Think About It: Asked and Answered
It’s that time again, friends. After spending far too much time away, I’m once again delving into the magical mailbag of mirth and merriment to marvel at your missives of… of… of m-ness.
Yeah, let’s just get on with it.
Blake,
In recent months, I find I have become more and more engrossed with television. I’m roped in by Lost, I’m mesmerized by 24. I deeply care about Jim and Pam finally getting together on The Office, and I’m planning to try out for the second season of American Inventor with my roll-on cat defurifier. My question is, do you think the guys from Prison Break might wind up on a deserted island next year with Howie Mandel? Also, how long can goldfish go without being fed? And is anybody on network television cuter than Jenna Fischer?
Tater Teddy
Teddo,
Now I like television myself, but wow. My recommendation for you would be to go out and get a TiVo with an extra-large hard drive. Oh, and about the goldfish thing - longer than you’d think, but probably not as long as it’s been since you’re asking that question. Fortunately, they’re cheap. Oh - and no. Nobody cuter.
Duder,
I’m thinking of trying something different with my hair. Perhaps a nice bouffant with auburn highlights wrapped in a nice coil with some extensions and a streak of purple just for flavor. What do you think?
Fred
Freddo,
Sounds promising, Fred. I would also suggest some flat-ironing with a nice little French loop concluding in a big wrap of who the heck cares?
My man!
It’s Friday, dude! It’s movie night! And based on what you wrote about the movie Snakes on a Plane, I figure you’re the right guy to ask. Is there anything out there actually worth watching?
Cinematic Steve
Steve-o,
Well, since you asked, I’m kinda jazzed about Slither, now playing at a theater near you. Like the aforementioned snake flick, this looks to be an old-fashioned B-movie thrill ride: funny, silly and delightfully gross. Let’s face it, who doesn’t want to see alien slugs trying to take over the world? It’ll be like my old job at the newspaper all over again. Plus it’s got Nathan Fillion from Firefly and the aforementioned Jenna Fischer from The Office, who I’m willing to bet would be the cutest alien mutant zombie in the theater.
Dear Sir.
My name is Eduardo Longforeignsoundingname, and I am the deposed king in exile of Notamadeupcountrystan. I have concocted a scheme to restore myself to my natural place in rule of this land - a complicated plan that will involve subterfuge, espionage, extreme danger and a monkey playing a harmonica. But we can’t do it alone. With your help, in the form of your bank account, credit card numbers and favorite color, we can finance this expedition. In return, upon reclaiming my throne I shall give you lots of money and crap. So, whaddaya say?
Sincerely, That name I said.
That Name-o,
Like I told you the last three times, stop writing me. Try Tom Cruise, it seems like he’ll believe anything these days. He’s making Mission: Impossible III, right?
Guess what?
Did you know that Chuck Norris’s tears could cure cancer? Unfortunately, Chuck Norris has never cried.
Vin.
Vinno
Did you know that if Jack Bauer was on the Lost island he would have gotten them off in 24 hours?
Blake
I love you man.
Jim.
Jim,
I know.
