If you want the club to look hot, get Mike inside as fast as possible before other people see him standing outside of it.

Is it still 3:00a.m.?

Should they erase the traces of the recent murder?

And right next to Whatshisface is Whosit

“Fame’s a weed, but repute is a slow-growing oak, and all we can do during our lifetimes is hop around like squirrels and plant acorns.” – Neal Stephenson, Quicksilver

And he’s with that woman who had that really funny scene in that romcom, you know the one I mean!

Brad Pitt?

who’s watching Mike’s kid?

I was in L.A. once at some event and some girl came up and asked me if I was someone. I simply said “no” and she walked off. I mean, if I was the guy in the Boba Fett costume I still would have said no, but maybe people closer to Hollywood know how to take credit for all that.

Hey, Chuck, it the club’s only for the near-great, shouldn’t you be trying to make it look warm?

And standing next to him is Didn’t He Used to Be.

Wonder is they’ll run into Boopsie

I think it’s funny that he’s wearing a PeeChee jacket

Paul Simon wrote a song about the near-anonymity of the almost-famous: “I Know What I Know.” great song. Album: Graceland.

Smart bouncers wear gloves on a cool night. You are not going to be ready for trouble with your hands in your pockets.

It’s the guy who was on…

Right on the tip of my tongue…

Did they spot Ricky Schroder? He used to be someone, once, a long long time ago :)

The closest I ever came to “fame” is when I was in college and the city bus driver regularly asked me (for several years!) if I had graduated from _______ High School. I assured him I had not, and even told him the name of the high school I had graduated from (which was in another town!). But I don’t know if he ever believed me.

Is Chuck one of Trrf’s relatives?
