Random Post (Trust Me I Ain't Kidding)
First, the following is a full response to Shane's wonderful post about meeting famous people. I started to write it in responses, but it got too damn long, so read Shane's post first, so this makes sense.
That's awesome! I'd like to meet him just so I can say, "Dude, do you want to tell folks that say you should stay in school, to blow you?" Seriously, if he stays at O State and blows his knee out there, he loses TONS of money. This way he gets top care AND gets paid. If you want to have a "hero" for getting hurt at the right time, he is at the top of my list. I must admit I know who Midget Mac is, but don't think I"d recognize him, as when I'm confronted with little people, I generally don't look directly at them, because I don't want them to think I'm staring. Also, if I did look directly at them, my dumb ass would probably stare. So I wonder what bothers them worse, folks who stare at them, or folks who refuse to look directly at them? Sister Patterson was such a jerk to him it really made me feel for how poorly little people are treated. But I still feel self-concious around them, and I don't know if/when I'll handle it better.
I've seen a few famous people, most athletes, but the funnest was leaving the airport after dropping my Dad off for a business trip when I was like 17 and seeing 2 super tall white guys waiting for a cab in the cab stand. I walked closer because I knew Golden State was in town and Chris Mullin was one of my favorite players. Bingo! It was Chris Mullen and Tom Tolbert, shivering in our cold weather, so I left them alone. If Tim Hardaway had been with them (like that dude has ever taken a cab in his LIFE) I would have came over and said something. I also saw Jaclyn Smith at Red Lobster in Toronto. Yes, it was weird.
Last night on my ride home, I saw a pimped out Honda Civic in front of me with a personalized license plate, the plate read "DEESNUDD". I'm sure there are other options for what this means, but my only question is "Did what's his name get to you last night?"
New movie question, today's quote from my calender is awesome, but it's not the most memorable quote from a very popular movie, here is the quote:
"It's not the years honey, it's the mileage."
Hints, because this is hard:
1. I saw this in the theatre.
2. At the time, this was the best movie I had ever seen in a theatre, besides Star Wars. Okay, that 2nd hint was probably too much.
