First things first.. I dedicate the post and meeting to Stacy the PQ :)
So..
I'm in Wally World yesterday, standing in line by myself. The hubs and the sister were off in different parts of the store.
I notice the guy in front of me has a buttload of groceries and had actually walked off to get some more.
So, we were sitting waiting for him to come back. BTW.. lots and lots of junk food.
He came back with tons of eggs, apologized for me waiting and set his food on the conveyer belt.
He then looked at me and apologized for taking so long and having so many groceries. That he purposely came in that early (8-ish) to avoid the crowds. I told him "no biggie"... that's why we came that early too. Then..
I realized WHO I was talking too.
So.. the next conversation went like this :
sis walks up...
Me--Do you know who 'blank-blank' is?
sis.. umm.. no, not really.
Me--sigh.
hubs walks up...
Me--Do you know who 'blank blank' is?
hubs.. yeah.
Me--That's him in front of us.
hubs--naww..that's not him.
Me--Yep.. look at him straight on.
hubs--oh wow.. hey, maybe it is.
So.. we watched him for a bit, bag his groceries etc, and then he smiled and left.
My sis walked up to the cashier and asked and she said , "yes, that's him".. his brother lives in this town and he's moved up in the area too"...eeks.
So.. come to find out later, he actually lives in the next town over from me and has horses and frequents a nearby bar & grill. So.. kinda cool thing last night, hubs son gave his business card to him.
So yeah.. photo below of the man I spoke to *briefly*... :)
I have to say he blended in pretty well and no one bothered him, especially me. I wouldn't even let sis go up and say anything to him. But.. she did snap a couple of cell-phone photos while he was bagging his groceries.
Oh and I won't really give away any towns or names since obviously he doesn't want people finding him up here.
**Oh and Stacy.. I had a restaurant employee tell me if I get a pic of him printed up, and they see him again, they'll get you an autograph :)**

Well, he would have been safe around me. I wouldn't have had a clue (yeah, I'm one of 3 people on the planet who hasn't watched any of LOTR. Or Harry Potter...). But cool!
That is so awsome! Oh Man! I soo have to start shopping Wallyworld around here! LOL
Stacie
Think he'll pull weeds and mow your lawn?
*Gasp* Os! You haven't seen Hidalgo? A Perfect Murder?..he's so much more than those elf movies! Get thee to Blockbuster Man!
Stacie
They closed the Blockbuster here...
He's no Harrison Ford, but he is kinda cool.
Netflix Man! Netflix! Oy!
Wow, that gave me goosebumps reading who it was. I like Viggo and watch any movie he is in. I also read Stacy's site and she makes me laugh when she writes about him.
There are no celebrities in our immediate vicinity. That we know of anyway.
Lol...I'm none the wiser!!! He's pretty cute but who is he? Can I claim being a Brit for my ignorance? ;o)
Those eyes, that stubble, uhmmm. Insert big bedroom sigh here...
I'm with Os, no clue.
he's a great photographer too! in case you didn't know :) I have two of his books, "Miyelo" and "The horse is good." His favorite toy, a hasseldblad :)
Oh.My.Farkin.GAWD! I just got tears in my eyes.
You realize we're going to have to hospitalize Stacy now, right? She'll need to be restrained to Florida because I see her jumping on a plane headed west!
OMG I am SOOOO excited for you! That's just so wicked cool to see him in Wally World of all places!
A Perfect Murder. Damn, that's one incredible movie!
M~
I really have no idea what to say other than OHMYGOD!!! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FRIGGIN' KIDDING ME!!!!!!
I'm dying....having a heart attack right now.....*gasp*...please....send.....autographed photo....as...as soon as you can....*COUGH*....so that I may....*gasp*...lay mine eyes on it before I....pass on.
;)
Okay...okay....I know, Overkill. WAY over the top. Seriously though, if there's any way possible and it's not too much of a hassel and it's doable, I'd be forever in your debt if you could get me his autograph. Then I can truly say Viggo was my first! (First autograph, that is..;)
And I have to give props and a huge shout out to Marianna...who actually had to slap me upside the head before I realized what the heck was going on! ;)
Leesa, that is INCREDIBLE!
P.S. - Oh, and I'll need your address, of course. You know, so the movers know where to drop off my things in case they get there before my plane arrives...;)
P.P.S. - Oh and a must-see movie of his is "A History of Violence". It's GOOOOOOOOOOOD.
OMG!!!
I would have stood there drooling... telling him to take his time. Heck I would have gone with him to help him shop some more. LOL
I love all of his movies...
He is also an amazing photographer... maybe you can take photos together.
I think the PQ is on the next flight out of Florida... LOL
hope you are able to post photos soon.
That happens tome all the time!
I can't believe he shops at Wally World.
Don't they have a Celebrities R Us in Montana?
Who is this guy exactly?
I'm KIDDING!!! Stacy will kill me.
Steve- I love ya...but you're a boogerhead. ;)
