Like last year at this time, Mikey has abandoned us for the sunny shores of Adam Corolla, North Carolina. We can only imagine that he’s again eating giant tubs of cheese balls, drinking gallons of alcohol and feasting on just a bit too much Nutella. I only hope that this year’s gluttonous behavior has not turned off his travel companion: Jeopardy! Champion Ty Cone. After a week of debauchery, it’s needless to say that Mikey is in no shape to write a Friday Five. So in his absence, Michelle M. and I have decided to each write a Friday 2.5. Because 2.5 + 2.5 = 5. I think. Yay math! Here goes…
Michelle M.’s First: Harry!
When we bought our house it came with a sunroom. We found out after the first rainfall that the sunroom came with major problems including leaky walls and a crap foundation. It would have to go.
Harry and his friends were going to tear it out this summer, but Harry ended up doing it all by himself. I mean, I know it’s not like he changed the ballast in a fluorescent light fixture, but still, I’m pretty darn impressed!
Adam’s First: Topping my list this week is Zoila Chavez, the housekeeper on Bravo’s Flipping Out. Over five seasons as Jeff Lewis’s house keeper on Flipping Out, Zoila has proven herself to be a smart-mouthed, occasionally working, hilarious addition to the design/house-flipping reality show. This season, Zoila had a facelift and recovered for a few episodes. That left Jeff to clean up for himself (including washing Zoila’s underwear) until he could find a temporary replacement. Hilarity ensued…
Michelle M.’s Second: The Woman in Black.I saw the trailer for this movie the other day. I LOVE scary movies. Especially the ones that keep me from sleeping at night. This one has lots of spooky elements: old timey photos, a decrepit house, rhyming, little girls, creepy ass dolls, creepy ass clown dolls, creepy ass monkey dolls, mud and a ghost. I can hardly wait! But I’ll have to – it doesn’t come out until Feb. 2012 : (.
Adam’s Second: This week, my #2 is Star Wars XXX: A Porn Parody. Yesterday I did the unthinkable: I watched straight porn. And as you know, that’s not my thing. But lemme explain: I watched Star Trek The Next Generation – A XXX Parody! It was everything I had hoped for (and some things that I hadn’t hoped for). The story was great, the actors did a decent job, and the sets and special effects were phenomenal! Commander Data even had makeup … all over his body! All that has left me feeling even more excited for my next straight porn experience, Star Wars XXX: A Porn Parody. Check out the totally SFW trailer:
Michelle M.’s Half: Adam’s tags. Sometimes they’re funnier than the posts. Some of my favorites: tam loves worms, chris d. got naked on his blog, harry should keep his day job, michelle doesn’t care about adam’s feelings, mikey loves video posts, I can always lie and pretend my mistakes are games, poor craig probably cried and why do we have to keep looking at polt’s ass?
Adam’s Half: My half this week is none other than Tam! Tam was a great sport when C&R had a lot of fun with her on our (2-day) “TamWeek.” On top of that, she also sent me a present this week — for no reason! Tam sent me a copy ofThe Vegan Table that she snagged at a Borders going-out-of-business sale when she was in Chicago last week. She’s so nice! Thanks Tam! I’m totally inspired to use this cookbook when Michelle M. and I rip of Anna & Kristina’s Grocery Bag with our new TV series on OWN. Stay tuned! I’m so excited! (And delusional!)
Great idea, Tam! That’s such a thoughtful idea!
This week’s Friday Five is made up of Harry, Zoila, The Woman In Black, Star Wars Porn, Adam’s Tags and Tam! What a great mix! What’s in your Friday Five?
Summer is over; well at least the way it is observed in most of the United States where “summer” means the period of time between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Students young and old are heading back to school and the rest of us are facing the crush of tasks that must be accomplished before the holidays start. Before we buckle down into the fall, let’s look back and remember what the warm days have given us. Did we get all of our summer activities done? Or did the monstrous heat and humidity keep you trapped in your a/c? We already learned what Chloë wanted to do this summer and I truly hope her fight against Beaujolais nouveau was successful. But what about me?
I don’t know that I had such rigid goals as Chloë did, but I think my summer was quite successful. I had two vacations that covered three weeks of time and eight states. On one of those vacations, Adam managed to get me to climb a mountain (a mountain that he calls a hill) and then I naturally went tumbling down. Between the two vacations, Adam drove like a nervous granny to pick me up in the city and take me to the Puntabulous Pool Party. Of course we were maddeningly late because Adam insisted that I visit my childhood home, but the party was a great success even if Adam didn’t succeed in getting me to take my clothes off and jump into the pool. Finally I took a week long trip to North Carolina with friends. Throughout all of this Adam and I made a bunch of you try to lose weight even though summer is not exactly a great time for abstaining from excess.
Despite my failure to lose all the weight I wanted, I think this summer has been a fantastic success. I’ve enjoyed time with old friends and made new ones. I’ve taken more time off this summer than I have ever done before in my life. I’m incredibly grateful for the past three months of fun and I now know why people like this season despite the unbearable heat. So here is a final toast to summer! Did you get everything you wanted out of the sun this year? Leave it in the comments.
