Tonight I want to share with the world the talent of thiscantbesoy. She has managed to paraody/imitate me in a fashion that borders on genius and insanity. check this out
I began to laugh and gasp all at once. (so I kinda hyperventilated I think)

I thank you Miss Jo.

Tonight I am thinking of making carrot cake. I shall let the world know how that turns out.

Really, I want to post right now to share something I saw today. I wish I had a camera to capture what I was fortunate enough to see.

Today I saw a customer who was sporting an outfit that makes everything seem amateur in comparison.
This particular individual was wearing very short cut-off jeans, a buckskin fringed jacket (two sizes too big) and a yarmulke that had iron-on decals of American Flags and Israeli flags. To make it all complete he was a very tiny Asian man.

I thought to myself, I wish this is something cogshiftingman and kitaryufinn could witness. They would appreciate the beauty of the moment.

So that was work.

I beg you to invest in a digital camera, and take it to work with you. If it's one that also takes short movies with sound, so much the better. I anticipate a Comedy Channel special in a year's time.

You realize it would have to be a teeny tiny little camera that no one would notice. Like...James Bond tiny. Where would I get something like that?

Some day....I will film my life. Just for your entertainment.

thiscantbesoy has a gift, indeed. i'd try to imitate you, but her effort has trumped whatever i might turn out.

*you*, however, should try to do an imitation of Nigella Lawson. better yet: Nigella on shrooms.

An imitation of Nigella Lawson on shrooms would involve covering myself in mashed potatoes and claiming that I can hear the cheddar cheese telling me the secrets of the ages.
During the commercial breaks I would stare at the meat, because I know it was trying to look into my brain.

It would also involve being thrown out of Oxford University for drug abuse. Can you do that?

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

tsk, I can do better then that.
I will be thrown out of Oxford for doing obscene things in those robes the students wear.

all this would have to be written about in florid prose, of course.

"The perfectly rounded tenderloin sits limply on the counter, its juiciness only slightly apparent from an outside touch. It is speculating about my thoughts with the hardened intensity of a candy apple shell."

After a brisk fall walk I came upon some silky looking liberty caps. I partook of a few while lying in a frosted meadow. After a shortwhile they had taken their affect. It was brilliant. I decided I had to commune with the velvety potatoes which I had mashed earlier. I began to drape them on my bust. Molding it like a clay. I was a living Botticelli. I had taken starch and made it art. Yet I didn't quite feel like my lovely self. For I knew something was amiss. The flacid porkchops which I was going to slice open like a ripe fig, was spying into my thoughts. I knew if I watched it carefully it would not be able to take away my joyful innocence. It was as if I stuck in Italy in that particular train station. The porter was trying to creep into my thoughts...seducing me in the dingy restroom early on a tuesday morning when I was hoping to arrive in Florence.

*cracks up*
Well I once read, "Women in love" and then I saw the film.

Sure I had had some "experiences" but the scene with Alan Bates dicussing the fig left me quite silent.

So that was a bit of my inspiration.

Cackles*
I should write a whole post ala DH Lawrence.

Thank you, jbonne, and thank you, my lovely gfrancie. I love that you've recognized my insanity as well as my genius. :o]

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I think you need a McArthur grant.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I dare you to imitate me.
I would like to see everyone give it a go.
That way I can get an idea of people's true impressions.

You have THE most interesting work stories. Someday I want to be one of them, just come down there dressed in some crazy getup and ask you questions about where the books on cursing seaweed as a means of coping with shingles are.

Someday!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't bat an eye.
After you left of course I would laugh like crazy and tell the world about you.

It is like playing Jane Goodall. You interact in a quiet way with these foreign creatures and then make your observations far away.

upon reading thiscantbesoy's entry, i found i was compelled to seek out your journal. i am transfixed and therefore am adding you as a friend.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Well heckfire. Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy what you read.

[robiewankenobie.livejournal.com]

i will now spend my day looking for opportunities to fit *heckfire* into conversation.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Heckfire you should use it often.
