Like My Johnson
Tuesday, 16. September 2008
There are so many stories to share from the wedding and I have no idea where to start. Nothing compares to hanging out with your best friends for three days, eating amazing food, drinking champagne and making up immature phrases. Rather than try to cram everything into one blog, I will likely blog out a few separate entries.
Because I’m still struggling to find my brain cells, I figured I’d write a blog about how we can find humor in the most inane ways.
At Amy and Andrew’s wedding in 2004, it was referring to York, Maine as Taint, Maine. Again. I never claimed we were mature. But we still laugh about it to this day.
I have to point out that it was THE Sean Lara who came up with the Like My Johnson gem. Sean is one of those super smart people who uses giant words to make jokes. Giant words like: My Johnson.
Anyway, I was not there for it’s inception and only heard a handful of conversations that took place, but it brought us much joy. Sean had finally come to the conclusion that the phrase, “That’s What She Said” was played out and that a proper replacement would be: “Like My Johnson.”
Fuck. I hope this isn’t one of those blogs where you had to be there. If so, I implore you to insert it when a sentence ends that it could fit.
(A brief disclaimer to those who were there. I might have names and exact phrases wrong. Please comment with the other conversations I may have missed).
Rob: “Man, I almost tripped over that mat.”
Sean: Mumbling quickly…”like my johnson”
Rob: “I love how you just slipped that in right there.”
Erin: “Like my Johnson”
Erin: “It smells like something is burning.
Natalie: “Yeah. Like weed.”
Allison: “Ew. Yeah. That’s really stinky.”
Erin: “Like My Johnson.”
Tim: “I got this beer because it’s pretty dark and thick.”
Rob: “Like My Johnson”
At one point during the rehersal dinner, one of Ben’s frineds asked me about my blog and he said, “So, do you blog about things going on in the world? Like, important things?”
Me: Trying to figure out a way to make Dirty Sanchez’s sound important: “Um. You know. If you’re trying to get smarter, I don’t suggest reading my blog.”
I will leave you with an image from the wedding and will post pics over the next few days as I recall certain details.
It provided me a lot of pleasure and fun times.
Laef: “Like My Johnson.”
Because it was college football Saturday, Laef and Rob spent a LOT of time checking their blackberries.
Heather Says:
Hi.
So a few things:
You’ve posted about 15 times since I’ve been here last. I can’t let it go this far again. Check my blog soon, we got a puppy!!!!
2) “That’s What She Said” will never, let me repeat, NEVER, be played out.
Anonymous Says:
To be fair, appending “like my Johnson” to a particular phrase has its roots in Top Gun, as evidenced by the exchange below:
Slider: Goose who’s butt did you kiss to get in here anyway?
Goose: The list is long, but distinguished.
Slider: Yeah, well so is my Johnson.
Not exactly the same, but certainly worth citing.
As for the comment that “that’s what she said” will never, never be played out? Hmmm…like my johnson?
Allison Says:
Heather: Where have you been? And, That’s What She Said IS overplayed! Maybe that’s because Laef waits for me to finish every sentence so he can say it.
Anon: Another great reference. Well done. And, any reference to Top Gun on my blog gets you extra bonus points.
Whitney Says:
That’s what she said is very big right now in Bschool. I don’t think I can usurp it with Like my johnson. However, I think it will be accepted as a nice complement and/or alternative.
I was reading this during my stats class. Interestingly enough, my prof said about 7 things to which I added like my johnson. It made class much more enjoyable (like my johnson).
Allison Says:
Listen. All I’m saying is that dropping a Like My Johnson bomb will really spice things up. Sure, That’s What She Said is funny and works…but, watch what happens when you spice things up. Hours of fun!
And, yes. I heard about 76 things today that made me want to say it.
Erin Says:
Further evidence of “that’s what she said” being played out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLQKsuogUXo
Allison Says:
Erin: Precisely why I have a crush on you. Best show. And best montage EVER. LOVES it.
LiteralDan Says:
You have shined a little light into the dark hole* that I can now tell my life was before today.
I just Stumbled this (and another post) because you are awesome and the world needs to know.
* Like my johnson.
Allison Says:
Dan! See how fun this is?!
brad in eugene Says:
… like my johnson
Allison Says:
at this rate, I should have 100 comments on here!
Jason Bellamy Says:
OK, I was going to make this comment anyway, but now you’ve gone and linked to a clip from The Office and I’m downright confused.
Yes, “That’s what she said…” WAS played out, which exactly why Michael Scott thinks it’s in. But Michael Scott is in and thus has brought back “That’s what she said…” to perhaps make it more potent than ever.
Now you’re not just making a joke, you’re making a joke about a joke. It’s one of those hip retro things — intentionally stupid and cool at the same time. You know, like my Johnson.
Allison Says:
Jason: You are in the Sean and Erin category. Wicked smart and wicked funny. What you said is probably their whole point. Of course I couldn’t word it as awesome as you did.
Ben Hameen Says:
What the fuck? You said that there were more wedding stories on the way, and here we are, a week and a half later and back from the honeymoon, and not one more wedding story has been posted.
That’s it … you’re out of the will.
