My brush with fame.
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 12:59 PM by getoffmytrain
This is a true story.... not long ago I was out on a date with this girl at a good sushi place in Austin. Low and behold, a few tables down, Billy Bob Thornton was there with a group of people and he kept getting up literally every 10-15 mins to go outside and smoke... so, I followed him out one of the times he went out and said, "Billy Bob, how are you? I'm a big fan and and if you could do me a big favor, it'd be awesome...." He said, "Uh... okay, what?" I said, "I'm on a date with this girl, we're a few tables down, when you come back in, come over to my table and say... "Hey Jacob, good to see you again! Next time you're out my way, give me a shout and we'll do it all over again" ... with this, he busted out laughing and said, "Deal!" ... so... he came in and did it, I was like, "Sure thing Billy Bob, will do... it was fun... tell everyone I said hi" And he smiled and walked off...

She bought it hook, line and sinker... How about them apples! :-)

(Due to my pain in the ass conscience, I let her know the next day, it was a set up...)

The Angelina Jolie thread going on reminded me of this story.

Billy Bob seems to be one weird dude, but there's something
oddly attractive about him. Maybe it's just me - I've always been more attracted to the offbeat guys!

6. Any dude
That smokes half a pack of cigs before the entree arrives is enough to trip me out.

7. Most famous folks I have met are good people
I have met a number of famous folks, and almost always they are class acts. They know the tabloids will pick it up if they aren't.
