Celebrity Sighting

First of all, I must excuse my daughter, Melanie, over at Plaid Toaster, for not knowing who Adam Morrison is. Mel is a very busy, hardworking, mother of 5, with a husband, AND is now working on her 2nd. college degree. In addition, she now has the responsibility of caring for a large group of yellow penis' , well she calls them mushrooms, plants or something, that have "sprung up"---get it? (see this at plaidtoaster.com) in her plants. I have NO idea what she intends to do with them, and, as her father, I'm afraid to ask. Back to Adam Morrison. Adam Morrison played college basketball for the Gonzaga Bulldogs and just recently declared for the NBA draft, where he quite possibly will be the #1 pick. He led the nation in scoring, and has acheived rock star status in the nation and especially here in Spokane. I can vouch for this as I got to meet him last night, and this soon-to-be millionaire was turning heads in every direction. After shaking his hand and both of us commenting that we drank the same brand of beer, I was forced to give way to the throng of people surrounding him. Security was finally forced to move him to the VIP section, where he watched the concert and waved to the fans with relative safety. He seemed to this writer to be a very nice person. In what was a pleasent coincidence, my son and I had just seen Adam's parents at the local Costco earlier that afternoon. We were all at the Big Easy concert house to see the Led Zeppelin tribute band, No Quarter, and I came away very impressed with what I heard. This is a highly talented band that left no doubt in their ability to recreate this music. I was fortunate to have seen Led Zeppelin in the 70's, and this band has nothing to be ashamed of. If you are a fan of Zep, you no doubt would enjoy this show. That is, if you don't have some Broke-Back Cowboy fuck standing in front of you with a big cowboy hat on. I made eye contact with his buddy, looked at this idiot's hat, and the buddy motioned for him to take it off. To his credit, he did. What does he do as soon as he removes it?? He reaches over and takes off his buddy's baseball cap and puts it on his own head. He acted like he was forced to remove his pants and was looking to steal another pair to put on. They soon moved on down where I noticed he had put the cowboy hat back on and was in the process of irritating other people. While I'm at it, and I'm almost done here, what in the hell is a Toby Keith t-shirt wearing cowboy asshole like this doing at a Led Zeppelin tribute show?? In spite of this hillbilly, it was a very enjoyable evening, made all the more pleasent by the celebrity sighting. I just pray that my sweet little daughter isn't searching the internet for instructions on how to install batteries into a ,um, mushroom.....

HAHA batteries in the mushroom. For your information, I did indeed know who Mr. Morrison was. I simply was yanking your chain. You can ask Mark, he was standing here when I typed it. I am not THAT out of the loop.
