Lunch with the Boys: Three's a Crowd

Brian came to lunch with a problem.

BRIAN: There's this cute couple that I hear does threeways, but I'm not sure how to get an offer from them to join in.

I need to find new friends.

SCOOTER: Just ask them.
ME: Just ask them?
TURNER: You can't ask them. They have to broach the subject.
ME: Are we really talking about this?
BRIAN: Jump in or go eat somewhere else, Broccoli. This train ain't stopping now.

Don't judge me, but I stayed.

Sociological issues involving sluts always fascinates me.

ME: Okay fine. I agree you can't come right out and ask them, but this still seems like a pretty easy fix.
BRIAN: Send them a card?
ME: Get drunk with them.
SCOOTER: Now we're talking.
BRIAN: I don't know.
SCOOTER: What do you mean you don't know? If they pay for the drinks, that's an ideal situation!
BRIAN: I don't think they drink that much.
TURNER: Are they Mormon?
BRIAN: Uh--
TURNER: Because if they're Mormon, I want in on that.

Turner has a Mormon thing. We don't say anything about it because I have a British thing, Brian has an Australian thing, and Scooter is into anybody that lives somewhere where killing a deer with your bare hands is legal.

SCOOTER: You need to just find a way to put it out there but be subtle about it.
BRIAN: How would I do that?
SCOOTER: Go on Facebook, and put up a status being like 'Ohhh, I had a dream last night about hooking up with a couple and it was amazing. I wish that could happen in real life with people I know.'
ME: Why don't you just put up a billboard in front of their house that says 'Do Me?'
SCOOTER: I tried that once. I still get text messages from weirdoes.

Turner yelped, which is as scary as it sounds.

It means he has an idea.

TURNER: I have an idea!

See?

TURNER: Hit on the Ugly One.

We all nodded our heads in agreement.

In any couple that engages in consistent three-way activity, the uglier one of the two is always the one that initiates it.

This may seem odd, until you consider that anybody dating someone incredibly hot, and (usually) not that bright, is dealing with insecurity issues. Getting a hot boyfriend will satisfy them for awhile, but after that they need to move onto harder stuff (pun not intended).

ME: One guy's in control. You get the Ugly One to like you and he'll get you in the door.
SCOOTER: The back--
ME: Don't do it.
SCOOTER: Sorry.
BRIAN: They're both cute though.
TURNER: One of them has to be at least slightly uglier.
BRIAN: Well, one's got a little more weight on--
ALL: That's the one.

I know we sound like horrible people, but it's this or discuss politics, and if you know anything about politics, you know this is much deeper.

A List of People Who Can Go to Hell Now That I Can't Have Elizabeth Warren

So today was a rough day for everybody who isn't a @#$%-ing #$%hole. Let's just start there. If that upsets you, by all means, go straight to hell. This entire rant is going to be exactly what it sounds like. I am mad and I am going to exercise my right to BLOG ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S 1995, SO BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP. I really don't even know where to start, so let's just jump right in with the first person who comes to mind. Bloomberg, go to hell.  You really didn't have anything specific to do with today, but you can just go to hell for spending an ungodly amount of money on literally nothing.  I mean, you could have lit millions of dollars on fire and at least warmed the hands of the homeless, but instead, you made tv stations across the country that are already owned by Conservatives rich, so kudos to you and go to hell. Amy Klobuchar, I STUCK UP FOR YOU AMY.  I got into FIGHTS on SOCIAL MEDIA while DEFENDING your sorry, self-interested ass.  You know ...

Theater and the Outbreak

After last week's interview, a representative from a theater that recently experienced the results of opening too soon reached out to speak with me. I want to thank this person for coming forward in the hopes that it'll change some minds about what's safe and what isn't when it comes to the performing arts. Here's the interview: ME:  So this wasn't a full production or-- THEM:  No. It was us trying to do a little something for friends and donors. ME:  Who is 'us?' THEM:  The board of _____. ME:  And how long have you been on the board? THEM:  Three years. ME:  What was this going to be? THEM:  There's a, uh, beautiful park here in town, and we wanted to do an outdoor performance of a Shakespeare as a benefit, because, as you know, theaters are having a hard time right now paying the bills. We checked with the local government and the health department for the state to make sure we were doing everything the way we needed to in order to keep everyon...

Theater and The Big Bad Wolf

My conversation today is unique in that it's with someone I had never spoken to until the time came to do this interview.  If you read last week's conversation, you know that this person was referred to me.  They are a theater artist with a long career and impressive resume who has since decided to leave their respective theater community. Here's the interview: ME:  I feel so liberated talking to you already because you're from so far away. THEM:  Canada's not that far away. ME:  You're my first international conversation. THEM:  I feel like I have to represent all of my country right now. ME:  You do.  You really do. THEM:  I've been preparing for this my whole life. ME:  You were--I don't know if the word should be 'referred,' but someone said--You need to talk to so-and-so, and here we are. THEM:  Here we are. ME:  Now, your story is one I think we've heard a lot, but what was interesting to me in the con...
