For those of you who toiled away in a stuffy office last week - and missed all the hoopla over the cruise that Ellen whipped together at the twitter site for Ellen Fans the end of last week - I am inclined to report on a handful of the delicious details.
It all started when Ellen quipped in a tweet that she was longing to flutter off on a fun-filled weekend jaunt to parts unknown for a bit of catchy two-stepping (according to shock jock Howard Stern - she's a fab dancer - 'ya know?) - and just maybe - a round or two of poker (last man standing).
Any suggestions, she queried her dedicated fans.
Within seconds, a handful of excited Ellen Fans (moi included) chirped up.
Suddenly, Ellen was fast-tracking a tantalizing itinerary for a "Twitter Escape", a handful of Ellen Fans were invited to tag along on in August (2009).
A whaling trip - with a night of poker tossed in for good measure - was difficult to resist.
In fact, so much so, that within twenty-four hours the novelty cruise was sold out!
I expect that other talk-show hosts will jump on the bandwagon in the lazy days of summer ahead, eh?
You betcha!
No doubt, Letterman ("top ten" sea tricks cruise) and Jerry Springer ( "pillow fight" tease charter) will be rustling up pleasurable people perker-uppers with a nod to Ellen for leading the merry way.
Oprah (not to be outdone by upstarts) will obviously coral her best bud - the Prez - to helm her ritzy good-ship lollipop.
Undoubtedly, she'll also book a multitude of snake-oil salesmen to pitch unproven alternative medicines on deck, once the luxury liner heads out to sea.
Nothing like a captive audience, eh?
My bets are on Ellen's magical mystery tour.
How could the current "it" girl possibly go wrong?
Whoa Nellie!
She meant strip poker
