Okay, I resisted Facebook for the longest time, and I STILL patently refuse to EVER join MySpace, but this just totally made my day:
That's right. Jay Mcfuckin'Carroll is my homie. Sometimes it pays to get drunk and send friend requests to random reality star/fashion designers while purchasing Flight of the Conchords CDs on iTunes. And yeah, I'm not ashamed to say that's my idea of a rockin' Friday night.*
But the fact remains...I'm friends with Jay Mccarroll and you're not.
*Okay, so maybe I am. A little bit. Man, I need to get out more.

As tempting as your little mini-feed and Jay are, I am still resisting the Facebook! BUT this means I am friends with someone who is "friends" with someone who knows Tim Gunn! Aaaaand, this means that I am friends with someone who is "friends" with someone who was on a reality show on the same channel as Daddy Tom Colicchio!
You are totally too cool for school.
I know it won't surprise you any when I say I have no idea who that is.
But I can tell you're excited by it, so good on ya :)
I agree with Em -- totally excited that I am friends with someone who is "friends" with someone who knows Tim Gunn. Totally want him to be my shopping buddy and dress me...
And, Em, am I wrong in saying that Tom Colicchio is one of the hottest men on the planet? I'm not sure I can handle seeing him in that blue chef's coat in real life...
omg, #1, you are not wrong at ALL. Colicchio is hella hot. Did you see the one Top Chef reunion show where they called him out on gay men loving him? I'm all, of COURSE they do! Now that they have ridiculous challenges on there, I would totally go on Top Chef just to meet him. I would be all "my movie is Chocolat. And I'm going to pour Magic Shell all over Chef Colicchio's head." And I love calling him Daddy Tom, 'cause it freaks Josh out. :-D
Okay, you people are KIND of missing the point. You SHOULD be excited to have a friend who is "friends" with Jay Mccarroll!!! (Mup, he was the first winner of Project Runway. And still my favorite winner to date. Especially since I saw him in person at HotDocs, and he is totally the same person he is on TV. I admire that. Plus, his clothes are uber-cute.)
I mean, I love Tim Gunn and Tom Colicchio and all, but neither of them would ever be my Facebook friend(tm).
And Em, you can try to resist, but you WILL be assimilated. The Facebook is WAY better than the MySpace, and you're already halfway there.
OK, so I don't know who Jay Mcfuckin'Carroll is. I assume he was featured in some sort of hot doc.
I do know this, however -- my pants are on fire. Despite claims to the contrary, (a) KV does not appear as a character in Cat's Cradle (which was awesome), but does in Breakfast of Champions (which was ho hum). I read them both in the last year, and, as I am want to do, confused them in my memory. And (b), I just weighed myself and I come in at 156 lbs. Jesus. Talk about the professor 16.
Re: FL
Yes. See previous comment and previous post to get the Jay Mccarroll/HotDocs reference. Honestly, do none of you people watch reality TV? Actually, don't answer. Clearly Em and #1 do, and the rest of you have "better things to do with your time." Whatevs.
Oh, and nobody has responded one way or another about Flight of the Conchords. I take that to mean none of you are familiar with them. YouTube them immediately. I recommend starting by entering "hiphopopotamus" in the search field. You will not be sorry.
I agree re: BoC being ho hum. Don't really get why people list that among his greatest - I found it fairly disposable (however, at least it wasn't totally sleep-inducing, which is more than I can say for some things of his I've read - oh yeah, my love DOES cost a thing). I think he spent most of his career/life coasting on a reputation that was based upon a few books. Luckily, those few books are BRILLIANT, so the hordes (myself included) are more than happy to keep reading and latch onto the one snappy soundbite we are always guaranteed, no matter how ho-hum the book. And that is why I relegated him to the B-list for my dream dinner party.
And THANK GOD. I mean, don't get me wrong, I have definitely outweighed you in the past, but the notion of being the same weight as my boss who is a) male and 2) taller than me made me want to throw myself in front of a bus JUST little bit. My body image and I are not on the best of terms right now.
You would think that if I'm writing comments this long, I could actually be writing posts. But you would be wrong, friends.
