AKA, Reason #1 for the End of Bo-Em:
He is not surprised. He is not scared. He is not standing agape at Britney’s performance at the VMAs. Nope. He is Baby Button Eyes and he looks this way all the time. He is The Overlord. And you just never know if he’s lurking around the next corner, plotting how to make your life impossible at Bo-Em.
And no — no, not Bo-heem, dude. Bo-EM. (Gah. I HATE THAT! That right there is, like, Reason #Something!)
But you must look at this face. I know it’s hard. But you must. I want you to get to know him. Size him up. Try. It’s hard because of the inscrutable button eyes, but just climb into the mania — or whatever it is — that’s there. Because we’ll be talking about ole Baby Button Eyes. Soon.
Oh, yes, we will.
Those eyes are freaking me out! There is something off there…”mania” seems like a good word to me.
I am sorry you had to know him, and deal with him, and for all of it.
I don’t want to get to know him; I want to kick him in the shins.
(To be clear: I’m half his size so it wouldn’t hurt him. It’d just make me feel better.)
Just how little ARE you, Kate P? I’m 5’4″ and Baby Button Eyes and I stand eye to eye.
For a feller, he is terribly wee. You could definitely hurt him, I think.
And he positively cowers when my tall hunky MB comes ’round.
Is he the long-lost brother of that runaway bride girl? ‘Cuz she has the googly-eyes too… Hmmm…
There should REALLY be a procedure to correct that by now.
Oh, O.K., I was thinking of him as a BIG jerk. Just not that way, huh? I’m barely over 5′ myself.
And I’m glad he cowers when your MB comes around. He SHOULD cower!
I doubt hyperthyroidism (what my mom claims that runaway bride woman has) is what’s making Overlord such a meanie.
And I AM NOT KIDDING, you guys. His eyes are ALWAYS like that. To the point where other people mention it. It’s like he’s always, “RAAAAAAAAAAAA!” trying to scare you.
I cannot continue to be this freaked out on a daily basis,
Dan Fouts’ evil mini-twin is on the loose!
Tracey, if he acts half as creepy as he looks, I am sorry you had to cross his path.
NF — Now, do not be dissin’ my one-time football crush man Dan Fouts! No WAY he looks like Baby Button Eyes.
He looks like a serial killer. Not the quiet, he-seemed-nice kind of serial killer. The psycho, oooh-yeah-we-figured-he-was-one kind of serial killer.
