Yeah.

So Nickelback is in town tonight opening for Bon Jovi, one of the biggest outdoor shows here this summer.

Ryan Peake came by my Staples today, and I sold him an LCD projector.

Ryan: 'Hi there, how are you?"
Shin: ***** that's that dude from Nickelback, what's his name...*
-- "Doing fine thanks, yourself?"
Ryan: "Great, thanks man. I'd like this projector please"
Shin: "Sorry, don't have any left, but HP isn't all that great anyways. You should get this Viewsonic one, it's a little cheaper with all the same options and looks even better."
Ryan: "Alright cool, I'll have it then!"

*Shin runs to get projector and meanwhile checks on the Internet to get dude's name*

Shin: "Hey you're Ryan Peake, right?"
Ryan: "Heh... yeah."
Shin: "Hey dude, by the way, good luck with the show tonight, I'd love to be there but I'm stuck working in this dump."
Ryan: *surprised* "Oh... thanks! That's too bad man..."
Shin: "Yeah I know, **** with Bon Jovi too man, one hell of a show"
Ryan: "I hope so, I haven't even met them wait but I can't wait"

*pays with debit card*

Shin: "Break a leg dude!"
Ryan: "Thanks man, take care!"

Yeah that's right. ****ing douche.

haha nickelback.

Shame on you for fishing for backstage passes!

So, you think you could sell some stuff to hot celebrities of the female variety? And take pics? Then post them?

lol @ Thrawn and Avenger

Shin, you gotta get a picture of these people someday.

No kidding. As much as you post your mug on the Camhoes thread, you need to be grabbing shots of these "brushes with celebrities".

oooo hot

My thoughts exactly

Haha @ Avenger. I wish.



Yeah. I don't see that happening.

Shin: "Hey Ryan, I know that you don't want to be recognized and that you want to move around like anybody else, but can I have my picture taken with you while the customers stare at us?"
Ryan: "**** no."

I'll try next time, though.

You have a good memory for conversations...or do you?

No, see, you have the crap camera on your phone, and your phone is in your pocket. Now, the conversation goes like this:

Shin: "Hey Ryan... oh, wait a second, I dropped something..."

*You bend over behind the counter and get out the phone/camera*

*With the phone/camera at the ready, you stand up and take his pic*

Ryan: "Thanks a lot, you *******"

Shin: "Yipeee! I did it! I did it!"


Beside, not all celebrities mind photos with fans.

Or better yet, when the boss isn't looking, you tell the celebrity, "Hey, I'll knock $10 bucks off the price if you'll let me take your picture." After you get the picture, stick your own $10 in the drawer so you don't get fired for stealing.

I don't know, even though he ****s and stinks like everyone else, talking to a celebrity is quite memorable.



He's not worth my $10.

It will be in 10-20 years when you can show your kiddos.

I would have slapped him.

Nickelback sucks.

Haha yeah, what Rob said.

when you recognise someone as a celebrity, you make a big deal out of it, but you go crazy for them AND CLAIM THEY ARE FAMOUS FOR SOMETHING THEY AREN'T!

not funny:



Funny:



Everytime I see a band member at a gig or something I always do **** like that, I cannot wait for the day that I run into someone from the TV.
