The Cat 3 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Me and my daughter on her graduation day. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/reedlover/20130716_101056-1_zps2a858922.jpg Good pic! Your daughter is pretty!Pretty and obviously smart! Dang, Tony, you must be really proud!!!! You look like a proud papa and she is beautiful, but I can't take my eyes off the background. Where did she go to school? Medieval France or something? Gorgeous. It's Bangor, Gwynned in Wales. It is a great picture...you look so proud and your daughter looks so happy...who could ask for more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I made a joke about how Peter Sellers used to call Alice "Maurice Escargot" because of the "Lace and Whiskey" photo of Alice I had with me. http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee378/ReGorLaTroy/AliceasMauriceEsgargot_zpsc035bdc7.jpg Alice pointed his finger at me and said, "Stephen, how on Earth did you know that?!" http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee378/ReGorLaTroy/MeandAlice2_zpsf84db257.jpg So, I said (jokingly), "Don't you point your finger at me!" Alice's assistant caught the moment.That makes it even cooler! :clap: :ebert: ...but now I've got to ask, how did you know about that? :smoke: Chalk it up to misspent youth, just one of those worthless pieces of trivia you pick up along the way. Found this online... Alice Cooper and late actor Peter Sellers were very close friends. The 59-year-old shock-rock musician, known for his stage performances with a boa constrictor around his neck, says that he had a lot in common with Sellers. "Peter Sellers saw the absurdity in Alice Cooper. And I was a big fan of his, so when he came to one of my shows it was a very big deal. It was like being in the presence of royalty. When I met Peter, it was as if we had been friends all our lives. He was my soul brother. We hit it off immediately," the Daily Express quoted him as saying. Alice also revealed that Sellers had given him and his wife a nickname each. "Of course, I loved the Inspector Clouseau character. He nicknamed me Maurice Escargot and my wife Sheryl was Nicole Escargot," he said. "Peter would often phone me up in the character of Clouseau. He'd say, 'Allo? Is zis Escargot? Clouseau here. I'll pick you up at 7.14'. I'd say, '7.14?' He'd reply, 'Oui. I'm on a case. I haven't a minute to lose,'" he added. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those bands that can relax any awkward fan! So true. They are all very down to earth. Spoke with Tom, at length, about our mutual love for The Beatles. Rick has such a sharp sense if humour. Have a great time at your show in August. They just get better and better. I'm driving out to Pittsburgh to visit my family. And will be seeing them with my sister on the 21st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great time at your show in August. They just get better and better. I'm driving out to Pittsburgh to visit my family. And will be seeing them with my sister on the 21st. awesome!!! :P Bun E and I talked for a good 10 minutes about our love for Chuck Berry ("You're FIFTEEN and you love him?!" haha), Rick told wacky stories and insisted I was holding my shirt out wrong for him to sign. He finally said "Like THIS, honey!" and stretched my sleeve out lmao. Robin and Tom, I've met before/after shows while they were still on stage. Being in the front row, I was still able to actually talk to their faces lol. Robin's sang to me, Rick has talked to me over the microphone.One time in between songs he read my sign out loud and said "Heyyy it's you again! This girl is always at our shows! Have a pick!" and tossed me one. Right as I bent down to pick it up he said "I want a piece of you...uh....is that your dad??" LOL!!! My dad was laughing too hard and I turned beet red hahaha. but omg. Tom is my favourite member. One time after a show, I took a chance and yelled out his name. I made a bracelet and wrote a small note for him and was hoping to give them to him. HE TURNED AROUND AND WALKED RIGHT OVER TO ME. His face was inches from mine and his smile made me melt- I was 16 at the time and was fangirling like mad haha.He loved the bracelet and I asked him for his pick. He said "Oh? You want this?? Give me a good reason" and winked. I flat out begged him. He said "ehhh....for you, okay" and flicked it at me!! He laughed so hard because I slammed my arm on top of the pick on the barricade in case anyone made a grab for it, and started bouncing up and down lmao.The next time I saw them was a week later, front row again. He saw me, gave a pick to a security guard and said very loudly "Give this to her. Right there. She deserves it." and pointed right at me. I was in tears lol. I have a bootleg of one of the shows Rick talked to me on the microphone ;) OH, also, one time Rick was helping with the merchandise table! Talk about a mild heart attack going up to simply buy a shirt lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he found out I was from Nashville and knew the Cash family he started hitting me up for info. He's very approachable and way cool. Edit: He's also friggin' brilliant. Smart guy.
