What the Folk!

OK, I hate to admit this, really I do. I was fully prepared to hate this book, but the truth is, I can't put it down. It is SO FUNNY. Yes it's also puerile and gross, most definitely. But also very, very amusing. I can TOTALLY see why Jemaine would be interested in this role.

I love how Mystery lives with his parents! I almost did a spit take when I read that, lol. These guys are SUCH LOSERS. I would absolutely *love* to see one of them in action, I find it extremely hard to believe that any of these methods would actually work with anyone who isn't A) drunk and B) a stripper, lol. In fact I think that may be the secret to their success. I love how Mystery says to wear light-up jewelry as a conversation starter! And then Style has his man bag that he wears across his torso - remind you of anyone? lol - and in it he has EXTRA light-up jewelry, so when he gives away his glowing necklace to some poor girl, he can put *another* one on after she leaves! Oh the humanity. My favorite part so far - this almost killed me:

Mystery wrote:

Maddash talked about how using well-chosen props are a great way to focus a girl's attention on something else so she doesn't resist overt sexual moves. I agree. Say, "Look at the puppet show over there," while you play with her tits. If she hesitates about the tit-play, simply point to the puppets and laugh, "Look at the puppets. Look, they are funny puppets." Then play with the tits again.

SERIOUSLY???? What kind of drugs would a girl have to be on for this to actually work?? Can you imagine?? Oh man, I'm dying over here.

I was going to ask you your thoughts on the book as I am quite curious about it. It seems my initial impression of and ICK will be greatly altered upon its reading. It certainly sounds like something Jemaine has read and that he has been employing some of the techniques therein, which is hilarious in itself and a reason for me to read it (if he is confirmed for the role). The more I hear about it the more it sounds like the role Jemaine was born to play baaaaaby!

You'll probably still think it's ick, but it's also very funny, which I wasn't expecting. I almost wish I was still single and went to bars more often so I could see if any guys actually tried to use any of this stuff.


I thought of him many times as I was reading it, lol.

Once I found out that it was a comedy I felt better about it as I had been envisioning Tom Cruise's character from Magnolia and getting freaked out.

I'm not sure that the bulk of the humor is intentional or the author even cognizant of it.


Did you love how he tried to assert that the more intelligent the woman, the easier the methods worked?


When we are in NYC, if we get approached in a bar by a tall, dark, heavily bearded man wearing a glow necklace....just roll with it.

I might be the only here person who hasn't seen this yet (one of you may have started it, for all I know...) but just in case I'm not-- Have you guys seen the facebook page that's petitioning Jemaine to host an episode of SNL? I just saw it and kind of freaked out.

Yeah...it's someone from another board, I believe. It'd be cool but I don't see it happening.

At least not until he has a movie to plug, like MIB.......

maybe he could advertise for them a little early... "I'm in Men in Black 3, which comes out in a year and a half..."

I don't know who started it but since the Betty White thing everyone has a petition to host SNL. I would hate to see J on there but I'm not concerned because I don't see it happening.

Kristin Wiig is on SNL and she's always in Lorne's good graces. When the time's right, I don't think a petition will be necessary.

But I'd rather see him do a guest shot on an interesting show, like Demetri Martin's Important Things.

Shirt for Jemaine?

O please God, no.....

Jemaine needs this shirt in a turtleneck version, lol. His beard, while good, doesn't even make it onto the chart.



Now we're talking.

Those brain worms are out. of. control.
