It takes years of practice though; best to start in early childhood.<br /><br />Re celebs:After the initial rush, I bet it must become your tedious run to the grocery store, bump into Brad what's-his-face again, discover the store is out of your favorite chocolate - heck, isn't life the pits and now what to do I do for excitement? <br /><br />You'll have to record Mrs Sneed doing the "Yoo Hoo" tp Kristofferson. I can almost hear it ringing in my ears. <br /><br />Best to Hooterville.mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912364908606799053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030581.post-64148014173834558182009-07-07T06:26:53.740-07:002009-07-07T06:26:53.740-07:00Hooterville is far more glamorous than DC.

Here we might catch a glimpse of the minority whip, not nearly as exciting as a formerly famous athlete.<br /><br />New Yorkers know exactly how to be completely non-chalant in every circumstance. The rest of us, though, get very excited - if we recognize the famous person, that is!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030581.post-72374462683293032892009-07-06T19:31:44.303-07:002009-07-06T19:31:44.303-07:00My problem is I wouldn't recognize a famous pe...My problem is I wouldn't recognize a famous person if I saw one. Most of them probably don't want to be recognized. <br /><br />That's a lot more fame in Hooterville than I would have ever imagined.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724807799695867204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030581.post-56192113231538635322009-07-06T18:43:33.406-07:002009-07-06T18:43:33.406-07:00I saw Stanley Tucci in the Woodland Hills Target. ...I saw Stanley Tucci in the Woodland Hills Target.

We're supposed to just breeze along and treat them like anyone else.<br /><br />Dave and I saw Mary Louise Parker (from TV's "Weeds," among other shows and movies) on the sidewalk in Greenwich Village not long ago. He literally took off after her, with me pulling him back imploring, "DON'T SAY ANYTHING TO HER!" Fortunately, I won the battle.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.com
