Phone's for you...

and it's Fabio. Not the muscleman stud muffin who graced many romance novel and video game covers; who "wrote" his own line of bodice-shredders; who whispered the virtues of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter...Spray; and recorded the amazing spoken word album After Dark? Yes, the very same Fabio.

He called me today. Well, my husband actually, but I got to touch the phone during the call.
Why did Fabio call Mr. Ameliabee? Because I asked him to. And you can ask him too, on the Fabio Fone website.

In what appears to be some sort of promotion for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Fabio will call you with a pre-recorded message. Using your name and other information you supply, he'll chat with you and end by plugging for a vacation contest, which is also somehow linked to my disbelief that this tub of shortening could possibly not be in point of fact, butter.

Each section is accompanied by a short video of Fabio, explaining what to do. While the video is downloading, Fabio is looking heavenward with eyes mostly closed, in a pose that I imagine is supposed to appear somehow thoughtful and sexy. But since he is sitting astride a stool, it mostly looks like he has to go to the bathroom.

Come one, you know you want to.

A phone call is just a click away.

One click, and then....FABIO!

Oh my Ms. Bee.

Fabio is legendary.

My husband cheerfully chats with any AM radio poll.

He would be delighted to have a call from Fabio.

sigh.

that just sucks all of the fun right out of it, having a totally-hot and ripped long-haired guy talking to my purse-toting baldy.

damn.

Guess I will stay with my own fellow.

Now, I must convince him of my good intentions, in forsaking Fabio for HIS lovely self...

I TOTALLY know what I am getting everyone for Christmas this year. Early! Fabio Fone all around!

And they say there's nothing good on the internet...thanks for proving them wrong.
