Faces: Slug a Mug.
You may recall that I like to try on other people’s faces. When I see someone with an odd expression, I like to try to make the same expression. I don’t think it’s that unusual, is it? I want to see how it feels on my face.
Well, I had a new reaction the other day. I saw this picture of Bill Cosby playing the drums. (On MSNBC’s entertainment picture slideshow.) And my first reaction was that I sort of wanted to slug him.
And then I realized that I want to slug John Mayer, as well.
I am forced to conclude that while I have a natural tendency to want to mimic an odd facial expression, if pushed too far, my next reaction is to want to slug it off their mug.
I’m not alone here, am I? Whose mug do you want to slug?

The colleague I share an office with, AND mathematician. Oh God, how I would love the chance to slug both of them in the mug. Just thinking about it gives me goose bumps

SnarkyRunner – Huh, I don’t know who that is. But The Ballerina watches that show so we’ll see if she chimes in.

Brenda – *laugh* Let’s hope your colleague has no clue. I have a feeling the mathematician might have a slight idea.

Heather – Yeah, A-Rod is a class A A-hole. He’s conceited as hell.

mary murphy is pretty annoying. BLAEHEHEHEHEEHEHHHHHHHH!
anyways, i have always felt like slugging SJP when watch SATC. its less about what her face looks like and more about these dumb expressions she makes with it, mainly: while typing on her laptop, or thinking, or smoking.

QTMama – Wow. You must spend much of the day with balled up fists.

1. Cameron Diaz.
2. Rev. Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church (just trust me on this and don’t Google him if you don’t already know who he is; you’ll be mad all day.)
Not necessarily in that order.

The Ballerina (AKA Janet Reno):
Ordering one slug for Mary Murphy.
Ordering one slug for Sarah Jessica Parker.
Ordering one throat-punch for Ira.
Done. Will send you bill.

Wow, I’ve never really thought of Cameron Diaz as inspiring slugs! Why do you want to sock it to her?

Krystie Lee –
AMEN. With those arms crossed in front of her, chin sucked down to her chest, half-lidded eyes full of loathing and a nasty personality to top it off. Imagine if she WON.

Heh! I sometimes do the facial expression thing too! Hehe, even better… sometimes when I hear someone say something funny or weird I’ll sound it out in my head and may even mouth it out
Doh!
As far as who I’d like to slug: Bill O’Reilly. Total hater.

Cameron Diaz earned it in the first 15 minutes of ‘The Holiday’. That’s when I realized her voice is enough to vote her the first to be eaten in a lifeboat/plane crash situation even though there isn’t a whole lot of meat on her. I have a low threshold for bad acting.
