			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After weeks and weeks of mediocre stats (even though I promote my <a title="I even promote my blog on my blog.  Inception!" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/">blog</a> relentlessly on other websites, through word of mouth  with my friends and co-workers, as well as putting up posters around town to try to trick people into visiting my site), I sign in today to see this:</p>
<div id="attachment_393" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 586px"><a href="http://dongtacular.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/rsz_wp_screen_grab_april_fools_stats2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-393" title="rsz_wp_screen_grab_april_fools_stats2" src="http://dongtacular.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/rsz_wp_screen_grab_april_fools_stats2.jpg?w=576&#038;h=337" alt="april fools stats screen capture" width="576" height="337" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Woo hoo! I&#039;m popular! 100 views in a single day!</p></div>
<p>I somehow have 100 views, and it&#8217;s not even my lunch break!  Look at that beautiful, towering bar on the right, dwarfing my other days stats!  People love me and my entirely inappropriate posts about <a title="Can busty female models sell t-shirts to men?" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/09/10/can-busty-female-models-sell-t-shirts-to-men/">breasts</a> and <a title="Pubic hair styles for Men – Part 1" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/08/24/pubic-hair-styles-for-men-part-1/">pubic hair</a>!</p>
<p>After a quick victory dance to <a title="Great novelty song." href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97RjuC9YeXg">Disco Duck</a> (which was conveniently playing on the radio at the time), I sat down to assess why I was suddenly a moderately successful blogger.</p>
<div id="attachment_394" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 424px"><a href="http://dongtacular.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/rsz_1wp_screen_grab_april_fools_stats-close-up.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-394" title="rsz_1wp_screen_grab_april_fools_stats close up" src="http://dongtacular.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/rsz_1wp_screen_grab_april_fools_stats-close-up.jpg?w=414&#038;h=223" alt="april fools stats close up" width="414" height="223" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hold on, only 10 views today?</p></div>
<p>Ok, so there must be some glitch in the stats.  That says I only have 10 views, but the graph shows that I have 100.  The graph must be correct, right?</p>
<p>Oh, wait.  It&#8217;s April 1st.  <strong>April Fools Day</strong>.  And I am the fool.</p>
<p>Did anyone else fall for this?</p>
<p>EDIT:  I now have nearly 250 hits today!  Although, it says <strong>April fools</strong> in bold when you hover over the bar.  Damn fake stats.</p>
<div id="attachment_400" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 579px"><a href="http://dongtacular.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/rsz_wp_screen_grab_april_fools_stats3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-400" title="rsz_wp_screen_grab_april_fools_stats3" src="http://dongtacular.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/rsz_wp_screen_grab_april_fools_stats3.jpg?w=569&#038;h=304" alt="April Fools is starting to make me feel super cool!" width="569" height="304" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">And the hits keep coming!</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ivan Reitman (catch up on <a title="Incredible Celebrity Encounter – Part 1" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2011/02/13/incredible-celebrity-encounter-part-1/">Part 1</a>, if you are confused as to why he&#8217;s here) hobbled back inside my place 4 minutes later, reeking of intoxicants (also, peruse <a title="Incredible Celebrity Encounter – Part 2 – Interview with Ivan Reitman" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/incredible-celebrity-encounter-part-2-interview-with-ivan-reitman/">Part 2</a> if you still have no idea what is happening).  His bloodied feet were wrapped in newspapers, but they were still bleeding all over my carpet.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ivan, thanks for coming back.  Wow, your feet are bleeding profusely.  Should I get you some bandages, or take you to the hospital?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No thanks.  I&#8217;ve got a condition, I forget what it&#8217;s called, but it&#8217;s where your feet start to bleed after you run across broken glass barefooted.  It&#8217;s nothing really.  My doctor says it&#8217;s quite common.&#8221;  He then propped his dripping feet up on my coffee table, and began gingerly peeling the layers of newspaper off.  I watched in shock as he rolled the soaking paper into fist sized balls, and stuffed them into his pants pockets.  It was excruciating to observe, but at least he was making an effort to not get any blood on my couch.</p>
<p>&#8220;Great.  Are you ready to continue the interview?  I&#8217;ve got a few more questions I&#8217;d like to ask,&#8221;  I gestured to my notepad, on the table, now underneath a growing bloody-newspaper-ball pyramid.  &#8221;Or if that phone call rattled you too much, we can meet again later.  You do look a little unsettled.&#8221;  His appearance could be due to the loss of blood, and possibly the alcohol he no doubt imbibed while outside.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 485px"><img class=" " title="More hand gestures, more funny!" src="http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/1614/handgesturecropped.jpg" alt="More hand gestures, more funny!" width="475" height="267" /><p class="wp-caption-text">You can tell when he&#039;s drunk, as he gestures wildly when speaking.</p></div>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m fine.  That <strong>skank-waffle</strong> keeps calling me, and it makes me really upset.  I had to go for an anger-walk.  But let&#8217;s get this thing done, I need to get home and brush my teeth before my dentist appointment.&#8221;  With that, he snatched the microphone off the table, belched into it loudly, and shouted, &#8220;<strong>LET&#8217;S DO IT</strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">dongtacular</span>:  Ugh, that was a vile burp.  Were you drinking outside?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Ivan Reitman</span>:  Nooooo&#8230;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img title="Silly, yet fatherly.  I like this guy." src="http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/102/closesmile4.jpg" alt="Silly, yet fatherly.  I like this guy." width="400" height="592" /><p class="wp-caption-text">A terrible liar always grins madly whenever he&#039;s not telling the truth.</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">DT</span>:  Come on, you&#8217;re obviously drunk.  What have you been drinking?  It smells horrendous, like furniture varnish.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  <a title="Or the ridiculous drink of poorly written movies." href="http://flavorwire.com/54248/scotchka-and-the-room-the-best-bad-drinks-for-the-best-bad-movie">Scotchka</a>! The drink of professional filmmakers!</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">DT</span>:  Where did you get the scotchka?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  From my mule.  The saddlebags on my mule.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">DT</span>:  You have a mule?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  Well, I didn&#8217;t walk here, ya<strong> d</strong><strong>ouche-wagon</strong>.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">DT</span>:  Are you <a title="Incredible Celebrity Encounter – Part 1" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2011/02/13/incredible-celebrity-encounter-part-1/">still drunk from 2 nights ago</a>?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  No, of course not.  I&#8217;m just drunk again.  Although, I haven&#8217;t slept since then, and I&#8217;ve been drinking constantly the whole time.  I take it back, <strong>I am</strong> still drunk.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">DT</span>:  Whatever.  Let&#8217;s get back on topic, I&#8217;ll just slide my notepad out from under this wad of bloody papers, and, ok.  How was your experience with Natalie Portman filming <em><a title="Looks like it has some good cameos, at least." href="http://www.nostringsattachedmovie.com/">No Strings Attached</a></em>?  Is she as needy as the tabloids say?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  Natalie was phenomenal.  And damn sexy.   The only thing that was difficult was that she <a title="Heh.  Hidden vagina joke." href="http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/730/between2fernswithnatali.jpg">changes her hairstyle</a> more often than I drink.  Multiple times a day.  But she is always still hot.  She gets hotter as the day goes on and I am further sloshed.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 512px"><img class="  " title="What was the movie where she had pink hair?  That was hot." src="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/9624/rsznatalieportmanhairst.jpg" alt="What was the movie where she had pink hair?  That was hot." width="502" height="297" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Many looks, always stunning.</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">DT</span>:  I can&#8217;t argue with you there.  I&#8217;ve got a <a title="Politically motivated girls with perky nipples always have a special place in my heart." href="http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/1411/hillaryclintonnataliepo.jpg">bit of a thing for her too</a>.  Now, did you have any other involvement with this film, other than directing?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  Yup, I produced it too.  And, I came up with the idea for the <em>No Strings Attached</em> poster!  I said, &#8216;Put Natalie naked on it.  That&#8217;ll sell tickets.&#8217;  They told me we couldn&#8217;t, so I said, &#8216;Make it look like she was just naked, you know, have naked parts hanging out.&#8217;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><img class="   " title="Yet another rubber-stamp rom-com poster." src="http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/6593/nostringsattached.jpg" alt="Yet another rubber-stamp rom-com poster." width="480" height="274" /><p class="wp-caption-text">That sucks! &quot;Koocher&quot; is more naked than she is!</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">DT</span>:  After seeing <em><a title="Go see it.  Phenomenal." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Swan_(film)">Black Swan</a></em> twice, I feel like her performance in that film could be tainted by you putting her in <a title="She's so awesome.  I wish she wasn't married." href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/19/natalie-portman-really-pr_n_810855.html">this movie in theatres at the same time</a>. What did you think of Natalie in <em>Black Swan</em>?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  I haven&#8217;t seen <em>Black Swan</em>.  I only watch <a title="Incredible Celebrity Encounter – Part 1" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2011/02/13/incredible-celebrity-encounter-part-1/"><strong>shitty</strong> movies, remember</a>? But I did hear that she was doing some lesbian shit in that flick.  I should check it out.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img title="Two of my favourite actresses kissed and I missed it?!?!" src="http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/7463/withscarlettjohansen.jpg" alt="Two of my favourite actresses kissed and I missed it?!?!" width="420" height="304" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Unfortunately, Scarlett Johansson is not in Black Swan.</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">DT</span>:  Alright, it looks like the sun is up.  I guess that means you have to go, according to your &#8220;Twilight Interview Rule.&#8221;  One last question, are you drunk <strong>all</strong> the time?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  I&#8217;m not drunk <strong>all</strong> the time, just <strong>most</strong> of the time.  Like whenever I have to go to a photoshoot, or a press docket.  Basically, whenever people are taking pictures of me, I&#8217;m drunk.  I&#8217;ve got that goofy, toothy grin on my face.  I don&#8217;t normally look like that, but the only pictures you ever see of me I look drunk, because I am.  COOL!  If we&#8217;re done now, let me turn off your recorder for you.</p>
<p>Ivan smoothly tapped the recorder with his bloody heel.  &#8221;I should probably go, but this was a lot of fun.  Thanks for promoting my film.  Can I have this?&#8221;  He swiped the bottle of schnapps as he stood up and slid towards the door, as if his crimson-scabbed feet were roller-skates.  I can&#8217;t fathom how he was still bleeding.  There was a man-sized puddle of blood in my living room.  My carpet would need to be shampooed again.  Or burned.</p>
<p>I got up to see him off, but he had sprinted away, leaving footprints of scabbed skin and a waft of alcohol in his wake.  There is no better way to start a day than watching a drunken, giggling man ride off into the sunrise, as the sound of a galloping mule wakes your neighbours.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>47.5 hours later (<a title="Incredible Celebrity Encounter – Part 1" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2011/02/13/incredible-celebrity-encounter-part-1/">read Part 1</a> if you haven&#8217;t already), I was waiting in my <a title="Sweaty, orgasmic, magical Ping-Pong" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/sweaty-orgasmic-magical-ping-pong/">humble abode</a> for <a title="What a dude." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Reitman">Ivan Reitman</a> to arrive for our scheduled interview.  I had cleaned up the place a bit, which actually involved hiding nearly everything I owned, as everything in my home is embarrassing.  I arranged my living room so that the two couches were facing each other, with a coffee table in between.</p>
<p>Now arranged tastefully on the coffee table:</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 360px"><img class="   " title="I'm a little cluttered most times." src="http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/7149/ct6q.jpg" alt="I'm a little cluttered most times." width="350" height="263" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The table before I hid everything. I have no idea where most of this came from.</p></div>
<ul>
<li>my notepad (with prepared questions)</li>
<li>2 pens</li>
<li>2 pencils</li>
<li>an eraser</li>
<li>a pencil sharpener</li>
<li>a bottle of <em>Wite-Out</em> brand liquid paper</li>
<li>a bottle of peach schnapps (the only liquor I had, as I haven&#8217;t drank at home since my blog became so popular)</li>
<li>2 glass tumblers (clean)</li>
<li>4 coasters (if I have any pet-peeves, it&#8217;s savages who don&#8217;t use coasters)</li>
<li>My reel-to-reel tape recorder, with <a title="Classics work the best." href="http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/1346/telefunk9.jpg">microphone</a> (never failed me before!)</li>
<li>A bag of cotton candy (I heard the Ivan loves the stuff)</li>
<li>A copy of <em>Leif the Viking-Adulterer, </em>the screenplay that I wrote (just in case Ivan is looking for a new movie to make.)</li>
</ul>
<p>As I was admiring my beautifully arranged items, the front door suddenly burst open with a crash of wind and blinding light.  The edges of my notepad started furiously whipping, creating an unsettling sound.  Despite this fanfare, Ivan slid inside, closed the door gently, gave me a quick &#8220;Hey, sup,&#8221;  and removed his shoes before darting for the couch and shoving a fistful of cotton candy into his mouth.</p>
<p>&#8220;I see you&#8217;ve prepared my favorite food.  I like people who do research beforehand.  Thanks for accommodating my schedule.  I&#8217;m a very busy man, so I do most of my interviews at 4:15 AM.&#8221;  When Ivan said the interview would be in 2 days, he meant it.  Down to the minute.</p>
<p>&#8220;Good to see you.  Thanks for taking off your shoes, I just had the carpet shampooed.  Not to be rude, but did you forget to wear socks?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Nuh, I never wear &#8216;em.  They strangle the ankles.  You should take yours off.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Thanks for the tip, but my feet get cold.  Should we begin the interview now?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You betcha!  But remember, it&#8217;s a Q &amp; A style interview, and you have to record absolutely everything I say.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I did remember you saying that, and I&#8217;ve got this tape recorder so that I don&#8217;t miss anything.&#8221; I pointed towards the microphone sitting directly in front of him.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 314px"><img class=" " title="He is happy when people listen to him." src="http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/412/withmicrophone.jpg" alt="He is happy when people listen to him." width="304" height="314" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Be careful! It&#039;s an antique!</p></div>
<p>&#8220;HOLY SHIT!  That&#8217;s totally WIZARD-WEASEL!  I haven&#8217;t seen one of those since the 70s!  Lemme give this a try&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>He then serenaded me with a rousing rendition on <em>The Offspring&#8217;s</em> <a title="I think the Offspring really went downhill after that album." href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzY2Qcu5i2A">Pretty Fly For a White Guy</a>, complete with air-guitar while jumping on the couch.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thanks for that Ivan, but I haven&#8217;t switched the recorder on yet.  If we can <em>begin</em> the interview, you know, o<em>n the record</em>, then I&#8217;ll turn it on.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh, we&#8217;re out of cotton candy.  So lets <strong>do it</strong>!  Ready, set, go!&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">dongtacular</span>:  Ivan, your most recent film, <em><a title="Go watch it.  I bet it's worth the price of admission." href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1411238/">No Strings Attached</a></em>, was released about a month ago.  Tell me what it&#8217;s about.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Ivan Reitman</span>:  It&#8217;s the true life story of me banging Natalie Portman!</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">DT</span>:  I highly doubt that.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  What? Why?  I only did this movie because it was based on a true story.  We only changed the names, places, people, events, added some more sex, more drama, and more jokes.  But other than that, it&#8217;s all true.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">DT</span>:  Ok, I haven&#8217;t seen the movie, but I just can&#8217;t see you doing <strong>that</strong> with Natalie Portman.  I mean, you&#8217;re kinda old, ugly, and haven&#8217;t made a blockbuster movie since the 80s.  She&#8217;s young, intelligent, talented, and smoking hot.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 386px"><img class="   " title="I've loved her since I saw her in &quot;The Professional&quot; when I was 9." src="http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/7760/natalieportmanhotsexy2.jpg" alt="I've loved her since I saw her in &quot;The Professional&quot; when I was 9." width="376" height="461" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sexy, but has that classic beauty as well.</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  Fucking eh, man.  She&#8217;s a scorcher.  Alright, so, I didn&#8217;t <strong>jam her clam</strong>, but she did <strong>gaff my best boy</strong>, if you know what I mean.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">DT</span>:  I don&#8217;t think so, Ivan.  Plus, haven&#8217;t you been <a title="Canadian celebrities have excellent relationships." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Reitman#Personal_life">happily married</a> for a real long time?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  Would you believe she <strong>boom-mic&#8217;d my balls</strong>?</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">DT</span>:  Next question.  What was your impression of Ashton Kutcher?  Did he rise above his <em>Dude Where&#8217;s My Car</em> typecasting?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  I don’t give a FUCK about <strong>‘Ashley Koocher’</strong>, or whatever he calls himself.  This movie was about Natalie Portman being a <strong>hot-piece-of-ass</strong>, which she totally is.  Speaking of that, why was this movie so popular with the ladies?  Do they like ogling over Natalie’s ass too?  They should&#8230; oh&#8230; oh no&#8230; crap.  Piss-sticks.  Uh, hold on.  I gotta take this.  Keep recording though, every damn word I speak is sacred.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qORYO0atB6g"><img class=" " title="A rather chatty man." src="http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/8120/withphone.jpg" alt="A rather chatty man." width="480" height="269" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ivan&#039;s ringtone is Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys. I&#039;m impressed with his taste in music.</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">IR</span>:  No.  No. NOOOO!  Anne, I told you to stop calling me.  After you puked in my shoes on the set of <em><a title="I don't think I ever saw this one, was it awful?" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Days_Seven_Nights">Six Days Seven Nights</a></em>, I just can&#8217;t forgive you.  I wore those shoes for years after that without knowing!  Well yeah, I still have them, those are the best shoes I own.  They&#8217;re over by the door, but I can&#8217;t get them.  I&#8217;m doing an interview.  YUH-HUH, &#8217;cause some of us still make movies to prolong our fame, instead of BECOMING A LESBIAN FOR A WHILE.</p>
<p>After that, Ivan slapped his phone closed, and spin-kicked it directly out my window.  His expression slowly evolved from his trademark drunk-glare to his typical goofy grin, and he bolted barefoot out the door.  I knew he would be back.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img title="I do love me some animated gifs!" src="http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/2928/ivanreitmanslowchangefa.gif" alt="I do love me some animated gifs!" width="400" height="602" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ivan doesn&#039;t mind looking foolish.</p></div>
<p>Check back next week for the thrilling conclusion to this most titillating interview!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever <a title="You’re having a baby?" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/youre-having-a-baby/">since I started blogging</a>, I have become a bit of a celebrity.  I get many opportunities to meet with powerful people, and attend outrageous celebrity parties.  After one such party (don&#8217;t worry, I survived), I was approached by an elderly man, who I assumed wanted to assault me over things I had written.  Fortunately, he has friendly, as I was in no shape to fight a senior-citizen (I never am.  I&#8217;m much too weak from <a title="Enjoying camping, as a man – Part 1" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/08/10/enjoying-camping-as-a-man-part-1/">years of drinking</a>).</p>
<p>He was of average height, but held a little extra weight on his frame, as though he had spent the last 60 years drinking scotch and performing manual labor.  His wispy black-greying hair twitched as he walked, and his arms stayed taut at his sides, giving him a bizarre, pendulum like gait.  He rumbled over beside me, and rested his forearm on my shoulder, leaning into me with all his weight, so that I nearly fell over.</p>
<p>Noticing this, he abruptly threw his other arm around me, and pulled my body into a bear-hug.  We now stood face-to-face, in an <a title="When You Are Forced to Suck Someone’s Face" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/12/05/when-you-are-forced-to-suck-someones-face/">awfully awkward embrace</a>.  His belly was crushing my chest, his smoky, alcohol laced breath nearly suffocating me.  I know he was staring into my eyes, but mine were clenched shut due to the pain.  After what seemed like an eternity, he released me from his grasp.  I let out a gasping sigh of relief, and slumped slightly as my rib cage radiated with pain.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m <strong>Ivan Reitman</strong>&#8230; are you drunk or something?&#8221;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 236px"><img title="Is he always drunk, or just looks that way?" src="http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/7132/bellysmile2.jpg" alt="Is he always drunk, or just looks that way?" width="226" height="456" /><p class="wp-caption-text">A bit of a paunch, but a jolly smile as well.</p></div>
<p>&#8220;I should ask you the same question.  You nearly strangled me with your gut!&#8221;</p>
<p>Ivan began slowly pacing towards me, which was entirely unnecessary, since we were only 3 feet apart, and I could still smell his sweat.</p>
<p>&#8220;You write on that <a title="Self-deprecating humor!" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com">shitty website</a>, right?&#8221;</p>
<p>I immediately jumped into crisis-control mode.  I began apologizing for nearly every post I had ever made, except for the one <a title="The Man Who Did Not Eat Sandwiches" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2011/01/13/the-man-who-did-not-eat-sandwiches/">about sandwiches</a>, as I couldn&#8217;t imagine how he could be offended by that.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 362px"><a href="http://flannelmondays.wordpress.com/2010/08/10/running-out-of-excuses/"><img title="I lol when eating them all the time." src="http://flannelmondays.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/jake-gyllenhaal-hilarious-sandwich.jpg?w=352&#038;h=600" alt="I lol when eating them all the time." width="352" height="600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Because sandwiches are hilarious!</p></div>
<p>&#8220;Oh, no, no, no.  When I said <em>shitty</em>, I meant that I like it.  <em>Shitty</em> is a good thing in Hollywood.  Have you seen the movies I direct?  SHITTY!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, I really liked <em>Stripes</em> and <em>Ghostbusters</em>&#8230;&#8221;  I hesitated and looked to the stars as I tried to think of another movie he had made.  &#8221;OH, you made that superhero one, with the <em>Kill Bill</em> girl, and the lesser talented <a title="I still really like him.  But Owen is funnier." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Wilson">Wilson brother!</a>&#8220;</p>
<p>&#8220;Luke Wilson.&#8221; He corrected.  &#8221;Was that the movie where I finger-blasted his ass?&#8221;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 532px"><img class=" " title="Pointing isn't polite!" src="http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/9829/thisistheguyrighthere.jpg" alt="Pointing isn't polite!" width="522" height="360" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Luke gives Ivan the finger.</p></div>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t remember that being in the movie&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Maybe I&#8217;m thinking of a different movie.  It was<em> <a title="I actually thought it was funny when I was a kid." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fathers%27_Day_(film)">Fathers&#8217; Day</a></em>! Did you see that one?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, it was, umm&#8230; <em>shitty</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Damn straight.  Now, let&#8217;s get down to business.  I didn&#8217;t only come over here to crush your ribs and spread my scent.  I want you to interview me, as promotion for my new film, <em>No Strings Attached. </em>You interested?&#8221;</p>
<p>I was entirely shocked that he would ask me, but I somehow stuttered my way to accepting.  We agreed to meet at my house in two days, and I would publish the exclusive interview within two days.</p>
<p>There was one more condition, I had to post the interview <strong>unedited</strong>.  He insisted that I do not paraphrase him, or cut any questions or answers, as &#8220;my words are like the gospel, man.  You have to record every word.  Future generations are gonna worship this stuff.&#8221;  Ivan somehow had gotten more drunk since I had started talking to him.  Could his body have somehow reabsorbed his booze sweat?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 409px"><img title="Maybe he's just weird looking?" src="http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/3453/closedrunk1.jpg" alt="Maybe he's just weird looking?" width="399" height="600" /><p class="wp-caption-text">It&#039;s in the eyes, that penetrating, drunk-glare.</p></div>
<p>With that, he was gone.  I have no idea how a man as drunk as he could have disappeared so quickly (it probably had something to do with how drunk I was), but I knew we would meet again, hopefully with less booze-stench.</p>
<p>Check back this week for <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Part 2</span>, which will include the entire, unedited interview with one of the most mythical film directors of our generation!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What does <strong>Enchanted Unicorn</strong> make you think of?  A mystical, fantastical animal with mysterious powers, that only exists in works of fiction, and was likely inspired by our ancestors discovering narwhal tusks?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 304px"><img class="  " title="I'm ashamed of myself for posting this pic." src="http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/9200/unicornman.jpg" alt="I'm ashamed of myself for posting this pic." width="294" height="440" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Then this is not the post for you.</p></div>
<p>Unicorns have a special place on the internet. Geeks have been including them in their usernames and inserting them into bizarre fan fiction since <strong>Al Gore </strong><a title="Maybe he didn't, but it's funnier to think that he did." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore_and_information_technology#1999_CNN_interview_misquoting">invented the damn thing</a> (I&#8217;m not trying to insult the <em>geeks</em>, as I am one myself, as you&#8217;ll see later if you keep reading).  There has always been a fascination with these noble beasts, and speculation to whether they ever existed, have become extinct, or are just so reclusive and elusive that no one has been able to prove their truth.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 524px"><img class="  " title="He really turned his career around lately!" src="http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/9757/unicornnph.jpg" alt="He really turned his career around lately!" width="514" height="362" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Only Neil Patrick Harris has the answers.</p></div>
<p>I hate to derail you, but this post wasn&#8217;t meant to be a discussion of equine mammals and their legendary variations.  Unfortunately, whenever I hear <strong>unicorn, </strong>I think of this:</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 444px"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL3anO8icmY&amp;t=5m4s"><img class="   " title="If you only knew what this truly is..." src="http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/1958/eu4.png" alt="If you only knew what this truly is..." width="434" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Qu&#039;est-ce que c&#039;est?</p></div>
<p><em>enchanted unicorn</em> was the username of a member on one of my favourite websites, <a title="Check it out, lots of fun stuff happening!" href="http://www.gbfans.com/">GBFans.com</a>, and the above image was his avatar.  Yes, I&#8217;m a <strong>Ghostbusters</strong> geek.  Sometimes I have a hard time admitting it, but I truly am.  At least I&#8217;m not a <strong>Trekkie</strong>, right?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 235px"><img title="Not insulting Trekkies either, just making a joke." src="http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/96/eu3d.png" alt="Not insulting Trekkies either, just making a joke." width="225" height="297" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Maybe enchanted unicorn was?</p></div>
<p>This guy was hilarious.  He loved to mess around and get under people&#8217;s skin, but as long as you don&#8217;t consider <a title="I think everyone should lighten up.  SERIOUSLY." href="http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/data/500/internet-cat.jpg">the internet to be serious business</a>, you wouldn&#8217;t have been offended.  He made me laugh on a daily basis, and actually made some contributions to the community through his inventive prop replicas and <a title="Some pretty good stuff, even if you're not too familiar with Ghostbusters!" href="http://www.gbfans.com/fans/enchanted-unicorn/art/">fan-art</a>.  I would say he was great amateur artist, as I would have paid for some of his work.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class="  " title="He was making a picture of naked women!  Really!  He's a classy dude." src="http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/9088/eu2a.jpg" alt="He was making a picture of naked women!  Really!  He's a classy dude." width="420" height="279" /><p class="wp-caption-text">He looked the part, at least.</p></div>
<p>But alas, all good things must come to an end.  <em>enchanted unicorn </em>was <strong>banned</strong> from the website for excessive <strong>trolling</strong>.  What I thought was funny, others did not.  Isn&#8217;t that always what happens?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 422px"><a href="http://rabbi-tom.deviantart.com/art/Magical-Unicorn-Puke-155990576"><img class=" " title="Absoluetly absurd, but hilarious!" src="http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/6376/magicalunicornpukebyrab.jpg" alt="Absoluetly absurd, but hilarious!" width="412" height="390" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Yes, I do think this is funny. (Image via Rabbi-Tom.deviantart.com)</p></div>
<p>He will be missed on GBFans.  Although I am sure he is out there somewhere, trolling to the delight of an internet community who appreciates him for what he truly is; a whimsical being, with untold skills and talents only seen in your most extravagant dreams.  <em>Troll on, enchanted unicorn.</em></p>
<p><em><br />

<p>AUTHOR&#8217;S NOTE:  This post was partly inspired by the <a title="My favourite is the Bubbles-Zebragus!" href="http://mevsthenormalpeople.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/me-vs-the-zebragus/">Zebragus</a>, another incredible creature featured on one of my favourite blogs, <a title="Much too funny to describe.  Read it for yourself!" href="http://mevsthenormalpeople.wordpress.com/">Me Vs. The Normal People</a>.  Give it a read, and you&#8217;ll see many beautiful images of this regal animal.  Also, I have to apologize for another post about a man.  I&#8217;ll do my best to write my next one about <strong>women</strong>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I met an interesting man over the holidays.  This man had an aversion to sandwiches.  He would not consume any edibles inserted between bread products.  This meant no <em>conventional sandwiches</em> (using sliced bread), no <em>submarine sandwiches</em>, no <em>deli-style sandwiches</em>, no <em>burgers</em>, and no <em>wraps</em>.  How could he survive in the modern world without the sustenance provided by these foods?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 330px"><a href="http://www.gifsoup.com"><img class="  " title="Charlie loves his sandwiches." src="http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/4199/iaspanimatedcharlieeati.gif" alt="Charlie loves his sandwiches." width="320" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Is he a mad man? (Image via GifSoup.com)</p></div>
<p>This man, Wendell, was not a rude or bizarre person.  If presented with a sandwich, or if sandwiches were the only food available, he would eat.  But he would <strong>pull the sandwich apart</strong>, disassembling it entirely, <strong>before he would consume the ingredients separately</strong>, one at a time.  He just had something against eating a sandwich in its entirety, the way most of us enjoy a sandwich.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 380px"><a href="http://www.gettyimages.ca"><img class=" " title="But it was put together perfectly!" src="http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/7315/sandsep1.jpg" alt="But it was put together perfectly!" width="370" height="295" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The whole is less edible than the sum of the parts? (Image via Getty Images)</p></div>
<p>Is it the layering of the sandwiches?  Could he not stand for things that were stacked, even if done neatly?   Would he eat lasagna?  Is it the combination of the flavours?  Did he eat all foods completely separate, as to not mix their tastes?  Could he eat pizza?  Was it the bread products that made the sandwich unpalatable to him?  Could he eat a <a title="No longer sold in Canada?  Ok, I had my one.  That was enough." href="http://colin2011.blogspot.com/2011/01/goodbye-double-down.html">KFC Double-Down</a>, as it was a sandwich that replaced bread with chicken breasts?  Does the bread hide the ingredients from view, and he is afraid of eating something he cannot see, as if an enemy of his would have sabotaged the sandwich with an undesirable ingredient?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://thechive.com/"><img class=" " title="I can't eat adorable animals." src="http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/4671/puppysandwich.jpg" alt="I can't eat adorable animals." width="400" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">I wouldn&#039;t eat that sandwich. (Image via thechive.com)</p></div>
<p>I do not have the answers to these questions, I would have to contact Wendell directly.  I just found it odd that a person could not enjoy one of the most versatile foods in existence.  There are essentially endless combinations of sandwiches!  As a reasonably average man, I eat sandwiches (or common variations of sandwiches, as listed in the first paragraph) several times a week.  Sandwiches are my basic lunch food, and have been since I was in elementary school.  I still brown-bag most of my lunches when I <a title="You’re having a baby?" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/youre-having-a-baby/">go to work at the dog food factory</a>.  I am a sandwich lover, and always will be.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 587px"><a href="http://fuckyeahlizlemon.tumblr.com/"><img class=" " title="I like to sit in the dark when I'm eating." src="http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/5650/lizsandwich3.png" alt="I like to sit in the dark when I'm eating." width="577" height="672" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via fuckyeahlizlemon.tumblr.com</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p>I must reiterate myself in regards to Wendell.  I have said he was not rude or bizarre, that he was odd, but mainly, I find him interesting.  He is going to University to become a High School physics teacher, drives a <a title="Like this, but in poor condition." href="http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/2356/1723328.jpg">mustard-yellow Volvo sedan</a> that was built before Disco music existed (and has the confidence to do so!), created Facebook pages for his cats, went to Argentina to <a title="It hasn't broadcast yet, but I'm excited to see Jonathan Torrens as host!" href="http://www.tvtropolis.com/Wipeout/blog.html">appear as a contestant on the television series Wipeout</a>, and he is <strong>dating my cousin</strong> (the sister of the <a title="My cousin makes porn" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/my-cousin-makes-porn/">guy I wrote about previously</a>).</p>
<p>I guess all I&#8217;m trying to say is that I like Wendell, I like sandwiches, and I don&#8217;t really understand how you could not enjoy sandwiches.  Do you know anyone who doesn&#8217;t like sandwiches?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 636px"><a href="http://www.explosm.net"><img class="   " title="Sammich Shoppe!" src="http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6186/sammichz.jpg" alt="Sammich Shoppe!" width="626" height="181" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">I&#039;m also saying that I can&#039;t make a post without a sexual joke.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many times, apparently.  Not just today either, nearly every day for the last few years.  Is it that I&#8217;m a romantic (I certainly hope not), or could it be that I&#8217;m so desperately lonely, I try to love every woman I come into contact with?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><img class="   " title="Some people hate couples like this..." src="http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/8749/b218002822.jpg" alt="Some people hate couples like this..." width="450" height="307" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sigh...</p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m really falling in <em>love</em> with them.  <strong>Love</strong> is not a word that I use all that often.  I find that it&#8217;s a dangerous word to say, as once you express your love for someone, things get serious.  If you love someone (or at least say that you do), they feel compelled to love you back, or tell you that they <em>do not love you</em>, never will, never could, and the relationship is destroyed.  Even if you were good friends before, it is incredibly difficult to carry on a friendship when <em>the love</em> has been mentioned.  Once you put it out there, you can&#8217;t take it back.</p>
<p>I know that there are different types of love.  The love I have for my family, for example.  I love my Mother, Father, Sisters and Brothers, and I always will.  But this is different from <em>loving a lover</em>, and from <em>loving a friend</em>.  <a title="Sharing a Poncho" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/10/08/sharing-a-poncho/">I love my friends</a>, I really do, but I would never say it to them, as they are guys, and would likely never talk to me again.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><img class="      " title="More fish tacos!" src="http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/3423/iloveyouman200902230605.jpg" alt="More fish tacos!" width="480" height="320" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Although, &quot;I Love You, Man&quot; did have a some good lessons.</p></div>
<p>Basically, all I&#8217;m saying is that <strong>love</strong> is not I word that I throw around like a football.  I only use it sparingly, when I&#8217;m sure that I truly, honestly love that person.</p>
<p>But <strong>like</strong> is a great word.  I like many things.  I am deeply, madly <em>in like</em> with several people, and innumerable ideas, objects, and things in general.  Not a day goes by that I don&#8217;t like something.  Facebook is great for this.  I like Facebook, because it lets you like things for no reason at all, even if they are <a title="Natalie Tran gets me.  I like her." href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEKwLqWd92g">entirely inappropriate</a>.  I like shit all god-damn day on Facebook.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 481px"><a href="http://failbook.failblog.org/2010/12/30/funny-facebook-fails-hot-or-not/"><img title="I do not like women who need constant attention and compliments." src="http://cheezfailbooking.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/3febf0e3-5dd3-44be-8c2f-9a1178687c9b.jpg?w=471&#038;h=145" alt="I do not like women who need constant attention and compliments." width="471" height="145" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">But I don&#039;t like Olivia.</p></div>
<p>Alright, now I can tell you what I really <strong>like</strong>, and why I thought I was falling in love constantly (although we have now established that I was not falling in love, just <em>falling in like</em>).</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img title="I prefer brunettes, but I wouldn't turn her down." src="http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3346/beautifulsmileblonde.jpg" alt="I prefer brunettes, but I wouldn't turn her down." width="500" height="375" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I&#039;m a sucker for a great smile.</p></div>
<p>Women.  Women who smile, are confident, <a title="She Should Pontificate More" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/she-should-pontificate-more/">are intelligent</a>, who walk with an air of sophistication, but don&#8217;t take themselves too seriously (please understand that I joke about everything).  But can I infer a goofy personality from just looking at a person?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class=" " title="I've never ate rabbit, but I hear it makes the best jus." src="http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/4969/bunnybiting.jpg" alt="I've never ate rabbit, but I hear it makes the best jus." width="400" height="377" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I like silly photos.</p></div>
<p>I like attractive women, but I have found that <a title="Can busty female models sell t-shirts to men?" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/09/10/can-busty-female-models-sell-t-shirts-to-men/">lookers are dime-a-dozen</a>, and a good personality is more difficult to find.  Honestly, <a title="Rachel-Ann, I think we should date" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/rachel-ann-i-think-we-should-date/">whenever I go anywhere</a>, I <a title="Sweaty, orgasmic, magical Ping-Pong" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/sweaty-orgasmic-magical-ping-pong/">notice attractive women</a> and wonder if they are dating anyone.  There is always something that initially attracts me to them.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 359px"><img class="   " title="Must stop looking into her eyes..." src="http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/2572/incrediblybeautifulchic.jpg" alt="Must stop looking into her eyes..." width="349" height="465" /><p class="wp-caption-text">This example has several characteristics that I find attractive.</p></div>
<p>Stunningly beautiful pictures aside (sometimes I find that when women are too attractive, I become extremely nervous, sick-to-my-stomach even.  Am I the only one who feels this way?),  I do find that I can see a certain aspect of a person that makes me want to learn more about them.  A stray wisp of hair, a slightly errant eyebrow, or a tiny scar on her lip will make me more interested in a woman.  Those little things that add character to a face, and hopefully instilled character into their personality.  These <em>character aspects</em> can also assist you in taking a different view of the person in question.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 452px"><img class="  " title="Sorry, I couldn't make an entirely serious post." src="http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/3818/coolgirlsupsidedowninbe.jpg" alt="Sorry, I couldn't make an entirely serious post." width="442" height="328" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Upside down is a different view, an entirely new perspective, really.</p></div>
<p>I guess all I&#8217;m really trying to say is that I <em>like</em> women, I <em>like</em> looking at them, <em>like</em> learning about them, <em>like</em> getting to know them, but I&#8217;m not entirely ready to <em>love</em> them just yet.  But possibly if the right one came along, my <em>&#8216;like&#8217;</em> philosophy could be changed.</p>
<p>What do you think?  Do you <em>Like</em>, (seriously, click the <strong>&#8216;Like&#8217;</strong> button on this post for me), <em>Love</em>, or <em>Hate</em> my concepts of <em>Like and Love</em>?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img title="She looks distracted, is someone watching?" src="http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/4970/awkward1.jpg" alt="She looks distracted, is someone watching?" width="300" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">It&#039;s bad, and only gets worse.</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">Kissing someone is usually a magical moment; your heart beats madly within your chest with anticipation, you near the recipient and can feel their warm breath on your chin, your lips quiver as you begin to mash your face into the other person.  But what about when you are not interested in this person, at least in a loving, possibly sexual way?</p>
<p>I had an experience recently where I <strong>had</strong> to kiss someone.  There was no way around it.  A young girl, in fact (I generally don&#8217;t like referring to broads as girls, but this one was young).  You could describe it as <em><strong>sucking face</strong>, </em>although that would be harsh on her young ears.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlZHMGch1pQ"><img class="  " title="Please click!  It's a really funny clip from Hot Shots - Part Deux!" src="http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/1299/awkward3.jpg" alt="Please click!  It's a really funny clip from Hot Shots - Part Deux!" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Not sucking nose! But click this picture for a really funny video.</p></div>
<p>On a whim, I auditioned for the <a title="Good group of people.  Come see a play sometime, or be in one!" href="http://windmilltheatreplayers.com/cgi/TheSite/home.php">local community theatre</a>&#8216;s upcoming musical.  Also on a whim, they gave me a part.  I mean, I like music, and <a title="Sharing a Poncho" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/10/08/sharing-a-poncho/">I like singing along to music</a> (especially when I&#8217;m drunk), but I didn&#8217;t think I would ever land a part in a stage musical, where I would have to sing, dance, and act on a stage in front of hundreds of people.  Plus I had to kiss a girl.</p>
<p>At first, I didn&#8217;t know who would get the part of the woman who would soon know what my tongue tasted like, and <a title="Can busty female models sell t-shirts to men?" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/09/10/can-busty-female-models-sell-t-shirts-to-men/">I imagined</a> <a title="Adoring Women's Thighs, As a Man" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/09/29/adoring-womens-thighs-as-a-man/">she would be straight out of</a> <a title="She Should Pontificate More" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/she-should-pontificate-more/">one of my numerous fantasies</a>, and that she and I would kiss on stage, then fall madly in love with one another and get married and live happily ever after.  My dreams were about to be squandered.</p>
<p>Her name was Hanna.  She was a pencil-thin, delicate blonde (like a combination of <a title="A very talented young actress." href="http://www.starmagazine.com/media/originals/MiaWasikowska_XLG.jpg">Mia Wasikowska</a> and <a title="I didn't see Mama Mia, but wasn't she also in Mean Girls?" href="http://www.chipandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/amanda-seyfried.jpg">Amanda Seyfried</a>, if I have to be specific), 18-years-old, fresh out of High School.  Now, I know, you&#8217;re saying &#8220;That&#8217;s not young!  She&#8217;s legal in nearly every country in the world!&#8221;  But I don&#8217;t roll like that.  If I wanted to seduce 18-year-old girls, I would hang out by the High School like my Dad does.  Plus, Hanna had a <em>boyfriend</em>, who used to be a linebacker on the High School football team (Frightening!).</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img title="This is the definition of an awkward kiss." src="http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/3310/awkward6.jpg" alt="This is the definition of an awkward kiss." width="400" height="400" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I&#039;m not interested in kissing athletes either.</p></div>
<p>At first, I was broken.  Destroyed, even.  I thought this would balloon into a &#8221;Kiss-gate&#8221; and it would ruin the entire musical experience for me.  I imagined that through all the rehearsals, everyone would be looking at me, judging me based on the fact that I was soon to be kissing this innocent, church-going nubile, and assuming that I would be corrupting her with my perverted ways, leading her astray into the depths of sin, forever tainting her with my evil mind, and permanently scarring her <em>and</em> her boyfriend with unforgettable images of the horrendous sex-acts I would be performing on her with my mouth.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">But it was nothing like that.  Everyone was extremely supportive, as they understood how awkward it was to kiss someone on stage for the first time.  Hanna and I had a private conversation with the director, and she told us to take our time with the kiss, get to know each other, as it is only when you are comfortable with a person that you can kiss them naturally.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 384px"><img class=" " title="Nick Cannon is an expert in awkward kissing." src="http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/5092/awkward5nickcannonandma.jpg" alt="Nick Cannon is an expert in awkward kissing." width="374" height="256" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Could you ever be comfortable kissing Mariah Carey?</p></div>
<p>It turns out that Hanna took a number of drama classes in school, and was applying to theatre programs at universities.  She had never done a stage-kiss before either, but she was very mature (since I was entirely immature) about the whole process.</p>
<p>Over the next month we talked on a regular basis, went for coffee, discussed our characters, and their relationship.  I was getting to know Hanna for who she really was, a truly honest, caring, sweetheart (Sappy, I know, but she is!).  Then we had to talk about our kiss.  The play was due to go on stage in 2 weeks, and we needed to actually lock lips, to practice before the actual performance.  I had to tell her about the weird, non-sexual reflex that my body has from time to time.</p>
<p>Yes, the <a title="Recently featured on &quot;The League!&quot;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zL-rgDCWwA">Fear-Boner</a>.  You are so scared, your body reacts by inflaming certain organs, like how a cat&#8217;s hair sticks up when it feels threatened.  And I can&#8217;t control it!  Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn&#8217;t, no matter the perceived level of threat.  This was the absolute last thing I wanted to happen when I was kissing an 18-year-old on stage in front of 400 people.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 344px"><img title="Surprise!" src="http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4232/bwpunch.jpg" alt="Surprise!" width="334" height="480" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Unfortunately, this technique does not prevent the Fear-Boner.</p></div>
<p>Hanna was surprisingly accepting of my confession.  At first she denied that it could happen, but after I described several incidents, she simply stated &#8220;Why would you be afraid of me in the first place?&#8221;</p>
<p>I realized that I wasn&#8217;t afraid of a 98-pound blonde, so I smacked a kiss directly on her lips, right then and there, while waiting in line at <a title="The coffee is overpriced, but I like the puffed-wheat squares." href="http://www.starbucks.com/">Starbucks</a>.  She was a little shocked, but she didn&#8217;t slap me.  Success!</p>
<p>After that, I was so confident, nothing could phase me.  The production went off perfectly, I sang, danced, acted, and kissed like you wouldn&#8217;t believe (As it turns out, when performing a stage-kiss, you don&#8217;t use tongue. So get your mind out of the gutter!).  I couldn&#8217;t have done it without the support and assurance I received from Hanna.</p>
<p>Overall, it was a fantastic experience.  Hanna and I have kept in touch, and I wish her nothing but the best in finding a University.  I couldn&#8217;t have picked a better person to lock-lips with; and her boyfriend has yet to kill me!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="How to Become Internet Famous - Part 1" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/11/16/how-to-become-internet-famous-part-1/">Picking up where I left off in Part 1</a>, I have chosen to become ridiculously famous on the internet by creating a meme.  Through the use of <a title="So fun, and easy!  But mostly stupid." href="http://memegenerator.net/">Meme Generator</a>, I will make an original, and hopefully hilarious image meme that you will spread around to all your friends an co-workers, so that I can become really, really rich.  At least that&#8217;s how I imagined it happening, although I don&#8217;t think that there is anyway to profit from freely shared images in the internet age (I don&#8217;t have a copyright or anything, plus I&#8217;ll be stealing an image and ideas from others without giving proper credit.  I&#8217;m a terrible hack.  Don&#8217;t you love the internet?).</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 173px"><a href="http://xkcd.com/285/"><img class=" " title="I can cite properly, if I feel like it." src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Webcomic_xkcd_-_Wikipedian_protester_cropped.png" alt="I can cite properly, if I feel like it." width="163" height="163" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Wikipedia (originally xkcd.com)</p></div>
<p>The first step I took was to think of something funny.  If you are <a title="Actually not that funny.  Sorry to fool you." href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/">as awesomely hilarious as I am</a>, you will have no problem.  I did have a problem though, because I find that when you are forced to be funny, all you can think of is <a title="Pubic hair styles for Men - Part 1" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/08/24/pubic-hair-styles-for-men-part-1/">dick</a> and <a title="Can busty female models sell t-shirts to men?" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/09/10/can-busty-female-models-sell-t-shirts-to-men/">boob</a> jokes.  I did think of a conversation I had with <a title="Sharing a Poncho" href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/10/08/sharing-a-poncho/">my friend Stark</a>, so I decided I&#8217;d steal his idea and run with it.</p>
<p>Stark had just watched his favourite film, <em><a title="Really good movie.  McClane is a great action hero." href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095016/">Die Hard</a></em>, and was spouting off quotes expecting that I would quote along with him.  Unfortunately, I haven&#8217;t seen that movie in couple years (I have it on VHS tape, but my VCR is acting up lately, and it&#8217;s hard to find a VCR repairman anymore) so I couldn&#8217;t remember any memorable lines, except one:</p>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://dongtacular.wordpress.com/2010/11/23/how-to-become-internet-famous-part-2-create-a-meme/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/tJ7z5CUsrbk/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<p>I thought it might be funny if John McClane wasn&#8217;t able to quote himself, as perhaps he was getting too old to be an action star, let alone remember what he had said in his previous films (Ok, maybe I&#8217;m ragging on <a title="He's only 55 years old?!?!  That's not that bad, I really shouldn't make fun of him, because he could still kick my ass." href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/">Bruce Willis</a> and not McClane, but you get my point).  So he just spits out whatever common gibberish he could think of, followed by an insult, often vulgar.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><img class=" " title="Random words!" src="http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/6219/yippieskippiedicks.jpg" alt="Random words!" width="360" height="248" /><p class="wp-caption-text">That&#039;s close to your famous quote...</p></div>
<p>I give you <strong><a title="Feel free to make your own, and share with friends!" href="http://memegenerator.net/Misquoting-McClane">Misquoting McClane</a></strong>!</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><img class=" " title="A wonderful day to kill terrorists!" src="http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/2511/zipadeedoodahbitches.jpg" alt="A wonderful day to kill terrorists!" width="360" height="248" /><p class="wp-caption-text">McClane loves Disney movies.</p></div>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><img class=" " title="Radical!" src="http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/214/cowabungadudes.jpg" alt="Radical!" width="360" height="248" /><p class="wp-caption-text">And 80s cartoons.</p></div>
</div>
<p>I also mentioned previously that you can insert other established memes into your meme to jump-start its popularity.  A couple of examples:</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/2523/fbf1.jpg"><img class=" " title="He's kinda gross." src="http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/7315/skidmarksontoiletblasti.jpg" alt="He's kinda gross." width="360" height="248" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">As a man, I love Foul Batchelor Frog.</p></div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nnzw_i4YmKk&amp;t=0m45s"><img class=" " title="Yes they do, Bubb Rubb." src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2026/thewhistlesgowoowooooo.jpg" alt="Yes they do, Bubb Rubb." width="360" height="248" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bubb Rubb knows all.</p></div>
<p>I made too many of these things, so I&#8217;ll just leave the rest of them here.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" style="margin-left:5px;margin-right:5px;" title="Whatever." src="http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6589/whoopdeedoococks.jpg" alt="Whatever." width="288" height="198" /><img class="alignnone" style="margin-left:5px;margin-right:5px;" title="Nonsense songs!" src="http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/4633/ramalamadingdongboogers.jpg" alt="Nonsense songs!" width="288" height="198" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" style="margin-left:5px;margin-right:5px;" title="More dick jokes!" src="http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2497/boomshackalackaboners.jpg" alt="More dick jokes!" width="288" height="198" /><img class="alignnone" style="margin-left:5px;margin-right:5px;" title="Phil Collins doesn't take crap!" src="http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/7572/sususssussudiodouchebag.jpg" alt="Phil Collins doesn't take crap!" width="288" height="198" /></p>
<p>So spread it around so all your friends can share the lulz, and so that I can become infamous for a piss-poor attempt at being funny.  Also subscribe and comment, so we can argue about why I&#8217;m not funny.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><img class=" " title="More nonsense songs!" src="http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/2280/chittychittybangbangcun.jpg" alt="More nonsense songs!" width="360" height="248" /><p class="wp-caption-text">It&#039;s a very bad word, I know.</p></div>
