I heart the Coen Brothers
Howdy carrot tops!
Is there such thing as clean coal? Hmmm. Once again it all comes down to advertising. If I place the word “green” in front of the word formaldehyde does it magically transform it into a healthy substance? What if I write the word formaldehyde in green letters? Will the color fool you into thinking that formaldehyde has medicinal qualities? It is wrong that in the United States of America we can be so misled by all this green washing manipulation. Once again, the responsibility to translate the madness is on us. We are constantly bombarded with lies and it effects our health. “Clean”? There is no eco-friendly alternative when coal is involved.
Enter the fabulous Coen Brothers. These groovy chaps directed a funny new commercial for The Reality Coalition (earth rockstar Al Gore’s latest and greatest) debunking the idea. I love the Coen Brothers! In fact, I have a ridiculous Joel Coen story that I can’t believe I’m about to share with you. Let the blushing begin.
Years ago, after they won for Fargo, I was at a cocktail party at Joel and Francis McDormand’s apartment in NYC. Don’t ask how I got there, I’m still not sure. At the time I was an unemployed actress socializing with a set way cooler than me. After a few too many I needed to use the lou. I remember loving the paint colors they had chosen for the bathroom walls. Burnt terricotta, very chic. I marveled with pride at their shower curtain. We had the same one, a plastic gold fish print. Then I noticed it…my heart stopped…there, above my head, was the oscar…
Long story short. I licked it.
Peace & Obama’s plan for alternative energy,
Kris

I just read this post to my husband. He looked at me with amusement afterwards:
“She licked the Oscar?”
“She licked the Oscar.”
“And she thinks she was the first?”
Great story! :)

DOH! I never thought about THAT. Hmmm. No wonder I got that weird lip thing. Kidding!

You LICKED it? That can’t be sanitary…But only you, Kris, only you. ;)
Well, I was not expecting the story to go there, but what the hell was the oscar doing in the bathroom?? That’s asking for the oscar to be licked. I’m sure they have crazy friends too, so I bet some messed up shit has happened to that oscar. I could take this comment to a terrible place, but I’m gonna stop myself. I’m just gonna say that I’m really glad you did an awesome cleanse that hopefully got out ALL your toxins.
hahaha ;)
Love ya Kris! You live up to your Crazy Sexy title! Well, Crazy Sexy with a touch of Freak, but that’s why we love you!
You are hysterical.
Absolutely, positively a Crazy Sexy move if ever there was one! How many drinks did you have first?? You’re a doll! I must remember to remove things I don’t want “handled” from my powder room =)
Hilarious! you crack me up : ) Thanks for sharing
You licked Oscar’s what? I love your frankness! I would have expected a camera but I haven’t seen anything on utube

that is the best Sunday morning laugh I’ve ever had. Thank you for starting my happy day. You are one of a kind! xox
Hi, how are you doing these days? My birthday was a couple of days ago. Had a good one. I have had an “affliction” myself. Peace to you, thanks!!!!!!!!!
Wanted to hear the long story! I can’t guarantee I wouldn’t have practiced my “acceptance speech”. Would be a good idea to check for wires, though. You don’t want an alarm sending people into the loo with you!
