Neil Diamond: We Offer You Our Protection
I need your help today. I need us to ban together and focus on one, perhaps unattainable goal. I know you’re busy. I’m busy. But sometimes we need to set aside some time to do something for someone who richly deserves it. Someone I can guarantee is as busy as anyone I know, yet he’ll happily take the time (make the time) for a friend. Or a stranger.
I first followed Outnumberedisme on twitter because his last name is Mayo. Do I need any more? I don’t think so. If you have Mayo in your name, you’re like my family. The brother I never had. Right now it’s OutnumberedOnline, Mayo Pie and Richard Gere from Officer and A Gentleman. We’re kind of like the 3 Musketeers, but we could probably take the actual musketeers in hand-to-hand combat. Hear that, Kiefer Sutherland, Oliver Platt and Charlie Sheen? (They were in the 1993 remake.) The Brothers Mayo will fuck you up. I call Charlie.
Let’s set aside my fantasy Hollywood rumbles for a second. Sometimes my mind has a way of drift…
Outnumbered just delivered a tiger claw to the throat of Oliver Platt while sitting on his chest after just having executed some of the most vicious purple nurples this mind’s eye has ever seen. I’ve already dispatched of Charlie with a Karate Kid Crane-kick… Officer Mayo is chewing on Kiefer’s ear with a move he calls “the angry gerbil”. I’m laughing so hard about that while going through Charlie’s pocket for drugs and his little black book.
That’s how it would go down. I’m telling you. We are so bad ass.
Anyway, back to why we’re here tod..
Uh oh. I hear sirens. To the Brothers Mayo Mobile!! They’ve never caught us before. Today will be no different. I insist on driving. They never let me (older brothers can be assholes sometimes), but Outnumbered hurt his hand or something when he was giving Oliver a wet willy. The eldest of us is still in gerbil mode, scratching wildly in every direction. We have to put him in the trunk again.
People think I have ADD. I think that’s ridi…
Stop yelling at me! I know how to drive!
But I can focus. One of my friends has to take all the questions she asks me in e-mails and recap them at the bottom. It’s sooo helpful. I love chocolate.
I’m not getting on the freeway! That’s suicide! do you know how hard it is to drive with someone yelling at you? Especially when every cop in the city is chasing you? And… the Chinese army? Fuck. Will you tranquilize him or something? That scratching is driving me crazy.
So this is going exactly where you thought it would go. I’ve been experimenting with a writing tool called “foreshadowing”. The lead up to the pay-off, so to speak. Letting the story unfold a little so that you, the reader, can take part in piecing the puzzle together. Like a word detective.
In conclusion, OutNumbered was referred to me by IzzyMom as someone who might be able to help him acquire the love of one Neil Diamond, as Outnumbered is probably Neil’s single biggest fan. I agreed to help, because I am soooo bored. Vagina. And there you have why we are here today, though I’m sure most of you figured that out by now. I’m really just recapping for those of you who were drinking or whatever. The first step is admitting you have a problem.
Is that a Terminator? When did the Chinese army get a terminator? Fuck! Ok, we’re going to have to convert to jet mode. Arm the plasma missiles. We might have to cloak. Shut up, cloaking isn’t for pussies. We don’t have time for this right now. I am acutely aware that Terminators see infra-red, that’s what the missiles are for. Confusion. I’m not a baby.
So here’s the problem: Neil Diamond doesn’t really follow anyone on twitter. In fact, he follows no one at all. That makes sense. However, he’s recently been soliciting on twitter for good jokes. So maybe here is where we should start:
One of the last jokes Neil chose to use was, “What do you call someone else’s cheese? Nacho cheese.”
I love that one, but we can do better. So let’s get on twitter and tell Neil some jokes, making sure to include @Outnumberedisme in each. We’ll call this phase 1. And let’s keep it clean, because Neil likes his jokes clean, I think. Here’s an example:
@NeilDiamond @Outnumberedisme Why did the chicken cross the road? He was Coming to America.
I totally just made that up. Just now. I’ll bet you can’t tell.
In fact, we can just Retweet that one. I think he’ll like it because it incorporates a classic and one of the greatest songs ever, all in one uproarious good time.
I ask for your assistance. I ask for ideas. I ask for your commitment to the cause. I ask for you to become an honorary brother and the family will always have your back. Whenever you need us, we will be there.
Today begins our quest. Rest assured, while full of awesome super hero goodness, this post will not get the job done. Today is simply the inital courting stages. Today is the day we put Neil Diamond on notice.
If you’re interested in joining the cause, you can leave a comment here or e-mail me at mayopie.ba@gmail.com or just tell me how stupid I am and how I totally deserve to get fire…
After having saved the city from the evil musketeers, the Brothers Mayo returned to their lair with the spoils of war they so richly deserved. And partied like it was 1999.
Just Another day at the office for the Brothers Mayo.
I realize there are at least 4 Canadians that read my blog. And I’d like you to know that the Brothers Mayo, while based in America, are friends to our Canadian brethren. You fall under our umbrella of protection (within 100 miles of the border, check website for map). We ask that you join our fight. We ask that we put aside our differences. That we combine our efforts to reach the pinnacle of achievement. Together. The USA and The Canada. United We stand, divided we fall, ay?
Fuckin’ ay right.
