It's too early to think of a title

I always knew Steve Carell was awesome. I knew it years ago when I watched him on The Daily Show, yelling at Stephen Colbert. I knew it so totally that I forgave him for "Even Almighty." Come to think of it, his wife is pretty great too. She's another one I used to love on The Daily Show. So, great couple through and through. Here's proof.

I think Steve Carell is originally from Concord, MA, but I did know that he spends a lot of time in the South Shore. I hear tales of him shopping at the South Shore Plaza, taking his kids to the Aquarium and Science Museum. I watched an episode of "Ace of Cakes" where they made a cake for a premier in Boston, and Steve Carell seemed so humble. (He even told Duff from "Ace", "I am a huge fan, I watch your show all the time!" Can you imagine hearing that from Steve Carell?) Now, I imagine this little general store is going to be overrun every day from May to August, with people just hoping to get a glimpse of Michael Scott selling penny candy.

I'd like to catch him in there one day. I would love to have the chance to just say thanks for not forgetting Massachusetts, and thanks for making me laugh all the time. Also, I'd ask him to tell Jenna Fisher that she's on a "Get-Out-of-Jail-Free" List in Mass (Hubs loves her.)

Perhaps I'd bring him a gift basket complete with a love note and turtle candy.

Let's face it though, if I did go and he was there, and if I did get the chance to speak to him, I'd probably mutter something incoherant, hand him the wrong amount of money for whatever I'm buying, swear inappropriately, and I dunno, poop or something.

I have never been one to get star struck, but in his case I might.

::Edit:: The quote on today's date on my Office day Calendar actually happens to be the one regarding the gift basket! Weird.

"Ryan wants everything in our company to be about e-mails and IM's. ButI think he is forgetting about the original instant message: letters attached to baskets of food."

And one more for good measure:
"Finishing that 5K was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I ate more fettuccini Alfredo, and drank less water than I have in my entire life. People always talk about triumphs of the human spirit. Today I had a triumph of the human body. My guts. My heart. While I eventually puked my guts out, I never puked my heart out. And I am very, very proud of that."
