5 Questions 9/6/10

Happy Labor Day!  A great long weekend is over (our livers are thankful). 

Question #1:  Eric- loved your basketball article!  After reading about your love for Black Jesus, what do you think about his backcourt mate Clyde doing the “Just for Men” commercials?  Has Clyde lost his street cred?  (Paul in NY)  See photos at the end

Eric Prae:  Lost his street cred?  Lost his street cred?  Are you kidding me?  Let’s break down Clyde’s Career:

Walt “Clyde” Frazier:  Led the NY Knicks to THEIR ONLY 2 Championships.  One of the best point guards OF ALL TIME!  NBA Hall of Famer, all Rookie team, 7 time all-star, All-Star game MVP, first team all NBA 4 times, all defense team 7 times, all around nasty BALLER!

The Knicks haven’t won a damn thing since Clyde and Black Jesus were there in the 1970’s.  So no, a few cheesy commercials haven’t taken anything away from this NY legend.

Final Breakdown:              Clyde = Gansta                 Paul from NY = D-Bag

Jenn B.:  Wait.  What?

 
Question #2:  What’s more embarrassing:  Actually sleeping with “the Situation” or getting thrown out of his bed?  (Nicole in Syracuse)

Jenn B.: Hmmm… I thought long and hard about this one.  Yeah, for like a whole 45 seconds.  I would definitely say getting thrown out of his bed; no one remembers the skanks that he hooks up with due to the quantity of girls that it’s been, but you know everyone remembers the one that gets rejected.  Mainly because he doesn’t really say “no” to many times, as long as they have a pulse- so getting rejected means you are really at the bottom of the barrel.

Eric Prae:  Getting rejected happens.  Getting rejected by a rioded up little person on NATIONAL TELEVISION is absolutely the most embarrassing moment of that woman’s life.

Just think how many random bystander strangers lives have been completely ruined by this show!  The guy on the boardwalk in season 1 who Ronnie knocked out, ON NATIONAL TV!  The Guy outside the club that Ronnie knocked out in season 1, ON NATIONAL TV!  The guy that punched Snookie probably lives in some third world country where season 1 DVD’s can’t be ordered or watched.  The girl that had her face shown on MTV show promo’s over and over again that they called a “Hippo”, ON NATIONAL TV!  And of course, every single girl that a cast member has called a “grenade” while their face was ON NATIONAL TV! 

God, I love the Jersey Shore!

 
Question #3:  Jenn- Do you really start a fight in every bar you go into?  (Dan in St. Pete)

Jenn B.:  Listen Dan- there has been some confusion about me and my struggles with verbal altercations.  It really doesn’t happen often, but it just so happens that a few all occurred within the same 72 hour period.  I don’t ever start anything (Eric may have something different to say about this), but I sure end them.  It may be that I am from NY, or it may be the fact that I don’t have that little conscience thing on my shoulder saying, “Whooaaaa slick…calm down, walk away.”  Actually, now that I think about it… I think it’s because of Eric.  It’s easier to just blame him.  Dan, you should come out with us sometime, and maybe you’ll get a good idea as to why this phenomenon happens.

Eric Prae:  Yeah, that makes sense.  Blame the calm hippy sensible one who is always trying to get Jenn out of altercations…  In Jenn’s defense, there are just way too many d-bags out there that usually pick a fight with her.  Jenn just has a sweet combination of quick wit, anger and testicular fortitude that most people don’t.  She strikes fast and hard. 


Question #4:  Team Struggle- I love when you give people bad dating advice!  I am a single female living in Tampa Bay trying to sift through all the “Man Bedazzled” (love Eric’s term) meatheads, idiots and wanna-be-ganstas.  Where, when, how and what do I do to find a normal man?  (Patrice in Tampa)

Jenn B.:  Patrice- I am pretty sure that your first mistake is asking the likes of us for relationship advice.  I am a disaster, and Eric is… well, Eric.  I can tell you where NOT to look; online, South Tampa, Hyde Park, online, beach, online, coffee shop, walk-in clinic, online, homeless shelter, online, and definitely not online.  Hope that was helpful!  If you do happen to find a man without enough baggage to fill a Boeing 757, a nervous habit of tugging at his man pieces, and the social skills of a centipede… send him my way.

Eric Prae:  Jenn might complain, but dating in Tampa has made both of us MUCH better comedy writers.  Every time we go out, free laugh material is just everywhere!

 
Question #5:  For the fifth and final question we give you: The Struggle Moment of the Week!  Thanks to Sarah from NY for the original idea.

Eric Prae:  I was in Target waiting in an endless line at the “fitting room” when I got bored and started people watching.  I started talking up the guy in the line in front of me who told me he was waiting patiently for his wife to come out. He was excited because they were bathing suit shopping.   The guy looked about 40, stood about 5’5” carried a few extra pounds and was wearing a flannel.  He was also really funny.  He joined my little game of people watching and we got chatting about the Struggle Bus.

All of a sudden, a stunning hot female about 25ish years old strutted out of the fitting room wearing nothing but a bathing suit.  As basically every man in the store stopped to stare at her, she quietly pointed at my new friend and summoned him into the fitting room with her.

I looked at my new friend dumbfounded.  He looked up at me and just said:  “I got machismo my brother!”

I was laughing so hard that all I could say back was:  “Good for you”!

That’s how we struggle.
