One summer as a kid I was best friends with Glenn Close's nephew. We went to the same summer camp and we bonded over our fondness for Blue Yoshi (because he could fly, thus making him the
best Yoshi). Glenn co-owned a coffee shop in town with her sister Jessie. I'd seen her a couple times downtown, but I never spoke to her until I inadvertently made friends with her nephew.
I was invited to a family picnic at his house, and Glenn showed up with a big bag of homemade cookies. She took one out and offered it to me.


That was the first and last time I spoke to Glenn Close.
One thing's certain: Helen Mirren wouldn't offer me no fucking oatmeal raisin cookie, that's for sure.
Oh noes! The last 2 pictures aren't showing up :(
ReplyDeleteIf only it had been chocolate chip... the possibilities could have been endless!
ReplyDeleteGlenn Close kinda looks like Conan O'brien
ReplyDeletemarry me?
ReplyDeleteyeah the last two pics aren't showing. plzfix :(
ReplyDeleteYeah, the bottom two pictures aren't showing up for me either. :( But...I love oatmeal raisin cookies. :P
ReplyDeleteMarry me? I would never make you raisin oatmeal cookies.
ReplyDeleteCelebrities have no idea how to be social with normal people. Any normal person would have known you bring chocolate chip or M&M cookies to a picnic.
ReplyDeleteHow dare Glen Close offer you a cookie. She should be ashamed of herself.
ReplyDeleteyou've some psycho fans dude....

ReplyDeleteHelen Mirren beats Glenn Close in a cool contest any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteYay they're working! <3
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you met Cruella De Vil and she offered you a cookie.
ReplyDeleteNo Oatmeal Comics then?
ReplyDeleteDamn you oatmeal raisin cookies. I always get excited thinking you're chocolate chip but alas it's you nasty oatmeal raisin.
ReplyDeleteThe expressions are hilarious, also raisin oatmeal cookies? Seriously? Sounds like it came straight from hell!
ReplyDeleteI apply this situation to my favorite line from Ghostbusters::If someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes! so....
ReplyDeleteIf Glenn Close offers you a cookie, you say yes!
Of course the Blue Yoshi is the best Yoshi!!!!!! I think the worst Yoshi is the yellow one. Who cares if you can stomp really hard? Ugh. Waste of time.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDelete:( I wish this post was longer. I love reading your stuff. <3
ReplyDeleteFor some reason all the gender assignments in that post in combination with Glenn's clearly male name got me quite confused. Damn her.
ReplyDeleteFunny as hell though, you rock.
Do you make lots of money? Because you should. Because you're so very funny. So very. And with the art. It's like... the stuff that is on tv. Animated. On the cartoon network. Or one of those comedy channels, late at night... yea. You're famous.
ReplyDeleteAt least she didn't boil a rabbit on your stove....
ReplyDeleteBlue Yoshi is TOTALLY the best Yoshi!
ReplyDeleteAmazing story! You totally captured Glenn.
ReplyDeleteBEST EVER. I love the one-eye reappearance after you think she's gone.
ReplyDeleteI laughed.
ReplyDeleteMy drink fell out of my mouth.

Yeah, late to this boat I am. But this means you grew up in bozo. I spent most of my college years in that coffee shop along with cactus records. Yay for wasting my education dollars!
