Famous last words

I'll be back with a new post soon. I've been busy nursing Jeremy back to health. "Both-hands-full" if you know what I'm sayin', and I think you do. In the meantime, here's a little something to hold you over.

***

My sister just wrote about a crazy (or "cruis-azy") shared experience with someone famous, back in his days of uber-coolness. The only thing she forgot to mention is the part about standing in line and discussing what we could be in for:


Her: "How cool would it be if we got to see Mission Impossible 2?"

Me: "Mission Impossible 2 opens in a couple of weeks! Why would they bother with a test screening so close to the actual release date?"



The most frequently asked question I've gotten whenever I tell that story is, "How short IS he?". Since we were a mere few feet away from him, my answer to that question has always been and will always be (regardless of how he comes off these days), "Tom Cruise is the perfect height for hugging", and then I pretend someone has me in a comfortable bear hug. Of course the someone I always picture in that moment is anyone but Tom Cruise.

Oh yeah!

And I seem to remember MI2 posters hanging over our heads, too. ;)

It's OK to be short, but he's just not as cool without his aviator glasses!

I just KNOW there is a double entendre in the somewhere but my cold soaked brain is just not finding it. Need. More. Cafe.

"He was lacking in the hugging height. Suffice it so say, he was no Tom Cruise in that department. Badda boom badda bing."
