Monkey See, Monkey Die

Piz shakes the ostensible Ed Argent's hand, telling him he was awesome. He looks like an extra from the big bar scene in Thelma And Louise, which is probably all you need to know about him. ["He's a lot beefier than Ted Nugent, anyway -- too many potatoes with his squirrel and muskrat, perhaps." -- Wing Chun] As they come out of the booth, Veronica, wearing a Zeta Theta Beta sweatshirt, jumps up and down and squeals that she's his biggest fan, and even joined the NRA "after they covered [him] in Guns magazine." Heh. Parker and Mac are present and besweatshirted as well, and Parker gets into the act as easily as Veronica did, but Mac has to steel herself for a moment before standing and saying that the Second Amendment is her favorite. Heh, again. And there's a joke about the guy's sleeveless vest in there somewhere, but I'd rather not dwell on that subject, so let's move on. Anyway, Veronica holds up another sweatshirt and asks if they could get him to wear it for a picture for their "celebrity wall." Argent consents, but doesn't notice that Mac and Veronica slyly succeed at some sweatshirt switcheroo. (What am I on today?) Anyway, the new sweatshirt reads "Meat Is Murder," and Parker snaps a picture as Argent smarmily offers to stop by the sorority house later. Veronica: "I think the Theta Betas would really enjoy that!" Hee.

Sometime later, Darla's friend with the assy hair catches Veronica and shows her the picture in the newspaper, telling her that she and Mac are in. He hands her a slip of paper and tells her to be at the address written on it at 3. Veronica looks at it and smiles...

...and then Darla lets Veronica and Mac into a room; Assy Hair is there as well. Darla says that they want Mac and Veronica to join their anti-fur campaign, and Assy Hair gives them each a sign, one reading "No" and the other reading "Fur." As Darla futzes with a camera on a tripod, she tells Mac and Veronica to go ahead and "take them off." Veronica asks what she means, but the subtle looks on her and Mac's faces indicate that, on some visceral level, they knows what Darla's talking about. But Assy Hair verbalizes it: "Your clothes. For the calendar." At their abject terror, he asks if they're committed, and shows them a picture on the computer of himself wearing nothing but a "No Fur" sign over his crotch. So if self-photography habits are any indication, he's the complete opposite of Dick. Also, speaking of being committed, this is a long way to go for a joke. Hats off, but that's as far as I'm willing to take it. Veronica and Mac gape their way into the commercial break.
