October 14 08

i was all set. i had so many things to tell you.

i was going to tell you about my awesome Canadians-have-it-in-October Thanksgiving dinner…

(come on…not bad for a first-ever-effort!)

i was going to tell you about my newest obsession.

oh, yes, True Blood IS that good. (well, with the exception of the Shannen Doherty-esque Alberta-sized gap between Anna Paquin’s two front teeth) (and i do have to un-learn most of the things i learned about Vampires from the Twilight series…since so much is different, especially since now Vampires all came out of the coffin. heh.)

i was going to tell you about the awesome commercial i dug up while researching what the heck a McDLT is…because, apparently, many of you miss it…

i was going to tell you about how even though i love Robin Scherbatsky and her alter ego Robin Sparkles

and i get that her Canadian accent is supposed to be, well, ironic. or something.…but it’s just so irritating. couldn’t they have at least made her sound slightly Canadian and not some Fat Bastard/mildly slow Irish man hybrid?

but then something happened on my way to work.

something bad.

i was sitting in my car at a red light, waiting to pull into Tim Horton’s when i saw him. to my right. wearing flannel pajamas, which i thought was funny, in a i-totally-wish-that-i-was-wearing-mine type of way, not in a what-the-hell-is-a-grown-man-doing-out-in-them way. and then he pulled it out.

pulled.it.out.

i tried to look away and focus on something other than his, um, bits and the giant joker-like smile he had plastered on his face while he, um, tugged, at um, him, um, self.

i will never recover from this.

is 8:00am too early to start drinking?

-
  1. HA! You will never recover. This reminds me of a similar experience I had in London.
    I was riding in a cab to my hotel and we turned a corner and some old guy in a red flannel shirt and jeans was standing on the corner facing the road. He was swinging left to right and it seemed odd until I saw the stream. This crazy dude was making pee rainbows in broad daylight into the road.
    Boy did I feel safe that night with my hotel just 2 blocks from the incident…

  8. I don’t have the HBO so I won’t be seeing the sessy vampires doing naughty things to each other until a year after they’ve already done it. Sigh. DVD releases will be my friend. Sigh.

  11. You know, when I first saw that episode of Seinfed, I could not figure out what “it” was. I was young.

    Comment by slynnro on October 14, 2008
  12. What’s funny about Robin Scherbatzky’s accent is that with the exception of the times they try to over exaggerate it, it’s realish. The actress really is Canadian.

    My brother and his girlfriend went to Marineland this weekend and while they were looking at the walruses, his girlfriend saw one of the walruses sucking itself off. She was scarred. Totally scarred.

    Comment by mamatulip on October 14, 2008
  17. HE JERKED IT IN THE CAR? I think you’re supposed to wash your eyes out with vodka.

    In other news, I love that Jason Alexander commercial. As for Robin Sparkles, Cobie Smulders is actually Canadian which makes the exaggerated accent all the more annoying.

  22. a. I’ll take thanksgiving dinner anytime of the year!
    b. My brother made me watch epi #5 of True Blood on youtube. You know I’ll be up late playing catch up tonight.. it looks great.
    C. WTF? That is pure gross-ness. The same thing happened to my mom years ago. Driving down a long strech of highway to pick up my sister from camp – except the guy was looking at her… eww.

  25. OK, first of all, EW. I had this happen to me once when I was in middle school, and nothing quite describes the horror you feel. I always felt like it shouldn’t be such a shock, but man, IT IS.

    And secondly, yeah, I love True Blood, too! Sexy vampire love.

  27. Nope, you can go ahead and drink. I so would. That is not what one needs to see at 8am. Or ever.

    Once we were at a red light and a guy pulled it out to pee. In the middle of the street. Only in LA.

  39. Oh, so “longest red light” is what ‘it’ is called these days, eh? Wink, wink…

    8:00 a.m. is too early to start drinking. 8:01, however, is perfectly acceptable. I’ll bring the corkscrew.

    And Jason Alexander shilling for the McMan! Wow, now THAT just might make me start drinking in the mornings. The suit (MY EYES! MY EYES!)

    All props on the turkey, looks good!

  50. I love TrueBlood. But yeah, the gap between Anna’s teeth makes me want to pull a quarter out of my pocket and see if it will fit through there.

    Comment by Shamelessly Sassy on October 15, 2008
  51. 1) When I was in Israel for the year after Israel as a young, bright-eyed, innocent yeshiva girl, I was walking through a park to the grocery store and heard a cough in the bushes. Instinct told me to ignore it but I looked anyways and there stood a man with his pants down holding himself and smiling at me. I ran like hell.
    2) My current apartment is in the back of our building and faces the back of the building on the next street over. In that building, there are not one, but TWO exhibitionist masturbators that stand at the window and get their kicks out of masturbating to us, the supermodels next door (another story for another day), anybody who happens to be in sight. I had a shabbat meal a few weeks ago and in the middle of dinner, one girl said “uh, there’s a big, fat, totally naked guy staring at us”. And there he was, right by his window.
    He tends to like it when we eat, apparently, but it’s hard to eat when there’s this big fucking guy stroking himself while staring at you!

    Comment by Tali on October 15, 2008
  52. Noooooooooo – I turned the corner in a book store once and a guy did the same thing – I almost lost it. Ewwwww. Now I’m scarred, my minds eye is feeling very dirty… and plaid.

  53. Talk about your Red Light District.. ba dum dum.

    I’ll be here all night.

    Do you like True-Blood that much? I’m not totally sold on it. I have Anna Paquin issues. I do, however, like the guy playing her brother and the girl who plays her best friend. Still, I’m not sure.

  55. At least you are an adult. When I saw a man doing this I was a child. And so fearful that I didn’t even share the story with anyone. Truly traumatic. But when it happened again at an art store – yes the clerk pulled his wanker out – I was still quite disturbed. Sorry that this happened to you.
