The bone-chilling mug shot of Nick Nolte below inspires me to post about an incredible skill I've developed of late: celebrity spotting. Don't expect me to explain my talent because it defies explanation. I've apparently developed a knack for being in the right place at the right time. I'm just fotruitous, I suppose. For example, just yesterday I saw Tony Dungy driving. I'm pretty sure I could make out his Superbowl ring too. Either that or a class ring from Jostens. Pretty amazing, I'm aware. The only part that I've yet to make sense of is the fact that he was driving a 1987 Chrysler LeBaron. Convertible, yes, but it still seemed like an ill fit for him. The sighting was also in a questionable part of town, wrong side of the tracks, and he was wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey. Go figure.
But it doesn't stop there. Last week I definitely saw Liam Neeson at Old Navy. He was stocking up on those cheap flip-flops. White, yellow, navy blue. He must wear them frequently. I didn't approach him or anything. I figure, let the man shop in peace, no need to disturb a celebrity just trying to do a little shopping with his wife (who is startingly obese, by the way). Seems like the rest of the customers shared my opinion. He was virtually ignored.
I'll conclude with the most amazing sighting yet. You remember Ralph Macchio, Daniel Larusso, the karate kid? I know what you're thinking: IMPOSSIBLE! But it's true. About a month ago he was at Taco Bell eating a 99-cent cheesy bean and rice burrito. Naturally I ordered the same thing, thought his diet was somehow linked to his ability to perfrom the crane kick, the one used to summarily dismiss the final contender from the rival Cobra Kai dojo. Long story short, he was sitting in the corner and his back was to me, but I'm positive it was him. His face was obscured by his famous hair, but all I really needed for identification purposes was the hair so it worked out nicely.
I know my streak of sightings may seem dubious, but in defense of its veracity I can only say that I'm as amazed as you are. Needless to say, I'll keep you posted on further developments.

i once saw jerry rice...you know, of "dancing with the stars" fame. i hear he does an excellent jitterbug.
Rob Roy in flip flops and Daniel Laruso at Taco Hell...classic. I always knew Dungy was a closet Chiefs fan.
"Put him in a body bag Johnny!"
