Thank Shue

You cannot believe the stress and pressure of the last few days around here. Blackwifeo is a 'Dedicated Follower of Facebook' (a DFF), and the latest fad (well before the latest, latest, type your name into urbandictionary.com fad) is to change your profile picture to a celeb that you look like. She asked me what I have come to understand is the second most dangerous question of married life (after "how do I look in this?") - "What celebrity do I look like?". Of course, I have no idea. As far as I'm concerned she is the most beautiful woman alive and way surpasses all others in her radiance. Still, clueless male that I am, I had no idea. The matter went on for days, while all her friends were facebooking with pictures of Goldie Horn, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Barbra Streisand etc, she was stuck with her own picture. What a problem.

Finally today, a friend from the US (thanks Lianne) figured it out. She looks like Elizabeth Shue! Especially the biceps. Whew the relief. But you know, bwo, you are much better looking than Elizabeth Shue and I think she should rather use your picture in her FB profile.

awwwwww thanks Petero. You are really a nice boy.
BDO decided that you look like Hugh Laurie as House (not jeeves and woster)

But I think you and The Edge could be brothers.

Jeesus, is this week suck up to spouse week?

Dude, every week is suck up to spouse week. How long you been married, anyway? You're still new at this. As my dad used to say - the first 50 years are hard, then it eases off a bit.

Dude, if you look like House I am totally leaving my husband for you.

RAWR.

Kelley, is this what you do when you have a week alone at home? Oh and the only thing House and I have in common is the never ending glee we take in seeing how nasty we can be to our employees before they revolt.

Jozie said...

wait, i must have missed the "type your name into urbandictionary.com fad". dammit.

Oh and Kelly, I totally disagree with Petero and his uncanny resemblance to House.
They have the SAME personality and are both brilliant. But Petero is wayyyy more grumpy.
I have begged him to got on happy pills for ages, but I think he prefers to punish the lot of us.

Forget the happy pills, all I want is Vicodin.
