Close Encounters

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.

Marry me? I would never make you raisin oatmeal cookies.

Celebrities 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.

Daniel said...

How dare Glen Close offer you a cookie. She should be ashamed of herself.

Can't believe you met Cruella De Vil and she offered you a cookie.

Damn you oatmeal raisin cookies. I always get excited thinking you're chocolate chip but alas it's you nasty oatmeal raisin.

Poke The Rock said...

The expressions are hilarious, also raisin oatmeal cookies? Seriously? Sounds like it came straight from hell!

I apply this situation to my favorite line from Ghostbusters::If someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes! so....

If 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.

For some reason all the gender assignments in that post in combination with Glenn's clearly male name got me quite confused. Damn her.
Funny as hell though, you rock.

Christine said...

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.
