Default I saw Gary Papa in person

OMG Hes my height (5'8") or shorter, and he was wearing the gaudiest pastel paisley shirt! He was uncomfortable that people recognized him and left.
"Gary? lemme give you advice! DONT wear that kinda shirt if you dont want attention! Cause I wouldnt have looked your way otherwise!"

a true brush with mediocrity.

I was once in an elevator with the guy from the Krass Brothers commercials. But then again, he was a bigger star than Gary Papa.

I didn't realise that guy was still alive.

Speaking of local celebrities....

I saw Bill Henley from Channel 10. You could easily tell he was wearing a ton of makeup.

I bumped into that weird guy on Action 6 that does those human-interest stories at Liberty Place.

You know, the guy with the glass bottle glasses and the Bob Ross hairdo.

He looks just as weird in person as he does on TV.

They're always short.

Cept Jordan and Iverson... way taller than you'd think.
