Up until that point, I had never considered having one. Didn't ever cross my mind. I always say that I would never join a club that would have someone like me as a member.
However, Slim People, if a monkey has a star and Slim Man doesn't, what does that say? Some hairy baboon gets in and Mr. Man is left out?
What if I'm strolling the sidewalks of Palms Springs one day with my girls (the nieces) and they say, "Uncle Slimmy, some stupid ape has a star. How come you don't?"
What do I say?
As my ASS reared up, I started thinking...
Even if I do get nominated and get a Slim star on the Walk of Stars, what would that be like?
Some tourist might inadvertently squirt chewing tobacco juice on my name. Pigeons might be pooping on my moniker. What if during the Gay Pride Parade some marching band member hocks a wad of gum and it ends up on the letter "N" so instead of saying Slim Man, it says...
Slim Ma.
And... thirty years from now, what difference will it make?
In 2054, when people are strolling the streets of Palm Springs in HazMat suits because the sun has become so hot that folks are afraid their hair might spontaneously combust, will they be pointing at my star and saying...
"Slim Ma. Who's that?"
So I called Bobbi Taylor back and told her I would...monkey around with the idea.
Keep smiling, Slim Folks. And keep in touch.
It's all about love.
Who loves ya?
Uncle Slimmy
PS: Here's a video for my recipe for...Slim Manicotti! Manicotti stuffed with shrimp and scallops. It takes a little time, but it's well worth the effort! You can also put this sauce over rice or pasta. She's a-so nice!
