I think I'm flattered
We had a lazy weekend. Shopped for new shoes and coat for Mr. Trent. Got comics; did some cleaning. Watched a couple movies at home & went out to dinner a couple times. Normal weekend for the two of us.
So Sunday, I cajole Trent into going out to Cheesecake Factory (not a lot of cajoling needed to get Mr. Never-met-a-cake-I-didn't-like to go there). We were having a nice meal & doing some people watching & talking about the completely silly movie we'd just watched ("28 Weeks Later" First half hour was good, then it just fell apart) when this forty-something woman came up to our table and asked:
"Are you guys in a band?"
I look pretty much the same as that little cartoon of me in the upper left corner except my beard is a little darker--hey! it grows darker sometimes ;-) Trent still looks pretty much like this:
His beard is smaller in front & a little longer...
I know, when she asked I just stared at her. Trent, said without missing a beat: "No, And I'm completely tone deaf."
She said, "Well, I have a teen age son & I just had to ask. I didn't want to get home and have him say, 'why didn't you ask them.'"
I kind of wanted to ask her what band she though we were in (Pansy Division ;-) but I didn't want to prolong the conversation. As soon as she's gone, Trent said, "It's been a long time since someone asked me that!"
I just stared at him. No one has EVER asked me that before!
What a hoot. Maybe we should start a band; you don't have to be able to sing anymore with all the filters and computer crap they have in the studio! :-)

You're REM - don't you remember?!!
You are Michael Stipe and Trent must be, I don't know, Peter Buck.
OMG what a hysterical story! Stefan's cousin Brian tells a similar story when a woman out of the blue comes up and asks his wife if she is actress Sean Young!
And for the record the Michael Stipe and David Grohl (Nirvana and FooFighters) looks definitely scream band.
