Martin Short Meet & Greet

A few months back I won the "grand prize" on KHUM to meet Martin Short after his HSU "I wouldn't be here if I knew how to save money" show. It was definitely "#2 fun", which means it was not fun at the time, but makes a great story.

Thanks to my buddy Nick for keeping me company! I love how Mr. Short is dwarfed by the tall Dutchman. He can barely reach Nick's shoulder.

FAQ:

Q. Is that a cardboard cutout?
A. No. That's really him. He just doesn't change expression.

Q. On a scale of 1-10, how awkward was it to wait back stage for the meet & greet?
A. 11

Q. How would you sum up the meeting?
A. Most decent, I must say.

Martin was smiling just a hair bigger in the shot with you (no offense to Nick - Martin was probably feeling insecure by his height). I'd like a copy of that for my frig - I'll post it next to the shot of me and Sasquatch. Or... you can try and meet as many washed up B stars as possible and start a collage. Melea

The extra smile is because I just whispered, "Smile big or get punched in the gut."

If your surname was Short, you would want to avoid photos with Nick, too.

And finally: "Washed up B star"?

Crack open a copy of Canadian Funnymens Journal lately? It doesn't seem like you have.

How dare you. I mean how DARE you?!
