I went out last night and ran into some guy who tells me that he used to be in some field where he worked with famous people (media relations or something?). So I ask him who he's met. He rattles off a whole list of very cool people like Beyonce, Dr. Dre, Eminem (whom he called Marshall). I say, "Wow you met Eminem??" He says, "Oh me and Marshall are tight". Tight huh? Yeah. He says, "We talk on the phone all the time." I say jokingly, "Can you tell him I love him?". He says, "Well if you give me your number I can arrange a conference call for the three of us". Okay, I am not a babe in the woods so I am assuming that this might just be the most ridiculous way to get my phone number.
Really, how exactly is he planning to pull this off?? "Ummm...hi Robin it's me (the delusional man you met the other night) Marshall has been busy lately but do you want to go out for dinner, maybe he'll call my cell?" Yeah okay dude.

This reminds me of a guy I know with a clever trick: while at a bar or club, he meets a woman by secretly dropping a $20 bill next to her shoes. (For your benefit Robin, that's 24.77 Canadian.)
Anyhoo, he leans over and picks up the money and says, "Excuse me, I believe you dropped this money on the floor."
According to him, the real test is in her answer: if she says "yes, it's mine" then she's a liar and a cheat; but if she says "no, that's not mine", he replies with a coy "Wow, it's our lucky night, then! Allow me to buy us both a free drink!"
Doesn't this make him a liar and a cheat?
He says that for $20, you're saving the trouble and expense of a first date with someone who lacks integrity and honesty. I say yes, men consider honesty to be an important attribute in a female. Firm, perky honesty.
I know this has absolutely nothing to do with your post, Robin. Ignore me. I thank you for your time.

That's pretty slick. I was never that crafty with dating, it was always dumb luck.
As to the guy with all the numbers. Good call. sounds kinda sleezy. what's he doing in Canada, anyway? I'm sure it's swell, but shouldn't he be in LA or...Detroit or somewhere kinda rappy?
I'm surprised he didn't tell you his number was one of the one's in Paris Hilton's cell phone directory :lol:
geez, that's funny.
i am so all about em, but it sounds a wee bit fishy to me.
*drooling*
emmmmmm.
gotta go.
That is the BEST pickup I've heard in years. Remember the one, "Did it hurt?" (you say, "did what hurt?" and he says, "When you fell from heaven.") That was clever the FIRST time... then grew oh-so-old and tired.
This guy is either (1) genuine or (2) clever as hell. Being attracted to both clever men AND Eminem, I say go for it!
I'm guessing that's EXACTLY how he plans on pulling it off. I used to get those lame lines when I'd go out in Hollywood all the time. People are always trying to name drop in the clubs there. The most fun thing to do is to play with them back. Tell them you coordinated Beyonce's dance moves in "Baby Boy" or you, Marsh (as he doesn't mind his closest friends calling him), and Hayley were in Detroit shooting his autobiographical documentary. I loved doing that. Messing with messed up people makes that stuff all the better. Plus, you can give them fake names (for some reason, I always end up calling myself Julie) or the numbers of people you hate when they ask for them. Oh, but I digress.
that is probably the BEST pickup line anyone could ever offer.
how un-selfish! "yes i can work you into my busy schedule of kissing celebrity ass, and show you publicly how much of a fool i am by degrading whatever dignity i mustered to have prior to the downgrade of my calling marshall and making him talk to some girl i want to bag. this should be great for my career"
guys will do anything.
i LOVE it!!
What can I say? Us guys like to make a fool of ourselves :-)
"Me and Marshall are tight??" I love it! I would've totalkly fallen for it too, because I absolutely love Eminem. He's playing on your vulnerabilities my dear. Ask him for "Marshall's" e-amil address, then you can set up a date of your own!
But then how hot is this agent guy anyway? (That's if you and Marsh don't work out :)
it's a classic! Marshall can't make it so, um, here i am instead! bless him. I think you should go, just for the amusement value!
Um...I'm thinking he is a big dork and you should not give him your number. People who throw out information like that (true or not) are trying too hard. It's like telling people you are a doctor or a pilot. Just my 2 cents...

Hey - you gotta give the guy some credit for at least thinking that up. Conference call...that is way hi tech stuff! *scribbles notes*
that could have only been improved by him using the phrase..."let me pull some strings!"
that would have been by far the icing on the pathetic cake.
Sure this guy is lying, but just for kicks you could have asked to see some of his celeb pics in his wallet. If a guy is that tight all these celebrities, he would have at least one pic just so people wouldn't blow him off.
Robin,
Where do you meet this f**king losers? Talk about the wrong place at the wrong time....hahahaha
Funny stuff...thanks for all your comments and advice. :)
