Aimee, WTF??? If he "needs more and needs it now," then tell him that YOU need him to be very very VERY specific as to what he needs so that you can provide it. You can't do the job he wants you to do if you don't *know* what he wants.

Put the burden on him.

I was glaring at him in that face. honey - you know the one.

Man, I just flinched sitting here at my desk.

I predict this will end in blood.

Happy Birthday, K-Bug!

Egad, Aimee.

: pops some popcorn, waits expectantly :

Happy Birthday, K-Bug!

And, yes, MM, that commercial is funnier than shit. Although I of course always thought the Pilgrim was a Puritan.

Er...Sean brought that up. I offered to kill Aimee's boss.

I can see where the confusion comes from.

Sean, YES. So great. One of the few ads where you watch it and think, "God, those must have been some fun auditions!"

Snerk. Yes, despite many reports and theories to the contrary, MM and I are still not the same person.

You used to be part of the proof of that, having seen us both in the same place at the same time on multiple occasions, JZ.

Now? Not so much.

Yeah, I guess the Pilgrim is more of a Puritan.

It's part of a whole series, Snickers, I think. And the previous ones were okay, but the Greensleeves ad rockets into the stratosphere of comedic genius. Not the least reason being we finally get to see just who all is in that car with the viking and the puritan.

Also? Still not MM.

JZ, you caught me. Sean is actually a poorly constructed robot twin of me.

It's the same trick Superman used to use to convince Lois that her suspicions re: secret identity were the products of loony-cuckoo-ness.

In this example I, of course, am Superman.

I'm waiting for the real estate agent to call me back so I can drop off my application and then drive back to RI to finish my laundry.

That Greensleeves commercial cracks me up, especially since the one to begin singing it is the Maori/Pacific warrior dude, who has a gorgeous tenor voice that doesn't fit with his fierce demeanor.

Speaking of amusing commercials, and considering the thread I'm in, I have to mention the late-night ad I saw while watching my recording of "What's My Line" reruns on GSN earlier this week. It was the first time I've seen an ad for a "personal massager"! It's from Trojan, and the ad is pretty funny--two younger women are giggling over the product's ad in a magazine while sitting in some public location, and this older woman (in her 60s, I'd say) is obviously overhearing them. Finally, when one of the younger women asks the other where she could get one of those things, the older woman chirps in with "Online, of course! That's where I got mine!" and then they all bust out laughing.

All I can think of is the elderly man who's up late watching some B&W show he used to like back in the day, and he's confronted with this ad.
