These are real texts from my friend’s mom. I AM LAUGHING SO HARD!
Jeffrey Vega, Future CONAN Writer
One of my proudest achievements is becoming the 4th runner up out of 700 entires for the “SUBMIT A JOKE FOR CONAN TO TWEET” contest that happened right before the show started. You can read more about that on my very first post on tumblr here. In case you have a thing against clicking words that lead to other pages, below is the joke I wrote and submitted, as well as my response when I found out I was 4th in the list of honorable mentions that really made Conan O’Brien, Mike Sweeney, and Bley “really laugh!”
Ahhh. I am super proud of that one. That being said, I never thought I would see this…
OH MY GOSH. I MEAN… ANDRES DU BOUCHET! A CONAN WRITER. It feels like only recently that I wrote a blog post about how Andres tweeted a similar long-form joke that I did. HE PRETTY MUCH WROTE THE SAME JOKE I DID! Of course, the first thing that came to mind was, “Great minds think alike!” ;)
So naturally, I responded to Andres with my shock…
AND THEN, THIS HAPPENED:
RIP Jeffrey Vega.
Hahaha! But seriously! ISN’T THAT AWESOME?! I have the mindset of a CONAN writer, and I received a complement FROM a CONAN writer. Which is obviously fantastic, since CONAN will be my future workplace. And as I said mentioned earlier as a link, this isn’t the first time this has happened. MY CONFIDENCE IS THROUGH THE ROOF, EVERYBODY. :{D
P.S. I wonder if he knew “@nintendoboy” was ME, when we met back in June…?! Andres is on the far right! Also pictured: CONAN writer Todd Levin and my sister, Bridgett!
