Newsflash
Spotted at my local Ralph's supermarket: Martin Landau. Yes, that Martin Landau of North by North West, Mission Impossible, Space 1999, ED WOOD! " Karloff did not deserve to smell my shit!"
He and I literally faced off on one another like a couple of gunslingers in the frozen food aisle. He was interested in frozen peas.Strange though, he did not have a basket.Just a bag of peas.
My reaction must have been disturbing to him, because I thought the whole thing was a bit surreal. Of all the places, he shows up in this dinky supermarket that's no where near as hip as Trader Joe's or Whole Foods.Or even Gelson's.
Plus I kind of gawked at him, like "You! You don't belong here! You're a movie legend.Get out!"

Keegs, you come up with the best celebrity sightings! Even though you have yet to encounter any in the pisser (I suspect the stories would suffer slightly given certain anatomical differences) I hand the crown to you.
You rule!
Your next mission (should you choose to accept it)is: run into Susan Sarandon in the shitter and square off (literally) over the last three squares of toilet paper. I bet you'd kick her liberal panty-waste ass!

Pint of Ben & Jerry's: $3.00
Bag of frozen peas: $1.00
Seeing Martin Landau buying frozen food at the decidedly middle-class Ralph's in the valley: Priceless.
Only in Hell-A.

Thanks Guy. I didn't think I had many but I guess they are memorable. Like Mandy Patinkin who stood behind me, invading my personal space zone and went on and on about smoothies [shut up Mandy!] at Jamba Juice. Please note to readers: I didn't know it was Mandy at first, just a guy who was hovering over me being indecisive on his order and letting me know about it too. With me going : "Think quietly dude! You sound like Mandy Patinkin...good lord it is!"
--Lori that is awesome. Yay I got my own "priceless " ad!

Don't forget about Crispin Glover!
Your story about him crossing Lankershim over by MPSC 839 is at least as good as mine about Eddie Deezen chasing a bus down the sidewalk on Ventura by Screenmusic.

I like the Eddie Deezen story- because it's so like the on screen characters he plays. Also like your scaring off "Greg Brady" at the TLA video store back in the Philly years.
Another weird celeb moment of mind I have to add:
Helen Slater asking me if it was ok to eat a muffin at Starbucks after she had a full breakfast that morning.
Yes Helen, trreeaat yourself.

I heard Supergirl's muffin's so nasty that Karloff's sh*t is way tastier...
At least that's what Bela told me.
As for Celeb sightings, didn't Guy take a whiz next to the Michael "KKK" Richards once?

awesome keegs! i can totally see that with the music that you hear for a shoot-off in a western film :D
the most memorable for me was
-selling sinbad a flatbed scanner(btw, he's a super nice guy!)
-literally bumping face on with brad pitt(turned around and whoops! yes, his chest met mine, shows you how close we were since i have no chest of which to speak of lol)
-and the creme de la creme:
getting checked out by david spade in a parking lot on sunset..yes it was creepy...i couldn't believe it until dave was like, look, i'm a guy and he WAS checking you out,. so i asked dave, well why did he look nervous? dave sayd that's because i gave him the back shes mine look..which i have seen and it's scary...
i would've loved to have seen guy and mr. kkk having a conversation...oh wait that's creepy......
