Morrissey encounter # 4322

Here's another piece of fiction for you all. Thanks to Oscar Zaldivar for the following:

I used to work at a houseware store in Burbank a couple of months back where one day this uniquely looking lad waltzed into the store. I couldn't really get a good look at him because he was wearing glasses. I knew right away that even wearing those glasses I had seen this figure before. I thought to myself who this person might be. It didn't take long before I knew who that person was. I remember saying to myself, "No, it couldn't be him, what would he be doing in my store"? Sure enough it was him. He had taken off his glasses to look at a piece of Rubbermaid storage container. He came up to the register and asked me if I knew what the price of that certain piece was... I was speechless. I was in awe. Like an idiot I asked him, "Are you...?" Before I could finish my question he nodded his head yes. Well anyways I got his autograph on some register tape and he set off to God knows where. It was a dream come true for me.

How pleased was I to learn that I was Morrissey. Very much indeed. Punc-she-ation and speeeeling are highly overated. Oh and one more thing..........

Hey Rebel, Mo-man was not in Vinyl Fetish that day. I left him some silly notes at Bleeker's and he got them and agreed that I'm insane. Hey, "Watching W/ a Grin"--you are definitely Morrissey, I believe you! Drive South Man!

I generally read/listen to Morrissey-encounters and usually find them believable....to be honest, very few (if any) of us know our dear Steven personally....who the heck knows what he buys/does/thinks for certain?! This one, though, sounds a bit off!

If Moz entered a store I worked in and asked the price of some Tupperware-esque item, I would certainly buy the entire set for him and offer to whip him up a nice meat-free dish at his flat (or mine!)--and then we could store the leftovers together!

A bit of a tough story to believe, I must say. Being that I have an open mind, though, I suppose it could be true. Hmmmm, so did Steven purchase the Rubbermaid storage product?!? Just curious....maybe I could start selling Tupperware and Morrissey could be the celebrity guest of honor at my first sales party! Well, I wonder....

Wow...he does have lots of free time to buy his storage containers one piece at a time!

:^)

Morrissey, this is looking really bad. Look productive or something. Can I mail you some coloring books? How about a Rubick's cube?

Speaking of residing I'm am so curious as to where everyone who visits this site is from. I don't know, I think it's just me but I'm always under the impression that most everyone is from california. I'm from Midland, Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh and as knowledge Morrissey has never played in Pittsburgh. He's played in Pilly and Cleveland. Western Pa must really suck if Moz doesn't get enough support to play here.

Pleased? Yes, pleased
Flattered? Out of the question
Once being Morrissey is quite enough
Twice? Out of the question
Over-rated, yes, over-rated indeed
Puncture that punctuation
Slit that shpelling
But do impart
That "one more thing"
Worth the wait with bated breath?

Well If I were that guy I would fancy Morrissey! Then I would jump on the counter and lay on it and say Do make you Horny baby? Great fanatasy but it would never happen! Oh Well Great Story!
Its very believable!

Are we going to have to prescribe someone some prozac for the spelling obsessive-compulsive disorder?

Dear person who called me a moron:

um, you are indeed what you called me because my post was not even addressed to anything you said.

Please use your basic 4th grade reading comprehension before you launch an unwarranted attack.

Here's an encounter for you all. My cousin art once met morrissey somewhere in whittier, Old town I think it was, He autographed my cousins chest. Art, who is by my estimation chemically unbalanced, then went straight to a tattoo shop and had them tattoo the signature right over the original. If no one believes me I will try to post a picture of the tattoo to this site or directly to anyone who request it.

Boy racer...I am from around Pittsburgh but I live in central PA now....I would love for Moz to play Pittsburgh, but then again I wouldn't want to see him at the starlake(gag) or at the civic arena...and I've never been to i.c. light...humm..well I am up for travel anyway.

on his residence: I was talking to this guy (which has proven in the past to be a reliable source on moz info)and he told me that Morrissey is alive and well and residing in beverly hills with his sister. I believe it cause moz has been spotted in l.a. alot recently. I also got the address but have not had a chance to check it out. Even so I don't think he would apprecaite anyone bothering him so out of respect I have kept my distance.

I strongly believe Moz resides in L.A. also, at least in the recent months. There has been various accounts of encounters at clubs, record stores, even shopping centers. I have two friends who met moz at the Beverly Center. On top of all this, I also have spoken to the source Ricardo mentioned earlier on Steven's where abouts. Just my two cents. What's up Ric?

before asking that you and Thrill start your own colony, I'm telling you my post was directed at the Loose Angela person, and it wasn't even meant as a mean gesture. It wasn't meant for you. I said their "spelling obsession" not their "sexual obsession". I don't remember anyone else making a big fuss about spelling and punctuation except for this person. It was meant in fun. I typed it with my own 9 fingers. The people at Price Waterhouse verified the results. I was very sober and had not been drinking for the past two hours. I have been tested by apathetic teachers and they determined that at a very early age (about the age of 4, give or take 20 years) that I can tell the difference between people who are name Loose Angela and some person from El Paso who isn't.

Since I am me, I know what I've been doing for the last 24 years. You, however, would have no clue what I was doing, apparently, even if I told you.


I don't give a damn if you want to jump across the counter and have sex with Morrissey. I really don't. It means nothing to me. Have all the mental sex you want. I'm sorry you are feeling guilty for wanting to stalk Morrissey and want to take out your anger and frustration on me, but please.

I REMEMBER THIS DAY!!! I ran into him walking out of the store as I was walking in. This was my second encounter with him (he didn't remember me though). I got to asking him what he was buying Rubbermaid for and I was shocked to find out he needed them to marinate some meat because he was making beef jerky!

Okay, here's the scoop: Morrissey lives in the Hollywood Hills. He's a wonderful person, very friendly and he really appreciates his fans' support. However, he does not take too well to uninvited guests, so please respect his privacy folks...
