Like some sort of disturbing “phantom limb” phenomena, it just keeps itching and itching--and the “Adrian! I just saw a CELEBRITY!" letters? They arrive and arrive and arrive. And except for all of those readers I’ve ignored over the years, I never ignore a reader, so let’s do this quickly and get it over with, once and for bloody all…
“Dear Adrian, I saw David Lynch smoking with a bunch of folks outside Dahlia Lounge. Guess he was there for dinner after the thing at Cinerama.” –B. Mathew.
“Dear B. Mathew, Smoking kills.” –-Adrian
“PS--Have you ever been to that old Twin Peaks dinner up in North Bend or wherever? The one they featured in the series? Coffee and cherry pie? What a fucking rip-off. They changed the name to “Tweedy’s” (WTF?), and decorated it with cheesy velvet oil paintings and a bizarre and a rather disturbing display of stuffed toy “Tweety Birds” (not, indeed, “TweeDy Birds”, the big tards) that they’ve stapled, glued, and otherwise fastened somehow to every wall. And almost $10 for a burger?! A sin, I tell you. A fucking sin. I think I’m gonna buy that place and turn it into Adrian’s Super-Sexy Extra-Hot Twin Peaks Memorial Museum….remodel it to look just like it did in the show, and fill it full of wax renderings of dead Laura Palmers wrapped in plastic. Or maybe I’ll just burn it down in a rage. At this point, anything’s possible.”
“Adrian--What?! Was I the only one who saw Mary K. Letourneau and her much younger lover at The New York Dolls show?---Bill
“Darling Bill, Yes! You were. But did you know that my hairstylist’s boyfriend is in the band that opened for The New York Dolls that night? The ‘Greatest Hits’ they are called? Well. They‘re pretty hot. So is my hair these days. I’m just saying.”---Adrian
“Dear Adrian, I was in Seattle visiting my girlfriend Jill, who is currently starring in the WE channel's 'Dirty Dancing'. She was working at the Italian Restaurant 'That's Amore', when my old boss Conan O'Brien came in to pick up pizzas. I wrote for 'Late Night' in 1996 until Mark Henry, the world's strongest man, dropped me from the world's biggest bowl of chili, severely injuring my back. Conan ordered ninety dollars of Italian pies, thanked my girlfriend, and then left without tipping. I brought the man orange juice every morning for six months, never spiking it. Times change, but beware the O'Briens!”--Cheers, Aja West - Mackrosoft CEO
“Dear Aja, My, that was a very long letter.” –Adrian
“Adrian, my dear...there is no way that you would ever have lost your virginity to a SHE. Thanks for my two columns of fame.”---“Emelio” (A cherry-poppin’ possible relative of Evel Kneivel)
“Dear ‘Emelio’, I have no idea what you’re talking about. But, hey: we’ll always not have Paris.” --Adrian
“Dear Adrian, I saw Jeremy Piven at Asami, the Japanese restaurant next to Uwajumia! Does he have a bald spot in the back of his head? What's he filming here? Or is he on leave from a Vancouver shoot? I swear it was him.”---PlaneDanna
“Dear PlaneDanna, The answers to your questions, respectively, are as follows: Yes, Maybe, Only time will tell, and SHAZAM! Although their really was no fourth question. SHAZAM anyway. Thank you.” ---Adrian
“PS---Who the hell is Jeremy Piven?”
