The Breakout Star of New York Fashion Week Is… Jim Carrey?

BY TOM PHILIP

We live in a truly bizarre era.

New York Fashion Week is in full swing, which means that, moreso than usual, SoHo is a hellscape of hot, well-dressed people who consider $13 cocktails their “party drink” of choice. Celebrities (and thereabouts) turn out in droves for the occasion. One of those A-Listers this year? Jim Carrey, who made waves last night in a bizarre, rambling statement that begs two questions:

Who the hell made Jim Carrey go to Fashion Week? And

Can we have a little bit of whatever he’s on?

Dear Mr. Kerin,

It was brought to my attention by your neighbor, John Flink, that you have two garden gnomes on your front lawn that that were not approved by the HOA before installation. Please adhere to the guidelines (see Appropriate Lawn Decor on page 3) and remove them within five business days, or you will be fined.

Ellis Hills is a beautiful neighborhood, and we keep it that way by sticking to these rules!

Thanks!

Linda Hoyt, HOA President

 Dear Mr. Kerin,

Mr. Flink emailed me this afternoon and informed me that there are now five gnomes on your front lawn. He also said that they are all facing his house.

 I don’t know three extra gnomes showed up (unless they’re breeding LOL), or why they are now facing his house. But please be advised that you are now in violation of our Allowed Quantities of Lawn Decor rule (see page 7).

You have four days until you are fined. Please address this issue ASAP.

Thanks!

Linda Hoyt, HOA President

Dear Mr. Kerin,

I drove by your house this morning on the way to drop my children off at school and saw your lawn. There are now over a dozen garden gnomes in your yard, all facing Mr. Flink’s house. A few of these have been placed in sexually suggestive positions. I do not think garden gnomes come in these positions, which means that someone (I’m not saying you) placed them as such. Regardless, they violate the board’s rule on Appropriate Lawn Décor Positions on page 9.

Mr. Henrys, you have three days left to comply with the board’s rules, or you will be fined.

Are you getting these emails?

Thanks!

Dear Mr. Kerin,

I was emailed a picture of your lawn this morning by your neighbor John Flink, and was surprised to find that there are now close to thirty gnomes in your lawn. Not only are they all staring directly at his house, they are now also sexually explicit. After a quick Yahoo search, I could not find any store that sold such “X rated” gnomes. This gives me the impression that you made them yourself.

Mr. Kerin, I don’t know where you’re getting the time or the money to create these monstrosities, but they will not be tolerated. We have children in this neighborhood.

Please be advised that you have two days left before incurring fines.

FYI you are now also in violation of our Sexually Explicit Lawn Décor rule on page 17. Until today, I was not aware this rule even existed.

Thanks!

Linda Hoyt, HOA President

Dear Mr. Kerin,

I was woken up by a phone call from John Flink at 6AM this morning. He was threatening to call the police. We have never had the police called in this neighborhood. Not even once. I calmed him down and went over to see what the problem was.

Mr. Kerin, the only time I’ve ever seen an orgy was in the movie Caligula but the scene your gnomes depict on your front lawn makes Caligula look PG. The gnomes are in positions I haven’t ever even imagined, and even if I could have imagined them, I wouldn’t have done so with gnomes! 

There are over one hundred of them. I could barely see any grass through the limbs and appendages of the disgusting little men.

One gnome in particular is wearing a shirt that says “John Flink” on it and it is wearing a horse mask. Two other gnomes are treating him like a horse.

This is in direct violation of an HOA rule that the HOA just decided to make. Please see Sexually Explicit Depictions of Neighbors as Lawn Decor in the new edition of the HOA guidelines attached as a PDF.

You have until tomorrow, Mr. Kerin. Also, John Flink has called a lawyer.

Thanks!

Linda Hoyt, HOA President

Dear Mr. Kerin,

I don’t know how you did it, but thank you for removing all of the gnomes. I’m glad we could avoid getting the authorities involved!

Since you managed to do it before five business days, there will be no fine, just a warning.

As a reminder, please do not place any decorations in your yard without direct approval from the board.

Thanks!

Dear Mr. Kerin,

It was just brought to my attention that there is a bright pink decorative flamingo in the middle of your front lawn.

I have also been informed that this lawn flamingo is wearing a thong.

If you do not remove this flamingo within five business days, expect a follow up from Kelly Lawson, as she is taking over as HOA President. As of today I have resigned.

Thanks!

You will need:

1 loaf Rhodes Bread dough, thawed to room temperature

2 Tablespoons melted butter

¾ tsp Italian seasoning (or you can use ¼ tsp oregano & ½ tsp parsley flakes)

¼ tsp seasoned salt

4 ounces sliced pepperoni

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

Spray counter or surface with non-stick cooking spray.  Roll dough out to a  12 X 18 inch rectangle.

In a small bowl, combine melted butter with seasonings. Brush mixture on to dough, reserving a small amount to brush to top later.

Arrange pepperoni on top of dough and butter/seasoning mixture.

Sprinkle grated cheese on top of pepperoni.

Begin rolling with the long side.  Continue rolling until it is all rolled up.  Tuck ends under.

Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet.  I prefer to use parchment paper.  It won’t stick and it makes cleanup so easy.  Brush the top with remaining butter mixture.  With a sharp knife cut several slices in the top to vent.  Cover with sprayed plasstic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.

Remove plastic wrap and Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.

This is rape culture.

This is white male privilege.

This is injustice.

You mean this is the end? I thought we’d kinda stick together for truth, justice, and the American way. What Lord called us - the Justice Riders.

Well… it was just a notion

All I can think of is this:

new fad? new fad.
