I have weird friends

Try to follow along here.

I was going through some stuff online, and saw a link to Penn’s new video thingy called Penn Says, where he posts short diatribes about stuff that irritates him (meaning everything). The site, Crackle.com, allows viewers to leave follow-up videos, which is extremely cool and I love it. The follow-ups are loaded below the Penn video, and you can see still frames from them.

So I look at the still frames and I see one from Iszi, a woman I met in England when I was there last month. She is totally awesome, a comedian and skeptic and she’s also very tall and has hawesome hair and is also maybe pretty hawt, not that I notice such things.

So I watched a few of her replies to Penn’s comments, and well, you can see why I’m posting this particular one here..

Iszi and meWell, just a correction: I’m not doing the Skepdude calendar this year. I thought about it, but figure I’ll never top the one I did last time… though a suggestion was made to me for a future picture that I am contemplating very seriously. But anyway, I did get to meet Iszi at the pub meetup in London, and I really enjoyed talking with her, and I guess I’m glad that she got to meet Randi even if she dumped me for him. Sigh. What is it about older men…?

    What is it about older menâ?¦?

    I hear the Viagra makes it work even better than the factory settings.

    To be fair, Penn often talks about things that interest, excite, and humble him.

    I watched the video and the first thing I thought was: “She’d be great to have on Doctor Who”

    Hullo BBC Wales, are you listening?

    Just as an aside, the Drugs and Suicide episode of Penn Says was in response to a question I asked him. So I’m pretty much Penn’s best friend now :P

    I just needed to boost my ego for a second. Carry on :)

    Um…does she even swing that way?

    Oops…/turns gaydar off.

    I know Penn rubs SOME people the wrong way (not me – I love the man!), but even if that is the case, you need to watch Iszi’s Penn Says contributions. Find the “tea bag” one, it’s a classsic.

    Weird?! I’m not weird.

    Was a fun evening. And no, I didn’t run off with Randi… *sigh*

    (Although I did hug both Phil and Randi, which means I now have them both in my overall ranking system. I shan’t give the results here. But they both beat Christian Slater in both hugability and scratchyness.)

    Woohoo!

    Why don’t you do your own calendar?

    Hell, I’d fly out to your part of the country and shoot it ;)
