Remember a few posts back when I mentioned Andrew Zimmern from Bizarre Foods and how he was deviating from his usual diet of testicles and fat grubs to do a new show? Well, I got an email from Brandon over at the Travel Channel (gee, I hope it was okay to use his real name) basically asking if I'd consider posting a link for a promo to Bizarre World, and would I like some flavored crickets.
Hell yeah, of course I would (post a link, that is). I'm such a sucker for a little flattery and recognition. Plus, I love Andrew Zimmern, and my son thinks it's the coolest show ever.
When I told Libby about this, her response was:
Wow-- you are even more awesome than I thought. Now I want even more to be just like you. Tell Brandon that if the Travel Channel will send you somewhere cool I will tape myself eating rhinoceros balls. I would do anything to show my admiration for you.
Then she started into some Bette Midler and really, it got a little awkward.
Okay, so here's a link to the video promo:

I'd like to think that Brandon found me because I am creating such a BUZZ here in the blogosphere, but in reality I'm sure he googled Zimmern to see who was writing about him. FYI, if you send me something really cool I'll give it away here in a contest. My readers seem to prefer penis-shaped items.
I wonder if anyone would contact me if I mentioned how much I love those new four-door JEEP WRANGLERS.

Previous post deleted cuz I didn't check my spelling. What I meant to write was, Grandma gets high on betel nut and chewing tobacco...who knew?
That is awesome. I love his show.
For some reason it reminded me of when my kids were young. One had a key chain collection, one a business card collection. When someone asked my daughter what she collected she responded with 'dollars'.
Maybe you should aim higher. Though a new car would always be nice.
Damn Girl! You're like a celebrity and shit! I'd like some new shoes. Boots....Nice boots. How can we get someone to give you those to give me???
Please let me know when the penis shaped pen contest starts.
Testicles and fat grubs? I was 18 before I tried cream cheese. I won't live long enough to muster the courage for that stuff.
Are you trying to tell me I am the wind beneath your wings?
hehehe my ex wifes cooking would have him running for cover!
Most excellent idea and tip. Who knew!
Gotta run now and talk up some stuff, hummmm a new car would be nice.....
You're kind of a big deal.
I once posted about 5 hour energy shots, and got an email from a guy that worked for a competitor. I was hoping he'd send me some free stuff, but all he wanted was for me to take a stupid survey, and I'd never even tried their product. Oh well, not sure I'd eat animal balls even if Andrew Zimmern showed up at my door with them personally. Although, I would enjoy watching HIM eat them.
Now that you're famous, how many more degrees of separation will I have to go through to get to Kevin Bacon?
Yeah, Kim, like Summer said, you are kind of a big deal. You'd be even BIGGER if you chow down on LARGE, VEINY rhino balls with Libby and post a video clip for all the fans here.
Do it!!
So did you accept the crickets? Let me know how disgusting they are, I can't wait.
Wait, so all you have to do is mention someone famous in your blog and they ask you to do things for them???
Hmmm...
Well, I'm off to blog about Harry Connick Jr. Byeeeee!
