I met a fellow recently who was charming and attractive and a total fanboy of various degrees and persuasions. Since I’m always on the lookout for potential Fanboys of the Month, I pitched the idea to him. He seemed open to it, even a little excited, until I got to the part involving the whole “take your clothes off” thing. My new friend smiled and said, “Look buddy, I don’t take my clothes off for anyone, I don’t care if it is ‘artistic.’” To which I replied, “It’s got nothing to do with art. It’s a journey that you go on.”
Immediately, we both realized that consciously or not, he quoted Janice from The Muppets Take Manhattan at me, and I quoted Madonna from Truth or Dare right back at him. Truly, a meeting of the minds.
My useless pop culture knowledge impressed him, however, and he promised to think about the whole “take your clothes off” thing. In exchange, I’m honoring Janice with this week’s Quote of the Week. We’ll do her similar riff from The Great Muppet Caper another time.
“Look buddy, I don’t take my clothes off for anyone, I don’t care if it is ‘artistic.’”
-Janice, The Muppets Take Manhattan
I loved that scene! Everyone quiets down and she just rambles on about taking her clothes off and everyone just stares at her. That’s, like, the story of my life. You know…

Oh, Janice, your wisdom is neverending. “I’ll trade with anyone who’s got a jacuzzi!”
