A few weeks ago, when Mom and I were headed for a second opinion at Duke, we had some interesting run-ins at the Nashville airport... 
Just as we were getting out of the car, there was an ambulance unloading a person on a gurney. We commented about how awful it must be to have to travel like that on a commercial flight, as we entered the terminal. After going through security, we sat down to put our shoes back on, and the man next to us dropped his briefcase. As things began to slide across the crowded room, Mom startet to help him pick up.
The man was so greatful for her help that he said, "Here let me give you something!" Many possibilities ran through our heads, but nothing as strange as what he gave us! He put a post card in each of our hands and said, "It's Little Richard." Well, we both must have had bizarre looks on our faces, because this was a very LARGE man and looked nothing like Little Richard. He obviously noticed our confusion and said, "No! Over there, on the stretcher. That's Little Richard. I am his body guard." It wasn't what we expected, but made for one of our most interesting celebrity sightings... that week.
I figured no one would ever actually believe this story, so I have included pictures of both his pre-autographed post card, and his gurney wheel. (That's the best I cold do.)
Only moments later were we walking through the food court and heard horrible screams. First, three men ran by, then a large pack of screaming teenage girls. The guys ducked into the first mens room they could find. Mom and I were feeling a little un-cool for not knowing who he was, so I stopped and asked one of the girls. Her response was, "Duh! Bucky Covington!!!"
Aparently this was one American Idol I did not keep up with. (I did not take this picture. Just saving most of you the trouble of Googling to find out who this guy is.)
And last, but not least; as we were eating at California Pizza Kitchen, a few days later... Mom looked out the window behind me and said, "That man walking in looks just like John Edwards." When I didn't look, she said, "No. Seirously. He looks JUST LIKE John Edwards!" Just as he walked in, I had to concede that yes, it looked like him because it was him! It just so happend to be the same day that the media linked info on his affair. So, as the rest of you were watching him on CNN, he was at the table next to us!
I did not take this picture either, but it made me laugh!
