Are You Ready to Get Dirty?
My Celebrity Love of Mike Rowe
 |
Mike Rowe, Host of Dirty Jobs |
I'm in love...celebrity love with Mike Rowe. He is number one on my list. Yes, that list. For those of you who don't know who Mike Rowe is, I am absolutely offended. In order to repent, you should watch Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe Tuesday at 9pm ET/PT on the Discovery Channel. I know I sound like an advertisement here, and no, Discovery Channel is not providing any money for my sassy endorsement. (However, Discovery Channel, if you are interested...e-mail me; I'm certain we could work things out.
Now back to my celebrity crush. Mike Rowe is the host of a captivating show where he spends a day working in various dirty jobs across the world. You may be thinking what's so exciting about exterminating insects from a termite-infested apartment building. Well, you'll just have to watch the show to find out, or you can read on to hear me gush about it all.
From DiscoveryChannel.com:
Mike Rowe will introduce you to a hardworking group of men and women who overcome fear, danger and sometimes stench and overall ickiness to accomplish their daily tasks. Not one to just stand by, each week, Rowe will assume the duties of the jobs he's profiling, working alongside rattlesnake catchers, fish processors, bee removers, septic-tank technicians and other professionals: average folks tackling extraordinary tasks that simply must get done.
Interview With Mr. Dirty Jobs
I was not able to interview Mike Rowe for this article. Honestly, I did not even bother to contact his people as I was in a hurry to get the November issue out. However, if I did interview Mr. Dirty Jobs, I'm certain it would go something like this:

Amilicious: Good afternoon, Mr. Rowe.
Mike: Good afternoon.

Mike: No problem.
Amilicious: I really like your show.
Mike: Thanks.
Amilicious: It's super awesome. I watch it all the time. Well, not all of the time. Sometimes I forget and get busy with other stuff I'm doing, but I catch it when I can.
Mike: Ummmm, well, it's nice to know we have so many great viewers.
Amilicious: Can I touch you?
Mike: What?
Amilicious: I'm sorry. Did I say that out loud?
Mike: Yes. You did.
Amilicious: I should go.
Mike: Yes. You should.
Amilicious runs out of the interview in tears.
Okay, so maybe that's just a bit dramatic, and I do not condone the touching of Mike Rowe. However, I do condone watching Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe.
Mike, if you would ever like to do an interview, I would be happy to oblige. Also, I've got a dirty job for you. I haven't cleaned the cat's litter box in quite awhile, and I would be more than happy for you to assist me. In fact, you are more than welcome to do the entire job yourself.
