Found myself at the Le Peep on Washington yesterday with my good bud Sarah. After breakfast we strolled back to her place, but not before we took a walk through the craziness that is… the Oprah Store. What the F is this? Further proof that Oprah is becoming an amusement park. The crazy thing? There was A TOUR BUS out front and about 75 people in there. At 11AM on Sunday morning!!! And it’s not like you stumble across this store while you are shopping the Mag Mile. This is off the beaten path. There are no other retail opportunities for miles. And it’s not like a taping of the show just let out and these ladies were looking for a fun momento. There just buying shit that is close Harpo Studios. This is truly a tourist destination. And I don’t know why, but I was surprised that the only merchandise in the store (and it’s a big store) is stuff with an “O” on it. Thermoses, towels, baby outfits, yoga mats, lamps, notebooks, insulin, car batteries, prosthetic limbs. I’m going to start giving people shit with MY initials on it. ”Here! I thought you might enjoy this tote bag with KJ on it because you love me so much!”

First, there are two Douches of the Day. Which, for noticing that, probably makes me a Douche of the Day as well.
Anyway…
The Oprah. Very Frightening. Usually she’ll do great shows on all of these humanitarian topics, w/ the occasional freak show (Tom Cruise, Man Who is a Woman who is Pregnant), and I think – you know, she’s really for the greater good. Ah, but in reality its about the cash – and her pilot schools in Africa.
I’d like a coffee mug with KJ on one side, and a Zoey quote on the other. Can you all make that happen? I’d also like an Ed Bus, Todd Voorhies, Crazy Pants, and Brent Wickerman mug as well for my collection.
Quotes on the mugs:
Ed Bus “Shut the fuck up, Joey!”
Voorhies “So, fuckin’, what’s up bitches?”
Crazy Pants ” ”
Brent Wickerman “Success is a many two-handed beast”
I love the Brent quote! That is the best. As for Zoe… I’ll have to put some thought into that!
I already have some KJ monogrammed paraphenalia. Read it and weep you posers.
Damn! My plan didn’t account the “Ken Johnsons” of the world…
Nice pull on that quote Fred.
Brent: Double Jeopardy, it means they can’t arrest you two days in a row.
Tony: I don’t think that’s what Double Jeopardy means.
Brent: Well, I read a lot of books.
Sign me up for an Ed Bus bobblehead.
