I've had that swab test done multiple times when getting my insulin pump checked out. - kelly Sep 12, 09:56 2

I like Hugh Laurie's rationale for why he's uncomfortable letting fans takes pictures with him... - znufrii Sep 12, 09:55 50

    - [deleted] 1
      - yup. -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 10:22
- That's kind of an odd example to bring up, given the way Steve Martin deals with fans. -- nm - mara Sep 12, 10:03 7
  - ? -- nm - Beaker Sep 12, 10:06 3
    - You had not seen these? -- (link) - The Ruiner Sep 12, 10:08 1
      - heh, awesome -- nm - Beaker Sep 12, 10:09
    - he gives out special business cards. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 10:07
  - I expect it's deliberately chosen. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 10:06 2
    - He chooses as his example of not needing proof the one guy offering proof? -- nm - mara Sep 12, 10:09 1
      - no, of a guy who refuses to take photos. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 10:09

    - "Rihanna ain't got shit on me!" -- nm - TFox Sep 12, 10:16
  - I'd be nice provided they threw me a houseparty with real people. [nm] - Mel Profit Sep 12, 10:09
  - However, if you're the type to be out and about a lot...that would die down, I think. I have single point analysis to back up this point too! - Jim Sep 12, 10:03 1
    - Your IM is how much of Hollywood/Beverly Hills functions -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 10:08
  - [deleted]
  - that's the deal. everyone knows it going in. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:58 2
    - Just because it's a known quantity doesn't make it appropriate. -- nm - ty97 Sep 12, 09:59 1
      - Nor does a celebs desire for privacy make all unwanted attention inapropriate. (nm) - musubi Sep 12, 10:04
  - so then give up the big paydays and be a nobody like the rest of us then. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 09:57 22
    - He should charge for his picture. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 10:03
    - That's not to mention the reality stars who actually pay to have cameramen following them around -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 10:03
    - yes....nm - x Sep 12, 09:58
    - ehh, that's a bullshit argument -- nm - ty97 Sep 12, 09:58 18
      - I disagree. It might be a coarse way of saying it, but with the spoils of success you can't just ignore the downside of fame. - musubi Sep 12, 10:02 16
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Totally agreed. It's a 2-way street, Celebs still deserve privacy and respect, and do not give that up by being famous. - musubi Sep 12, 10:08
        
        Right, there's a time and place for how you handle seeing a celebrity.... - Will Hunting Sep 12, 10:06 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        as long as people are snapping photos, means people are still interested in you. - groiny Sep 12, 10:04 1
        
        Word. -- nm - Pete Best Sep 12, 10:06
        
        If someone's in it for the fame, I can see this argument. I don't believe all famous people are in it for fame I guess. - ty97 Sep 12, 10:04 6
        
        Musubi called it a "down side," not something that is strived for -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 10:10
        
        I look at it this way, the fans are basically who are paying your salaries. You have to be grateful to them for letting you do what you do and live - pmb Sep 12, 10:08
        
        No, I don't think that's right. Whether fame is the untimate goal or not, it's a reasonable by-product of success. - musubi Sep 12, 10:06 3
        
        If that were true of success in all fields, I might buy it. -- nm - ty97 Sep 12, 10:14 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        If the field is intrinsically tied to face/name recognition for success, then it's absolutely valid. - musubi Sep 12, 10:18
        
        the whole notion of celebrity hinges on the notion that someone else's life experiences are better and more valuable than your own. -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 10:04 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        At least I managed to avoid using "predicated". -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 10:09
      - no, it's not. - groiny Sep 12, 09:59
- You could apply this rationale to any picture that is taken for good memories - Guigue Sep 12, 09:57 1
  - Why photograph a wedding? I mean, *GOD*, how lame is THAT? -- nm - Hugh Laurie si Sep 12, 09:57
- (apropos to the videotaping your life instead of experiencing it discussion) -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 09:57
- This is true. It is what he says every time we hang out. - The Ruiner Sep 12, 09:56
B2 has succeeded in making me angry at humanity -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 09:54 9
- So... par for the course? -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 12, 10:09
- Let me see your mad face! *snap snap click click* -- nm - bc/nc Sep 12, 09:56
- I am sorry, but seriously. September, 2011 = 9/11. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 09:55 4
  - I thought about typing it as 9/11/11 earlier today, but I'm just too damn lazy. Does this mean the terrorists have won? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 12, 09:56 3
    - heh. I am hopefull that nothing will happen. - The Ruiner Sep 12, 09:57 2
      - I think you're wrong on point 1 (spoils) - Beryllium Sep 12, 09:59 1
        
        11/11!!! -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 10:01
- just send Capstern an email about it. - groiny Sep 12, 09:55
- I'll work to reduce the typos man. -- nm - ty97 Sep 12, 09:54
I mean, who here hasn't ever put a stick of dynamite in their pants? - The Ruiner Sep 12, 09:52 7
- some women have called it that, sure -- nm - moles Sep 12, 09:59 1
  - because it goes off after 5 seconds? -- nm - Go Ducks! via droid Sep 12, 10:14
- people that take nitro for heart conditions and/or their caregivers often get false positives on those. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 09:54
- "Hey baby, is that dynamite in your pants, or are you just happy to---" *BOOM* -- nm - Beryllium Sep 12, 09:53 2
  - I got Artz on me -- nm - ty97 Sep 12, 09:54 1
    - I tried to warn you! -- nm - Artz Sep 12, 09:54
- lit. -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 09:52
