Coach: Can he still play? Trainer: He's in a coma! Coach: Answer the question!

I ran into Ed Lauter last night in front of the Park Plaza hotel. You'll recognize his face - he's a popular character actor who has been in tons of well known flicks, including: Cujo, The Longest Yard (both versions), French Connection 2, King Kong, Death Hunt, Real Genius, Youngblood, True Romance - and the list goes on.

Ed was juiced, and as he walked up to me he could tell I recognized him. He yelled something as he passed by, presumably on his way to Whiskey Park, and I smiled. I'm not going to pretend I'm too cool to be phased when I run into celebrities. I think it's pretty neat. To have the coach from Not Another Teen Movie brush past me shithoused with a 24 year old broad on his arm is enough to make anyone giggle.
