Don’t worry. Most likely, I haven’t seen it.
| NYMag: | People love hearing these stories about you mingling with normal people. Why do you think that is? |
| Bill Murray: | It’s like seeing a bunny rabbit come into your house or something like that, or a bird fly into your house. It’s like, “Hey, there’s a bird in the house.” It’s just kind of a strange thing. It’s like, “Well, that’s kind of unusual, there’s a bird in the house.” Or even a bug, more like a big bug. But, like, if you see a bunny rabbit and you’re close to it, and it’s something you don’t usually get close to, it’s kind of amazing. You’re like, “Hey, it’s alive,” you know? “Look at that thing. Even its eyes, it’s really interesting. It’s alive, it’s a creature, look at that thing.” Some of those stories are kind of funny. I mean bartending, someone said, “Well, they’ll get more tips if you bartend for a little while.” So I bartended for a little while. And the party was just, you know, Scotland closes kind of early and it was just a whole bunch of people saying, “Oh, we’re going to the next thing.” So we’re walking to a party, we were just way behind, the party was way ahead of us, and there was no way to catch up. So I looked around and it was like a college dorm, not a dorm but a house. And, like a college house, it was kind of a mess. And I realized, Well, I gotta do something; I can’t stand still because everyone’s way ahead of us. So I just started washing the dishes. And it was great fun because we got to wash the dishes and you could talk a little bit and keep washing the dishes. My friends were like, “This is right, this is good.” They couldn’t believe that we were doing the dishes. And before you knew it we’d done all the dishes and it was like, you can go, because you can’t just walk in and walk out. That feels strange. But if you walk into someone’s house, do all the dishes and leave, then you feel like you’ve made a contribution. |
Convenience? Convenience?!
Just charge me $50 a ticket. I’d feel better about the expense.
Who wants to be my date?
Skipping tonight’s baseball game (I was going to use a rain check ticket) and heading to Shakespeare in the Park. I’m ok with this.
Coworker: Where were you last night?
Me: Huh?
Coworker: Mets/Cards game? I thought you got into town yesterday.
Me: …. But our tickets are for tonight?
Coworker: Uh, no.
Me: (checking ticket that I made sure to bring to work with me today so I wouldn’t have to run home before the game)
Me: Shit.
