Many of you have seen Slumdog Millionaire and if you haven't well get with it. Pretty great movie and I am probably one of the biggest critics of movies considering my current Netflix Queue has over 175 movies to watch and I've rated about 300 roughly so far. Big movie fan or to much time on my hands, you decide. Anyways, for those of you who have seen Slumdog are very familiar with the infamous bathroom scene. And if you aren't well you are now. Pretty disgusting I know, but you have to admit it was crucial to the movie and probably one of my favorite scenes in a movie of all time besides well you know. The bathroom scene led my friend and I into this random discussion about what would make you jump into a pile of crap for. I of course said I could see money being involved and I am pretty sure I wouldn't do it for under a million. And yes I am aware there are other things you would do for a million dollars.
I of course look at this as an opportunity to put our diehard reader in a tough spot to corner him into saying he wouldn't jump in for his girlfriend just because. He of course responds with 'depends on the circumstance' which just really opens the door for me to say just about anything. I continue to pester him about the situation and he begins to get a little more detailed by saying, "if it were a life or death situation." I of course don't buy that and throw out different scenarios all of which he laughs and refuses to really respond (my personal favorite was if she fell in and the crap was on fire).
Now that I have him really uncomfortable and he proceeds to tell me another movie in which a bag of flaming crap was shot in a scene (which I can no longer remember therefore was not added), I decided I have punished him enough and would change the topic to the point of jumping in a pile of crap. I guess you could say he proves he actually cares a lot for this one and since we aren't very sentimental on this blog, I will just say to his girlfriend to not fall because he won't actually save you despite what he says. The point of all this is the boy was willing to sacrifice everything especially his smell for the next several months for an autograph. We then began discussing what autographs we have among one another (my Federer autograph still trumps Coach K's hands down), but truly neither of us had any worth noting. I then tried to point out people do crazy things and I would bet people would do something even crazier for an autograph from someone famous.
I know for example we used to tell the guy who worked in the bar that famous people would be coming the following day at the golf course and he would bring in memorabilia to have signed only to find that we just changed names around of someone not so famous. I would like to open this up to try to finally get some conversation going with my readers to discuss funny moments or encounters we have had to get an autograph. Many of us have done it don't lie. Anyways, if you don't want to publicly post it, send it to kylesbottomline@yahoo.com and I will retell it and leave you unidentified. Also, I want to get some new things going with the blog so I am adding a poll to try to get the website moving along. Any other suggestions just let me know.
On one last side note, I keep hearing the phrase, "It's just the nature of the beast." My man, Mark Titus said he is reinstating it, my boss has used it and XM radio keeps replaying an interview from Sheryl Crow repeating the line. Someone please explain to me what that is and where the heck did it come from.
KylesBottomLine: If I could have one autograph, I would want it from Ron Livingston and it would have to simply say F'ing Eh.
