Fate

Is everybody sitting down? I have some exciting news: Next week I will be dispatched to cover an event hosted by none other than Michael Phelps! I'll give you a minute to stop squealing.

As you can imagine, I've been preparing for this moment my entire life — so I decided to ask for your input, dear readers: What should I ask Michael when I interview him on the red carpet (or as I follow him around throughout the evening)? All suggestions welcome. (Keep it clean; I am a classy lady.)

He's so much better looking from the side and with a bathing cap on. What? Just sayin'.

No. 2 say what? says:

classy, huh?

I guess asking him about that pic of him in the full body bathing suit is out, then.

Awww I'm happy for you! One time I got to meet Macaulay Culkin, that wasn't near as awesome, since I didn't begin to idolize him until after I met him. Also I'm sorry about the unfortunate looking recent wax figure of Michael Phelps, which was… unfortunate. looking.

Maybe ask him if he knows you have been to the club about fifty'leven times.

Does the constant water exposure yield permanent shrivel?

No. 27 malcolm says:

You're going to want to ask him a question that he wants to answer. That way, he's more likely to take more time answering, thus allowing you to work your feminine guile on him.
.
Everyone is asking him about the medals, so don't ask him that or you'll get the same answers that everyone else gets.
.
As a general rule, it doesn't hurt to ask a question that allows him to look good.
.
Ask him to talk about his favorite charity, or ask him if he ever wants to coach kids, or ask if he has any times for kids trying to follow in his footsteps.
.
And if that doesn't work, ask him to autograph your ass.

No. 30 sar says:

Yeah and click through YOUR FACE and leave a message for YOUR FACE. No offence.

(Do you guys like my random impression of a troll?)
(Disclaimer, I heart Lily and ManBear, I just felt like saying YOUR FACE a few times, and misspelling offense.)

ps MAY YOU DOWN IN FLAMES!

(Not really).

COMMIE FOR MOST BIPOLAR POST!

Not really bipolar though.

YES IT IS!

No. 36 em says:

malcolm has great ideas. I have nothing original to add, unfortunately, other than some geeky questions about his favorite books and movies.

No. 37 Rikers says:

Lily! Oh no- my "hot ass soldier" is just a gorgeous man. When I find a great rump ranger, I'll tell the tale. But for now, we's just boring vanilla. Sorry.

No. 38 laceybaghands says:

Ask him if he likes caviar.
And then before he can answer, quickly interrupt him by asking him if he would like to eat if off you.
Mentioning caviar I assume automatically makes it classy.

No. 39 Kamu says:

Ask him, "Now that you've made millions in endorsement deals, when can we expect you to get your teeth fixed?"

No. 40 karisitah says:

ask him if he gets achy muscles from all the training, then ask him if he wants a massage.

No. 41 Keeblerkahn says:

If things aren't going so well you may need to show a little bit of boob. I know your classy and all but there isn't a strait man alive that can resist the power of the boob. At the very least show him your bra strap, that could buy you another 30 seconds to work your charms.

No. 42 sar says:

Wellll… I wouldn't recommend directing him to this thread.

Posted: Oct 2, 2008 at 11:42 am
No. 43 queencrone says:

Ok. Ask him about his work teaching children to swim.

Next, ask him if he can teach you to swim.

Get a firm date on said lesson. Close the deal.

I know you can do it!

Posted: Oct 2, 2008 at 2:18 pm
No. 44 sar says:

Yeah get the date! Ask him if his Speedos are mirrored, cause you can see yourself in them. Then go, "HEY OH!" and hold up your hi-five hand for a minimum of 5 seconds before repeating it a little more softly, "hey oh!"
