The Rise of an Internet Celebrity

Helpful writes: I truly believe that dear Luke could parlay his 15 minutes into a solid B level tier celebrity status ala Wally Cox on the Hollywood Squares, but I fear that the Paul Lynde level of success will continue to elude him until he does something truly note worthy like shoot the president or marry Joan Collins.

As far as associating with a star getting Chaim laid. Face it, Chaim. If Tom Cruise, himself took you to an all female Scientology lecture you couldn't even get a wink from the ladies. Do your love life a favor. Obsess less on Luke's aura and more on those freakin' carbs you've been gobbling.

Chaim Amalek writes: Here in New York I see plenty of equally short, fat, older Jewish men hooking up with hot non-hookers. He's not short or fat, but look at Howard Stern for Christ's sake. The man is physically repulsive, yet manages to have coitus whenever he wants with a six foot tall blonde shiksa young enough to be his daughter. And even Al Goldstein can find love. If fame can work for them, who is to say that it cannot work for me, even if in its attenuated, reflected form? Besides, there is a much better chance of Luke soon becoming famous than there is of my seeing the low side of 250 pounds any time soon.

As for how Luke might become famous, I think he should become a Maybe Fag, one of those professional Walkers who squire older women about town. Connections count (see Peter Gruber), and this sort of a gig might give Luke the connections he needs to become the next Larry King. All he lacks is the initiative and hunger to give it a go.
