I dated someone famous... (okay, a LITTLE famous)

[fleabert]

before they were famous, and I didn't realize it until tonight!

we dated in high school, briefly. I didn't even recognize him until I saw his full name on Extra. So I go and Google it, sure enough, it's him! Too funny.

edited for the party poopers out there!

:P

[RagingInMiami]

1. show us a picture

EDIT: Not of when you dated, but of him now.

[fleabert]

5. here ya go!

I think y'all will recognize him...he looked a lot like this in HS, but on the show, which I have seen several times, he looks totally different! this is cracking me up! :-)

[Eric J in MN]

2. Who? nt

nt

[fleabert]

6. his characters name is Carlos nt

[Reverend_Smitty]

3. Well now you gotta tell us who it is!

n/t

[fleabert]

37. see above and below for the 411

it's not brad pitt, but he's on the teevee!

[crispini]

4. ok, now you have to tell us!

[fleabert]

38. Read above and below for the scoop.

As was so nicely pointed out to me, he is MILDLY famous...I don't want to falsely advertise my dating history. So, it's not Bill Clinton, but you've probably seen him if you watch Desp. Housewives.

[KitchenWitch]

7. That is funny

one of my friends dated a certain RW pundit who has switched cable networks recently. This, of course before she came out of the closet...

[fleabert]

8. she as in friend or the pundit? :-)

tell which pundit it was...I am guessing Tucker.

[KitchenWitch]

9. ding ding ding ding

Now I am not implying that Tucker turned my friend gay...

[enigmatic]

10. It was the bow tie, wasn't it?

It's always the bow tie...

[fleabert]

11. I could see how a lesbian could be attracted to him

he's a little girly. Unless of couse she is now into the butch type, then I would say that she was running away from the memory!

[Floogeldy]

12. I hate to burst your bubble

But that person is not famous.

Nobody knows who the fuck he is.

[fleabert]

13. okay, his show is famous.

he was a big hit on Oprah recently. and he was on extra. He's more famous than me, that's for sure.

Not quite a bubble, I just think it's funny since I 'knew him when', and didn't realize it until tonight. He's got one more Golden Globe than anyone else I know.

:-) way to be a party pooper. I bet you'd recognize his tv wife!

[CubsFan1982]

15. She's the one diddling the lawn boy, right?

[fleabert]

17. ding ding ding!

which, btw, is what made me stop watching the show. I found it very ridiculous that if the genders were switched, everyone would be in a frenzy about statutory rape. He's just a kid. boys are frequently ignored when things like that happen IRL.

[Floogeldy]

16. And his name is?

What is his name? We only have to ask because he is NOT FAMOUS.

[fleabert]

18. calm down PP!

easily discovered if you can master google. You are obviously intrigued!

:evilgrin:

[Floogeldy]

20. So I have to google his name to find out if he is famous?

OMG.

[fleabert]

23. OMG you are taking this way too seriously!

If you watch Desparate Housewives, you would recognize him. You might not know his name, but you would recognize him. Maybe that doesn't qualify as Julia Roberts famous, but for pete's sake, his show won a Golden Globe this year!

His name is Ricardo Chavira. He plays Carlos on Desparate Housewives.

do you always suck the fun out life for giggles?

[fleabert]

26. don't you know when someone is teasing you? nt

[aQuArius]

14. He's the one on Desperate Houswives

Not sure of his real name, but I like the show :evilgrin:

[fleabert]

19. yeppers!

he's heavier on the show...not sure why they would want him to gain weight. He was always thin in school.

[Floogeldy]

21. What is his name?

I realize this is awkward, since you claim he is famous.

The irony is hilarious!!!!!!

He is so famous that you refuse to divulge his name?

BWAHAHAHAHA!

[fleabert]

24. refuse? goodness you are easily excitable.

see my reply to you above... I stated quite clearly that I did not realize who he was after watching the show a few time. I only got it when I saw Extra tonight and saw his full name for the first time. It is so not awkward. I have even edited my original post for you, why are your panties in such a wad?

[realisticphish]

27. crack is bad for you man

lay down the pipe

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Floogeldy]

28. I'd rather be on crack than to call some famous, when they are not

But I'm not on crack, either.

[realisticphish]

29. speed then

it just isnt worth freaking out about, jeez

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Floogeldy]

30. I'm not on speed, either

What was that famous guy's name, anyway?

[realisticphish]

31. WHO GIVES A FUCK

its the lounge, at 2 in the morning.

:hippie: The Incorrigible Demo

[Floogeldy]

32. You give a fuck

Apparently.

[fleabert]

39. muchas gracias!

I thought a little odd news from my life might make good Lounge fodder, and he had to pee in my cornflakes.

[realisticphish]

41. its all good

we lounge lizards have to stick together :toast:

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[fleabert]

42. you are my new best friend. I got yer back man.

:hi: I love it here. :toast:

[realisticphish]

43. its nice to find

others who are even AWAKE this early. or late, in my case :)

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[fleabert]

44. I can usally be found in the lounge or lurking GD in the early am

I am pacific, so it's not as late for me. ;-)

I have a habit of cycling in and out of insomnia, keep your eyes peeled for me!

[fleabert]

36. really?

I'd rather do just about anything besides crack.

[Bouncy Ball]

22. Good GOD what is the guy's name?

I don't even watch this housewives show, but just spit it out already!

Oops! Nevermind! I suddenly stopped caring!

[fleabert]

25. if you don't watch the show, then he is definitely not famous to you.

He's the most famous person I ever dated! (I don't think anyone else I dated is remotely famous, even less than this guy!)

Ricardo Chavira, BTW.

34. haha. that's funny, nt.

[fleabert]

35. awesome sig pic, btw!

I wish I had some dirt to spill on him, but nada. He was an okay guy back then, typical teenager. He's nothing at all like his character on the show. (carlos on Desp. Housewives in case you didn't read the thread)

edited to take out nt since I did post some text...

[Califooyah Operative]

40. hehe, thanks. nt
