But more importantly, tikifish, did Emeril ever figure out who you were?

Friend's stories I like:

Dave's girlfriend has a place on a lake in Idaho across from Arnold Schwarzenegger's place. Apparently when he's on his dock you can hear the next Golden State Govenor fairly clearly. After a fishing trip a daughter was showing the Arnold a fish and Arnold was heard to say "Yess, yess, thee feesh is luhvlee, Now poot thee feesh down." A family man! Vote for him, Califusans.

Gael cashiers at a popular coffee shop in Port Townsend, a town on the Washington Peninsula which gets plenty of stars visiting and moving in. On a busy Saturday a couple weeks back Gael was taking a coffee order from a couple she'd barely looked up at. Gael asked for a name to put on the order and the guy, in a "no-duh!" tone of voice, says "Stephen." Gael, having had her fill of surly tourists that day, said "Like I should KNOW that?" The couple laughed hartily at Gael's retort. Gael didn't think her reply was that funny. A little later it was revealed to her that the couple was Stephen Spielberg and wife Kate Capshaw.

My small tale:

I glanced over a balcony at a book store and saw Crispin Glover sitting alone at a table of books, smiling happily. I remembered he was supposed to be there doing a book signing...But no one was there to see him. "There's Crispin Glover," I said to a friend. "You should go talk to him," said a clerk as she walked past. "Why?" I asked. "Because he likes to talk to people." I didn't go talk to him (having nothing to say other than "I loved 'Twister'!"), but later that evening I passed him walking up the street, alone and still smiling. So I said "Hi." And, sounding just like Crispin Glover, he said "Hiiii-."
