So I Met Colin Mochrie Last Night

[Smelnick]

Here's sort of how the conversation went.

PretzelCorps: Hi, Colin Mochrie?

Colin: *Smiles, shrugs, makes a funny face* Yup!

Then all 4 of us shake hands with him.

PretzelCorps: Man, were gonna be so popular now!

Colin: Haha, I wouldn't use THIS

PretzelCorps: So are you filming something in town or something?

Colin: Yah, some news thing for CBC. October 4th, 830am is when its on.

Me: Is that a weekend?

Colin: *looks over at CBC guy* No, its a monday.

Me: Aw nuts, I'm at work on weekdays. I'll miss it.

CBC Guy from table: Just tape it!

Me: Yah, I do have a VCR, I guess I could tape it. But I doubt I'll be able to find blank vhs tapes to use.

Our Friend Dan: Yah, fat chance.

Me: Yahh, nuts. Well, I guess I could tape over my porn. I mean, it is Colin Mochrie afterall, he's worth taping over my porn

Colin: *looks at me wierd....*......

*awkward silence*

PretzelCorps: Well, it was nice meeting you! Welcome to Winnipeg, and hopefully you have a good night!

*another round of handshakes and then we walk back to our table*

Addendum.

Inbetween the 'oh we'll be popular' and the 'what are you filming' part, there was some 'so whats it like being famous?' stuff.

 

[Oooh_snap]

Awkward silence is awkward.

 

[Tucker]

[Smelnick]

Danny's reporting is slightly off, here's the extended version I remember:

Spoiler

PretzelCorps: Excuse me?

CM: *looks*

PretzelCorps: Could I shake your hand?

CM: *Smiles, shrugs, makes a funny face* Yup!

Then all 4 of us shake hands with him.

PretzelCorps: Man, we're gonna be so popular now!

Colin: Haha, I wouldn't use THIS

Dan (not Danny): Do you ever get used to it? (ie: getting pestered)

PretzelCorps: Yeah, it must get annoying.

CM: Well, ah, it's not too bad...

Dan (not Danny): So are you filming something in town or something?

CM: Yah, a spot on Men With Brooms for the CBC. October 4th, 830am is when its on.

Danny: Is that a weekend?

CM: *looks over at CBC guy* No, its a monday.

Danny: Aw nuts, I'm at work on weekdays. I'll miss it.

CBC Guy: Just tape it!

Danny: Yah, I do have a VCR, I guess I could tape it. But I doubt I'll be able to find blank vhs tapes to use.

Dan (not Danny): Yah, fat chance.

Danny: Yahh, nuts. Well, I guess I could tape over my porn. I mean, it is Colin Mochrie afterall, he's worth taping over my porn.

*prolonged awkward silence*

Previously unspoken fellow named Sean (swiftly): Well it was nice meeting you!!

CM: Yeah, enjoy yourselves!

*another round of handshakes and then we walk back to our table*

I hadn't even heard Danny's awkward-comment; they had to tell me about it afterward. For all I knew, we were talking normally and then all of the sudden in the middle of an awkward silence inexplicably. I was wondering why he gave me such a funny look.

But yes, Danny did actually say that to Colin Mochrie.
