I second that emotion.
Age has been good to Harvey.
This is my Harvey Keitel story:
A couple of years ago, I was at a party where there were the three most BEAUTIFUL women I'd ever seen. I mean, these girls were SO beautiful that supermodels would one day aspire to look so good... Anyway, I snuck over to fix myself a drink near where they were talking to each other -- because everyone was terrified to go near them they were SO beautiful -- and they were discussing who THEY thought was the sexiest man in the world. They instantly agreed on Harvey Keitel. Go figure.*
-- KotS
* When I heard the girls say "Harvey Keitel," in my mind -- I'd had a couple of drinks -- I associated the name for some reason with the person Harvey Lembeck. (The guy from the beach party movies who played Eric Von Zipper, the world's oldest juvenile delinquent.) I figured, what the heck, really beautiful girls DO have strange standards. Maybe I have a chance after all... So I walked right up to the girls and said, "Hey, those beach party movies were pretty good, weren't they?" They looked at each other, smiled, and said, "Yeah." (Go figure. Even complete stupidity sometimes works as an introduction.)
A week or so later, one of the girls, Shelby, and I were in a video store looking for a movie. The TVs in the store were previewing some Harvey Keitel movie and I looked up and -- in an INSTANT -- realized THEN what a STUPID mistake I'd made the week before and I realized that I'd thought Lembeck when they'd said Keitel... My stomach tied up in a knot and I thought I was actually going to hurl... But then I thought -- and my brain actually thought these words -- The fox can stop worrying about the guard dogs once he's inside the hen house...
And that's how Harvey Keitel indirectly got me introduced to the most beautiful girl I've ever gone out with. Harvey, and my own natural stupidity...
