    Simmons is such an NBA fan that ESPN didn't schedule him a signing appearance in the city with the reigning MVP aka the biggest star on the planet.

    I love Bristol, the comedy never stops. #billsimmons

    This reminds me of an interesting story of my own. One day, I was sitting in my apartment when I decided I was hungry. I went to the refrigerator and the pantry, but there wasn't anything there I wanted to, which was pretty unfortunate. Luckily I wasn't busy that day, so I decided to drive down to the grocery store. Once I got there, I was surprised to see how many other people were shopping for groceries too! Who would have believed such a thing could happen on a Saturday afternoon? Anyway, I got a cart and began to shop. I brought produce, some lunch meat and cheese (I really like a good sandwich) and a bag of those frozen chicken breasts. They were giving out samples of some kind of sausage. I tried it and it was good but I didn't buy any. I was about to check out when the craziest thing happened... I realized I forgot to pick up cereal. So I went to pick up some plain corn flakes. After that, I stood in line to pay. The line had to be 200 people long. I didn't bring any coupons because I don't look through those mailers I get. There was a bagger at my register, which made me happy. I paid for my groceries, and then on the way out I bought a scratch off lottery ticket. I didn't win anything. That night I ate chicken. The end.

    Once inside it was "asshole to elbow" for about 90 minutes

    Why were there so many midgets in there, and why were they sticking their elbows up people's asses? #billsimmons

    Maybe if someone had called it a "queue," it would have raised the level of discourse. #billsimmons

    and the Ving Rhames looking bouncer told me

    All bouncers look like Ving Rhames! Just once I'd like a bouncer to look like Michael Clarke Duncan.

    Then we could say the line is a Green Mile long, right? #billsimmons

    That 1st picture was actually taken outside before filming began for the Houston 500.

    Show your HIV test to the bouncer and take two condoms. Take your pants off and wait for the fluffer. #billsimmons

    Tsk tsk...New Yorkers wait "on line," not "in line." To be more accurate, you should have said, "those pathetic losers waited on line to meet the boring writer and have him sign his lame book." #billsimmons
