“We’re kind of like the mock turtleneck of boy bands”
August 7th, 2007
Do I always look this disgusted? Naturally? What a gift!
These studs are the cast of Vh1’s Mission: Man Band, which premiered last night. They (Bryan Abrams from Color Me Badd, Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees, Rich Cronin from LFO, and Chris Kirkpatrick from ‘N Sync) stopped by EW.com to get an exclusive tutorial on what it’s like to work in a cubicle. The answer: YouTube-centric, peanut butter-banana-y, and — see above — often filled with dread.
I know we make fun of turtlenecks in the video but I could use one right now. This heat blows. Please let it be January so I can wear the same stretched-out huggable wooly black one with the hole in the left armpit every day. I miss sending people the message with my eyes that there is a totally different shirt underneath the turtleneck than the one I wore the previous day. Of course there is. I didn’t just pull on the same 1-2 shirt combo straight out of the shower. That would be gross. Also, really cozy.

“WHY? You were complimenting them!”
I love that you are hanging out with people who used to be really famous and are still casually hilarious.

i must say, i am a bit disappointed that you did not find a washed up member of 2GE+HER. They totally made my senior year of high school. U + Me = Us.

Hahahaha. A bunch of my friends worked on that show. I almost did too, actually, but my unemployment was too precious at the time to be compromised by work.

shain, if you think this is stalking, just wait till you get home.

More stalking! (In the tone of “More touching!” from AD, for Blythe’s sake)
Carlytron that doesn’t surprise me. You probably made the right choice… having to be anywhere in the vicinity of that blonde manager piece of work from the trailer would not be fun. Those guys were really nice though AND they totally indulged (me) by eating my banana-flavored Elvis Reese’s.
Bobby, I think I should have pursued the “how are you not sure the girls were wearing Abercrombie” line of questioning further… that’s a pretty CRUCIAL detail as far as the theme of the song.
Riggity: CAL-CU-LUS! Wow, you really need to meet my former roommate. You’re even the same age, AND midwestern.
