Film Guess Who Has Two Thumbs and Just Met Sam Elliott?

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 3:14 PM

THIS GUY!!!!

Stay cool... stay cool... SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
  • Stay cool... stay cool... SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

What was shaping up to be a kinda "meh" day, just leaped into "HOLYFUCKINGSHIT" territory when film star Sam Elliott (Road House, Up in the Air, Hulk, too many more to mention) strode unannounced and pretty-as-you-please into the Mercury office. At first I was like, "Heh. That guy totes looks like Sam Elliott." And then I was like, "HOLYFUCKINGSHIT THAT IS SAM ELLIOTT!!!" An Oregon native, Sam's in town looking after his 97-year-old mom (awwwwww!), and dropped by the office to pick up a back issue of the Mercury, because, AND I QUOTE, "You've got a real good publication here."

You are now officially invited to SUCK IT, all other newspapers in the world!!!

SAM MOTHERFUCKING ELLIOTT!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

After the jump, my ichat conversation with music editor Ezra Ace Caraeff who made the extremely poor choice of telecommuting from home today.

Wearing your glasses the same way...so cute!

Way too white in that office, though. This *is* Portland, but still...

I have to say, the stench of jealousy so far is delicious. Please don't stop.

Wait Steve, are you standing on something? I thought Sam was a tall, tall man and I thought you were petite. This picture looks like when they photoshop Khloe to look the same height as Kim...

I would happily strangle every kitten on earth for Sam Elliott to be my dad.

This makes sense: Elliott was the Justin Bieber of 1957.

What's under his mustache? Is it like a shark's mouth, just layers of mustaches, ready to take their place?

The chat with Ezra is the best part.

Looks like Ezra and Erik picked the wrong day to stay at home and do shirtless Tai Chi in their grey sweats.

Hallett met yours truly *and* Sam Elliott in the last five days? Be nice to her next week, it's sure to be a letdown.

I'm kinda sad he's not dressed like a cowboy.

Sorry, Chester, Steve only dresses as a cowboy on Tuesdays.
