I have a superpower.
I meet famous people. It’s a gift, really. I go to shows & I end up meeting/touching the stars. I have an 80% accuracy rate.
It started when I was 7 & I got to be in a musical with Mickey Rooney. It was The Wizard of Oz. Mickey was the Wizard. I was a munchkin. Appropriate.
Perhaps my most impressive win, though, was in 2009 when Juicy J spotted me in the crowd & asked me to come on stage. Yes, ladies & gents, I danced with Oscar-winning Three 6 Mafia in front of thousands. Personally, I think I was just small enough for them to hoist over the barricades, but I’ll take it.

Lovely grub – maybe not the same Kudos – but I once went to a party with The Sex Pistols (former Rock Chick!)

I had a similar Super Power; well, in the days. I was a cheesemonger in Dublin. The year was 1999… Going 2000. We party-ed like… Well like if it was that year. Jamie Lee Curtis ate of my hand ( true story as I gave her a cheese sample), John Hurt rang me from New York personaly to order his Xmas cheese ( a regular, the guy who played Elephant Man, and the poor fella who has a baby alien popping out of his stomach in.. Well in “Alien”. James Bond “Roger Moore” asked me the way to the Shelbourne hotel as I ran full force into him ( sorry Roger), and I shared a pint with Bono in Grogan’s pub in Xmas 2000 ( he started). I also shared a pint ( well, I had a pint, the timid guy had a glass… Pfff) of Guinness with Quentin Tarentino at the Blues Fest in Clifden in 1995… Now, I live in the midlands of Ireland, the most famous guy I know is Mickey Joe up the road who has the latest Massey Fergusson but I heard that my interview on TV China about Irish cheese has been seen by 10 million viewers … There is hope. Those powers are to be taken with great responsability 😀 😀 😀 ( this tale was based on true events…) 😉 BTW I love your recipes 🙂
