Vinemeet West: How I Became The Sexiest Man On Newsvine

Myk and Calvin

The view

SHE thinks I am sexy.

advertisement

"You're the most sexiest man on Newsvine," Kymlee said.

Well, I was a little embarrassed by that. Granted, that's all a matter of personal taste but there was some pretty stiff competition.

"I'm not even the sexiest man in this room," I said sheepishly.

"No, I said you are the most sexiest man on Newsvine," she said again. Kymlee, if you don't know it, is not exactly a wallflower about her opinions. It's not good to disagree with her.

Still, I was having a hard time agreeing. You see, I had just driven up with Calvin. Porn stars were more subtle than the people ( I say 'people' for a reason ) throwing themselves at that guy. We met up at the Thrifty car rental place. He was at the counter, a couple was in line beyond him. I walked around them and stood next to him so we could talk while we waited. The lady behind him looked at me funny, like I was cutting in line.

"It's okay," I said, "We're brothers." She kept staring at me. "You're not buying it?" I asked. "Why, because I'm taller??"
Calvin turns and smiles at her. She smiles back at him. "No problem," she said, her voice a little raspy. She should see a doctor for an antihistamine, I thought, in my heterosexual stupor.

Meanwhile, the girl behind the counter was completely flustered. Watching her move around at a snail's pace while we wanted to get on the road was a real exercise in Zen. She had to write everything twice, ask everything twice. Every time she looked at Calvin her hands shook a little. Too much caffeine, I thought. Then she forgot the keys. A few minutes later she comes back and we're finally ready to go. As we walk away, I turn back to look at her and she is still staring after us. Odd, I thought, in my heterosexual stupor.

We get the car - turns out she upgraded us for free to a red Mustang convertible. Isn't that lucky? I thought in my heterosexual stupor.

We pull up to the exit. A Sikh is there. I know this because he is in a turban and I am so multicultural.

"Hey handsome guy," he says to Calvin in a Punjab accent and comes out of his booth. "What are you going to do when all of the girls stop you?"

He leans in and looks at the back of the girl-less car, then back at Calvin, who is too cool to print off directions and is busy thumbing away on his cell.

"Oh, and you got an iPhone! That's nice," he looks at it and then at Calvin. "When do you come back?"

"Tomorrow, around this time, " Calvin replies in his heterosexual stupor.

"I'll be here," our new friend in the turban says.

We get on the highway and I mention to Calvin that, for Ontario, California, he is like George Clooney and Brad Pitt combined. He states he doesn't know what I am talking about, which is just the kind of thing Brad Clooney would say.

Calvin, you see, has what scientists call "the Kavorka." Science has no explanation for The Kavorka, any more than we have an explanation for Esther Williams swimming pools or why anyone ever thought Microsoft Bob was a good idea. The Kavorka is what it is. I learned more about the Kavorka this past weekend. I also learned that women talk to you more if you're carrying a box full of liquor, something that had been unknown to me before.

"Is there a need for all this liquor?" I asked, as we left the second liquor store on the way to the lodge. "With all of the meetings about citizen journalism and improving the community I am not sure there will be much time for drinking. I brought Boggle."

Calvin looked at me like I had just asked him to fly the car to Cuba and then shook his head and off we drove again. It turns out that I was wrong and they actually did already have alcohol at what can only be described as the best possible place to hold a Newsvine User Group Meeting On Citizen Journalism and Improving The Community. But they didn't have cigars. Or Boggle. So I knew I could add some value.

Still, this article is about how I became the sexiest man on Newsvine and I have to tell you, it wasn't easy. Everyone already knows Mykola is the mack daddy of Newsvine, Walt is a rock star, Winsome Cowboy is funner than me ( and that's without mentioning the stilts - humor I could compete with, but not stilts ), Lughshand is a poet and so genuinely nice I wanted to plant a dead hooker in his bed out of resentment that I could never be that nice, and that was without Orlando being in the mix yet - I didn't post a picture of Orlando because Celestina is in them and she asked me not to publish any incriminating photos of her - all of the pictures she is in are incriminating.

Then there was Calvin which, as I have already discussed, is considerable competition.

Yet the signs were there. For example, Celestina was very quiet at one point.

"Can you try to keep it down?" I asked.
"F*** off," she said.
I laughed.
"Do you have issues?" she asked.
"Ummm, no." That clinched it for her. Clearly she was hopelessly enchanted with me and wished I had some mental disorder that would ruin my mystique.
"Walk away now," she said. I could sense her voice breaking a little.

**********

"Well, I guess it's possible," I said to Kymlee. "Even Celestina, who is really, really nice, is clearly put out that I turned out so be so outrageously sexy in real life too. Almost hostile."

"No," Kymlee said again, her voice rising a little more, "I said you are the most SEXIST man on Newsvine!"

Oh. She said sexist. Yeah, I can totally win that one.

Most frequently asked question I got - some combinaton of, "Has Lady Scientist ever stabbed you in the eye over any of your articles?"

Answer; no, I retain both of my eyes.

Rukh, I am missing a finger and I have two scars on my chin but you can really only see them right after I shave. Straight vitamin E oil works wonders. The other times she just throws stuff at me.

Miss Pamela, someone has more pictures. What I have is video. So after I convert that it's going to be some hell breaking loose.

What winsome and have together is something you will never understand. I did my best to not succumb to his clowney charms but, damnit, I'm only human! The night we shared was an orgy of passion and carnal innovation that would have put you into therapy. His fevered howls of pleasure still echo through the forest.

Gwenny, You spent so much time watching music videos about World of Warcraft ( not ven the game itself - videos about the game ) and using your occult Wiccan High Priestess powers to summon that squirrel you just never noticed.

Kyle, we tried to get Calvin in that pic but he was already awake - after maybe 2 hours of sleep. So not only does he possess the Kavorka, he has the constitution of Rasputin. If he ever decides to become sexist, I am screwed.

Well, if we had had a REAL Internet connection, it wouldn't have taken 30 minutes to watch a six minutes video. LOL NEXT Vinemeet West (who is in charge? I wouldn't mind being in charge of our connection) we need to plan more for us Internet addicts.

and using your occult Wiccan High Priestess powers to summon that squirrel you just never noticed.

LOL Did you really mean to tease a witch on the Dark of Moon. ROFL Actually, I think it was the presence of so many NUTS. I was far more successful summoning coyotes with grill leftovers, I think.

It's too bad you don't have a Facebook profile, Cash, you, like Oluseye Bassir, could support the Foundation for the protection of Swedish underwear models

Over the weekend I was talking about my first day on NV and the likelihood then I would be at a NV meeting almost a year later, given that both Stacy and Pamela shelled me into oblivion in that initial 24 hour period.

Yet today Pamela called me 'sweetie' and offered to bake me pretend cookies and Stacy wants to pretend see me strip. If that doesn't say a lot about how NV people give second chances, I don't know what does.

By the way, I think Celestina is getting (or maybe perceiving) a bad rep for Friday night. Actually, I thought you were quite adorable, if a little buzzed.

Do you remember handing me the apple (the red apple, that is not the green one), each time I disagreed with you ? I would set it down and then continue arguing and you would, very deliberately, pick it back up and put it back into my hand - at which point I would stop yammering and instead ponder the meaning of the apple. What a kind way of getting someone to shut their trap and to chill out :)

It worked so well that I think I will go get some red apples to use in the office.

Winsome--
Yep. You should be getting it in the mail, soon.

Gwenny can cook.

You were impressed by steak and eggs. Wow, I should have made spaghetti. A gay man once proposed to me after eating my spaghetti. LOL

Plus, after hearing her stories, nothing I ever do could faze her!

::giggle:: Funny that such a boring person has so many interesting stories, huh? I'll never figure it out.

Cash, I'm glad you cleaned that all up. I don't remember you drinking so I just knew you couldn't make such an egregious mistake in thinking I said you were the sexiest man on Newsvine. I have yet to meet that fellow. And I suppose I'll have to be there to believe that Calvin is so sexy and charismatic that he was being ogled like a celebrity piece of meat...

Kymlee, I stand by my recollection of events in all of these instances. If you recall, I asked you THREE times if that is what you were saying.

As for the stuff about Calvin, I can appreciate skepticism but I was there to see it - powers like his have not been documented in the research lab or any episode of "Charmed" ... but they still exist.

Don't you guys even start whining about wanting chat back...

It sat there, taking up space on every single article and seed page for over a year, and no one ever used it (aside from that very first 72 hour continuous chat)! We even built the chat lounge, which was the equivalent of bringing in the crash cart.... and still no pulse.

So don't sit there, months after we removed it, and tell us that you actually want it back, because I know none of you whiners would ever use it.

About once a week I went in and waited for a bit. I love to chat. But if the powers that be are unable to provide us with chat, there is no freaking reason we can't pop on to IRC (I prefer the mIRC, fyi) and have chats there . .might even lure new users to Newsvine. mIRC, it's not just for sex rpg anymore. LOL

If anyone is interested, I can go and create a channel. I seldom use IRC anymore, as I prefer WoW, but it has a tiny footprint and run with almost anything else.
