Yesterday’s moment of convergence

Witnessing @cwalken being spontaneously praised, in my very own living room, and then witnessing @mdresser explain, in person, that it’s (probably) not really Christopher Walken. My apartment is now exactly like Twitter, but in 3D, with cake.

    In your own words, pics or it didn’t happen.

    I’m afraid I didn’t take any pics, since I was in the kitchen for 98 percent of the party. There are several witnesses, though . . .

    And I can tell you that Mike is much taller in person than he appears on Twitter.

    I always wondered about that. So he was bigger than the cake? That IS tall.

    I hope for a Very Large India-made Cake upon my return to New York.

    This cake was not as big as the cake you experienced, though someone—possibly Mike—said it was the biggest one he’d ever seen. To which I replied with something to the effect that he just hadn’t seen enough cakes.

    Are you ever coming back to New York?

    Incidentally, at least two of my friends think I’m very strange for inviting over a guy whom I’d never met. To which I was all like, “But I follow him on Twitter! If he were an axe murderer, I’d know about it!”

    Did it look like the aftermath of a monkey-bomb lobbing, asks the Folk Memory of Clusterflock?

    Mr. Dresser will have to vote on that. To me, it looked relatively monkey-free, but I’m used to it.

    Dear god, let this previous comment become Google hit #1 for my name.

    Also: I may have been a bit larger than the cake, but in flavor it was my superior. Hands down.

  14. Lucy Foley on March 20th, 2009 at 7:24 pm

    You are probably not the best judge of that, Mike. #taste

    I will blog you as a monkey etc. ax person etc. as my contribution to the cause.

  15. India on March 20th, 2009 at 7:34 pm

    Yeah, I was gonna say . . .

    Nobody took the opportunity to lick Mr. Dresser, as far as I know. Next time, though—for science!

  16. Lucy Foley on March 20th, 2009 at 7:45 pm

    lick mr. dresser! lick him! lick him!

  17. Mike Dresser on March 20th, 2009 at 7:48 pm

    Watch it, potential lickers. You wouldn’t want to get monkey-bombed, much less axe-murdered, now would you?

  18. Lucy Foley on March 20th, 2009 at 7:58 pm

    Mike, we hope this is doing wonders for your reputation.
