Big blow to the blog this week. My computer is in the shop with a failed Hard Drive, so I'm forced to write from work. Never fear, I'm still passing a couple your way to enjoy. Oh, and by the way - if you plan on making egg salad on a 90 degree day, your kitchen will smell like farts. Just wanted to let you know.
Today during lunch I'm taking a walk outside of my office when I came across two blocks worth of movie trailers and filming equipment. Being the curious lad that I am, I stopped to see what movie was being filmed. As it turns out, the signs reserving the street were for a movie called "The Departed," a Martin Scorsese film which looks pretty cool (IMDB site ) and stars Matt Damon, Mark (and brother Robert) Wahlberg, Jack Nicholson, and Leonardo DiCraprio. I started wondering, If I bump into one of these guys during lunch at my deli, what is the proper protocol for saying hello? Is there a different greeting for the different levels of actor? For instance, upon seeing Matt Damon when you cross the street, do you simply nod, smile and be on your way? Does a Jack Nicholson-type warrant a, "Wow, I'm a big fan," reaction? And when you bump into Robert Wahlberg when ordering your sandwich, should you greet him with, "Oh, and Bob, I'd like fries with that too, please?" I'm not sure, but if I see any of them, I'll let you know.
My buddy Chris ran into Johnny Knoxville on his way back to the office today, and was telling me about it. This brought up a related question. Is it proper to run up to Knoxville, smash him over the head with something, and quickly yell, "I'm Johnny Knoxville - welcome to Jackass!" before running away? Do you think he almost expects to have crap hurled at him or people attempting stupid things in front of him every time he goes out in public? I know if I had seen him today, I probable would have run up to him, scarfed down my lunch, thrown it up into the bag, eaten it again and yelled the obligatory "Welcome to Jackass" line. It would have ruled.
Again, thoughts, comments, and questions are appreciated.
