sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand
About

If the assistant wears a Slayer shirt to work, but with a giant scarf, so that one might have some difficulty discerning that the assistant is in fact wearing a Slayer shirt, and the agent forgot to tell the assistant about a super-important meeting with a hotshot editor, is the assistant still technically wearing a Slayer shirt to the important publishing meeting?

On an unrelated note, did we all see that the television adaptation of Author-friend Carleen Brice's novel was the SECOND MOST-WATCHED ORIGINAL MOVIE IN THE HISTORY OF THE LIFETIME NETWORK???? Sorry, what was that? Was someone saying some bullshit about main characters of color not being commercially viable? THAT'S RIGHT, WE DIDN'T THINK SO.

CONGRATULATIONS AUTHOR-FRIEND CARLEEN! Why don't we all say that together now, VERY LOUDLY!

Watched it.
Loved it.
It made me cry (not something I admit to for just anyone).
Carleen is AWESOME.

Oh, I forgot...
Ivy was just as annoying in the film as she was in the book.
I feel better now for having said that.

Oh, and mad love to the Slayer t-shirt!

Congrats, Carleen! And to Lifetime as well!

About the Slayer shirt, what you can't see can't scare you. In fact, if that hotshot editor is truly hotshot, I bet he was wearing Slayer underwear.

Yay Carleen!

And do we even want to impress someone who does not appreciate the Slayer shirt? Surely not.

CONGRATULATIONS, AUTHOR FRIEND CARLEEN! :D

Also, Maine Character, is there really Slayer underwear? Because if there is, I really need to purchase some.

Do I detect a note of irony and/or cynicism in this blog?

Congrats! I haven't watched TV in two months, but I'm glad for Carleen!

And seriously, is there such a thing as Slayer boxers? Me thinks we need some :D

I'm pretty sure Slayer doesn't promote underwear of any sort.

Was your Bon Jovi shirt dirty today?

There actually used to be Slayer underwear. Like, official Slayer merchandise. I almost bought some because really, who wouldn't want underpants with the words "Fuckin' Slayer" on the butt?

I actually need to get another Slayer shirt - I lost mine forever ago.

Congrats to Carleen! Way to go! Whoo hoo! :D

And wearing the Slayer shirt to the important meeting is a GOOD thing. It inspires the Very Important Editor to try to live up to your level of awesome.

Very many congrats to Carleen.

Dear Ms Le R,

I saw this webcomic and thought of you. http://xkcd.com/590/

Yours sincerely

Icy.

I'll bet you $100 cold hard cash that Very Important Editor doesn't know who/what Slayer is.
