Ancient pop culture artifacts. My middle school years were spent mooning over five young men from Boston known as New Kids on the Block. I slept on sheets plastered with their faces, had dolls molded in Jordan and Joe's likeness, and covered every square inch of my bedroom walls with pictures of those accented darlings. When my musical tastes started to mature and it was simply no longer acceptable to groove to "Step By Step," I scooped up all of my NKOTB paraphernalia and stowed in lovingly in my mother's basement. Jason, I'm sure you are thinking "how in the world does this benefit me?" Well, sir, let me tell you. The other day I was down in that very basement (thank goodness my mother has never moved) and stumbled across acres upon acres of old BOP magazine photos of the New Kids. What should happen to be on the backside of those glossy pictures? None other than a slew of various teen celebrities who dominated Hollywood in the late 80's, including your friend and costar Neil Patrick Harris. That's right, I have pictures of him in all of his adolescent glory, rocking some awesome high tops and what appears to be a special white suit usually reserved for professional racecar drivers. That outfit was clearly the tip of his big, gay iceberg. I have no use for these treasures, but I would be happy to pass them on to you so you can razz NPH incessantly, perhaps leaving them around the set so other actors, writers and crew members can bask in the glow of his pubescent fame. Rock on, Doogie. Rock on.
