Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hate that. Did you buy direct from the airline? What airline is it?

United. I bought through Priceline. The first leg of the flight I'm checked in and I have a seat (on Frontier). The second leg, annoyingly, where I can't even get there early, is where I can't get a headstart.

Ouch, Liese!

I would run away from Iman, I would be so in awe/intimidated.

Kinda oddly, that was me and Eric Idle. I was so worried I'd go up to him and ask to have his children I just had to flee the room.

Then I could have ruined your New Year's instead!

Nah. Our house has a special non-ruinable NYE shield. The Rose Bowl Parade people provide them to people throughout SoCal.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Orbitz pulled the same trick on us, I think with United. When you get to the airport for the first leg, ask the gate agent to give you seat assignments for the next flight. It's worth a try.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee! Is it the same shield that keeps it perfect weather almost every time?

Kinda oddly, that was me and Eric Idle.

I woulda been the same way. I mean, seriously, it's Eric Idle!

I just wouldn't have predicted my particular epic cool!fail. I still swear I could handle myself around any of the other Pythons--at least to walk out of the room at a measured pace. At the same event, though in a year previous, one of the guys we were hanging with got a chance to talk to Roseanne, and apparently all he told her was that his girlfriend was pregnant. Because it was the most important thing on his mind aside from getting to meet one of his comedy idols.

Happy New Year, Buffistas!

See you on the other side!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm the worst with famous people. Luckily, I don't meet them that often!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I've met a lot of comic book legends without losing my cool, but I totally geeked when I met the drummer from X.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The upside (for my self-esteem) is that my worst reaction is to seem like I have no idea who the person is, or what they have done.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I met Robyn Hitchcock once. I said, "Is that marker permanent?" (referring to the marker he was using to autograph t-shirts.) He didn't know.

That was all I could think to say. That, or ask him what his lyric "If I was man enough I'd come on your stump" meant, but I wasn't man enough....
