Getting to the bottom of things

I woke up yesterday morning at 4:51am. I had a mission. After a year of comparisons from Gateway folk, I was going to get the definitive answer from the man himself. The question would be, "Hey Steve Nash, do you think we look alike?" I'll explain. A few weeks ago, I got an email from the guy at Nike who gives me free shoes. He invited me out to Vancouver to check out the Nike Skills Academy, where the top 20 high school players in the country get instruction from some of the country's best coaches and for a day, from Nash himself, who's in Vancouver for his charity game on Saturday. He told me that availability was limited, but he'd do what he could to get me some one on one time with the MVP. So yesterday morning, I touched down in Vancouver at 8am, camera in hand to ask Steve Nash what it was like to look like me. I got to UBC (where the camp's being held) a couple hours early and saw this:

Steve Nash shaved his fucking head ten days before I met him, thereby destroying any leeway I thought I'd have in the interview with him. At this point, all I can do is shave my head before his charity game on Saturday, and hope that he says, "Hey, that guy looks like me. Take 300,000 dollars, it's nothing to me. I signed a 60 million dollar deal with Phoenix. I'm the MVP."
Updates to come on Saturday.

You should've brought the photoshop pic that I made. That would convince him!

So are you being sarcastic or not when you said you shaved your head?

I won't shave my head. I got my hair cut last week and spent too much money on it to lop it all off now. He's tough to get to, it would have been impossible to give him the photoshop, Steve Nash comics, or to get him to sign my shoe, all things I wanted to do but realize now that I'm lucky to ask him a question.

I finally saw that A&W ad. You're right, she totally said jizz!

Hey! We added you to our blogroll at covered in oil. I don't know if it means anything to you guys, but it makes me happy.

I saw that too and I was very happy as well. But let's be honest for a minute here though, was it the vapid conversation on Day of Our Lives or the Katamari-esque banner that resulted in such honour?

Because, really, Chelsea is totally another Sammi in making. Also, she looks very much like Rachel Bilson (from The O.C.). so even her face is unoriginal as well.

Also, I played the Katamari sequel. It's like an acid trip encasted in pink cotton candy.

Iris, you're good at making videogames and drugs sound tasty.

Chelsea's a reekazoid. Her face is unoriginal, just like the 18th re-casting of her TV mom, Billie. Anyone got votes on the hottest actors on Days? My vote goes to Sexy Lexie Carver. owww! Also, why does it never get old to see Sami crash and burn?

I saw the A&W ad again. I swear she said jizz to see if she could get away with it.
