James's Story

Just got a rejection letter for my proposed slogan: "Classmates: MySpace for Old People" They're still considering "Politics: Show Biz for Ugly People" over at CNN.com, though. Keep hope alive. ***It's great that people want to sign my "Guestbook," but I can't see who you are! Between the cable bill, supporting 7 strippers and a Himalayan village kid named "Pito" (I bought him a burro!) as well my posh country club membership fee, I am tapped out financially and cannot afford to upgrade my Classmates account. Priorities, people. But PLEASE also drop me a line if you decide you still want to sign something I cannot see because the curiosity is killing me (right up until the point where Classmates asks for my credit card number)! I'm good at emailing back. Just ask the three people who have contacted me and are already wishing they hadn't. I AM kidding (except for the "it's great" and the "send me an email" parts). The stripper part used to be true, but then I got married and my wife won't let them come over anymore. She says all they want is a guy's money but I think they really cared about me. They whispered in my ear, after all... Bah, wives..."Stop doing heroin," "Stop dressing the baby up like OJ Simpson," "Stop hitting on my sister," "Stop being an arsonist," "Stop blah blah blah." They never let you do anything. Strippers are nice people, I say. Other tasty factoids about me include: I live in L.A. and actually LOVE it (and by "LOVE it," I mean "I'm certifiable"). It's like paradise, only with traffic, gangs and, worst of all...Starbucks. Most would say it's "Hell," and I agree because for four years I lived in Youngstown so I would know...booyah! Oh, couldn't resist. Not everyone would want to live here and that's a good thing because it takes me too long to get to work some mornings a...Expand for more
s it is. Clearly, I haven't changed anything but my zip code...oh yeah, I met a girl and she seems to be skilled enough thus far to keep me from suffering John Belushi's fate. I'm actually a LOT like Belushi, only not as brilliant, fat, talented, rich or dead. Or as fat. Or dead. As for my critters, let's just say I could field one-third of a softball team out of Casa de Gordon alone. Between them and my wife it's like having four moms. A few of them are really f*&%ing short, too, but dammit if each one isn't as bossy as the next. I'm looking forward to seeing you all next year...are we doing this at the Red Carpet Inn or are we going to the high falootin' Embassy Suites? I definitely think we should pay the Corner Restaurant to stay open late because I still love going there. That breakfast kicks ass! Either way, I'm more excited than a coked-up George Bush in a room full of red buttons...unless you're looking to have a crappy time. Then, I don't want to talk to you. Oh, one other thing...since Joe's putting in all this time and energy along with the rest of the 20th Reunion Exploratory Team, I thought it would be nice if we all pitched in on something really nice. In the spirit of going in style, I've taken the liberty of ordering a case of Mad Dog 20/20 and hope you don't mind me choosing the traditional Grape flavor (I'm a hopeless romantic). I think this will really impress our old friends who are working so hard to bring us rigatoni. We'll split the cost...just please, please, please remember to dig your contribution out of the ashtray BEFORE you valet. Thanks. So there's no confusion, I like rigatoni and do appreciate Joe and the Exploratory Team whether they drink the Mad Dog or not (I wanted to put in an asterisk for that statement but Classmates charges extra for excessive punctuation).
