Am I the only one that typed "I'll give you the normal signal when I leave" but then erased it questioning the line that I was about to cross?
PapaLew does resemble a famous person...at least to drunks in a bar in Illinois. We were out with some friends, and he hadn't had a haircut in a while so the beard was full & the hair was wavy (with less salt in both). This guy kept staring at him, and finally came over and said
"KRIS!"
"Ummm...no, my name's not Kris"
"Yes it is! You're Kris"
"Okay, I'll bite. Kris who?"
"Kristofferson"
"No, I'm not him."
"Yes you are! Can I have your autograph?"
At this point, the only way to get rid of the dude was to do what he asked, so PapaLew borrowed a pen and a napkin, and started writing the name. He wrote Kris down, but didn't know how to spell the last name, so he asked the drunk if he knew how to spell it.
"Sure! It's K....
R...
I...
S....
T..............................................................................................................
....offerson"
The last bit was spoken, not spelled. He received a napkin that had Kris Kristsquigglyline on it, and was very happy. Went back to his table & was bragging to all his friends. For the rest of the weekend, PapaLew was known as Kris.

Cool. I'm used to you always making me leave early.
I just want breakfast made for me once! Is that so hard to ask?!

That is hilarious.
Back in college, it was right during the peak of ER. People would always tell me I looked like Dr. Green....no, not George Clooney, the balding one...
it always ends so sadly. I jokingly give a time, figure no one's that dumb, but 5 hours later, there's a knock at the door. I just let him keep knocking. One time I threw out some leftovers for his drive home.
Since he mentions breakfast, I have a half a blt sandwich from yesterday left. Bread and bacon is like 2/3s of a breakfast, right?
Ah screw it. This gif best illustrates the last half hour here at work. I am aptly portrayed by the running guy in the white shirt:
I just hope and pray that when Rum Brooklyn is being haunted tonight by the ghosts of the native Americans whose bodies her bought land will be disturbing, she at least gets video of it to post.
That is hilarious.

Actually, this is how I picture Erik: all studious-like.
