please keep your hands inside the ride

I used to hang out a club that was co-owned by John Corbett, you know, of Northern Exposure and Sex and the City fame. Grrrrr, hot.

I had only lived here a few months and had not yet grown accustomed to seeing his fine self hanging out at the bar. I was still a little star struck by his beauty.

On New Year's Eve 1995 I was hanging at said bar with Bunny and our friend JL. I do believe I had a little bit to drink (that's my story and I'm sticking to it) and I was going on and on about how I heard that the hottie himself was going to be there and how I absolutely had to find a way to say how do you do, and take me I'm yours.

At one minute to midnight an opportunity fell into my lap. We were lounging on some chairs in a corner groaning about how much New Year's Eve does suck, when we saw the back of a very, very tall man and several other people walking away from us. They had come out of a door that was neatly tucked into a back corner - the VIP room of course! The crowd parted as they headed toward the stage at the front of the dance floor. Without even seeing his face I knew in an instant that it was John and that he was heading to the stage to start the count down.

Without thinking, without a plan I got up and bee-lined after him. I curved around the outside of the dance floor and cut in through the middle hoping to meet with him somewhere in the middle. And it worked. Almost. He was approaching quickly and my brain was frantically trying to think of something terribly witty to say as we came together, when at the last moment instead of passing next to me face to face he turned and started to pass with his back to me.

A crushing blow for anyone else. But to me it was a gift from god. As I mentioned the Corbett is VERY tall and being that I am very short this placed his perfectly spherical round tushy right in my grasp. I reached out with both hands and gave that tushy a nice solid squeeze.

The man didn't flinch or turn or even acknowledge that I had groped him mercilessly he just continued on his merry way to the stage.

Happy New Year indeed.
