Matt: Vicki. NO. I need you Vicki. If you fucking leave me, I'm gonna key "New Money Whore" on the hood of your Taurus. Don't fuck with me Vicki, I just got a new Pampered Chef knife with your name on it.

We watched that Hoarders show last night...

Matt: You should have seen the floor and carpet when they were shoveling the trash out - covered in mouse droppings.
me: Actually, I'm really glad I didn't see that.
Matt: I love watching other peoples’ lives fall apart.
me: God, I don't. It just reminds me that I'm only a step away from utter disaster myself.
Matt: I’ll call your mother and have you committed if you even dare to save a newspaper clipping.
me: She won't care as long as I'm thin, Matt. Come now.
Matt: Can I store some boxes at your place?
me: Let me remind you that you're the creep with the cat ashes in his home....
Matt: BUBBA!!!!!!! My lil’ man in a suit!
me: Do you know that one of the signs of sociopathy is empathizing more with animals than with humans?
Matt: Guilty. I wish I could just lay on my living room floor and have 100s of kittens just licking my face all day long. At the same time I could take out a family of four who cut me in line at Regal Cinema without blinking.
me: The skin just crawled off my body.

rend it: "I’m pretty sure one or both of them is lying dead of SIDS under a pile of cigarette butts and empty bags of soy chips."... And the other one is frantically tripping over detritus in the "office," hands flailing, muttering "omigodomigodomigod" endlessly.
me: "I KILLED BALK? JESUS H. CHRISTMAS, I CAUSED THE BALK TO DIE? *flap flap flap* SOMEONE NEEDS TO HIDE ME BEFORE THE FANGIRLS FIND OUT!!!"
rend it: And if it were the other way around, Balk would just be clutching Choire's lifeless body and sobbing. And smoking. And drinking.
me: And checking to see if there are any crumbs at the bottom of that bag of soy chips. "What? Jews feed their grief, leave me to my process."
rend it: That sounds more like an Alex Balk toe-stubbing.

What they're doing here, of course, is...

me: haaaaaaaaaaaaaa - OMG OMG OMG YOU TWO!! BV, Matt just sent [the Choire photo] to me (rend it Matt, not my big gay Matt)
me: Oh I see. Balk tipped you both off. DAMN IT. I was really hoping I'd just busted you both reading Jezebel. (Balk, of course, is a delicate ladyflower who refreshes Jezebel every ten minutes with his French tips.)
rend it: Oh of course he does! THE QUESTION REMAINS: What is in that Tupperware?!?!?!?
me: Papa is so eco-friendly that he brings his own tupperware to restaurants so they don't have to give him a doggy bag.
BrianVan: His response to that would be, "HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT I EAT!"
me: The collective food issues present in The Awl offices *fascinate* me.
BrianVan: I know. If we sent over a pan of lasagna it would swiftly end the publishing day.
rend it: Still waiting on Balk's handy guide to Lower Manhattan dive bar mozzarella sticks.
me: I never really thought of it this way, but it turns out that Alex Balk is what you would get if you combined the traits of Jon Arbuckle and Garfield into one person.
rend it: THERE ARE SO MANY POTENTIAL TUMBLR BOOK DEALS HERE IT IS STAGGERING.
BrianVan: We need a good run of "Garfield Minus Garfield Minus Jon Plus Balk"
