I'm So Jealous!



I just got off the phone with my husband. He's on a business trip and told me the speaker this morning was Lewis Black. Lewis Black is my FAVORITE comedian (and I do a funny impersonation of him). He also said there are bunnies all over the resort and that one nearly ran across his foot. Bunnies and Lewis Black. Wow.

I've been busy trying to plan a wedding anniversary dinner for my husband's parents. I am meeting James Bond tomorrow at a country club to go over the menu. Yes, James Bond is the catering director at a country club. Who knew? Maybe he's working undercover.

Under whose cover?

*ba-dum-ching*

James Bond? Under cover? Hmmmmm, that sounds like a very interesting business meeting.

Say, I have an idea. Maybe your sweetie can convince Lewis Black to perform at the wedding anniversary dinner.

Keep us posted as to how it turns out. Somehow, knowing you, there will be something funny, strange or unexpected that will happen. Don't ask me how I know - I just have that feeling.

Tick,
~~My MIL said, "You're going to meet James Bond? Without your husband?

Josie,
~~I hope not! There will be children there, so I hope nothing unexpected happens. Lewis Black? I don't think Texas good ole boys would appreciate his humor.

Interesting. I wonder if the catering director introduces himself as "Bond, James Bond"... he must be getting all sorts of jokes.

Will you be serving martinis at the dinner?

Scarlet said...

James Bond?? It's going to be an adventure for sure!

I don't think I'm alone in saying, I want to see your impression of Lewis Black! A short video clip would be nice. ;)

Obviously the British government doesn't pay their employees enough if they have to take day jobs!
LOL!

HD,
~~He answered the phone, "This is James." After we had talked for a bit, I wanted to write down his whole name and said, "I didn't catch your last name (it had been on the phone menu)." He said, "Bond. B-O-N-D." And I didn't say a word! I bet that was unusual for him.

Scarlet,
~~No. I'm too self-conscious to do a video of myself telling a joke. And it's a longish story of Robin Williams telling a story that also involved Christopher Walken and I do that voice too. Maybe Josie can tell me how to do an audio clip and I could try it that way.

Tai,
~~No kidding! I can't wait to see what he looks like.

Where is your husband that there are all these Bunnies? Is he in Desert Hot Springs? That's the only place I have ever seen Bunnies all over the place...!

About Ruby Dee: Hers was a true "supporting" role. And she was terrific! It seems to me that this problem of swithching catagories has effected peoples perceptions of what a supporting role actually is....! And just how LARGE it has to be....! What she did was exactly why that category was created for all those years ago. And Hal Holbrook, too! Just my opinion.

Naomi,
~~He's in Scottsdale, Arizona. It's late and I'm sleepy, but thinking of a good supporting role, just so you know I get it, is Laura Linney in The Truman Show. I was agreeing with you on the category switching. I've noticed that a lot in recent years. So to stay with the Truman example, I'd also say that Ed Harris, who was nominated as a supporting actor for that movie was actually a lead actor in that movie.

You need to tell us all about James. God, imagine going through life with a name like that...

Jazz,
~~I once met a large black lady named Doris Day.

So, I'm really resentful of your husband, because I'm a huge Black fan, too.
Hmm, the only notable we ever got was Dog the Bounty Hunter, and that was only because we snuck into somebody else's convention.

Lewis Black is hilarious, but riotously filthy! ;D

Big Brother said...

I can just imagine you at the country club...
"Hello, my name is Bond...James Bond"
So are you now going to become a Bond girl??? Anyhow now we know where MI6 stashes its retired spies...

geewits said...

Ian,
~~I once sort of crashed a convention. It was great!

Leslie,
~~Filthy? No. Just hard-hitting.

Big Brother,
~~After meeting him, I don't think there's ever been a Bond girl.
