I actually thought the same thing—I just overheard the bartender talking to another customer, so he didn’t say anything to me directly about it.
And I thought that while 3 bucks on a $20 tab was not particularly generous, it is not too far off the mark for what most people would leave, and I only piped up about it when I read the post about his hoodoo snake purchace.
Apparently, Nicholas Cage has spent a lot of time in New Orleans recently, and seems to have a fondness for the city, which kinda makes me like him a bit more than before, having heard here on SDMB that he is generally thought of as an arrogant prick by those who have met him…
There was a two-headed snake in the Steinhart Aquarium in Golden Gate Park when I was a kid. It was AWESOME. (Don’t believe me? Some dude wrote a blog entry about how awesome it was that will prove it to you.) Let me tell you, if I could have a two-headed snake, I totally would. Nic Cage is not at all crazy for wanting one.
When I worked in the pet trade I was occasionally offered the opportunity to buy two-headed snakes and turtles. Never saw anything else crop up. It stems from inbreeding, and there are several species of snake and turtle that have been bred in captivity for long enough for such traits to occur. Pretty cool, but generally not very long-lived.
He’s got a loooong way to go. Hell, he hasn’t even started fellating bananas in public yet and I have it on good authority he has turned down a spot on “America’s Dumbest”.
I have to agree. It isn’t just the things he says, it is the things he does. If he just said weird shit, I could get behind the “He just funnin’ with the reporters.” But here is a man who has earned more than 3 Billion in his lifetime and still can’t make ends meet. He is either stupid and/or nuts.
Wait, he’s personally earned $3 billion, or his films have? Those are two separate things. I’m having a hard time imagining that he’s made that sort of money.
