Tamara is a chick with a site called tamaraoutloud.com and that’s where I originally guest posted this post that’s a regular post now. Her site is full of wonder and healing devices. Check her out…oh wait….I meant, check her out real good.
Ps This is a picture of her defending my book from some strange looking UPS driver or something similar or different.

A while back I twittered to Tamara we should have lunch sometime. No doubt that lunch would change the world like a token machine at Chuck E. Cheese.
Location: Chipotle’s or some place that serves steak.
Date: The Future
Participants: Tamara & Tyler (and their spouses but for the purpose of the conversation their lines will be deleted, but they were very attractive and charming lines of conversation)
Mom: Your Mom
Here’s how this is going to go down like anyone who faced Rocky at a point in the movie when the music gets all uplifting and crap.
Tamara: Hello, you must be Tyler.
Tyler: Must I? (I then pull off my Tyler mask to reveal that I am Bill Clinton.)
Tamara: I expected nothing less from you, Mister President.
Tyler: Or am I? (I then remove my Bill Clinton face to show my original Tyler face my mom gave me 26 years ago.)
Tamara: So we meet again for the 1st time.
Shall we dance?
Of course.
(We immediately freeze for approximately but exactly 29 straight hours in the world’s longest Stare Off, then take our seats.)
I’LL HAVE THE STEAK…RAW! (I scream at the waitress from across the room.)
I’ll have the same. (She sends through telepathy.)
Let’s get down to business like a briefcase on the floor.
I agree– you have to write a guest post for me from the past.
I already wrote it with one hand untied in front of my back.
Yeah, but I need you to change it. You wrote about the Influence of the Norman Invasion on the English Language. That’s not even real and 290,000 words is too long. (All said in flawless Spanish.)
You didn’t like my dissertation? It got me 12 doctorates and I haven’t even put salt on my eggs yet. (I say while firing off 3 warning shots with a licensed handgun.)
It made Natalie Portman cry like a girl, but it’s just too much. It made Wikipedia turn into oprah.com.
I hadn’t anticipated that– it sounds like we have a crisis on our hands.
Suit up?
Suit up.
Later. For now we talk shop.
I was thinking we join websites and finally take down Two and a Half Men…forever.
I was thinking the same thing– that’s why I inserted that thought into your brain 19 years ago.
You incepted me?
Naturally… (Said while picking a lock leading to the Library of Congress.)
You harpooning little first-class. (Said while saving a baby bald eagle.)
I know, it just has to happen. They’ve gotten too far. Did you hear they brought on Ashto…
Don’t say his name, he’s my Voldemort.
Mine is Brett F_____.
My wife says it’s time for me to get to bed, can we rain check that for exactly 8 years?
By then I’ll own Guam, so my answer is of course.
Excellente. This was a spectacular lunch, I think I will go high-5 the Statue of Liberty.
Tourist. (Shakes head, but not up and down.)
(I run through a window while writing Mission Impossible 6: Revenge of the Sith before turning on the spot to face my comrade with arms. In arms? In arms.)
Farewell, Queen Tamara.
Don’t say my name…(face close up)…OUT…LOUD!
We fly straight at each other and the whole scene freeze frames like at the end of Rocky III. Everyone cries and applauds and explodes accordingly.
Who would you like to have lunch with?
