Publicity Whore

Jeff Cockey stopped by while in town for the holidays.

My kid, who takes forever to warm up to anyone and has only met this guy a couple of times, led him up to see her bedroom within moments of his arrival with the promise of showing him her "pink tree." As she walked through the kitchen, she attempted to grab the bottle of Ketel One he brought us as a gift along the way. Ignoring all of the "apple does not fall far" comparisons, it was actually kind of cute how quickly she took to him until I realized that at four, she is about three years away from the dateable range in his world. (Not okay, Jeff Polanski Cockey...not okay at all.)

We also learned that Canetto and Cockey have a mutual friend in a relatively successful actor out in la la land...Canetto from his GMU days, Cockey from his actor days. They live near each other in Brentwood and have become friends. (Interesting aside: Cockey is partially responsible for this guy's first foray into sex in the no-no place.) (Though not with Cockey.) (Or so he says.)

While he was visiting, Cockey was telling us about another couple with whom he is friends. The husband is a doctor at Stanford and the wife is a biochemist. They have a daughter the same age as ours who is currently studying Mandarin. As he was saying this, our child walked by with a conical party hat pressed against her forehead, repeatedly grunting "UNICORN". Too bad they live in California, or we'd totally be besties.

Another year, another unannounced visit from Jeff. Nothing like a little Cockey to make the holiday complete.

That's what she said,

Um, "little" Cockey???? I feel offended yet strangely put in my place. Great visit, enjoy the Ketel before Little Tim drinks it all.

Was is Kierkegaard or Dick Van Patten who said, "Into every lap, a little cockey must fall"?

Also, appreciated the backdoor Santa/Newark comparison. Bon Jovi is from NJ after all.

Tante - Thank you for actually clicking that link. I wasn't sure anyone would. Tis the season for Backdoor Santas.

Cockey - I cannot believe you would not let me name the backdoor Santa. Prude.

Sending you pictures of my little Cockey.

Wait..maybe I read this wrong.

I thought I knew what you meant by the "no-no place" until I saw where the link would take me if I clicked on it. Is there really a sub-culture of armpit fetishists? Really?

Also, I've theorized for a while that Ketel One's label art is a direct attempt to attract children to drinking. May I use this episode in my case study I am preparing for the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau?

Moog - This is a family site. FAMILY. Pervert. (Send pics to brutalism@littlecockey.com...)

Tard - Uh-huh. You "didn't realize" there was a subculture of armpit fetishists. I thought "Pit Boss" was your nickname at Exeter?I think the Joe Ketel thing upsets a lot of parents. Please use it for your study.

Nice that you posted a link to my imdb page..thanks for that I need the hits. And I can not be responsible for the printing of other people names in relation to the butt sex..."butt" I appreciate your discression.

That's the last time I share the secrets of my past with you.

Given "Pit Boss" the verification word "forplum" has me kind of hot.

Oh great now I am competing with 7 yr olds!?! How will I ever win!? As if the girls in their early 20s were not enough now I have to compete with girls who like to dress up as princesses! Oh wait, I like to do that too. Damn. Why oh why did I pick you Cockey???
And Kathleen - love your blog. Read it often. In fact, I have some coworkers who have become big fans (they love reading about all the "great" things Avery does - she sounds like my kind of kid). Slowly trying to grow your fan base in LA. :)

Yay! Christina! Cockey mentioned you read sometimes...I'm so glad you're commenting and bringing others into the fold

And I am trying to grow your fan base in DC. Beautiful stuff: http://rileydesignsjewelry.com

Aww Shucks. Thanks! :) I do read your blog and I'll keep sending others your way (especially since Jeff no longer does his)! Quitter that he is!
Cockey probably mentioned I read it to warn you from posting the underage girl stories he tells you guys.... ;) Ah, what has my life become? Haha. Gotta love him.
Thanks for plug! Happy Holidays!
