Yo, Kristen Schall: We LIKE You!

For those of you playing along, there's a short list of Park Slope celebs we're cultivating of people we really really like.

So far its:

* John Hodgman
* John Turturro
* And FIPS' fave intern, Jonathan Safran Foer

Notice anything?

YEAH, everyone on the list is named John/Jon = TOTALLY FUCKING L-A-M-E

So, guess what bitches....it's time to add a non John/Jon to the list: Kristen Schaal!

Schaal plays Mel on HBO's Flight of the Conchords, and for those of you who don't watch, she's pretty much the most lovable groupie stalker this side of Dirty Diana.

In real life, she's also completely fucking hilarious...AND lives in Park Slope. And best of all, she apparently doesn't take shit from anyone.

Case in point, Esquire mag did this whole "Women of Flight of The Conchords" spread last year, and guess who wasn't in it? If you guessed: "the only regularly recurring female character on the show" (aka Kristen fucking Schaal), you're totally right.

Esquire was, obviously, completely friggin mortified, so they allowed Schaal to write up an account of how the photo shoot *would* have gone, if they weren't such morons in the first place when they forgot to include her:

"Last time I checked, I own the only pair of recurring tits on that show. Maybe Esquire assumed I'm too professional to pose in my underwear and stare quizzically into the camera, but it is sorely mistaken. I will do that shit."

(Us too!).

Anyway.

Ok, so here's why we totally dig Schaal:

* She's not afraid to curse in a public setting
* As "perla" said on Jezebel: she's totally "made of awesome"
* She likes hot tubs just as much as all the morons on The Real World
* Her Wonder Woman strip from The Daily Show
* She rocks that backpack
* Though she's sadly not a Jew, she *looks* a lot like one

Ok, people...its now offish: Kristen Schaal, consider yourself ADDED to our Favorite-ist Famous Motherfuckers of Park Slope list.

Done and done.

Perhaps the most compelling reason to add her is that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUkixWUJzPE" REL="nofollow">Kristen Schaal is a horse.

She was totally fucking hilarious at a gig at Freddy's right before the election. We love her.
