MacGruber! Makes life-saving inventions out of household materials!
MacGruber! He fumbles his tomato jokes but we won’t hold it against him!
The guy’s a frikkin’ genius, MacGruber!
See you in 30…
re: “moms who ignored…”:
BWAH!
Reminds me of the story about when my parents went out to dinner, and there was a little kid in a highchair at another table, and my dad stuck his tongue out at the kid, and the kid stuck his tongue out at my dad, and the mom yelled at the kid because she didn’t see my dad do it.
(See? I came by ‘bitch’ naturally. It’s in my genes.)
Um…I think that Will Forte is pretty cute!!
Number of people jealous that even in a tomato costume you can still run into cute actors in New York – 1
;)
You my friend are AWESOME.
That makes three out of three TWoP founders who’ve run across Will Forte this week.
And I hope the lollipop-eating guy who sniffed you in the elevator wasn’t Dave.
“network presidents initially mistaking me for an orange: 1”
Whaaa? Oranges…are orange. I mean, at least with apples and cranberries, you’re in the right color family.
Number of people named Will Forte who work near Sars that are apparently not as spontaneously funny as you would assume based on their day job: 1
Tell me you thanked him for Clone High.
Sorry, nothing to do with Tomotoes.
You didn’t get a ton of weird comments inside the building though did you? I spent some time working over in 9W…and this schtuff is common place there :)
@Tara: It was neither Dave. Unfortunately.
Jesus, you’re awesome.
Oh, man, sounds like a fun day. For some reason, the Japanese tourist part makes me laugh the hardest. Wish I could’ve made it, but I have both a cold (WITH a stomach bug! Yay!) and a terminally ill cat to deal with. Oh well, if next year’s stunt is public, I’ll do my best to be there. Can’t wait for the video!
Good ol’ Will Forte! :)

I work like a block from Rockefeller Center and I totally forgot to go look for you! Dammit!
Oh well. Congrats on kicking Colbert’s ass.
Sars! You’re the bestest Tomato ever. This is so very fabulous!
