No, a Diet Coke is too youngish. Just remove your jacket and bring along a makeshift opium pipe . . .

"Go away, I am lounging . . ."

Team Napoli track suit?

Does this mean you're the winner?! Or will there be a Today show walk-off with that other guy?

I always imagined you lounging in your Rubinacci dinner jacket with your polished John Lobbs.

In all seriousness, you're competing against DanT. He's going to show up in shorts, some horsebit loafer, and some shirt with the sleeves rolled up. You need to show your fun side.

Maybe they're worried that your "screen" clothes will be too delicate and precious for whatever else they've got planned.

Or, more likely, they're worried that you're worried about your precious stage clothes. Did you tell them about your $5000 jackets?

Also, remember this will be the most recorded show in the history of SF. Do the forum proud.

LK, I could never pull this off. I know you could, which makes me sad about being me.

I think the lounging is to be done before going on stage, but I'm not sure.

No, we're all appearing, and we were each asked to wear two different outfits. However, there is going to be some sort of walk-off. I didn't sign up for that sort of thing, but here I am. I don't think they know I'm child-sized.

'Fun'? That's like smiling, right?

Should I flash a secret sign? If I can, I will mention 'iGent' in conversation--that'll show the Wikipedia folks what's what.

Something like this?:

I'd really like to thank iammatt for inspiring me. I've always looked up to him. I also want to thank my wonderful parents, lovely wife, and vox.

Can someone DVR this and then post it to YouTube so that those of us without TVs can revel in Mafoo's glory?

Pretend that you found another pair of Aldens that you'd forgotten about in the back of your closet and you get to retake the picture.
