- kevman459, on 04/09/2009, -22/+1227This one time I was sitting in Central Park eating a sandwich, when from out of nowhere some guy reaches from behind the bench, and grabs my sandwich. I turn around, and Steve Martin is taking a huge bite out of my PB&J. As he turns to walk away, he says to me with a full mouth, "No one is ever going to believe you." And he was right.
- gwaggy12, on 04/09/2009, -2/+524Best story I've heard all day. I really want it to be true.
- popzero, on 04/09/2009, -9/+404That Steve Martin. Such a card.
- sockpuppets, on 04/09/2009, -5/+361Wow, reminds me of mine:

- luke374, on 04/09/2009, -8/+244You're right, because variations of that story are about Bill Murray, not Steve Martin. NIce try though.
- mmoaddict, on 04/09/2009, -4/+233I don't believe you.
- Chemixst, on 04/10/2009, -4/+192"I was in a local healthy/expensive type supermarket here in College Station, Texas(we have a lot of those) and I'm in line to buy some ham at the deli there. The lady asked me what kind, and I said "I have no ***** idea what different kinds of ham there are lady" ENTIRELY to loudly and the guy behind me in line I hadn't noticed burst the hell up laughing.
I turn around. Steve Martin.
He kinda half leans around me and says "Honey glazed!" to the lady over the counter and I just kinda stare at him for a sec then smile and say thanks. I'm about to pay for it and he says "No way this one's on me" and pays the check for it right there. I was astounded, it was so awesome that I did the only thing I could think of ... The Three Amigos salute. Once again he cracks up and asked me if I had any idea how long it had been since someone did that. I said "a year?" he said "try ten".
We ended up having coffee at a place across the street. Turns out he bought a house in Monticeto, a really expensive residensial area in SB, and has been living there a while. We talked about everything that wasn't his career for about 45 minutes before he had to take off because his deli stuff was gonna go bad. I shook his hand and said he made my year today. He smiled and beat my head in with a tire iron. I looked up from the floor, my eyes covered in my own blood as I made out a blury image of an anvil being hoisted above his head. Through the ringing in my ears I couldn't hear his probably witty parting line before the anvil came crashing down, ending my life." - EnderWiggin, on 04/09/2009, -0/+148I was an extra in the movie "Housesitter". My scenes took about two months to film. Goldie Hawn was usually busy with Kurt Russell in her trailer when not shooting but Mr. Martin spent time with the whole cast and was actually very "warm, polite, intelligent, and funny". He ate lunch in the "extras" tent at least several times. He didn't give any autographs but instead gave out these cards (so he's been doing it since at least 1991). I've still got mine. Sure, I've been disappointed by his more recent films (and to be honest even the film I was in to a certain extent) but he is a cool, funny, and down to earth guy in real life. He went more than an extra mile to make us all feel a part of something.
- downneck, on 04/09/2009, -2/+105yeah i've heard the bill murray ones before...oddly enough, i'd believe it about murray, that dude's nutso
- Meatloaf42, on 04/09/2009, -2/+100Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it...OH MY GOD... it even has a watermark.
- hokeywebb22, on 04/09/2009, -0/+75What about The Jerk, Three Amigos. Planes Trains and Automobiles.
Not to mention A wild and crazy guy, Comedy is not pretty, and let's get small.
I agree most of his recent movies are terrible but that doesn't get rid of all the classic work he did in the past. - nixpix66, on 04/09/2009, -8/+81This is the best comment I read all day. I laughed so ***** hard.
- SteveIsTheDude, on 04/10/2009, -1/+68He was a fluffer.

- droplister, on 04/09/2009, -16/+55Hey,
Just wanted to drop in and thank you for linking directly to this image so I can't see in what context this image is used or the story behind its journey to the internet. Which would have probably been a very bland tale indeed.
Thanks again,
Dan - llamagod, on 04/09/2009, -1/+34If you're gonna whine about Digg, then GTFO and go back to ***** Reddit. Goddamn ***** idiot.

- tommyboy84, on 04/09/2009, -0/+25You're right to correct me as Planes, Trains and Automobiles was a brilliant film.
- GravyDavy, on 04/10/2009, -0/+23Dude, Bill Murray would be so AWESOME to party with.
- VacantThoughts, on 04/10/2009, -0/+21He's one wild and crazy guy

- Akaziel, on 04/09/2009, -0/+19Cause Fark and Digg haven't been doing that back-and-forth for years. Nope. Not at all.
- kamaruus, on 04/10/2009, -0/+19Steve Martin wrote a letter to our local newspaper a few weeks ago because the high school didn't want the students to perform his play, "Picasso at the Lapin Agile." It was a really nice and intelligent letter, and he offered to pay to have the play off school property.

- Chinzon, on 04/10/2009, -0/+14Well, otherwise everyone would be crying "blogspam!!1!". You can't win on digg it seems...
- DannySpace, on 04/10/2009, -6/+20This one time I was sitting in front of my computer browsing through digg.com, when from out of nowhere some guy expected me to believe he had an encounter with Steve Martin by positioning his story in a semi-clever way so nobody had a fair chance to dismiss it as fiction. I kept telling myself: "No one is ever going to believe him." And I was right.
- matt9189, on 04/09/2009, -3/+17For some reason, I picture you searching Digg everyday until a Steve Martin reference was made so that you could tell that story.
- inactive, on 04/09/2009, -1/+15The tasteful thickness of it..
