"Celebrity" Encounter

Over the weekend I was in my car, rounding a corner near Barnes & Noble, when a pedestrian stepped right out in front of me. If you are familiar with my driving skills you know that is a risky move. So I got a pretty good look at him since he was only inches from my window. It was Comic Book Guy! Same large frame, goatee, balding on top/ponytail combo, t-shirt and baggy knee-length shorts. I tried to find him in the store to see if he was, in fact, shopping for comic books. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. I never saw him again.u

  • That guy sounds like some of the nerds working here. ;-)

  • I'm really happy about your new job, but I will miss hearing about those freaks so much! I still laugh like crazy anytime I think about Twenty-Three Skiddoo.

  • Turns out that 23 Skiddoo got fired. She was one of the production managers in the books division, and everyone hated her because, in addition to being a control-freak micromanager, she forced her employees to clean their own cubicles (including vacuuming the floors) once a week.

  • Wow. I would expect much better behavior from someone who was dressed to do the Charleston!

  • Is that good or bad? And where do I cash in so I can retire already? :-)
