Okay, we’ve had umpteen celebrity sightings threads; this isn’t really about that. This is, quite simply, some Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share.
Saturday DeathLlama and I decided to go waste a day in Hollywood. We’ve both had a busy month–as every September is for teachers–and so we decided just to GO. No real plans, just GO. While driving around, we picked up a map of the Stars’ Homes and hunted a few down. Some houses were OOooh AAhhh! exciting (one had 8-9 cars–including 2 Ferraris, a Porshe, a Bentley…), others (like Meg Ryan’s) were more along the lines of “…and they LIVE there?” Anywho, while driving around, we saw two elderly men out on a walk. DeathLlama jokingly said, “Hey, are you famous?” in the car (not in earshot), and I said “Gee, the tall one looks kinda like Milton Berle.” We passed these fellows not once, but twice, as we went up and down that particular street.
We turned onto another street just off the one the Older Guys were waling on, and DL asked “Okay, what celebrities live on this street.” Me, stunned and then laughing: “Umm…Milton Berle!”
That was so cool! That makes 10 different celebrity sightings, but well–I like Milton Berle! Who gives a flying fig about Judy Tenuta or Maureen McCormick or even Mickey Rooney. Milton Berle rules!
We drove around trying to find him again–I wanted a picture with him to show my folks and grandmothers–but alas, Uncle Miltie was not to be found.
But I saw Milton Ber-le! I saw Milton Ber-le! (At least, I’m pretty damn sure I did.)
Neat!
