Today I swung by Five Guys to pick up a double burger with the works and a huge side of super salty fries when the little Hispanic guy behind the counter said to me:
“Are you that actress from tv?”
I stared at him blankly and briefly considered putting a finger to my lips and whispering:
“Ssshh!”
Instead I conceded that indeed I was not that actress from television but please, tell me, which actress do you speak of?
“Oh, I’m not really good with names. I can’t think…maybe, oh I don’t know.”
Jennifer Tilly?
“Yeah, I think so, maybe, I don’t know.”
Probably Jennifer Tilly. Because everyone has made that comparison. And I do mean everyone.
And you know what was really cool about that exchange? He didn’t try to hit me up for my number which leads me to believe he genuinely believed I was that actress from tv.
I tell you, I’m all for illegals working in our country. I think I might even order another burger. Ten twenty seven at night.

Damn. Now I am craving a cheeseburger.

I just tried to order one but I was half an hour too late!
That’s ok. You made me crave vodka.

It is too late here to go for a burger but now I am thinking about that bottle of vodka in the fridge…..
[I am such a victim of subliminal suggestion.]

Burgers and vodka. Friends don’t let friends mix drunk.

I’ve always thought you look like Tilly also.
This new blog outfit is just fantastical. I can comment now!!!

I hate guys who are female blogger groupies, i couldn’t really care less, but yeah, you can go to the open bar.

I can see the resemblance to J Tilly, but I want to know if you talk like her ? I’ve always liked that breathey little voice of hers.
Fries do nothing for me, do they have good onion rings?
Burgers and vodka ? I’ll have to go for a nice cold beer with that meal, thank you.

Andy, silly boy! We don’t really want to go, we just wanted to see if you’d say yes! And now that you did, we lost interest…lol
Shooter – I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse but yes I do sound very much like her – I can give you a two minute phone sample but the rest of the call is not free lol
Yay, Kitty!
BTW, Andy — just kidding
September 23, 2007 at 5:34 pm |
If you sound like her too, that’s definitely a blessing in my book.
.99 a minute, okay, I can afford a ten minute call, but I need visuals too. Do you have a webcam ? I’ll call when you are watching Chuck Norris.
September 23, 2007 at 7:24 pm |
Oh that is smart, very smart, Shooter.

-” I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse but yes I do sound very much like her – ”
That I did not expect. Well, now I have change the proxy voice that my brain supplies when I read your stuff.

i’m like looking at the comments and noticing that you have a pretty goodlooking audience. What ever happened to ugly bloggers? I say down with the goodlooking bloggers.
That is all.
September 24, 2007 at 7:27 pm |
Well, Andy, you’re not so shabby yourself so welcome to the club.
September 24, 2007 at 9:04 pm |
How odd.
I went to school with one of the (many) Tillys. Just got back from trying to find him. Also visited I Can Has Cheeseburger?. And my very next click brings me here, where both Jen and cheeseburgers are in play.

That’s who you reminded me of. People used to say that I sounded like her. I have a high voice and when I get a cold I sound like that I guess. I think that’s kinda hot though.

I think Stil sounds more like Marilyn than the Tilly sisters. Looks more like the Tilly girls though.
October 5, 2007 at 1:27 am |
Oh, cool, thank you! Thank you VERY much!
Welcome, Arm Jerker! And please, let me know if there is another name that you prefer!
October 6, 2007 at 1:04 am |
Maybe I need one! Most just say AJJ. Or Arm. The anti-socialist makes me wanna rethink that moniker.

I love Jennifer Tilly on Poker After Dark or what ever poker games are on in the middle of the night. Stil you are prettier though….
October 7, 2007 at 4:14 pm |
You so sweet, Jennifer! But do you realize how old she is? She looks damn fine for her age!
As for you, Arm Jerker, AJJ it is!
October 9, 2007 at 9:03 am |
That is funny you say that. I only think of her as old as she was in my favorite movie roll. Everyone looks like crap on poker after dark it’s part of it’s charm.
