Who?

[Howard from Broward]

Never heard of him. I'm not making this up.

Isn't he the guy with the oversized wooden sledgehammer who smashes vegetables?

[MOTW]

I don't know his face or his name.

Short story: I had a co-worker whose had a couple brothers who worked as stuntmen. Co-worker said that one of them was working in Hawaii in the early 1990's. It was so beautiful that he flew his mom out there for a big luau. When it was over and she returned stateside, my co-worker asked her how it was. She said she had a great time and wonderful conversation with one of the men seated next to her, whom she did not recognize, but he seemed very knowledgeable. She said he was building some kind of park.
It was Steven Spielberg and the luau was to celebrate finishing filming of Jurassic Park.

[Easter Gallagher]

I think he has something to do with Christmas.

[Steverino]

The gobsmacking bars has been set really low.

[Jeff Meyerson]

Is he the ugly brother? They both suck so...

[C. Robbin]

Who??? Never heard of him. Is that gobsmacking news? Should I be gobsmacked? Or maybe just smacked by NurseCindy? I'm so confused...

[C. Robbin]

@MOTW- Now that's some story!

[man tom]

Noel Gallagher, wow.

[nursecindy]

I'm going to spare you this time C. Robbin.
I don't only not know who he is, I don't care!
I was at a very nice restaurant in Charlotte, NC about twenty years ago. A bunch of work friends and I were being treated by the management from work which is the only way I would go there since my Diet Coke, in a can, cost $5.00.
Anyway...I was running my mouth and ran into a guy and knocked him over. He was standing there with three other, very, very tall men. He was very nice and accepted my apology. It wasn't until we got into the car that one of my friends told me I'd just committed a foul against Muggsy Bogues who was playing with the Charlotte Hornets at the time. I'm pretty sure the other three guys were also Hornets.

Sounds more like Faux Gobsmackery to me. Maybe even as low as Flabbergastery.

I was standing in line at Starbucks in Scottsdale, Arizona back in 2002. I was meeting a co-worker to talk business.

A beautiful blond with a knockout figure was in front of me. I got a little closer in order to see her face. All of a sudden she spins around with her drink and spills it on me. She apologized and flashed me a beautiful smile that made me weak in the knees.

Actually, it was my fault for encroaching on her personal space. My co-worker said, "Don't you know who that is?" I was clueless. My coworker said that she was Gena Lee Nolin from Baywatch.

I had never watched the show before but became an instant fan. Apparently Gina lived in the area was dating David Dellucci, an outfielder at the time with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

So close but yet so far.

My coworker with Eli Lilly introduced me to her boyfriend that was picking her up from a meeting. Her boyfriend was Terrell Owens. Again, I was not familiar with him at the time.

My coworker was also a model and dancer for the Phoenix Suns... now an actress... Felicia Terrell. She was a helluva Cialis sales rep but one look at Felicia, and men didn't need to take an erectile dysfunction pill!

[Pullet Surprise]

Wow, there are two things going on including who is 'the presenter?" Did anybody catch who the presenter was?

"Presenter Dave Berry exclaimed: "Well what do you say to that, Noel?"

Dave Barry, Dave Berry, Dave Bury, Dave Borry - have this confused feeling that must be part gob and approaching smacked.
