I heard a very funny story yesterday. I don’t really want to publish the names of the people involved so I’ll make this a blind item just like the tabloids do, or the ones who are afraid of being sued do anyway. If you can figure out, email me and maybe you’ll win a fabulous prize!

Anyhoo, I was talking to someone about a certain song sung by a very famous musician/singer (let’s call him “Gillette Nuevo”), and my friend told me that his ex-girlfriend is also the ex-girlfriend of this other famous rock star (let’s call him “Norman Dungarees”). And some years back when they were dating, Gillette used to be hanging around with Norman (and this ex-girlfriend) all the time, and apparently he was a real prick. (Which makes me a little sad because he doesn’t seem like he would be, not that I have any firsthand knowledge of this person. Maybe he’s changed since then.) Anyway, Gillette had a cell phone, which was slightly uncommon back all those years ago, and he used to leave it lying around all the time while hanging with Norman and engaging in his aforementioned prickedness, so people nearby & about would take it and post the number all over AOL–the big chatroom pre-widespread-Internet-access phenom of the day–and Gillette would get all these nutty calls 24/7 from frantic panting girls and I think the gist of it was that he would keep changing his number but he could never stop the annoyance of the calls and it was driving him crazy trying to figure out how they kept getting his new number.

I laughed and laughed at that. Sorry but that’s funny. Passive-aggressive payback, it’s cowardly but it feels so good. Maybe his frustration about this came out in one of his depressing songs. I’ll have to listen to some with an ear to discerning the hidden meaning. See if I can hear something underneath all the background noise.

I’d assume at some point he wised up and stopped leaving his phone around.

Okay I have a marvelous prize in mind for anyone who can guess! Well not really but it will give you a triumphant feeling of satisfaction knowing you figured it out.

Update: I have received three guesses so far. It’s not Shane (god no; only guessed because I’ve mentioned him recently); Billy Idol (sneering a lot doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a prick otherwise); and Gene Simmons. The last one is a good guess but wrong. Frankly I think I’ve practically given it away already but those are very wrong, so maybe I haven’t.

Update: Elvis??? How old do you think I am? NO neither one of these people are Elvis!

Update:  Nope, not Eric Clapton and George Harrison.   The actual people are rather a bit younger.  And not English (or British).  Well one of them isn’t anyway; not sure about the other.
