My Wain Man

I was just reading a story in the New York Times (cue "boooooo" from Palin/McCain rallies) about how Kevin Smith's new movie, "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," and David Wain's new movie, "Role Models," both star Judd Apatow regulars and have Apatow-esque plots and dialogue.

It just made me remember -- god, I love The State, and god, I love everything The State's members are up to now.

Kevin "Red-head Gay" Allison -- don't know, but it's probably cool

Michael Ian "Schwartz" Black -- I LOVE him on the "I Love (some decade)" shows

Ben Garant -- I LOVE him on Reno 911! (have you guys ever seen the episode where some guy wants the sheriffs to rescue his novel manuscript from a burning building and they make him describe it first, and then they all just go, "That's 'Frequency,' with Dennis Quaid"?)

Todd "Chicken Sandwich Carl" Holoubek -- I LOVE him as the NYU ITP equipment guy

Michael Patrick "Who?" Jann -- he was the tall guy, right?

Kerri "The Girl" Kenney -- her character on Reno 911! is one of the funniest things ever, especially when she dates that serial killer guy

Thomas "Jesus of Nazereth" Lennon -- okay, no wait, HIS character on Reno 911! is one of the funniest things ever, especially when he thinks that hunky guy is his son

Joe "Let's go to the zoo and watch the monkeys do it!" Lotruglio -- he's been in a few pretty good commercials, I guess

Ken "I wanna dip my balls in it" Marino -- steady work, and though I haven't yet seen "The Ten" (oh, the shame), he looked hilarious in the trailer

Michael "Doug" Showalter -- arguably the most successful mainstream actor of the bunch, though not so great in his ouevre, "The Baxter"

David "Crispy Puffs: They're Pretty Good!" Wain -- actually the most successful, he directed most of The State's episodes, "Wet Hot American Summer," "The Ten," and now "Role Models," a real, well promote movie; plus, he was hilarious on Reno 911! when he was pretending to be a special needs person just so he could get someone to wash his balls

I love you all!!

I actually sent this

To Whom It May Concern:

What does the $70 get us, besides "heavy appetizers"? $70 plus a cash bar? Plus paying for my boyfriend to come? I can't afford that, and I know of several people who will not be attending, for no other reason than because of the price.

Some of us may even organize an alternate reunion -- one friend said he might just go to the Moose Preserve and hope some people from the reunion walked over and said hi to him. And he and his wife both have successful jobs and own a house, and even they can't afford it.

I'm glad so many of my classmates are successful, but this is ridiculous. The last reunion was very nice, and it was only $20. I can't understand why $70 would not include any drinks. What are we supposed to do, ask our parents to pay for us?

I'm really really disappointed. I guess I'll try to go into financial services and see you all at the 15 year.

Pumpkining

I used to spend quite a bit of time using knives, fake blood, etc, to create a terrifying pumpkin experience for trick-or-treaters. But this year I realized a much simpler method: carve a regular smiley pumpkin about 3 weeks prior to Halloween. By the time it rolls around, what you have is a semi-decomposed, blackened skin-looking pumpkin that looks like it may murder you in your sleep, or at least give you some sort of bad rash.

Chris Bowman is a dick (Buccafuri, not so much)

Surprising, I know, as he was always the smiley skinny kid and pretty much a goody two-shoes. But Saturday night, I was at this place in Clawson called the Hideout, to review it for the News. (It's nothing special, but they do have a burger, fries and beer lunch special for $4.99. That's like the opposite deal of the LHS reunion.) Anyway, I start to walk over to some guys that my photographer is taking pictures of and then I realize, it's Chris Bowman and Ryan Buccafuri.

Buc looked different, much more adult (though I would hope so, because in high school, he looked like a middle schooler and his brother looked like a pre-schooler). Bowman looked the same, and he should, because I've seen him a few times in the past few years.

But okay, so I say, "Oh, hey Bowman! How you doin'?" He barely smiled at me, so I continue, "I'm here writing about this place for the News. Do you come here a lot? Do you like it?" And he just goes, "Don't do the reporter thing. It's, it's weird."

'Scuse me? It's weird? No, it's not weird to do the "reporter thing," because I'm here, on assignment, reporting on this place. So why not ask someone I know about the place? What??

Fuck you, Bow.

Also note, he and Buc were wearing shirts that said, "1st Annual Whiffin' at Balls Classic."

Y’all done get the Lahser Reunion invitation? Y’all done going? I’ve been looking for an opportunity to spend $80 on appetizers, but don’t think I’ll make it in the end.

I have a new band name for Mike: The Osgood Schlatters. I'm sure I am aware that this could also be a fine soccer team name as well.
