a) $10,000 diamond

MARKIE AND HARRY SITTING IN A BENCH




notes:

* Jessica Barden: get bubblegum hair. get indie. get intimate. an intimate space.

* Phoenix: back-to-school excitement is somehow in the air!
kid: i LOVE to run home everyday!
Phoenix: so then you're not really into school.
kid: especially when i get an F in P.E.

* Paris Hilton: i'm not dumb, Liberty Mutual, you're making fun of me with the Lady and the Tramp dog and Machine Gun Kelly who both have my hair made of gold. for the record, i DO bathe, without flea-and-tick shampoo. 

* Pascal from Safelite: the couple noticed a chip in their window. so when they came back i fixed it for them. i gave them a bowl of potato chips. did you know Tostitos makes both chips AND salsa?

* Allstate: it's like having the Night Court theme in your backseat. like having a Miyazaki tree sitting next to Forrest Gump. why are ice cream cones a thing?, they always spill. it's worth it to drift your compact car around huggy turns to curve out of the way of a red Handball used against a brick wall. for Catholic grade school nostalgia.
Hugh: i TOLD my son not to get involved with that skateboarding mess! i told him skateboarding is only validated with a gold medal!

* Allstate: do not attempt to jump your compact car over a jumprope in double dutch.........we're not sure how you would be able to do this

* Dairy Queen Reese's Extreme Blizzard: i'm the daughter of Dora The Explorer and Vault Boy

* Reminiscence: sounds eerily similar to one of my scripts...

* Awkwafina: i've waited patiently. i've played the goofy sidekick. but look at me, i'm a smart capable babe! i'm the hottest actress in Hollywood, both meanings! when will it be time for an Asian woman superheroine on the silver screen! i am SO ready to play Silk!
James Gunn: yeah about that, the whole Marvel superhero thing has run its course, Hollywood is looking to move on to indie art films.

* Samsung: cool cool another roller coaster. has those flips of the stomach that only come from living in Florida...

* how can we have EVERYONE be successful? why must for one person to be successful the other person has to be homeless? our former President could have changed the system if he wanted to...

* Nike: we learn about real dynasties not patriarchal ones.
Marcus Aurelius: fair enough. but i did have some good quotes...

* antidisestablishmentarianism: i had a good run...


happy weekend, my babies

TOMORROW: the garlic burger. the Burger King one. the one with the garlic chips. the garlic discs. cos i'm a goth. cos i'm a vampire

TWELVE TONES OF FREEDOM: YOU LOOK GOOD WEARING MY FUTURE

 










Roxana Zal: look at me in River's Edge. you missed that scene where i subtly put in my eyedrops. that was symbolic, i was letting my guilty conscience out to breathe to really see the dire situation we were all in. everyone thinks i'm Alanna Ubach.

Cotard: nope they're not that. you'll see, in a manner of speaking...

Tyler Lyle: call me Tyler Lyte. as in come into my midnight light. i fly my own kite.

Dirg: that's the thing, it's so weird. i thought the bare-chested man with the bowed graying scraggly thin rattail beard and graying curly chest hairs and Keith Haring cap was a bum who lived under the bridge. turns out he's a Miami millionaire of water scooters.
Keith Haring: i don't want Woody Allen playing me in the movie.

Cotard: i'm loving reading these Yashahime shorts with Takahashi. come over here and join us, brother.
Codrus: i'm busy!

Depeche Mode "Home": the guys decided to let me have a crack at lead vocals. lot of vibrato in my voice. and i look like Machine Gun Kelly.

Alex Trebek: i have nothing against pregnancy, Bea Arthur knows this about me. mothers make the best potent potables. the only Price Is Right model i remember fondly was Holly from the '80s.

Alex Trebek: wait what was the point of this entire whole worldwide search? we just ended up hiring inhouse.
Mayim Bialik: why didn't you just name me the host?

Rebecca Lowe in the eaves of NBC Studios speaking to herself: don't ask April Ross about the divorce. don't ask April Ross about the divorce. don't ask April Ross about the divorce.

Doryce: my Paper Mate box is so old and dusty.
Fred from I Love Lucy: hey! i resemble that remark! i'm proud of my pen company, we fight bacteria.

Mardith: respectfully looking at the hot Korean-boy-band Tokyo athletes on Instagram.
Dirg: come on.

Cotard spies Codrus between the two Boulders.

Mardith: why do the carnations around the shoppe have peas in them?
Madame Pons: those aren't LUSH soaps. you need to get more bouquets of flowers, girl!

Tom Cruise: show me the money, what's so special about that line?

Enigma: i've been asked to do the music for the Puppy Patrol movie. i have accepted.

Madame Pons: Mardith dear, don't go to Sinaloa, it's in the name.

Eden White: i'm the Sarah MacLachlan of Animorphs.

Gladyce: what's UPS's number?
Doryce: 1-800-GOT-JUNK

at The Weather Channel:

Quentin Tarantino's mom: son i need some money, the IRS is up my butt.
Quentin Tarantino: your butt was always itchy. no. 
mom: but i'm your mom.
Quentin: you said my shit was over like Eric Stoltz to the rich kid when i wanted to be a screenwriter. that shit fucked me up for life. words have consequences, they stay with a kid. parents need to learn to be more careful.
mom: i understand, BUT I'M YOUR MOM!!!!! that's WHAT FAMILY IS, son!!!!!

Just Roll With It: we were the Walk The Prank sequel everyone wanted. R.I.P. local sexpot Trevor Moore.
Dirg: i still have his book of cartoons Scraps he drew and wrote when he was 12 under my bed. Scraps should be made into an adult swim show.

Harley Quinn: when you say "fuck" 30 times in one episode, it loses its power.
Snake from Degrassi: case in point, when i said "fuck" in School's Out. it was the first time. said by me with such singular shock and fiery force for a laid-back Canadian. it reverberated throughout all time..........

Christopher Cross: i discovered America.

Mardith: it takes courage to cook a courgette.

Boc: cuidado, watch out. see what happens? when you're lawning watering the lawn in two clear plastic bags tied around your ankles cos you didn't want to muddy your new pretty boots, you trip on the bag-bow you've tied for yourself and the knot comes loose leading to the bag coming apart and you falling into mud. tie those ties tight, ese!

Dirg: Falfurrias, where my dad had the first furry convention ever in the continental United States. he did it in his loft above the cement parking-lot pole in 1979 in a cowboy hat. later when the feds stormed in they had to move. that was one expensive barge. they relocated to San Diego...

Julie Brown from Earth Girls Are Easy: Van Nuys is now more accurately called Van Nuts. why is the traffic STILL BAD around here?!!!

Mike Bettis in the shower washing his spiked-up hair: am i cool? or not? i'm still not sure. am i Ferris Bueller or Ed Grimley?
Spike from Degrassi: ...

Eye Luggage: imagine watching the beautiful show of Tuca & Bertie and then going on the IFC MESSAGEBOARDS and getting showered with nothing but a rain of praise and golden harmonium.
Madame Pons: the show is being sacrificed on the altar of trying to bring alt-right incels and real women together, which is a fool's errand.
Tuca & Bertie: we're Regular Show meets Mission Hill.

Poppy: you may think after my "Flux" music video that i'm Bjork's daughter. but i'm actually Aeon Flux's daughter. no, Maury, Marilyn Manson is NOT the father......

Greg Orloff: i'm Spongebob's son.

crones: dears take it from us, don't mess with an old ancient magic lady when it comes to her tattoo formula.

Gladyce: i love Bruno's in Obec, it has the meats, it has all the rich ingredients. even SPROUTS!!! but there's this weird bad-energy vibe emanating about the place.
Doryce: yeah i know what you mean.
Dirg: all the girls there are prim and preened and have the tiny tight huggy dark blue jeans and the garish diamond wedding ring that's bigger than a boulder.
Kurt Cobain: sprouts are green sperm cells.

Sting: i was not born to clean gutters with a ladder.

Doryce: Mardith's mess is atrocious.

Axl Rose: yeah.

in Obec a procession of 20 small compact bug racing-cars with the number 99 on the sidedoor motor across Rio Blvd in a straight line like ants.
Melbourne: how cute!
Taki: better than the alternative, i'll take the noise of those roadsters over the noise of the President-Bump Mad Max jeeps waving those godawful garish giant boat-flags.
 
Gladyce: *skimming the mail* dear i didn't know you were so into fracking and stripping mines and the stopping of fossil fuel.
Doryce: i'm not. but Robert Redford is on the letter-cover. this is for HIS cause.
both crones cackle in unison.
Gladyce: oh honey you've reached MY age now!

crones: Dialogue With The Carmelites, Codrus should be forced to sit down inside a shoebox theatre and watch a production of this play. we helped those poor nuns as best two witches could.
Obec: it happened right here!
Celine: my grandmother was one of those nuns!

Molly Qerim: i cuss too much. i need Maiara Walsh to be my homeroom teacher.

Mario: i had to make ends meet after Wall Street collapsed and my brother Luigi collapsed. so i cooked microwaveable Steak-umm beef sheets for a greasy spoon in the Cyndi Lauper "Time After Time" music video.

Eye Luggage: Some Kind of Wonderful and go.
John Hughes: hi.
Dirg: first of all, where does the name come from? it's not mentioned or referenced in the movie.
John Hughes: from a song.
Dirg: disappointing. i thought you had made it up out of whole cloth.

Dirg: you have an obsession with dudes who work blue-collar retail jobs with a name-patch on their uniform that they cross out and put another name on top. why?
Laertus: Dirg stop badgering the witness. sorry, Mr. Hughes.
John Hughes: goes back to my days working the local 7-Eleven in the big city of Chicago. there i fell in love with Black Flag. a crossed-out pin is a very punk thing to wear.
Takahashi: but Mr. Hughes you also have an obsession with rad cars in your films! this one has the iconic '70s patchwork bug-thing jalopy car with the Whitney and the Robot vibe.

Eric Stoltz: okay even I need the Caprica reboot to happen, i'm out of money. 

the train inches ever closer to Eric Stoltz's position on the tracks. it doesn't look good, Eric trips on his own jeans bellbottoms!
but he steps out of the way just in time.
train: buddy were you trying to kill yourself?!!! cos this is the Mugen Train, anime is family-friendly entertainment!
Eric: no i'm an undercover spy in transit in transport to transport the goods, i'm a slick supplier in the body of a high-school student. an '80s high-school student back when everybody wore plaid shirts so nobody knew who was packing muscles underneath, who had the sleepers.
train: sleepers cell, got it.
Tom Clancy: ...

Dirg: dude you were a Machiavelli on that set! you were cutthroat! you were a Herod!
John Hughes: i just knew my worth. i wasn't gonna take shit from anyone.
Molly Ringwald: you disowned me cos i wouldn't do this film. you forced me to be cast but i left in my pink jalopy in the middle of the night.
Dirg: he forced you to be castrated? it's the vaccine all over again!
Molly Ringwald: i needed to branch out, why couldn't you understand that?
John Hughes: YOU WANTED TO BE A WHORE!!!!! sorry sorry over it i'm over it.

John Hughes: this was my revenge script, this is how Pretty In Pink SHOULD have happened. finally i get the ending i want, the ending i deserved. i also started the whole Slash fanfiction craze that's burning up the internet these days.

Mary Stuart Masterson: i cut my teeth on this film. it really catapulted my career. i'm the only one who got rave reviews, everybody thought it was otherwise bland. before this people thought i was a violin concerto maestra like that chick from Yashahime.

Lea Thompson: don't remember this movie at all. all i remember is i got married on that set. and had Dutch chocolate for hors d'oeuvres. and wore trucker hats the whole time.

John Ashton: i had the bug eyes cos i STILL can't believe co-ed P.E. is a thing!

Craig Sheffer: i'm not rich-boy like my character. Unification Church spaghetti is just right, not too thick, not too powdery.
Cotard: i know that's why i'm fat. my brother is too lazy to organize the church dinners. i enjoy life he hates it.

Elias Koteas: may i take your coat? never worry, fair madam, your secret is safe with me, now what is your alias for the key party again? look at that sensitive actor playing the school bully, that's me without my usual Ed-from-the-band-Live long hair. the whole time i was crying inside. all i wanted was a chill pill. look at that garish leather jacket they made me wear. my tattoo is LITERALLY a skull! an ancient old-lady magic tattoo, a Poppy patch. it looks like a punk pin. i'm out of a Cyndi Lauper video. i look like i come from Van Nuys.
monks: we both shaved our head to honor you, Elias Koteas!

Codrus works at night sawing pieces of long lumber into cylinders.
Cotard: you got shingles?
Codrus: no my hands are okay, no blisters. 
Cotard: you can get vaccinated you know.
Codrus: it's fine drop it!

Molly Hagan: it's me! from Unfabulous! i don't know what that girl got herself into on Snapchat. Herman's Head is not the Munsters reboot.

Maddie Corman: i don't want to talk about it.

Candace Cameron and Chyna Phillips: who knew, right?

Scott Coffey: i'm not in charge of craft service.

Roger Ebert: back then i hated hipster soundtracks, i've since mellowed.

Mick Jagger: Keith, Watts, and Amanda Jones, wink wink, cheeky cheeky, i get it.
Mick Jagger: let's face it, the only good song we ever did was "Love is Strong".

Martha Coolidge: i cooled on the project when i realized Stewie Griffin would not be in this.

Kim Delaney: thanks to you, John Hughes, i wanted to be a cop. now look where i am now.
Kyle MacLachlan: not related to Sarah. i don't think. i wasn't weird until i met John Hughes. meeting John Hughes made me weird and indie. 

The Midnight: we're a band. but we're also a concept. people forget we're only two people. you only know about this film because of the music video for our song "'80s Films", i know, it's confusing. you saw all those scenes from the movie BEFORE you saw the actual movie, so now you're seeing these scenes with the original music not our music. you're going OH, I REMEMBER THAT SCENE! the whole time.
Laertus's dad: you guys have the best concept for a band ever: literally songs about '80s nostalgia. i wish i thought of that, that's what i AM. this is the band i would have created if i could sing.

Dirg: so let's go. see it's another one of those. suburbs vs. working-class, but it's still all LOS ANGELES so it doesn't count.

Watts: i'm not a lesbian. i have a short tomboy pixie cut and i play the drums but...
Watts: in truth i have a crush on Molly Ringwald not Lea Thompson.
Keith: i'm not from Voltron.
Hardy Jenns: i'm no James Spader. no matter how you stretch me, i haven't his lips.
Duncan: you don't have much in front so you're a guy.
Watts: what if i'm trans?

Laura Nelson: remember that song about the guy who killed himself cos he couldn't get the girl of his dreams?
Trent Reznor: that's EVERY song.

Keith: what do you think of the new girl: the rich girl? the red girl?
Watts: rat bait.
Keith: isn't that a Garbage Pail Kid?

Hardy: don't make fun of my feminine name.
Duncan: want some cake in your ear?
Hardy: that girl is my property.
Duncan: your mom is on my nude deck of playing cards.

Elias Koteas: you see how i mug for the camera when i'm trying to act tough? i can't do this, i feel like a Muppet. i look like one, too. i'm more comfortable doing commercials for feminine hygiene products. 

Amanda Jones: why do i get detention?
Lee Garlington: you called me fat, honey. i've been in Hollywood longer than you, i was a skinny minnie like you. but bodies change over time. 
Craig Sheffer: i will beat up a girl as long as she's a fat chick, my bodyblows will bounce right off her, not hurt her at all.

Watts: i'm only using Ray to make you jealous.
Keith: i'm gonna practice kissing on you and grab your butt but i'm not using you.
Ray: i have to push your car without gasoline?
Watts: that'll prove you're environmentally conscious.
Ray: honey i'm not that into you, i'm gay.

Eric Stoltz: why'd you dress up as a black-limo chaffeur?
Mary Stuart Masterson: to star in the Harley Quinn movie FIRST.
Eric: my date's ass deserves better than to sploosh on a vinyl seat.
MSM: if a girl doesn't have a vinyl record collection, she's not a girl.

at the Hollywood Bowl:
Mauceri: didn't you think there was an orchestra in the bowl in the scene? a couple musicians milling around. but it turns out it's just the two redheads, Lea and Eric.
The Midnight: when we played the Hollywood Bowl we knew we'd made it.

Lea: you used me, too!
Eric: is it all a game? if there's no hope what do you have?
Lea: suicide. that's why you gotta FAKE hope.
Eric: what is the concept of future?
Lea: you need a DeLorean for that.

Hardy: you got my sloppy seconds. like a used car which your bitch dyke drives. who eats fish anyway that's disgusting.
Duncan: no, friend, you have it all wrong. i know how to treat a woman. i have respect for strippers. give me a soft microphone and nightclub smoke and vinyl to eat. watch me poeticize. that exotic dancer you put your grubby fingers on was my wife. as in WAS my wife, used to be my wife. she is the last of the exotica. she wears plaid skirts which you wouldn't know about cos this is a public school.

Elias Koteas: see? it pays to know a bully. don't avoid a bully, talk to the bully, even if he punches you in the nose. his knife could one day carve a masterpiece wood-art that sells on Instagram for $45. g'night folks i gotta go i got a bowl show spoken-word doors at 7. 

Keith: wait, you drive a jeep?
Amanda Jones: it's a good-guy jeep.

Watts: so the whole earrings thing.
Eric: like them?
Watts: no, they got stuck on my ear, see at the end in the last scene?, that was ad-libbed cos in real time the earrings actually got tangled in my hair, which is ironic cos i had short tomboy hair. g'night, folks.

Laertus: ah, such wonderful warriors on this battlefield. their legs will take them to paradise. not Heaven, their goals. g'night, folks.

Codrus: what could it be? hearing devices. war wires. crosscountry cables, spylines. milk as fuel?
cat familiars: ...
Codrus: walkie-talkie code to change a football team's name.
Cotard: no, brother, you'll never guess. the person who will emerge the leader has a very special attribute: he listens. he listens to his fellow soldiers. listens to their mental health. he knows what it's like he's been in the trenches. you will NEVER guess the identity of this soldier in the fold.

TMIT: BRRRRR, IT'S COLD

 




1. what are your thoughts on public nudity or skimpy clothing?

in the spirit of the Olympics it would be cool if everyone just doffed their clothing and went naked full-time outside in the world. then our caveman and cavewoman ancestors brothers and sisters would come out of the bushes and we could shake hands with them again, or shake knuckles. we would finally know who The Missing Link is.

2. which of the following best describes you:
a) exhibitionist
b) voyeur
c) keep nudity and things sexual behind closed doors

if everyone was truly free we'd all be truly free and there'd be no hang-ups anymore. Peeping Toms would cease to exist, which would lose an interesting character from Home Improvement. we've decided as a collective body to re-form the Garden of Eden so ALL buildings must be torn down and replaced with a flower. there are no more doors on Earth...

3. what is the most revealing outfit you have ever worn in public? Batman

4. there are only two types of beaches left in the world---clothing-optional and must-be-clothes-free. which beach will you visit?

the one with the Geico gecko

5. you have just gotten out of the shower to find that your towel is hanging outside on the clothesline. your house is full of guests. do you:
a) call out for someone to bring your towel.
b) use something else to dry yourself.
c) retrieve your towel as inconspicuously as possible wrapping it around you at the earliest chance.
d) take advantage of the sunshine and dry yourself au naturale in your backyard.

i drop trou and finally enter the WWF. not the WWE, the WWF, real wrestling from the '80s. i practice my clothesline move naked in the spirit of real wrestling. i rub my hair with a pumice stone to keep it shiny. only one of the houseguests sees me, Hulk Hogan, who gives me a wink and a smile and a thumbs-up and curls his golden mustache to wave at me:

Hulk Hogan: what's your wrestler name, rookie?
me: Golden Hour.

BONUS: have you ever skinny-dipped or visited a nude beach? 

no, i skinny-dipped so much in my youth that now i'm a 40-year-old man in an 80-year-old body. i'm so skinny i can't move any of my joints.

THE OLYMPIC ORGY THAT WAS 1984














i mean how lucky was i that i was 6 when the 1984 Los Angeles Games were staged? here i am in the nascent bliss of just starting out as a baby in the '80s Nostalgia Cocoon and my first taste of the Olympics was in my backyard of Los Angeles! i remember everything so crystal-clearly: 

* had a sticker book with Sam the Eagle and that wavy Vaporwave Blue-White-Red Star, traced that star with thin tracing paper and crayoned each line. that is such an '80s star, that star is dancing in an underground NYC nightclub with Madonna Toto Christopher Cross Foreigner Philip Glass and Moroder. moving to the groove. i didn't confuse it with the Muppets Eagle cos i wasn't old enough to watch the Muppets, back when the Muppets were good and unrestrained. i didn't get Olympics Fever, i was indoctrinated into Olympics Fever AND I LOVED IT!!!

* i remember the fever pitch around the Valley but i don't remember those headless bronzed-both-meanings naked statues. i don't think ABC panned the camera to those when i was watching. coulda opened my eyes and doors early. don't let the front distract you, go round the corner and get a load of their bodacious butts.

* Rafer Johnson making history, Disney designing the Eagle cartoon character getting in on that sweet Olympic cash early of course, and that poor marathon woman who collapsed on the Coliseum red-orange Dune dust of the track. we all cramped that day. too bad Roger Federer wasn't born yet to hand her a waterbottle. after that, all rules regarding heatstroke and exhaustion were changed. nothing on mental health tho. and when it came to tennis cramping was still "loss of conditioning" even if the guy was literally dying crying out in agony rolling around on the court.

* was there ever a more perfect structure than the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to host the frickin' Olympic Games? i mean this thing is LITERAL GREEK ARCHITECTURE. with a giant cauldron to boot! that cauldron was MADE for the Olympic Flame! fashioned out of bronze bowl. guy on a jetpack at the Opening Ceremonies who later starred in Liz Phair's '50s acid-washed music videos. Lionel Richie at the Closing Ceremonies singing "All Night Long" LITERALLY ALL NIGHT LONG for 11 minutes, there is a shard of memory of that in my mind along with Lionel singing to a bust of himself in art class, his face made up of square Starburst candies.

* the Great Western Forum was literally where they did the Romans and lions thing a minute ago, it was a Bank of America on the weekends.

* that's why we were so successful and pulled in a $250 million profit, all the stuff was already there. 7-Eleven bought out McDonalds and be honest, when you saw Michael Jordan playing for USA Basketball that year did you have ANY idea of how big he'd get? if it wasn't for the Olympics there would be no Happy Meals in my life.

* that newspaper stand with the papers is charged in so many ways. Don's Plum had the Olympics on the bar-bistro tv.

* the Olympic Torch relay MATTERED back then, people would line their neighborhood streets watching it, get off work and school to do it.

* Mary Lou Retton, the first time you ever heard of gymnastics. she made it possible for Americans to love Romanians again, the two girls got together she and Nadia and orchestrated a summit to stop the coup whereby the 10s were exchanged for nuclear peace.

* this was in the middle of that little spat we had with the Soviets. all that Red Dawn stuff.

* John Williams, first time with his "Fanfare" music. that theme is ingrained in you now. a variation on the Star Wars Theme.

* the Mary Decker v. Zola Budd thing. featured as stickers on packs of Garbage Pail Kids.

* BRING BACK WINDSURFING!!! IT WAS?! I MISSED IT WHAT CHANNEL WAS IT ON?!!!

* i still have those nude-archer ultra-rare Los Angeles 1984 program guides. a woman in a headband's huge bare tits pressed against the cover of the newspaper. i mean my uncle does. i mean he did. now i'm the weird uncle. ink stains everywhere.

* this was the last time Olympic Spirit was a thing. a real quantifiable thing. a feeling in the air. felt in YMCAs and bars and diners and assembly lines.

* what can i say? things end. ceremonies end. deep-root relationships end leaving you careening into the future with gnawing uncertainty, hovering hurt, and biting sadness. no idea what you are going to do next. no idea with whom. there is nothing better than seeing Karch Kiraly cry. tears of joy. invest in people and they will come back to earn you a gold medal someday, that's the lesson here. even if it takes like 30 years. or you could become a drifter the rest of your life, a Degrassi drifter like Wheels.

UPS, WE HARDLY KNEW YE







notes:

* huh. what do i do? the Browse never updated from last week. just a bunch of old memes. if i don't get my commercial fill i turn to the bottle. of Coke.

* Netflix alien: our chunk-chunk is better than Law & Order's chunk-chunk. doesn't matter anymore, i don't watch SVU. nor that other new one. nice butt tho, mean old-man Meloni. i'm that alien from that non-Disney animated movie that bombed. so i bombed the closest planet and invaded the land under its ocean. sorry, Earth. my favorite show is Bridgerton. but WHY did Rege have to leave after the first season?!!! tv doesn't need to follow books!!!

* Brooke Raboutou drinking Nesquik chocolate milk : Bunnies Up. of COURSE i became an Olympic sport-climber, i'm from Boulder.

* me: i shaved my head today.
abbot: not sexy enough, we were looking for the sexy shave, you are hereby kicked out of the monastery.
me: *on my robed knees* what do you want from me? faith? blood on the cross? tears in the holy water?
abbot: we want you to look like Demi Moore.

happy weekend, my babies

TOMORROW...

NO ACTUALLY TODAY!!!

what a saga. i didn't live to tell the tale. i hate driving in cars. took two hours to drive from one end of the village to the next. would have been faster walking. we go to McDonalds for the Double Deluxe, the Deluxe Quarter Pounder With Brie and the Deluxe Chicken Sandwich. never buy Coke in a cup when you're driving, it WILL spill all over your vinyl. the machine didn't have ice then it didn't have Coke, then the lid didn't fit. ALL their lids. this is all because the UPS guy came in a truck so quiet nobody heard him not even the birds. he didn't knock on the door just left the note. NEXT Delivery Day...whatever that means, could be tomorrow Saturday or Monday. this all could have been avoided i was present, i'm never present but yoga helps. luckily there's a UPS store walking distance. Eminem inspects the tag and tells me go to CVS down the block it seems like a CVS package. around the corner fudge is made, Gevalia Majestic Roast coffee. a woman hot like Brooke Baldwin dives headfirst like an Olympic swimmer into the pile of packages and cardboard poles and bows but not the mail we want. Macy's Mail? maybe.  

this was more Heavy Metal 2000 than Heavy Metal...

TWELVE TONES OF FREEDOM: SHOULDA BEEN PINK HAIR






Pauly Shore: i want to address the rumor that everyone hates me. since this is the MTV Films movie that put the studio back on the map again after my fall from grace. i'm a cool guy, don't read the papers i don't. i have a dog named Buster who gives me tough love when i step outta line. i want to be a human father, too, i got inspired by Anderson Cooper. i've had a lifelong spat with my brother Scott but it's really quite sad, Mitz Mom would have hated to see her two son comedy legends at odds like this, like Diana and William and Harry and Meghan. she's rolling in her grave. sure my bro Scott stole my sperm for my fatherhood but he was trying to get away from the Fremont Street Experience, three huge-titted nuns were chasing after him into the Vegas desert, the only way he escaped was by sleeping under a cactus through the cold night pretending to be a Spirit Wolf but really just wearing a Wile E Coyote cosplay costume. Squidward is in my band, that dude plays a mean clarinet. actually the meanness of his clarinet is in direct correlation to the meanness in Squidward. my dad had Elvis's secret lovechild, wish he had me. i was the last person to see Robin Williams do a standup routine clean.........lot of dad jokes in that one...

Patrick: my mom will...
Patrick's mom: you will PAY, Dirg!

Gladyce: the disco soap adds to the Requiem For A Dream lighting in our bathroom.

Mardith: why is it that when your internet friends have kids that necessarily means you never speak to them again?

Boc: the hose had a mind of its own, it bucked like a bronco, slashing my face up and down with water cuts. the nozzle was angry that day my friends, the head turned on me and spit in my mouth.

the Australian Olympic team: blame the food. the paper in our diaries was too soft like cushy beary toilet paper. look, rugby is a stressful sport. we didn't trash the Olympic Village, it was the roos. kangaroos swim faster than boats. is all forgiven if we knit Tom Daley a coupla more kangaroo pouches?

Faye: the H on top of the parkour roof doesn't stand for Hospital, it stands for Hong Kong...

Eye Luggage: Pink Skies Ahead and go.
Kelly Oxford: i'll take it from here...

Kelly Oxford: i mean let's face it, there's a cloud of melancholy around this whole thing. not just my film, my life. mostly my life. like i'm this ridiculously gorgeous lengthy babe but it still didn't work out for me and now i wear librarian glasses. ladies, never let your man have your phone.........for a whole host of reasons. i started out where i was gonna be a writer of homemade domesticity up in an Ontario cave. happy homemaker with the apron and wolf cubs who are literally wolf cubs. but then i moved to Hollywood and became Chelsea Handler. my writing started to get more acerbic and witty i.e. well no just me without the filter, how it should have been from the start, my real feelings. but it was always the writing. the writing the writing the writing i was always a writer, the WRITING saved my life. I came up with the Celebrity Mean Tweets thing but of course Jimmy Kimmel got the credit. my life is the real Say Anything.

Chelsea Handler: i didn't do Cuomo.
Jada live at Red Circle Table: cuomosexual, that lasted a month. word entanglements are easier to get out of than entanglements.

Jessica Barden: am in fact related to Shakespeare. it's the end of the fucking world as we know it but i don't know for sure that it's the end so i feel fine, i'm not anxious at all, i exude confidence in my private life. i have a weird mouth but i'm still a babe. weird guppy Muppet mouth. i will NEVER get plastic surgery this is how Goddess made me. oh who are we all fucking kidding? we can never compete with Skins!!! i'm what a normal hot girl would be like out there in real-life society, i don't have the insane tits and i'm a little too underweight skinny for my own good. i'm a cool chick in the world. cool as a cucumber.

Jesse Heiman: all makeup, i'm really hot. you know me, i was that guy in Spun, did the Smashing Pumpkins video, ate some Super Bowl Dorito crumbs off a model's back, did Mask Live in the park, was in that Bowie Reznor sideproject that is still locked up in a vault in New Orleans, never saw the light of day, not even Dracula saw it fleeing from Rick and Morty. 

Marcia Gay Harden: i play Mom. in everything.
Catherine Keener: ...

Michael McKean: this is as close as i come to playing straight.

Henry Winkler: i won't sell you life insurance on tv...

Odeya Rush: not that blonde girl from that puppet show on Disney XD.

Mary J Blige: i mean.........i'm only in this weird white indie thing cos it's MTV...

Melora Walters: not the Archer actress who died, SHE was a matriarch! i do a lot of weird indie films...

Alexandra Paul: just biding my time treading water visiting Chris till they get Jennifer Aniston to play me in the Baywatch movie...

Dirg: so, more SVU pinkclouding?

Laertus: we can ALL in this podcast group attest to the anxiety we've felt in our lives. Dirg?
Dirg: shut up. i'm not a pod. i'm not a pod person like you lot! i have agency! i have a will i have a SOUL!!!

Billy Corgan: i had nothing to do with this opening and i need to get paid for it FUCKING NOW.

Tyzik: so this is technically a '90s movie.

Frank: hi. i'm the boyfriend. you never see me the whole time.

Jessica Barden: my name is Winona of course i'm in the writing program to be a goth writer! but the writing course at Princeton is stupid! it's still engineered to Anne Rice not geared to Stephanie Meyer!
Pat: i can attest to this. all writing college courses make the one gifted writer in the class uncomfortable and squeamish and wanting to squirt out get the fuck outta there and drop out.
Jessica: the teacher thought i would suicide off one of my writing assignments, doesn't that just mean my writing is GOOD? cos it's believable?
Jessica: i can't drive, how am i going to live my life?
Less: ...

Dirg: okay so this blue-haired chick is either the greatest actress in the world of all time when it comes to showing anxiety or she's just really really really fucking annoying.

Jessica: i haven't had a panic attack.........YET, stay tuned, moviegoers. mom, why don't we ever talk about all my teenage trauma?
Marcia Gay: because this will make you a better writer later on in life, talk about it at that time. hey you want to go to yoga with me? i'm teaching a class. despite the both of us parents being California-cool, laid back, smoking the secret weed stash in your bedroom drawer in our master bedroom when you go to school, you still turned out screwed-up.
Jessica: it's this gigantic mansion we live in, it's too much for three people. what do you expect? i'm an only child.
Marcia Gay: let's not talk. only talk about art. let's not talk let's just breathe. yoga-breathe.

Eye Luggage: i will say that it's ingenious later on when she gets the panic attack it's PERFECT for her to do the yoga-breathing exercises to combat it.

Jessica: isn't it cool that i still talk to you even though you're ugly?
Jesse Heiman: you like my fro? i was the first one to put a pick in it. why isn't your hair pink?
Jessica: didn't read on camera. hey at least my hair matches my blue Slurpee. how does it feel working behind the counter of a 7-Eleven?
Jesse: it's okay. it's kinda cool the days Pauly Shore comes in and teaches me to drink the Slurpee directly from the nozzle.
Pauly: weez the juice.
Henry Rollins: you dress like all those '80s hair-metal bands i despised as a kid.
Pauly: what did you look like as a kid?

Rosa Salazar: i don't think you're fucked up. but you are high-strung.
Jessica: that's cos i drink 17 cans of Coke a day. and eat just candy for dinner.
Kelly Oxford: that's cos I drink 17 cans of Coke a day. you can see me in that pic above directing you with a can of Coke in my hand. that is NOT the drink to have if you're having anxiety. i was influenced by Chungking Express Coke.

Dirg: did anyone think Ben would end up being a rapist?

Dirg: um...like what's going on here? this script is so...the dialogue is so...clunky...and slow...

Jessica: is it weird i still visit my pediatrician? can you help me, doc?
Henry Winkler: is it weird a doctor rides a motorcycle? i'm a patrician. are you a weedie? an alky? a beerie?
Jessica: no.
Henry: are you deaf? a druggie? hate your babysitter's guts?
Jessica: no.
Henry: then no.

Jessica: can you help me, doc? i got smelly armpits.
psychiatrist: do you know who i am? i'm Mary J Blige. let's put all your feelings into a rap.

Eye: Jessica is SAVAGE to Ben's ex and roomie. masturbate with a fork. bend some spoons in your puss, bitch!
Dirg: ex has a point, she's too young for him.

Rosa: don't graffiti on that mattress, you'll need it later.
Liev: have you heard of junk sleep, girlie?

Jessica: you should have seen that dude's O-face, it was so corny.
Rosa: girl better to get cum on your face than end up pregnant, that's your OWN cum-face.  
Kelly Oxford: i only get a Coke cumface. remember raves?

Ben's rich mom: what kind of work do you do?
Jessica: i'm an actress.........not when it comes to my anxiety disorder tho.
mom: do you know how to swim?
Jessica: little advice from the girl not good enough for your son: life's more than getting a man, honey.

Angelina Jolie: this is all so familiar: the Hollywood mansion, the blue hair, the being locked up in a psych ward...  

Eye: i mean this is a whole lotta nothing, her panic attack wasn't that big of a deal. she took a lipgloss and put it back.
Veruca Salt: we are so proud.
Eye: i've had bigger panic attacks in my sleep. i was hoping for a hospital death scene.

Jessica: sorry i crashed the car, dad. i thought you were having an affair.
Michael McKean: it's okay honey, it was Deen's fault. no i'm trying out all the beds with this woman. we jump on them to make sure they're sturdy.
Jessica: real estate sucks. i'm losing a lot of blood here from this headwound.
Michael: don't worry your blood is not sick. you can use my license, i'll just deepfake your head on my head.

dad: when our daughter goes crazy like this i can't talk.
mom: don't talk, dear, just breathe.

Jessica: yeah it's just weird standing next to my parents like this at the doctor's office their little helpless girl, cos i'm 30 years old...

The Fonz: anxiety meds. just like candy.

Jessica: so i went back to college.
Pat: oh no, you do NOT want to go back to college, that'll only make your anxiety worse...
Jessica: and i started fucking my bookstore boss.
Kelly Oxford: this entire film is EXACTLY what my early adulthood was. except for the trust fund. i was naive back then, i didn't understand the power dynamic yet. but at least the dude i got with was a reader.

Jessica: FUCK YOUR PhD. did Bill Gates get a PhD? did Reese Witherspoon and Rihanna get a PhD? did Jimmy Kimmel get a PhD?
Ben: come on, i'll skateboard you home.
Cher: i still love you, honey, you'll always be my daughter.
Jessica: g'night, folks.

Andre De Grasse: Zoe Rivas cheering me on lifted me up.

Brian Williams: America, it's time to forgive Pauly Shore.

Codrus: their strength?
Cotard: their strength comes from admitting they have anxiety.
Codrus: THAT'S WEAK!!! you can't have weak warriors on the battlefield!
Cotard: you'll see. times may be ancient now but these ancient times they are a'changin'. one in the crowd is a sensitive musician. they are hungry for the laughs to end.
Pauly Shore: ...
Codrus: you see up there? out there beyond the hill? the skies are pink with their bombs, hahahahahahahahahaha.
