Dear Danny McBride



We met in The Foot Fist Way, but I had a boyfriend back then. I saw you again in Tropic Thunder, but I thought we'd just be friends, because back in Tropic Thunder I was still crushing on Steve Coogan.

But then you stole every scene in Pineapple Express, and singlehandedly kept me from being disappointed in a movie I was extremely excited to see, and now that you've just blown my mind with the best premium cable comedy to ever be on premium cable, I really want to end the heretofore platonic nature of our relationship.

I know, Danny. You are just going to say that Clover pretty much universally likes chubby comedy dudes. And yes, I've loved a fat funny dude before, almost sociopathically I love fat funny dudes, but you are special. You make humilition so hilarious and comedy so tragic. There have been similar dudes before you, but I have never felt so sad and pants-pissy all at once. It's next level type shit. You are a master of the very essence of comedy, and I am in awe of you.

If by any chance you walk around LA in such devastatingly appealing clothing as hoodies and converse, I will probably just marry you or rape you on the spot. Or both. I feel like we possibly live near each other, so FYI, I drink a lot at the Griffin. And Sgt. Recruiter. And El Prado. And the El Torito in Santa Monica. Okay, I just drink a lot. Let's meet up.

xoxo,
Clover

So to truly be the object of your lust, I have to put on like 50 pounds, huh?

El torito in santa monica? And you never call?!??!

In other news, Danny McBride is a cool dude. If I had known your love for him I would have had a better in than, "I know someone else named Danny Mcbride, weird."

fail.

G- I will love you until the day you tell me that you have a crush on Larry the Cable Guy.

You know in hipster land USA (Bushwick/Bed/Stuy), chubby chic is rapidly eclipsing heroin chic. Seriously, in Brooklyn, bacon (the food) is the new Radiohead. I know you know exactly what I mean by that.
