Murray's been doing this for years. I knew a guy from Chicago who met Bill Murray at O'Hare the day of his graduation party from college. He told Murray about it, and Murray actually showed up to the party, and stayed until the end. He even helped clean up. It's a pretty cool thing to do, for a famous guy.

Basically, Bill Murray is one of the fairy folk.

Also the girl on the right in that initial photo looks sort of like Feist to my eyes. In the parlance of our times, I would "hit that".

Not at all. If some old guy started showing up to random parties uninvited people would think him creepy. There are several people in my town I know who have this reputation. The only reason anybody thinks this is cool is because he's Bill Murray, Legendary Comic Actor. If he was Andy Wallace from Paper Market Management it'd be a different scene.

Post by: KvP on 09 Dec 2008, 15:52
Fun Fact: Erik Estrada is now an actual cop. And not a nice one, either. An ultra-right wing cop.

Point being, it's only cool to show up to social events uninvited if you yourself are considered cool. Thus it's something that only a select few people should actually consider doing. Roddy maybe, or Paul. But nobody else.

Fuck, I'd have Roddy at my party over Bill Murray any day.

Bill Murray is creepy because he is 58 and hitting on girls in their early twenties and because of

Quote
In mid May, Jennifer Butler Murray, Bill's wife of 11 years ... filed for divorce on the grounds of his "adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions, and frequent abandonment." In divorce papers obtained by TheSmokingGun.com, Jennifer went on to claim that one of America's most beloved comedic actors had hit her in the face during a November 2007 argument and said she was "lucky he didn't kill her."

Bill Murray the person is not Mill Murray the dude in his movies.  He sounds like a skeevy prick.

Also, do not trust everything someone says about their famous spouse in the media.

not according to the article:

Quote
As Sophie remembers, "I suppose he was slightly flirtatious, but really, it was more like he obviously wanted a bit of a chat. He seemed a little lonely. We started talking about Mexican food and he said, 'Right, later this week I'll take you all out for Mexican food. I'll send you the best avocados in the mail so you can make fresh guacamole.' He was very gentlemanly, even though he looks quite grumpy—like a granddad." At the end of the night, he walked the girls out to the curb and hailed them a cab.

I think their point is most celebrities can forgo the politeness in order to get tail. I think if he was simply an aged, dejected celebrity than that would outweigh his status. The thing is he's also fairly liked in subculture.

Hopefully, the part about beating his wife is not true.

I would not want to go to a party if Bill Murray were there. There was once a party in Oxford that Dave Chapelle attended. I was very embarassed at how bad people were knocking themselves out trying to impress him while still appearing nonchalant, so I left. With Bill Murray at a party with people who possibly jerk it to Wes Anderson movies I figure it would probably be even worse.

But lest I sound like I'm unimpressed by celebrities, when I met Jason Alexander I think I almost went in for a hug before I remembered that would come across as a little forward and turned it into a really agressive handshake. I just wouldn't want to go to a party with one.

Yeah, I realize that's a lot of name-dropping in one post.

This beast comes out when it is 25 degrees below zero.
It can rip your head off.
It can fly as high as a bird.
It can bite your face.


This beast killed as many as 100,000 people
Its wings can flap like a bird
It can break a glass
It can also stab you in the ass


This beast attacked my brother!
It stabbed him in the ass when he was in the cold.
His hands were frostbitten,
his hands were also numb.

Reminds me of that awful old joke about unsuccessful actor Penis von Lesbian, who couldn't get a gig, refused to change his name, and was subsequently dropped by his agent. Years later they ran into each other and the latter was surprised at what he saw- the former rolling in dough.

When asked how he attained such success, Penis replied, "Oh it was easy! All I had to do was finally agree to change my name."

"What in the world did you change it to?" asked the agent. "How did you achieve such fame and fortune?"

"Oh, nothing fancy. Just Dick van Dyke."
