Steve Martin is not Leslie Nielson

While riding the lovely 49 bus up to Capitol Hill to get some Pho, the Vietnamese noodle soup which is the main fuel for yours truly, I heard some interesting conversation that a mother and her two daughters were having.

I love America. It is the only place you can get such wonderful gems as these.

DAUGHTER: (pointing at American Apparel) See mom, the 80's are coming back.
MOM: It's so horrible that the 80's are coming back. . . those. . . those were my high school years.

and

MOM: Area 51. Thats where they keep them alien spaceships. If you go there they kill you. I think it's by Reno.

and the true gem:

DAUGHTER: Naked Gun is such a funny movie, it's got that one guy. . .
MOM: Leslie Nielson?
DAUGHTER: No. . .
MOM: O.J. Simpson?
DAUGHTER: NO! That one guy. . . from Cheaper By the Dozen. STEVE MARTIN!
MOM: Oh, that's right.

I just want the record set straight. Leslie Nielson is not Steve Martin. Leslie Nielson wishes he were half as cool as Steve Martin.



Side Note: "Groovin'" is playing on the radio now. . . Life would be exstasy. You and me and Leslie (Nielson) Groovin'
