FRIENDS OR ENEMIES

By looking at this picture, it's hard to tell if Donkey Kong & Brainy Smurf are friends or enemies.

I think they're going to get a long just fine.

This Donkey Kong seems very friendly. He doesn't seem overprotective (of the Princess) like he is in the video game. He just seems to be stronger than he realizes. Maybe that's why the Smurf is missing an arm and a foot.
Maybe Donkey went to shake his hand and broke it off by mistake. And the reason Brainy is pissed, is because now he only has one hand to do all his nerd activities like write, solve math problems, and spell dirty words on the calculator.

When I found this Donkey Kong doll, I screamed with joy, but on a low level, because i didn't want to cause a scene in the thrift store. When i found this ceramic Smurf, i was really excited - and confused - because he's white. It's as if the painter either had never seen the Smurfs & didn't know that they're skin is blue - or maybe he's bigoted against blue Smurfs, so he made this one white. Or maybe this is a very rare white Smurf that people haven't seen often because he's afraid of the sun. It's very confusing. But also interesting.

I'll ask Liz Lemon if I can write a sketch about a white Smurf & Donkey Kong hangin' out. Not sure if she'll dig it, I think she's more of a Dungeons & Dragons person.

Talk soon.

MORE SPRING CLEANING

This is what I’d look like if I was related to Hulk Hogan.

I was doing more cleaning at my apartment. For the past 3 weeks, whenever friends call me and ask me what I’m doing, I say “Cleaning my apartment”. And they say, “That’s what you said last week”. And I say, “Well, I’m still cleaning it”. I try but I can’t help it - I’m a pack rat. I got a lot of stuff to clean. Anyways, when I was cleaning, I found an old Hulk Hogan mask. So, here’s a picture of me wearing it. I can’t remember where I picked this up. Probably at a thrift shop about 10 years ago. I initially bought it ‘cause I’m a wrestling fan, and I thought it might be funny to use in a sketch or a short movie. If I ever see something that could be a prop in a sketch, I get it. I still haven’t used this mask in a sketch. And don’t worry, I would not wear this to work, I think Liz Lemon would fire me if I did. Maybe Jenna could wear it in a sketch? That could be funny. And it would definitely piss off Jenna if she had to wear it.
Cool.
