The first Mimic might seem a little random at first, but don't be scared and go ahead and give it a chance. It can pretty much be summed up in one little hyphenated word: Mimi-siku.
How glorious was that clip right thurr?? I mean, other than the fact that he was so scantily clad that it was kinda awkward at times (especially when he's sitting on top of the Statue of Liberty), it really is a great throwback to a terrible movie (what???). Plus, "Mimi-siku" is so fun to say. Just try it a few times and tell me it's not catchy and amazing. I double dog dare you.
Mimic numero deux is comin at ya courtesy of one Jeffrey Vander-krizzle. I say courtesy of the big man because he was the one responsible for yoinking the January 22 issue of RollingStone magazine from 30 Rock that contained the article I ended up reading and now posting for you all to feast your eyes on. A link to the article by Sabrina Rubin Erdely is here.
The article chronicles the story surrounding a Hammonton, New Jersey High School student (Jason Eickmeyer) and his relationship with one of the school's Gym teachers (26-year-old Traci Tapp). It began when he was just 15, continued throughout his time in high school, and by his own admission, really messed him up.
Erdely points out how this story is representative of a greater trend that we are increasingly seeing in the news and police blotters:
"In the span of a single week last year, three female teachers were arrested for sleeping with male students - and that was just in Tampa, Florida... Those arrests stole the spotlight from married English teacher Jennifer Mally, 26, who that same week pleaded guilty in Arizona for her affair with a 16-year-old, often conducted in the back of her Nissan Xterra. Two months earlier, Rebecca Bogard, a 27-year-old science teacher in Mississippi, allegedly seduced a 15-year-old in her Jaquar with plates that read GRRRRR... Scadalous as those cases were, they were followed by more arrests - notably that of Julie Pritchett, 34, a teacher in Alabama accused of seducing eight members of the high school baseball team."
On a quick sidenote, how fitting is it that it was in an Xterra and that the license plate read grrrrr???? Also, EIGHT players??!!?!?!?!
Mimic number 3 is all thanks to Wolfy, who sent along this hilarious LOST video. If you are a fan of the show, you will love it. If you've never seen the show, then you're an idiot.
Watching this video with the guy's repeated desperate calls to his friend ("Dude, was that a dinosaur?!?!?! What is it?!?! Four seasons later you don't know?!?" "What's in the hatch?!" "They took Walt!?!?" and on and on) was absolutely classic and reminiscent of my LOST viewing experiences. While becoming slightly more exasperated each time, his friend tries to remain patient, echoing, "Just watch." There was really nothing quite like annoying the hell out of Wolfy as Phil and I trucked through 3 seasons of LOST with him and asked him most/all of these same questions. "They've GOTTA be in purgatory!!!!" Great find there Wolfy.
Mimic number 4 is the song "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers. I know you're probably thinking that doesn't make sense, but listen to it 2 or 10 times and you'll start to feel me on this one. You can also watch the awesome Nike commercial with this song here.
You know what, now that I'm taking it there, Mimic number 4 is going to be expanded to include a playlist consisting solely of the following songs on repeat, until you lose your mind (just like me):
1. "All These Things That I've Done" - The Killers
2. "Long Division" - Death Cab For Cutie
4. "Trust Me" - The Fray
and finally...
Ok get after it. Live it, love it, chop it. Cheers.
