    Oh, also.... a buddy of mine was driving from the San Fernando Valley, though one of the canyon roads and there's a car broken down by the side of the road with some guy working under it with his legs sticking out.

    I don't remember the exact model, but I think it was like a 1970's muscle car. Anyway, my friend stops his car, gets out and approaches the broken down muscle car. He asks the guy laying on the ground: "Hey, you okay? Do you need any help down there?"

    The reply: "No, no I think I've got it fixed." Still my friend is just talking to a pair of legs and work boots sticking our from under a car.

    The guy scoots out from under the car and it's Jay Leno. They talk for a while and actually exchange telephone numbers. Later that afternoon there's a voicemail on my friend's phone from Jay Leno simply thanking him for stopping and checking on him.

    He's a regular where I live (has a house near by- SUPER cool guy.

    Clint Eastwood is another favorite- so sweet.

    Bill Murray, Justin Timberlake & Mark Wahlberg are also super laid back nice guys

    Ha, yeah... our daughter had a classmate who was out having lunch.

    Bill Murray stopped at her table, picked up a french fry from her plate, dipped it in ketchup and popped it into his mouth.

    He then leaned over and said to her: "Nobody will believe you"

    I'm sorry Lieutenant Dan. She taste like cigarettes.

    Also I'm kinda good at loosely quoting most movies

    Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There’s shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That, that’s about it.” 

    All the likes for you haha

    Supposedly, this is one of those times where the movie took a lot of really obnoxious liberties with the story and characters and is basically unrecognizable from the book. And I usually hate that, but I haven't read this book and regardless, I will forever insist that the movie just stands alone. I love that movie.
