I just finished watching the DVD set for the TV show Jeeves and Wooster. Makes me wish I had a valet like Jeeves. Anyone ever have one? If not a valet (or if you are married), a butler?

I have a dog. Two dogs.
And a cat.
And three fish.
Oscars.
Does that count for anything?
None of my dogs will fetch. So they are most unbutlerish.

Say, that was like freeverse. I just needed a beret and someone playing the bongos. The crowd would gone wild, snapping their fingers as I lit my cigarette in its long holder and thoughtfully stroked my goatee. It woulda been boffo.

Butler is a file launcher that can access applications and any other kind of document by browsing fully customizable system-wide spring-loaded menus, pressing hot keys, clicking hot corners, or entering abbreviations. Butler will learn from your habits and remember what you want a certain abbreviation to do (e.g., enter "abo" to launch "Address Book").

•A bookmark manager.

Butler offers you a way to manage your bookmarks without depending on a certain browser. In contrary to a browser's bookmark collection, Butler's bookmarks are always accessible through its system-wide menus, hot keys, etc. And you'll certainly become addicted to accessing bookmarks by entering abbreviations. Butler also lets you access the bookmarks of every single browser there is for Mac OS X. Adding files or URLs from your browser to Butler's configuration is stunningly easy: Just drag them to the active screen corner (default: top left), see Butler's main window open, and drop your items somewhere whithin your configuration.

•A web search utility.

Butler's predecessor "Another Launcher" was the first application that let you search the web from the menu bar. But if your menu bar is too crowded for an input field, you can also use hot keys to pop up dedicated web search windows. Butler supports a large number of search engines by default, but you are not restricted to those ? you can easily add your own search engines.

•A clipboard extension.

Butler lets you access items you have previously stored in your clipboard, effectively turning your clipboard into a stack. You can also take a snapshot of your current clipboard and keep it for good. This feature is particularly useful for text snippets you need to enter on a regular basis.

•And so much more...

You can use Butler to move and copy files, control iTunes, access the system preferences, change the current user, and so on. But Butler really shines when it comes to customizing its behavior. Is your menu bar too crowded? Use Butler's docket! Do you want a menu for each mounted volume? Do you want a menu to pop up when you press a certain hot key? Do you want all running applications in your menu bar? Or do you prefer doing things with your keyboard only? Whatever kind of interface you prefer, Butler is at your service.

only a maid, sorry.

she's hot, of course. does that help?

[Kenneth]

That's cool... I may need one too...

[CMYKid]

hmmm. it'd be a hell of a commute, but I'll ask her...

Every time a fresh little Russian girl comes to work at my job, I offer them $50 bucks a week to come to my house twice during the week, for two hours of work each day.

I'll let you know when I get a maid. It's only a matter of time. that's good money.

It depends on what you're asking her to clean..... and that would be WRONG!

But yet so right.

[wdlove]

I don't have either, think it would make me nervous. John Kerry has one, always at the read to make him a peanut-butter sandwich.

[drive-thru]

Just Jeeves.

I don't think a butler would be a good idea. He'd end up sitting around all day, maybe get me a drink every now & then, open my mail. He'd probably be better at it than me. But then I'd end up firing myself. And where would that get me?

[nredman]

i have 3 butlers, 10 maids, and 15 valets for my 15 hummer limos

[alligator]

What would you pay one nowdays? I assume they would make a decent wage - say $40-50k per year?

[ambush]

I have a sex slave.
The problem is SHE'S FREE TO GO. But she still wants me...

ah girls

whoa, that's decent alright. especially for a freakin' no paper havin' chick from Guatemala.

A Butler, Valet, something ritzy would get that kind of money, yea. but not the maid, surely not even the live-in maid.

i'd be bored with 15 hummer limo's... unless you mean to say you have 15 limo's specifically for receiving hummers ... then i'd just say you were being childish! =P
