217; was in an abusive marriage before I met her.  Her ex-husband is like the King of Douches.  How can I deal with this problem without involving police, or at least becoming a suspect?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Overprotective in Wisconsin</strong></p>
<p>Haha. Sucks to be you! Here, you thought you were just settling in for some easy regular action. Now, you&#8217;ve gone and gotten yourself in the plot of a <em>Lifetime</em> movie. On the plus side, at least you&#8217;re banging Valerie Bertinelli.</p>
<p>There are two main reasons a dude beats his woman. Either she taped over the Super Bowl with some RuPaul Drag Race bullshit, or the dude&#8217;s got a dick about the right size to fill an ant&#8217;s twat (and still leave room for a reacharound). Since you didn&#8217;t fess up to beating her any, too, we&#8217;re gonna have to guess it&#8217;s the latter.</p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s the other part that sucks for you. Lifetime movies always end the same way. Someone burns a bed, and your ass gets sent to the pokey. Now, if this was HBO, there&#8217;d be an insurance policy out on you, and she&#8217;d be banging Christian Slater.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a little quiz, and see just which movie you&#8217;re in. Don&#8217;t anybody go and steal my thunder and start a Facebook &#8220;Which Domestic Violence Movie Are You?&#8221; quiz, either. I&#8217;ve got dibs on that shit.</p>
<p><em><strong>Is your fiancee&#8230;</strong></em><br />
Attractive? (1 point)<br />
Uglier than Blair&#8217;s retarded cousin from the Facts of Life? (3 points)<br />
Ridiculously Hot? (5 points)</p>
<p><em><strong>Is her ex&#8230;</strong></em><br />
Fat and Hairy? (1 point)<br />
Danny Glover? (3 points)<br />
A creepy-looking dude with a porno &#8216;stache? (5 points)</p>
<p><em><strong>Are you&#8230;</strong></em><br />
As dull as the token cartoon &#8220;good guy?&#8221; (1 point)<br />
More afraid of your fiancee than of him? (3 points)<br />
One of them sensitive drama teacher types? (5 points)</p>
<p>Now, add up your score, and let&#8217;s see how you did.</p>
<p><strong>1-5 points:</strong><br />
You&#8217;re <strong>Beauty and the Beast</strong>.<br />
Dude may talk some mad shit, saying &#8220;I can change!&#8221; but all in all, you&#8217;ve got nothing to worry about. Your problems are G-rated.</p>
<p><strong>6-10 points:</strong><br />
You&#8217;re <strong>The Color Purple</strong>.<br />
You may feel like you want to like you want to cut the dude&#8217;s junk off while he&#8217;s sleeping, but he ain&#8217;t worf it, Miss Seeley. Call that dude&#8217;s bluff one time, and he&#8217;ll be all apologetic and sending her flowers. If he starts sending <em>you</em> flowers, then that&#8217;s a different movie, entirely. Sleep with one eye open and, whatever you do, don&#8217;t drop the soap.</p>
<p><strong>11-15 points:</strong><br />
You&#8217;re <strong>Sleeping With the Enemy</strong>.<br />
Dude, you&#8217;re fucked. There&#8217;s gonna be bullets flying, and one of you is gonna die. You&#8217;d better take that woman to a shooting range, because it&#8217;s gonna be all up to her at the end, while your ass is knocked out on the floor.</p>
<p>Now that you know what you&#8217;re up against, there&#8217;s only one thing left to do. RUN! While you still can.</p>
<p>Now leave me the fuck alone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear Murray:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Help me out please. I need an idea of how to exact my revenge without getting arrested.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s why:<br />
I&#8217;ve worked at this piece of shit company for a little over a year now. I was hired to do HR work and instead I get to do bullshit secretary work. The execs at this place are all chauvinistic pigs (I wasn&#8217;t aware of this when I accepted the job) and have spent the last year showing me exactly how little they respect me.</strong></p>
<p><strong>First my ideas were dismissed. Then I was ignored. Then I was really ignored. Then my ideas were stolen. Then I heard I wasn&#8217;t taken seriously because of how I dressed (and no, I don&#8217;t dress like a fucking hobo). Then what few HR projects I had, were given to the finance guy (cuz that makes perfect sense). Then I was regarded as the office whore (which is not legit).</strong></p>
<p><strong>Of course I&#8217;ve done the obvious and gotten a new job. However, I decided to man the fuck up and finish my two weeks (regretting it as we speak).</strong></p>
<p><strong>So in my last two weeks of hell how can I get back at them without anyone knowing?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Thanks,<br />
Really fucking pissed off in Wyoming</strong></p>
<p>There is no more powerful (wo)man in the world than ONE WHO HAS JUST TURNED IN THEIR RESIGNATION. Who the hell you gotta impress? It&#8217;s the one chance you&#8217;ll ever have to rain truth bombs all over that shithole you invested ALL THOSE GODDAMNED WASTED YEARS on.</p>
<p>What? You walking gingerly to get yourself one a them there precious referrals? Only a true ASSKISSER would finish that shit quietly. SPEAK SOME TROOF!</p>
<p>Yo, Indian guy in IT. You&#8217;re supposed to EAT THE CURRY, not slather it all over your body like you&#8217;re turning yourself into a walking homage to Ganesha&#8217;s asshole. If I have to smell your ass for one more week, I&#8217;ll never fucking eat tikki masala AGAIN!</p>
<p>Gary, in sales. When you laugh, it sounds like two elderly porpoises fucking. Seriously, I can&#8217;t UNDERSTAND why your wife just divorced your ass! I&#8217;m gonna have nightmares the rest of my life where I hear your laugh, have Vietnam-like flashbacks, and wake up choking the shit outta my girlfriend. If I could have the part of my memory that contains your fucking laugh surgically removed with a fucking chisel, I would.</p>
<p>Sue, you fucking cunt. You know why people don&#8217;t get more shit done around here? It takes TWO FUCKING hours to do anything, and 1 hour 45 minutes of that involves you standing at their desk bitching and whining about it. If you really want to increase productivity, you&#8217;ll spend that time licking your own asshole. That&#8217;s a more productive use of your jaw muscles than having to sit here listening to your whiny fucking voice. Your ass really needs to get laid. I hear Gary&#8217;s available.</p>
<p>HEY, FAT HORNY GUY. You know when we&#8217;re on the elevator, and a pretty girl steps off, the doors close, and you nudge me and say &#8220;did ya see that?&#8221; YOU FAT FUCK, you are WAY too fucking sexually excited to be touching me right fucking now. Now I&#8217;m gonna have to break into the cleaning closet and wash my arms in fucking BORAX just to rid my body of your festering pheromones. We both know you&#8217;ll be in the bathroom tugging your puny little pud in five minutes, and that&#8217;s cutting it way too close in the time between your hands touching me and your hands touching your dick. Keep the masturbation fantasies to yourself, motherfucker! If you can&#8217;t, then go tell &#8216;em to GARY.</p>
<p>And you, Fred. You&#8217;re the worst of them all. I started listening to death metal at my desk because it was the ONLY THING POWERFUL ENOUGH TO DROWN OUT YOUR OBNOXIOUS VOICE. And I FUCKING hate death metal! I hate death metal more than anything and everything in this world except for the sound of your voice, so it was an easy decision. I suggest you get yourself a horse muzzle and strap that shit on, for always. There is nothing worse in this here life than overhearing a conversation between you and Gary. Between your voice and his laugh, I fucking swear a vortex is gonna open up and suck this whole company down into the fire of fucking hell.</p>
<p>And I don&#8217;t wanna be here when that happens, so that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m resigning.</p>
<p>Now leave me the fuck alone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear Murray,I need some advice,er wisdom on how to be a truly better person &amp; not just a simpleton/catatonic/knee-jerk &#8216;Do-Gooder&#8217;!I already have a head start as I do not write &#8216;poetry&#8217;/am not a poet(yippie!) and also &#8216;offed&#8217; my first (and last) life-coach.I now have a life cheerleader,but &#8216;she&#8217; is a horse-hung tranny who is not proficient at espousing anything of value!<br />
Peace(Chaos?!) &amp; Thanks,Cary/ZiA</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;re off on the right foot. Every self-aware person needs a good tranny telling them what to do. Just make sure you never, ever forget the reacharound! He/she will grab you by the ears and fuck your life hard if you forget that.</p>
<p>Are you knocking poets? I&#8217;ll have you know I&#8217;m a licensed practitioner of the poemetry. At the very least, you could use some of the practice at slowing the fuck down withtherunonsentences it would give you.</p>
<p>Have you read the Bhagavad Gita, ya hippie? In it, Arjuna gets all whiny &#8220;OH KRISHNA, KRISHNA, I can&#8217;t go to war. Killin&#8217; is wrong!&#8221; Krishna smacks the whiny little bitch around and tells him he&#8217;s being selfish. &#8220;If he wasn&#8217;t your cousin, you woulda already stabbed him and fucked the wound, so shaddup, ya pussy!&#8221; My sanskrit is a little rusty, though, so I&#8217;m paraphrasing.</p>
<p>ANYDAMNEDHOW. It&#8217;s the same with good deed doing. Good deed doing has become pretty fucking pointless. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You did something for someone. You want a fucking medal? YES. Everyone wants the goddamned medal. Feeding the homeless is a ripe (in more ways than one) opportunity for press! WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO GOOD! HALP PEOPLE! Bullshit. We don&#8217;t have to do a goddamned thing but eat, drink, shit, watch football and die.</p>
<p>Would anyone be doing good for anyone else if it weren&#8217;t for the medals and keys to the city and the GENUINE Kodak moments and the tax breaks and the great Nobel circle jerk? Highly doubtful.</p>
<p>Anyhow, quit your fucking whining and worrying about what you should be or wanna be or coulda been. If you feel like doing something, do it. If you don&#8217;t, don&#8217;t. Just don&#8217;t get caught up in all that IF I DO THIS WHAT WILL IT GET ME bullshit. Then, you&#8217;ll be just another empty cocksucker, like the rest of them.</p>
<p>Now leave me the fuck alone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="blogSubject"><strong> 														Dear Murray</strong></p>
<p class="blogContent"><strong>i have a problem with a stalker. he&#8217;s been stalking me for 2 months now but then he stopped all of the sudden. it really bothers me. do you think i am too fat?</strong></p>
<p><strong>-cindy</strong></p>
<p>You know the thing about stalkers? You never feel lonely when you got a stalker. You ain&#8217;t never sitting around thinking &#8220;Oh god, I&#8217;m so very bored at this moment,&#8221; &#8217;cause all you have to do is look outside and there&#8217;s your entertainment. Murray ain&#8217;t never gonna stalk anybody, &#8217;cause I&#8217;m too damned unmotivated. If you want me to stalk you, you&#8217;re gonna have to give me an arranged time, and you can drive by and I&#8217;ll stalk you. HEY HEY I&#8217;M STALKING YOU NOW! OK ARE WE DONE STALKING YET? OK BYEBYE! SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!</p>
<p>You think after two months he hasn&#8217;t learned a trick or two? He won&#8217;t give up that easily. Good stalking takes lots of practice, and equipment. He just had to save up, and he&#8217;s gotten much, much better. Trust me, he&#8217;s there right now. Stop fretting, your pudgy ass can rest in peace tonight.</p>
<p>Now leave me the fuck alone.</p>

<p><strong>Washday Woes</strong></p>
<p>What I&#8217;m not understanding here is why you need to wash them at all. You&#8217;re sitting atop a gold mine, lady. Allow me to demonstrate. Let&#8217;s say you pay $20 a thong. You wear it for, say three days. The going rate for such goods would appear to be somewhere in the $50-$100 range. Even more if you fit within the following keywords: &#8220;college&#8221; &#8220;teen&#8221; &#8220;lesbian&#8221; &#8220;martha stewart&#8221;. You know it&#8217;s big business if eBay had to develop a <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/used-clothing.html"> standard</a> for pantie sales. So quit thinkin about what you can stuff in your bag, and think about all those dollars you&#8217;re washing down the drain. There&#8217;s an infinite amount of dudes sitting there right now with $50 in one hand and&#8230; umm&#8230; I&#8217;m NOT GONNA TELL YOU WHAT&#8217;S IN THE OTHER HAND. Come on, lady, let Murray be your business manager.</p>
<p>Now leave me the fuck alone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="blogSubject"><strong>Dear Murray 														 														 														</strong></p>
<p class="blogContent"><strong>I think I am in love with two men at the same time. One guy lives in LA and the other lives in SF.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I am moving to Cali shortly for work &#8211; either to LA or SF. I now must decide on where to move and focus on my career. I am very torn because I know where I move will ultimately decide who I will be with. I know I should focus on what is best for me in terms of my work &#8211; but my heart is also on the line! Help!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Confused in Connecticut</strong></p>
<p>Damn, girl, you sure get around! I&#8217;ve told you before, Murray ain&#8217;t the settling type! Ladies get attached to Murray and they gotta go trying to change him. &#8220;Don&#8217;t be so cranky,&#8221; &#8220;Tell me I&#8217;m pretty,&#8221; &#8220;Take a bath&#8221;. MURRAY CAN&#8217;T BE CHANGED!</p>
<p>Do you make a good faghag? There&#8217;s nothing wrong with it. My dear old mama was a faghag. If you pick San Fran, though, chances are you&#8217;re set in that for life, and you owe it to them to be a damned good one. If you move to LA, you need to run some phrases through your translator. &#8220;Let&#8217;s do lunch&#8221; means &#8220;Look, I ain&#8217;t callin&#8217; your ass ever again&#8230; well, maybe if lunch is at The Standard and you pay.&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m working on a screenplay&#8221; means &#8220;Not really, but I fancy myself an intellectual&#8230; NOW LESS TALKING, MORE SUCKING&#8221;.</p>
<p>Shit. Who cares? Keep setting up franchises. I hear the men in Budapest are looking!</p>
<p class="blogContent">Now leave me the fuck alone before I fucking cry a river.</p>
