I was in the newspaper of Centerville Iowa population 1000, all because I was the 6’7” black guy from Chicago that chose to spend Spring Break with my friend in her home town and stumbled into teaching 3 ballroom dance classes for the High School kids! It was surreal as hell!? Front freaking page?!

@danplewnarz 2 года назад

My one appearance in the paper taught me everything I need to know about news media. I was interviewed and photographed when my Eagle Scout project, picnic tables at a local park, was washed away during a flood. The lesson came in the realization that I was not interviewed when the tables were built.

Does Matt wear his "house shoes"/slippers in B&BG as well? I'm not saying to slap Aaron with them, just place them, politely, in a spot that is mildly inconvenient and amusing. Like, under the leg of his chair - just tuck it in there, or next to his bag of potato chips in the cabinet. "WTF IS A SLIPPER DOING NEXT TO MY CHIPS?!"

Her boyfriend, who had never read the book, even commented that the remake seemed "off" somehow. I'm surprised Matt enjoyed it.
