I am turgid with desire...

Since we're in a mood to fool around, I want to talk about something that's been on my mind, namely a poster calling hirself "I am a celebrity, cut off my face and wear it as a mask".

Aren't you dying to know?

I'm sure, if you're like me, you've heard the toneless voice of consensual reality whispering that "I am a celebrity, cut off my face and wear it as a mask" is probably some schmoe much like yourself, albeit with an apparent ironic grudge against popular culture, or possibly Warren Ellis, but don't listen to it. We must live in hope if we are to be free.

"I am a celebrity, cut off my face and wear it as a mask" has claimed to be Kenny G, but ze was obviously kidding. On the other hand, I have a gut feeling that "I am a celebrity, cut off my face and wear it as a mask" is Will Wheaton. I can't explain this, and I can offer no rationale. But as you, Constant Reader, are no doubt aware, my gut feelings are closely tied to what I had for lunch and so not to be trusted, necessarily. Wouldn't it be awesome if "I am a celebrity, cut off my face and wear it as a mask" were actually Benicio Del Torro? Or former Designing Woman Annie Potts?

Let's see if we can suss hir out, shall we? Who could ze be? What leading questions could we ask? Help me construct a rhetorical labrynth that will force "I am a celebrity, cut off my face and wear it as a mask" to render up hir secrets and get us all associate producer gigs on hir next movie.

What leading questions could we ask?

Ooo, oo, I know! How about:

So, I am a celebrity, cut off my face ad wear it as a mask, - which celebrity are you... really?

Or is that a bit too obvious... dya think?

No offence, Jub, but you're kind of stupid.

Anyway, I tried that, that's where I got the "Kenny G" thing, but I don't believe it.

has it had any plastic surgery? has it always longed to be on the other side of the camera? does it have a backup plan to be a pediatrician once its looks fade?

Ibis, I'm not shooting you down, I'm just not clear on something. How will that help us determine I ama celebrity, cut off my face and wear it as a mask's true identity?

Has anyone ever noticed that if you select that Barbesmiley gif, it frowns?

I thought we were playing 20 questions. is it Bob Saget?

Definitely not Will Wheaton. He would never defect from Fark.com. It's just not the Will Wheaton way.

Ooh, does Bob Saget want to be a pediatrician? Dishy!

I can't believe you chilly bastards let this very relavent & important convo sink to page two when we are still so far from naming the luminary in our midst. Don't you people care?

I think it's a music celebrity. Maybe it's Thom Yorke, or that guy from Primal Scream.

What kind of douche spells "Tom" with an "h"? God, fuck these rock people!

you would just like that, now wouldn't you!

I'm going to write a story about a crazed perverted stalker who wears outrageously large women's underpants as a cape and hood combo. and I will name him massykr!

One of the Queer Eye guys is called Thom Felicia.

I had a professor in college named Thom too.

You know, for years I thought you actually pronounced the 'h' in Thom... I still do it... it makes it a much cooler name really...

Yeah, very "Conan".

'...Celebrity...' is obviously Ronnie Corbett. So, Ron, what was it like working with Alice Cooper on that Sky ad?

I am dissapointed to discover that the title of this thread isn't actually "I am turgid with disease" as I'd first thought.

Another clue! 'I'm a celebrity' really hates the Black Eyed Peas.
