Bill Murray and Hello Kitty

Editor: We’d like to thank Erin for her Bill Murray Story!

About 10 years ago I was at a nail salon in Sparkill, NY getting a manicure with my Aunt. We were the only ones there until this scruffy unkempt man [who was Bill Murray] came in with a pretty younger woman. He was wearing a torn and stained New Orleans Saints sweatshirt and sat down to get a manicure and a pedicure. This wouldn’t be too odd really except that this place was called Kitty Nails and EVERYTHING inside was Hello Kitty themed. The clocks, the chairs, the lights, everything. I guess Bill likes Hello Kitty. Unfortunately, the place is called Gloria Nails now and I don’t know if he still goes there if the kitsch of Hello Kitty is gone.

A Dose of His Own Medicine

We would like to thank Tony J for contributing his Bill Murray Story

A few years ago, I was in a little pizza joint in Little Italy, in the Bronx. I was sitting at the counter with my brother, and we had just gotten our slices. We were about to dig in when we saw who of all people? Bill Murray sitting in the corner eating some sort of pasta dish with a bag of unopened chips.

Now, my brother has a few friends in Hollywood, and he had heard of the strange things Bill Murray liked doing to unsuspecting strangers. So my brother figured he’d give Bill a taste of his own medicine.

He walked up to Bill, picked up his bag of chips, opened it, took one, ate it, and said to him “No one will ever believe YOU!” And walked away.

Bill sat stunned for about three seconds, before bursting out into raucous laughter and coming over to give my brother a big hug and a 50-dollar bill for having the balls to do it.

I’ll never forget it.

Hamburgers with Bill

We would like to thank Blake for his Bill Murray story.

As I go to pick up my friend from work at In-N-Out (a west coast burger chain). I find myself ordering behind Bill Murray. Surprised that I am the only one that recognized him. He goes to sit down after ordering his food and I ask to join him. He gave a nod of agreement.

Sitting across from Bill Murray, we talked about life. He opened my eyes and showed me the true meaning of life. He got up and said “it was my honor to meet him.” Then he said “Don’t bother telling anyone our conversation, no one will ever believe you.”

No one has ever believed my story.

A Nets Game with Bill

We would like to thank Ali for her Bill Murray Story.

When I was about  10 years old, my dad took me to see a Nets game. He had gotten these amazing seats from work about 5 rows from the court. As soon as we sat down, my dad noticed Bill sitting about 4 rows directly in front of us.

A few minutes into the game, a food vendor selling cookies was walking up and down he isle. Bill stopped the vendor and bought about 5 cookies. He then stood up, looked around the crowd, and threw one directly at my head.

My dad and everyone else around us laughed hysterically and I just sat there staring blankly, confused and slightly embarrassed. He then sat down and acted like nothing happened and ate the rest of his cookies.

Now that I’m older, I can appreciate the humor in Bill Murray throwing a cookie at a 10 year old girl’s head in public.
