Fame is a scalable idea, right?

A couple years ago at a bar I said "don't I know you from somewhere?" to a chick. She gave me a look that I thought said "oh did you just use that line?" Then I felt stupid because I really did think I knew her from somewhere and forgot that was a line. Anyway, we were both drunk and kept getting more drunk. She gave me a handy j and the next morning I left her place. I asked her for her number but didn't put it in my phone because I couldn't remember her name anyway. Then a few days later I saw her on TV because she's the weathergirl on the local news. So famous might not be the right word, but hey, handy j right? I think the face she gave was probably "oh don't you recognize me from tv" more than "oh did you just use that line?".

Lived with a girl in Seattle for several years during law school who went to Cornish College of Fine Arts with Brendan Fraser. She appeared in several productions with him, and in one he helped her dress and undress and got to see her in deshabille every night. Oh how I loved hearing that story every fucking she got to drinking.

Same girl worked as a hostess at Ruth's Chris Steak House. She was at the hostess desk looking down at her reservations book when someone came up and asked for a table. She answered, without looking up, that there wasn't anything available. The guest said "But I'm David Copperfield." She said, again without looking up, "Well, you should make a table appear." Then she looked up and it was David Copperfield. She had big boobs. Very very big boobs.

Last week a group of us went to Brasa Grill downtown Cleveland. Kyrie Irving(Cavs Point Gaurd) was sat at the table next us. On the way out he looked up at me and I said 'Nice game last week' (he scored 40points against the Celtics) he thanked me and we left.

In about 1987 I rode in an elevator with Hervé Villechaize, Tattoo in the original Fantasy Island. I was in New York City. We were packed in and he was face to belly with some fat guy for seven floors. I was with my great-uncle at the time, and he was a drama teacher doing some kind of business there.

Villechaize was a total ass and spent the entire seven floors making smarmy comments about all of us.

Before Idaho Senator Larry Craig was Senator Larry Craig, he was Congressman Larry Craig.

Just out of high school I was the news department at a local radio station. I spoke with Larry a lot. He always made himself available for interviews and it was an easy way to get sound bites for newscasts. I always like the cat, he suffered through a million questions from me as a dumb twenty-year old I'm sure.

I interviewed him in person once, when there was a grassroots movement to make a 51st state out of north Idaho combined with eastern Washington. I was recording the interview, as always, and asked him 'off the record' what he thought of it. He said, "I never say anything off the record with a tape recorder running."

He always treated me good and never made any moves on me. I guess I'm just not that hot.

Here's one that just happened.

Football player Peter Crouch was in the pub I work in this evening

That's him there.

Along with him was his wife, the model Abbey Clancy

That's her there

An interview with Peter Crouch a few years ago;

"If you weren't a professional footballer, what would you be?"

"A virgin"

I don't think it's necessaryily because he's a bad looking bloke

It's just that he's over 7 foot

He'd be fine if he didn't have the body of a circus freak

I used to work @ a photo lab and this MILF would come in to get pics developed (yeah this was 97/98). The boss would always do them, but she wasn't there one day when this chick came in and I got to see the pics. Turned out to be the wife of Les Claypool (Primus, Frog Brigade, South Park Theme). So I'd been seeing and not recognizing Les for months.

Last month I was working my sales job and this dude comes up to buy something from me. I didn't look at him twice until I got his phone number to look up his account. Turned out to be Les Claypool again. Can't remember what he bought, but it couldn't have been much.

The fucking kids I work with had no idea who he is.
