18 months after being labelled “endearingly chubby” by a reporter at the NY Observer, I was contacted by a reporter at the NY Post to see how, as a funny schlub I felt about the romantic prospects of fellow schlubs in the wake of Seth Rogen’s star turn in Knocked Up. I have to admit that I prefer the term “endearingly chubby” to “schlub,” though I’d take “strapping” over either, if only it weren’t so obviously false.
That article came out yesterday, and I am quoted near the end: Schlub You the Right Way.
