\nHumor: Ran into one of the firemen who had been through my apartment in the first flush of emergency. I met him later that first night out on the sidewalk, when I was hysterical with sobs. So I just ran into him at the Dunkin Donuts. He asked me how I was doing, if I found my cat (these people are killing me). We chatted. He was a big burly guy. He suddenly got shy, and I could tell he wanted to say something else to me, but … maybe it would be inappropriate? You know, he had been hanging out in my apartment while I was not there. (I am only putting this together after speaking to him.) He decided to take the leap and said, “I love Elvis too.” I didn’t know what he was talking about since I hadn’t said one word about Elvis in our conversation (shocking, I realize) … and then it dawned on me that he had probably taken in my King Creole poster from Kent Adamson, and my Elvis coffee table book, and the stack of Elvis DVDs next to my TV. <\/p>\n
\n \n \n I started laughing so hard. I was embarrassed. “He’s great, right?” I said to fireman. “I grew up listening to the guy,” said Awesome Fireman. “And my aunts were crazy over him.” Of course they were.<\/p>\n Odie<\/strong> Aw, I thought this was going to turn rated X! But now I’m going through my house taking out anything a fireman can use against me. DeAnna<\/strong> I love this so much. Elvis brings people together! Sheila<\/strong> rated X – hahahahahahaha Sheila<\/strong> Odie – I was glad he didn’t mention a certain object on my bureau. Sheila<\/strong> De – I know, and he got shy – but he HAD to say something. hysterical!! Sheila<\/strong> Also – that in the middle of an emergency, he’s downloading all of that information into his brain. Odie<\/strong> That’s where I thought this was going–late night Cinemax. Burly fireman, woman who needs comfort, donuts, lost cat. It screams “first five minutes of a porno!” Sheila<\/strong> My whole life is the first five minutes of a porno. Kent<\/strong> Now combined with the Mystic powers of the big E. Tom<\/strong> You should write songs. You write like Springsteen did before he lost it. Liz<\/strong> ADORE Sheila<\/strong> Tom – that was the best compliment ever. Don<\/strong> You have to marry him now. Sheila<\/strong> Don – I agree. Don<\/strong> Remember in POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE, when Meryl says to the doc who pumped her stomach: “I can’t wait to tell people how me met. It’s just like VALLEY OF THE DOLLS.” In your case, it’s just like TOWERING INFERNO. Don<\/strong> And you two will always have your song: HUNKA HUNKA BURNING LOVE. Kappy<\/strong> Rated X? No. This one is rated E. E for Elvis. Liz<\/strong> Tom, Sheila IS a Springsteen song: “…left Jainie on a street in Piscataway, she was writing letters to Presley to come get her someday.” Names and locations have been changed to protect the innocent. Sean<\/strong> i can’t remember – are you dating anyone? maybe he was trying to ask you out! Odie<\/strong> Sheila and the Fireman sounds like an Elvis movie. I can hear Elvis singing “Sheila, Oh Sheila. You’re the one flame I will not put out…” Joe<\/strong> The Meet Cute in the next romantic comedy. Jon Hamm as Fireman and Rebecca Hall as Cat Woman. Craig<\/strong> Rom-com trailer voice: “Sheila O’Malley…is about to discover…some fires…can’t be put out!” Ian<\/strong> \u200e*cue “Solsbury Hill”* Erik<\/strong> I am totally ‘shipping you and the fireman. Vanwall<\/strong> The song goes on, a little more every day, it seems. Sheila<\/strong> Maybe Elvis’ late jaunty number “I Can Help” can roll over the end credits. Kerry<\/strong> I love every single word of this thread I am proud to present a conversation had yesterday on my Facebook page.
