I'm sadly lacking an entourage. But I have mini M&M's.

Oh! This reminds me I have some regular sized M&M's stashed in the Freezer. Cashmere, you just made my day a whole lot brighter.

I'm not a very fannish person, so I've always approached famous folk with the same unease and lack of cleverness I do everyone else. It also helps I suck with names and faces, so I'm unlikely to think they are different that someone I met from work or school or whatever. It all works out.

Beer makes you clever: official / Beer not fattening: official / Beer fights cancer: official

Woot!

I only get self-conscious if I see them out on the street or something.

I swear I saw Alan Tudyk in the street a few months ago. The temptation to yell "Alan!" (or "Wash!") to see if he turned around, if it really was him, was very strong. Unfortunately, my only follow up would have been "Oh. Never mind." so I let it slide.

At a party or whatever, I'm more likely to strike up conversation with a famous stranger than a non-famous stranger, although if plotzing is a likelihood, I'm have to avoid them entirely (cf Eric Idle).

I'm almost tempted to trade in the minivan:

I like the idea of a manual transmission and better mileage.

Is there anything interesting to do with famous people other than fuck them? Honestly.

I don't meet famous people, so it hasn't been an issue.

There's kidnapping them and replacing them with clones. Not that I would know personally.

I show my respect and admiration or people by ignoring them entirely.

I have worked with unknown actors who I thought were shit hot and was too shy to say anything. Even though most actors I know (not famous ones) love it when people come up to them.
