Nip/Tuck + MJ = Crazy 4Eva

By now the entire universe knows that Michael Jackson is no more.  R.I.P. Michael.  Have a moment of silence, shed a tear, but then, most normal people would move on.   But since when have we ever pretended that Nip/Tuck was anything resembling normal?

MJ's death has hit her really hard and is apparently really personal.  No, she did not know the man, nor really listen to any of his music until his passing.  But, once again, everything is about her.  

June 25 is now a date seaered into my brain because Nip/Tuck insists on bringing it, and MJ up at least five times a day EVERY SINGLE DAY.  Has anyone heard the latest on MJ?  Does anyone else have "Billie Jean" stuck in their head and realize what a truly deep song that is?  Did anyone else watch the BET awards 3 times in a row?  Mind you, this is an almost 60-year old white woman.  

And should we dare, like brave Neighbor did, to bring up MJ, be prepared to face the wrath of NIp/Tuck.  Nip/Tuck was going on her usual rant about how she can't believe MJ's family behaving like vultures descending upon his home and clearing out his stuff.  Neighbor dared to try to provide an alternate explanation - perhaps they were trying to get to it before the public did, etc.  WRONG ANSWER.  

The crazy that is Nip/Tuck turns to Neighbor and SCREAMS, "You're wrong!  you don't know what it's like!! what it's like to have family that comes and does this?  You take it back right now!!!"  

To which Neighbor responds, "I thought we were talking about Michael Jackson."  She then turns to me, widens her eyes and mouths Craaaaazy!  Let's have lunch NOW.

(Clearly Nip/Tuck has personal issues that MJ's passing is bringing back to the surface.  But then again, it seems like EVERYTHING brings them back to the surface.  And while I feel bad that she has issues, GO GET SOME HELP and don't bring it to the workplace lady!)

So off we go.  We spend all lunch laughing at Nip/Tuck and her bizarre MJ obsession.  When we get back to our cubes, there's an email from Nip/Tuck in my inbox.  I hear snorts of laughter all around me.  Curious I open it.  I see that it's sent to everyone and their mama in our company.  Even the CEO.  It's very professional as you can see:

FYI, if you are interested or know others who might be interested in submitting some words about Michael Jackson’s passing, which will be used in the “Podunk Town Today” newspaper.

Nip/Tuck 

W-O-W.  Sometimes there are just no words to describe the looney that is Nip/Tuck.  It's her world and we're just living in it.
