Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I've met more famous people than you

    That is totally awesome. How big are their butts anyway, Like, arm's width, hand's width?

    Not as big as I'd expected.

    Also, the reason I was there, not kidding, was to pick up some goliath tarantulas for delivery to one of his friends.

    So Awesome.

    Met Orson Scott Card at a book signing for Shadow Puppets a few years back. I got there early and just kinda stood around and shot the breeze with him. Nice guy.

    Also, Gym Class Heroes and He Is Legend (separate occasions of course).

    Oh, and Brooke Hogan. You know, Hulk's daughter? That's, uh.... that's a lot of woman right there.

    I met Michael Cera and Jonah Hill with borfase.

    And by "met," I mean, "They sped by in rickshaws."

    Met the guy once, too. Seemed nice enough. A fan-girl friend of mine wanted him to sign her boobs, but he's Mormon, so that was a no go. Totally awkward.

    She's dumb as a brick. Seriously. Most of her fan-girl-ism (is that even how you're supposed to write it?) comes from stuff she made up on her own. It's like her own life is a terrible fan-fiction she writes as she goes along.

    I'm also fairly sure Gary Busey honked at my girlfriend once

    So is your girlfriend hot or what? It could be useful to know what sort of standards Busey sets himself.

    She was actually incredibly attractive, yes.

    I met Michael Cera when I was with her, too, though on a different occasion

    Now, that is a dude I would like to just floor

    He and she grabbed for a shirt at the same time and he did the whole "be awkward and stutter" thing before he eventually handed to her and walked away, still stuttering softly

    it was actually mildly creepy

    I can't fucking wait for his character to die. They can keep him obese on a deserted island for so long before he's gotta be offed, no matter how many cookie jars he secretly scruffs down.

    I met Arnold Schwarzenegger when I was a kid. Saw his Humvee too.

    A bit of background: my dad was the food and beverage director at a particular hotel in San Pedro, California. The hotel was best known for its marina, where the Schwarzenegger film Collateral Damage was going to film a scene or something like that. Arnold stayed at the hotel, I met Arnold when he was checking it and pulled up in his car.

    Fun fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger will only eat one kind of oatmeal and requires it to be in any hotel room he is going to check into.

    Aww hell no, what's going on there is way too good to kill. Still though, Hurly had better lose at least some weight before season 4 ends, or that tubby motherfucker has got to go.
