I've heard that before (mighta been you)...Yeah. I've heard that before (mighta been you). There is no excuse for stiffing your waiter in New Orleans (unless maybe the Camellia Grill FQ Treme-wannabes I got last night).<br /><br />But I've also heard of waiters asking him about Leave it to Beaver, The Simpsons and even for an autograph. Just because someone is famous doesn't mean they aren't entitled to time off work and a pleasant meal. <br />That said, there is no excuse for being rudely dismissive to a waiter in New Orleans. <br /><br />I've always found it ironic that many people who make a living being funny -sometimes- actually have pretty intensely unfunny private lives.<br />Harry is decidedly Not Funny in The Big Uneasy. He leaves that to our friend John Goodman (who btw IS a great tipper and walks down Frenchman St wit'a BIG SMILE). Nor have I ever seen Harry even remotely try to be funny on his blog at Huff Post, which has always been for the most part about New Orleans and the Federal Flood 8/29/05.<br /><br />Harry's an intense and complex guy. But when I handed him a pair of Brass Balls in Silver Spring, Maryland after a screening of TBU in March, he did crack a smile... and even thanked yer Ho Ho Homble Editilla.<br /><br />So there, my thoughts in a nut butter.Editillanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972843372998828082.post-44247141874467987352011-10-08T09:52:55.104-05:002011-10-08T09:52:55.104-05:00I've waited on Harry Shearer many times at res...I've waited on Harry Shearer many times at restaurants over the years and he sucks. Thanks for the 12% tip on the reg even though you get perfect service and we make $2.13/hour. We depend on our tips, Harry! Loosen the purse strings and while you're at it, try smiling once in a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
