&lt;p&gt;I got in a “twitter war” with Alex Koll recently, because he took my avatar, and that’s FUCKED UP. He whipped my ass, by the by, with these two animated gifs. Didn’t think the world should go without seeing ‘em.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks to the new Facebook feature where, when someone messages you, it shows you every message you&amp;#8217;ve ever sent them, I end up skipping down memory lane a lot. Just kidding. It barely ever happens. HOWEVER, today I did happen to find this conversation from&amp;#8230; oh, five years ago, between me and &lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/wobblyh" target="_blank"&gt;my friend Donny&lt;/a&gt;. At the time, he was a competitive college tennis player whose career as a student was about to end. He had one tournament left. for which there would be a number of spectators. Apparently, I was trying to get him to do some fun TENNIS PRANKS during his last game and I sent him some ideas:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EMILY: ok, one round you should yell &amp;#8220;fore&amp;#8221; after every time you hit it. like golf.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;another round you should say &amp;#8220;yes&amp;#8221; after each time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;another round you should just shout random words every time. examples/suggestions: &amp;#8220;tomato. potato. pepper. popper. pickle. tingle. rascal. thing. thong. cisco.&amp;#8221; word association.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;ok that&amp;#8217;s all i got. what do you think.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His response:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DONNY: &lt;span&gt;I think these are very funny ideas. If I yelled &amp;#8220;fore&amp;#8221; everytime after i hit a ball, that means I would yell &amp;#8220;fore&amp;#8221; at least a thousand times throughout one match. If I said tomato, potato, pepper or pickle, the coach would have a talk with me after the match, and suggest counseling. He&amp;#8217;d think my mind is not on the match, but on a grocery list.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;I also want to scotchtape a couple of batteries to my arm. Eventually my opponent will notice batteries taped to my body, because when I am losing, I&amp;#8217;ll change the batteries, look him in the eye and say &amp;#8220;just charging up&amp;#8221;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;I also want spurs on the back of my tennis shoes. A flask to drink my water from. And put speakers in my tennis racquet, so every time I hit the ball, the sound of a shotgun is heard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;And my final response:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;EMILY: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ok i was with you until the speaker thing and now i think that you are just not considering any of these as plausible. that is disappointing to me, donny. you don&amp;#8217;t have to be strict about the fores&amp;#8230; you could just do it ten times in a row and that would be enough. and i don&amp;#8217;t think it would be thousands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;what do you really want to yell, donny? what&amp;#8217;s inside of you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;HE NEVER DID ANY OF THEM!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://emilyheller.tumblr.com/post/22162888984</link><guid>http://emilyheller.tumblr.com/post/22162888984</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 May 2012 10:00:00 -0400</pubDate><category>comedy</category><category>tennis</category><category>donny divanian</category></item><item><title>Mike Lawrence is gonna be on the Afterlife tomorrow and...</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7V7oJlcUQp4?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mike Lawrence is gonna be on the Afterlife tomorrow and I’m really excited.

&lt;p&gt;While watching this week&amp;#8217;s Mad Men, it struck me that Betty Draper Francis has a LOT in common with Britney Spears. Allow me to explain with pictures!!! (SPOILER ALERT - some Season 4 ish)&lt;!-- more --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;They both started out very young, blonde, and beautiful.&lt;/strong&gt; And in show business (Britney as&amp;#8230; well, Britney, and Betty as a model). There they learned that their sexuality and beauty was their most valuable asset.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FOpmZhWztBI/TXZMFy_RXPI/AAAAAAAAAJU/KVpWJtj6igc/s1600/baby-one-more-time.jpg" width="400"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="306" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xs_QfsAHAf4/T2s47LtjjCI/AAAAAAAAG1Q/xZtQ4fJJFJg/s1600/Mad+Men+Coca+Cola+2.jpg" width="500"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;They both had what seemed like fairy-tale romances that eventually fell apart.&lt;/strong&gt; They also both met their loves in the workplace - Brit at Disney, Betty on a modeling gig.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img align="middle" height="365" src="http://www.mtv.com/content/ontv/vma/2006/images/galleries/make_out_club/britney_justin_getty.jpg" width="550"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img align="middle" height="400" src="http://tobifairley.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/don-and-betty.jpg" width="600"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;They both ended up with a couple kids that they can&amp;#8217;t seem to take care of.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="419" src="http://www.soundoffcolumn.com/images/britney_spears_nearly_drops_son_2.jpg" width="366"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="313" src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ley1p7mcC91qzg2cao1_500.png" width="500"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Britney&amp;#8217;s parenting problems are overly scrutinized, while Betty&amp;#8217;s overwhelmed agitation isn&amp;#8217;t really dealt with.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;They both started showing signs of mental instability.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="289" src="http://cbswxrk.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/britney_umbrella.jpg?w=385&amp;amp;h=289" width="385"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="268" src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kvhcc5ht5R1qz6kd4o1_500.png" width="500"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5.&lt;strong&gt; They both started acting out sexually. &lt;/strong&gt;Probably borne out of a struggle to figure out their worth when their beauty didn&amp;#8217;t buy them the life they wanted, and with no other tools in their toolbox&amp;#8230; they both started &amp;#8220;taking out [their] freak tonight,&amp;#8221; with Betty even going all the way-ay-ay with some dude at a bar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="300" src="http://necolebitchie.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Madonna-and-Britney.jpg" width="431"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="388" src="http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/Betty_Drinking_at_the_Bar.jpg" width="259"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. &lt;strong&gt;Their first loves both had a slew of other young, gorgeous partners.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="250" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.popeater.com/media/2010/10/justin-ladies-getty-590bt-1287083684_590x0.jpg" width="590"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="307" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktphksteCg1qzlum5o1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAI6WLSGT7Y3ET7ADQ&amp;amp;Expires=1333551272&amp;amp;Signature=EzjVtf1YIhd1TRbk%2FwpXorfWBPM%3D" width="517"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="338" src="http://agoodhusband.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/rachel-and-don.jpg" width="450"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not even comprehensive (for either dude).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7.&lt;strong&gt; They both ended up with older men.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="400" src="http://www.gistexpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/britney.jpg" width="550"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="284" src="http://www.picktainment.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/mad-men-betty-henry.jpg" width="450"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yeah, Jason Trawick isn&amp;#8217;t THAT old, but he does have 10 years on Britney.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and of course&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8. &lt;strong&gt;They both gained some weight.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="281" src="http://dailydot.s3.amazonaws.com/uploaded/images/original/2012/4/1/bettydraper_ice_cream.gif" width="500"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;(not gonna post a fat Britney pic, but they&amp;#8217;re not hard to find)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, what&amp;#8217;s my point? I don&amp;#8217;t know. But this seems a little deliberate, and definitely very sad. Both figures seem like victims of circumstance, expectation, and misogyny. And maybe Betty is gonna cut a video with one of the dudes from Half Baked, God willing.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://emilyheller.tumblr.com/post/20410094096</link><guid>http://emilyheller.tumblr.com/post/20410094096</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Apr 2012 11:21:00 -0400</pubDate><category>britney spears</category><category>mad men</category><category>betty draper</category><category>betty francis</category><category>justin timberlake</category></item></channel></rss>
