Did you know Brett Favre is a grocery store checker in my town? I had to sneak this picture of him at Smith’s. I don’t really like Brett, so I don’t get in his lane. I’m sure he’s accurate, and cool under pressure, but he’s too fickle. I heard he worked at Safeway last year, but he retired. They must be really angry about him working for the competition.
• Do any celebs (or look-alikes) work in your town?
• Does this guy look like Brett, or am I off my rocker?
• Have you ever tried to sneak a photo of someone?

No but I was working in CVS in Southern California when Tyrese Gibson from the Transformers movie came in at 3 a.m. that was great! I don’t usually sneak pictures, I just go right up and ask. You’d be surprised at who says yes, even when they know it will go on my blog. hehe.

That is so cool! I wonder if he came in at 3am to avoid being seen.

Eh, I couldn’t insert the photo into my comment. I’ll update my blog with the side-by-side comparison.

Thank you, Just a Mom!
I so thought my daughter would blow it for me. She must have had her eyes on the check-out candies!

I can see the resemblance… some. Yesterday a friend of my cousin saw Matther McConaughey taking his son for a walk. That’s as close as I’ve been able to come to celebrities. I walk around in my own little world so I probably wouldn’t realize if I saw one anyway.

OMGosh! Mathew’s a hunk. His son is already walking? Man, they grow so quickly!

I don’t know who Brett Favre is but that’s ok because he probably doesn’t know who I a either. There is an electrician in our town who looks like Mr. Bean. He came into work to get some stuff yesterday & I asked a co-worker where Teddy was.

Mr. Bean is far more popular than Brett Favre. I’d love to see a Mr. Bean look-alike!
