Poop, Pastrami and John Mayer.

Posted bycasey coombsPosted inToo lazy to label.

Are you ready for the craziest segue ever in the history of blog posts?

You see, my little family headed out for some 4th festivities. As we were leaving to go to lunch the moosh slipped in an enormous squishy pile of dog poo that covered her legs, her skirt and her shoes. So lunch was changed to bath. Because dog poo? PEE-EW. Especially when the person covered in it has to ride home with you.

The whole way home I fumed a post in my head about dog owners and their responsibility to clean up after their dogs. While many people look with disdain upon both dog owners and toddler owners, I can assure you I will never allow my toddler to leave behind a pile of crap for you, or your dog to step in.

Seriously. Pick up the crap people.

We made it to lunch about an hour after we would have originally gotten there had the poo been cleaned up appropriately. (Seriously dog owners, seriously.) Our choice of dining establishments was a deli called Shapiro’s. I accidentally found it when I drove by lost and forlorn yesterday. It looked like a complete dump from the outside, yet it was filled with normal looking people both old and young inside.

By far the best sign a restaurant is good.

We walked in ready to order our pastrami sandwiches (holy pile of magnificent pastrami sandwich it was, do you live in Indiana? Go. eat. here.) when Cody said “Huh, that lady looks like Jennifer Aniston.” Cody’s judgment of celebrity look alikes can be a little wonky, so imagine my utter shock and surprise to turn around and see that yes, not only did she look like Jennifer Aniston, SHE WAS JENNIFER ANISTON. And since celebrities tend to date celebrities OH MY GAH SHE’S HUGGING JOHN MAYER.

And that’s how poop landed me two tables away from John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston for lunch. (Did I have my camera? NO! But I asked one of the girls who did to email me proof that they existed, are you reading this girls from the parking lot? Please send proof. xo-Casey)

    I agree that dog owners should pickup their poop but Dog walkers and dogs are the most reliable and inexpensive security resource in society. With their daily presence in our parks and on our nature trails, they are the eyes and ears of the community, frequently the first to discover crime and consistently a deterrent to it.
    That, of course, means letting your dog off leash, and be able to sniff around… and for you to understand dog language, and understand that your dog has found something. Not all dog owners can, but I do agree that we do find things… mostly couples in cars making out in parks at midnight :))

  14. MOLY HOLY! I’m so effin’ jealous of you and your poop covered toddler! What the crap where they doing in Indiana? Perhaps John Mayer was playing there, or they were visiting an old aunt, or someone was getting a secret surgery…I’m jealous, did I mention that already?

  16. You are so lucky! John has a concert tomorrow in Indy, so I guess that is where they were headed. Were people stopping to talk to them, or were they basically left alone?

  19. OMG that is crazy! Wow – very cool – at Shapiro’s in Indy of all places – was it at their southside location (surely not) but I have no clue where the other location is or if there is one.

    Yes, there are many dogowners out there who give us all a bad rap – for the record 🙂 I do pick up my dogs’ poo – we even have one of those little bag dispensers hooked right on to the leash so we are never caught without a bag.

    P.S. Happy Fourth of July!

  20. No way. I never run into celebrities, much less uber-celebs like them. Apparently I just don’t hang out at the right places.

    So, for you, dog crap equals good luck. That’s nice. Wonder what would happen in Moosh fell in like elephant poop? You might win the lottery or something.

  24. WOW, aren’t you lucky?

    The poop event happened to me too and I won at lotery (but nut so much). But meeting Jennifer and John, that’s amazing. Were they cute together as they seem in pics?

  29. GOOD CRAP! Literally.

    Oh man, I try to respect celebrities when I see them (by celebrities, I use the term loosely including John Stockton and Larry King) but I think I would have tried to walk behind her while someone took a picture ala “Say Anything”. Now that I think of it, “respecting” them is also a loose term since I kind of followed Larry King around a mall saying “Larry” really loud.

    Wondering why I’m commenting when I should be getting all scienced-up in Columbus? Oh, that’s because I’m sicker than a dog. And so is my kid. And my husband too.

  32. Dang yo! The only person I’ve ever seen in my nabe is that guy from Ally McBeal! LOL

    And yes, as a *responsible* dog owner, I totally agree. Pick up your dog’s crap, people! I end up with it on my stroller tires, shoes, blech.
    I’ll even pick up dookies I see b/c dayum I hate getting that shit on my stuff.

  39. How very cool that you saw Jon Mayer and Jennifer in Indy! And even cooler that they shared your good taste in a lunch location. 🙂

    I feel your frustration in the poo, someone left a nice pile on the sidewalk in front of my house. So rude.

  41. you know…you are getting quite famous yourself. being on tv and all. i’m sure jennifer and john were wishing they had their cameras!

    john – look jen, isn’t that casey?

    jen – oh my gosh it is! from moosh in indy.

    john – where is the camera? we need proof!

    jen – i forgot it! i can’t believe i forgot the camera. maybe one of these nice people can email us a picture so we can show it as proof that we actually saw casey, live and in person.

    john – oh i hope so. nobody will believe us otherwise.

    jen – and would you look at her hair. it looks even better in person than it did on her blog.

    john – i know. girls everywhere want her hair. i would love if you got the “casey” haircut.

    jen – i know. i totally should!

    ahhh…the life of a celebrity!

    I agree that owners should pickup after their dogs but the more dog walkers the better:

    You should be thankful for dog walkers.

    Dog walkers and dogs are the most reliable and inexpensive security resource in society. With their daily presence in our parks and on our nature trails, they are the eyes and ears of the community, frequently the first to discover crime and consistently a deterrent to it. We should be encouraging the presence of dog walkers and their dogs rather than implementing public policies that restrict and prohibit them.

  47. When we went on our honeymoon back in 2003, Brad Pitt was filming “Troy” in Cabo. Turns out Jennifer Anniston, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette were ALL staying at our hotel. I didn’t have the cajones to say anything to any of them! There was this tool in the pool who kept trying to bust in on Courtney’s game of “Marco Polo” that she was playing with some kids. Only pic I got was where I “pretended” to photo my new hubby and got them in the background- but you can’t even tell who they are!

    Brad was wearing a pink headband. She should have left him then!

    PS to buffyvandabailey- J.Anniston was eating nachos at a table side pool in a string bikini. Not a fat roll in site. *sigh*

  48. Too cool I’ve met two Indy 500 winners but that’s to be expected in INDY! But, JenJohn? Shocker. I have often wondered what I would do if I saw someone of this caliber. Probably just stand off at a distance and watch them. I would be too “cool” to walk up to ask for an autograph. Still don’t know if it is worth the dog poo but I guess it is better than nothing, right?
