moosh in indy.

July 4, 2008

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)

Indiana is no place for children.

Comments off.

holy crap. that sucks.

but jennifer aniston? and john mayer? sweet. totally looking forward to the proof, though i believe you without it;)

erins last blog post..i’m tired.

oooh that’s exciting! not the poop part, that sucks, if it were one of my girls there would have been some pretty shrill screaming happening.

Caseys last blog post..break over.

So Jealous!

Happy Red White and Boom – July 4th

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 )

You could’ve sold that photo to Perez Hilton for…nothing!

What were they doing in IN I wonder? That sounds pretty fun. Makes a great story too.

WOW !!! any ideas on why they were in your local ??

feeners last blog post..Vacation….

This is the best thing I have read all day. I am glad your child stepped in poo.

Rhis last blog post..Friday Bullets! On a Thursday!

Holy crow! Sweet!

Reeses last blog post..Dear Husbands,

Wow! Where is Shapiro’s? And what are those two doing in Indy?!?!?

Debbies last blog post..All We Know of Heaven

John Mayer has a concert at Verizon tomorrow.

Shapiro’s is awesome! We eat there whenever we go down to Indy. Love the matzo ball soup.

Carmel or Downtown location?

Looks like John Mayer’s summer tour includes Indi. Do you have tickets for his event tomorrow night?

Darlas last blog post..Wave your flag cheesecake by Kraft

Dying to know – what was Jennifer wearing and what did they eat? I know, I know, I’m rude and invasive, but gee, I wanna know. Thanks for sharing your sighting.

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?

Hippo Brigades last blog post..Happy Frickin’ 4th!

Alright, that’s just ridiculous. I’ve lived in or around Indy basically my entire life and have eaten at said Shapiros numerous times and I have never seen anyone remotely famous or been on tv. No fair!!

Jeanelles last blog post..The day my son smashed a lamp over my head

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?

count me among the jealous. crazy! why is it that celebrities make us all so giddy?

Kets last blog post..Such a wordsmith I am

But the real question – was the pastrami good?

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!

SuzyQs last blog post..Happy 4th of July!

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.

Oh my god, I love the dog crap to John Mayer segue. Love it!

Rachaels last blog post..Haiku Friday: Gay Marriage Makes Me Cry

OHMYSWEETJESUS! Shapiros, John Mayer AND myfavoriteFriendJenniferAnniston? Shut. Up. I am completely jealous! I love them all three…and there they were – in my hometown – TOGETHER!

I love the corned beef on rye…and their pickles are TO DIE FOR. Seriously.

Katies last blog post..I Love the Eighties…

What the random? Was the random celebrity sighting worth the poopiness?

Barb @ getupandplays last blog post..Incredible SYTYCD numbers!

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?

Can’t wait to see those pics!

Missys last blog post..The Fourth

Were you wearing your lucky blogging shirt?

Sigh. The ONE time I decide to fly to Chicago instead of drive, which would have place me in Indy at lunchtime…

Kims last blog post..I am thankful…

Sigh. The ONE time I decide to fly to Chicago instead of drive, which would have place me in Indy at lunchtime…

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.

Annas last blog post..Beautiful Day: 3

The last celebrity I ran into was MC Hammer. So to say that I’m jealous would be an understatement.

Love love love Shapiro’s! And is John Mayer really as freakishly tall as he looks in pictures?

Sarah @ Ordinary Dayss last blog post..Every Girl Should Have…

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 **** on my stuff.

VDogs last blog post..From the VDog School of Cracker Home Repair

TGFPoo!

kristis last blog post..Why, hello there

Oh you lucky duck. Praise dog poop you got to scope out Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer.

Jesss last blog post..No one was harmed in the making of these photos.

With blog titles like that you should be employed by some major news corp.

I love John Mayer & Jennifer Anniston. I’m so jealos.

I am SOOOOOO with you on the poop. SERIOUSLY. Poor moosh covered in poo!

Debbies last blog post..S – M – R – T, Sex-ay, but has bad hair.

Very cool story…and yes, Shapiro’s rocks!

Toast 2 Moms last blog post..Happy Birthday America!

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.

indykaris last blog post..rain or shine, i love July 4th

Hate. dog. poop. Don’t get me started. Why do so many people have to walk their dogs on the school grounds and not pick up after them?

I can’t wait to see the picture of Jen and John!

threeundertwos last blog post..July 4th Accident: Send Get Well Wishes Please!

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!

natalies last blog post..Over-indulgence in all things American!

Haha! Too funny. So did they look like their pics?

And how the heck do Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer know about a dumpy good eats place???

Anths last blog post..Some Brief Reviews

So.jealous. Totally worth a little poo. More details please.

Happy Red White and Boom – July 4th

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.

A Tired Dog is a Happy Dog!!

dude.

you are charmed.

in a pootastic sort of way

biddys last blog post..I’m Almost Speechless…Almost

So my question is, was she actually eating anything? Or did she limit herself to a pickle?

buffyvandabaileys last blog post..Oh, the shame of it: A journey through Buffy’s musical tastes

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*

Amys last blog post..Sunglasses

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?

Mandys last blog post..Yard Sale. Seriously?

Holy cow we eat there all the time and have never ever seen Jennifer Aniston OR John Mayer. We have seen the enormous piles of pastrami, however – almost as good. And the free cookies for the kiddos. But wow, what were they doing in Indianapolis of all places?

R. U. F’in. Me? Oh my holy crap…literally and figuratively. Holy friggin smokes. Hott I tell you. Hott. It was meant to be.

Kims last blog post..Dear Scale:

Were you at the Shapiros downtown? I recently moved to Indy from NYC and it’s nice to hear that there is still the potential for celeb sightings.

Whats wrong with the southside location????
That is the original Shapiro’s and the best. Were they w/ anyone else? John’s front of house engineer (and best friend)is from Indy. John Mayer Rocks!

You’re so lucky. Okay, maybe lucky doesn’t apply to loads of dog poo all over your daughter, but it does apply to celebrity sightings. I haven’t seen a celebrity around here since 1998 when I was Robert Redford – and he’s just a wrinkly old prune! Fun for you. I’d keep eating there if I were you!

I dunno… I’ve compared John Mayer’s music to a pile of crap before, so maybe it all makes sense.

Ohhhh, I’m so jealous. So, did they look happy? Was she actually eating?

She Likes Purples last blog post..There We Were, Here We Are

very cool…well, the jennifer and John sighting and good eats part anyway!

staciesmadnesss last blog post..*yawn*

I work for a company that produces large scale shows (used to own the Indy home show)- which include large, high-end antique shows. Apparently John is a antique jewelry/watch collector- one of the dealers he works with exhibits at our Miami show and he’s come through there and our Vegas show to buy. Very very friendly, always willing to sign autographs, calls ahead to alert security, etc. I missed his visit to our Miami show by a few hours- I was so crushed! I did get a copy of his show badge though- they made him wear one so that he could get in to the show floor without being hassled (because it was before show hours and it was not public buying time). There have to be 50 copies of his badge floating around now. . .

WOW!!! That’s quite a story! From poop to celebrities in an hour, woohoo!
