Overheard in the Office...

RX: "Who is John Stamos?"

Me: "I don't know who the hell John Stamos is; I'm long past the point where People magazine turned into Who Are These People? magazine."

Most of the names we recognize are old folks who have died and then about half the time I am surprised because I thought they were already dead. Anyway we had to laugh at the "important" celebrities we don't know doing crap we don't care about filling up the pages of magazines.; 10:33 AM, July 21, 2014
Keith said...: I agree to all if that, but I will say that Rockford Files was probably my all time favorite show, and I'll admit to being sad to hear James Garner had died.; 10:42 AM, July 21, 2014
billf said...: John Stamos was briefly a sort of hero of mine,because he was married to Rebecca Romijn,who was the most-beautiful-woman-in-the-world for a while,but then they got divorced ,and now he's definitely "who's John Stamos?" again.; 10:52 AM, July 21, 2014

Paul said...: I hear James Garner passed. Now that is a name I know.

I do remember hearing John Stamos, but hell if I can remember why. Maybe he robbed a bank?; 11:25 AM, July 21, 2014

fast richard said...: I know who John Stamos is. He was on a TV show that my daughter watched when she was a little girl. My daughter is about a year younger than the Olson twins. His current career is an answer to the question of what do former C list actors do after their moment of fame.; 3:09 PM, July 21, 2014
jdunmyer said...: People Magazine started in 1974 (I just looked it up) and I remember a friend's wife having a copy about then. I looked it over and told myself that there was no way it would last more than a couple or 3 more issues. Who was interested in what those celebrities were up to? Most were simply famous for being famous.; 4:05 PM, July 21, 2014
Windy Wilson said...: Rickn8or, I also heard it attributed to Mary Astor.

Is John Stamos selling retirement village lots in Arkansas with Erik Estrada?; 5:39 PM, July 21, 2014
Drang said...: All I know is, Mrs. Drang switched brands of grick yogurt...

(Me, I can't tell the difference between grick, frog, or good old 'Murcan yogurt.); 9:56 PM, July 21, 2014
Steve Skubinna said...: My first thought was "He was the commander in the Battlestar Galactica reboot, which I never did see but, ummmm..."

Then I realized that I was thinking of Edward James Olmos, who was also in Blade Runner. Completely different guy.

Which leaves me not knowing who John Stamps was. Is. Whatever.

Hope this helps.; 10:21 PM, July 21, 2014

This is the worst adaptation of *Atlas Shrugged* I've ever heard of.; 1:32 PM, July 22, 2014
