Okay, okay, so he's not really, but still. Sure, sure he wants coffee SO bad. Has to get his stupid megaphone out and yell at people. I'd tell him to sit on it and get off the lazy ass to get some coffee. Okay, so I'd get him his coffee, but if he yelled at me for TEA he'd be on his own. Same thing on that banana thing. Not because it'd annoy me but because I'd laugh! I'd stop doing anything because I'd laugh too much. Though I'd eventually take that megaphone away from him. God gave him a loud enough voice as it is. He doesn't need silly things like megaphones to amplify it. Certainly not when he really wants to ask for something. Then it just gets a little too loud!

Anyways, I just get a kick out of the spaz attack. Frank can get hit and doesn't spaz! But Rich spazs over a cup of coffee! I guess I can cut him some slack. He did say PLEASE. Not just please, he said PRETTY PLEASE! As for the banana thing, what a five year old! I think five year olds DREAM of having mega phones to shout at Mommy and Daddy for some toy. That way they KNOW they would be heard and would get that toy. And then, just as Rich got his stupid banana, they wouldn't want it anymore. The beauty of it all.

Though Rich doesn't need a megaphone to make himself louder, he sure makes it sound funny! Really makes his message clear that he wants a BANANA! Nothing clearer than someone screaming BAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAA at the top of one's lungs through a megaphone repeatedly to get the ol' message across. I don't think you can really drag out the word tea nearly as well. It just doesn't have the same effect. He does have a point though. How the hell do you get orange out of banana? As everyone knows, no word in the English language rhymes with the word orange. So basically, the dude bringing him the banana should have heard BANANA the first time.

Regardless, I get a kick out of it everytime I hear it. It's just so funny. Not just anyone can be funny while they're cussing some poor errand person out. Not to mention how Rich leads into that section claiming to be a low maintance person in the studio. Hmm. Yeah. I wonder if he's like that everyday! Probably not. He was probably playing with his toy. Probably why he asked for TEA right after demanding his stupid coffee. It was all a scheme to play with his stupid megaphone. Especially when you can say the word fuck through it and make it sound even cooler. Not to mention dragging words out to see what that sounds like too. See above paragraph.

If I were an errand person, I'd still attempt to take that megaphone away. I guess that's the woman in me. Something about that megaphone grates on the ears. Just a little TOO amplified. Of course I'm not afraid of loud noises or anything. I've been to a few loud rock concerts, some of them in those tin can type arenas. My only problem with getting that megaphone from him is HOW would I do that? I'd have to confiscate it at some point because he'd really use it to his advantage and annoy some folks with it. Of course I learned things like that from watching my mom. She's the queen of disappearing things she doesn't like and then claiming not to know where it is. So, in the spirit of using a mom trick, I'd probably hide it and not tell!

On a side note, while I'd confiscate the damn megaphone, I'd confiscate the damn razors! NO MORE SHAVING YOUR HEAD, RICH!! Not just cause I like you with hair, but did you think about the sun burns you're going to get! Huh?? DID YOU? Okay, I'll stop ranting about you're head shaving. Damn it, though. You just got your hair back. QUIT IT. One of these days you'll shave your head and it wont' grow back if you're not careful. As for shaving his beard/mustaches and what have you, I'd allow that, but sheesh NO head shaving.

Back to the banana and tea bit. I'd like to close this rant about Rich acting like a five year old with a few quotes from the video. Just to refresh WHY he was pretty much acting like a five year old, yet we gotta love him and laugh. "Dude, fucking coffee. I asked for it ten minutes ago. Can you get me a fucking cup of coffee. Please. Pretty Please. Jesus." That's puncuated with the tossing of the megaphone. Classic. See ya next week and dudes, some one get the man some coffee!
