I just read three pages of comments for a blog Adrienne Curry wrote regarding an Onion article about her husband. Do you even remember telling people to read her blog? Well, you did and I have, and now I can't help but feel that you owe me a hug and an apology. Something along the lines of "there, there...you knew people were stupid, but I am sorry for indirectly slapping you in the face with it." On an unrelated note, I set my DVR to record you on Jimmy Kimmel Live on friday and got a face full of Lil' Wayne for my trouble....what gives?
Aimee Man is coming through the Minnesota Zoo on June 12th. I'm wondering whether you're going to be there since you're her comedian posse.
It's either the zoo that night, or I go to the Caboose because Gogol Bordello is playing, and I know it would be a dope show, or I could go to a really shitty Mindless Self Indulgence show at First Avenue so I can sell these drugs I have, and those kids are obviously still confused about rhythm, style, and love rhymes about coke-dick.
(Oooh! Pretentious points! Reedemable at Hot Topic and thrift stores around the nation!)
Well, I'm going to watch the same girls gone wild commercial, followed by the EXTENZE commercial where they ask ugly people how big their dick is, without actually mentioning the word "penis" or "sex" until I fall asleep. Ambien makes me hallucinate because it triggers all the LSD in my brain and makes me peak or something.
So, return with a comment to let me know whether you will be there on the 12th of this month, so I know whether I'm going to sell drugs, go to a zoo, or see a really awesome show.
....or just don't return a comment like you usually do if you forgot Minnesota existed like I do sometimes.
