Welcome to the F-List
It’s always kind of surreal when I’m out somewhere and someone I haven’t seen in a long time, or someone who I only know in passing comes up to me and asks about season two or calls me an asshole for not updating the web page. I know we have a fan base, I only need to look at the raw data on monthly hits to see that, but there is this weird disconnect between understanding something empirically versus abstractly.
We don’t get much fan mail (or any) and the comments written on my posts have been limited, so for now, much of what we do seems like its just being thrown into a vacuum. But then again, as I said before there are the moments where the existence of the show creeps into real life.
My last post talked about acting, and in it I mentioned the two times I appeared on the show as one half of The Clintons. What I didn’t mention is that my Role as Clinton #1 (or is it 2?) launched me into F-List celebrity status where I party with Kirk Cameron, the cast of Real World: Bangladesh, and others of our ilk. It’s one step above being Sean Mayo and one step below the ShamWow guy, but thats only because of his connections as a former scientologist.
Once, while at a bar, Jon became involved in a conversation with someone he graduated with about Winners. While I always considered Winners to be a show inspired by alcohol, this person said that their pre-Winners ritual was to let the video load to 100% while smoking a joint before watching. Fair enough. When I came over a fourth person joined the conversation by saying:
Person 2: So do you have anything to do with Winners too?
Me: Whats a Winners?
Person 2: You know, the online show, Winners.
At this point the original person we were talking to slapped him in the chest and said loud enough for everyone around us, and then some, to hear:
“Dude, they’re The Clintons. They ONLY FUCK TOGETHER!”
