Simon Pegg Likes My Shirt

Simon Pegg likes my shirt!

Yeah, I know, you're shocked I even know who he is. But moving on...

So, I was sitting at SXSW, watching an interview with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Between takes, I caught Mr. Pegg staring at my chest, after which he gave me a thumbs up and mouthed something inaudible that looked almost like "amen." "What?" I mouthed. "Amen to the shirt," he said. "Ah thanks," I said, then turned to my friend to find out if he knew who the cute (and funny) blonde chest-starer was.

After the interview, I took him a few gifts from my friend's Atheism Store, (a couple of buttons and a card that lets people know you prefer not to be prayed over or given last rites, etc in case you are ripped apart in an accident or something.) He was mildly appreciative, took the swag and said, "Watch Paul." "I started rambling about having seen the trailer the night before. He interrupted and said again, "Watch Paul. There's a thread there."

So, I haven't seen Paul yet, but I most certainly will if only to find out about Simon Pegg's cryptic inference that there is an anti-religious sub-plot or reference or something. Or maybe I'll find out he was just trying to tell me I had a string hanging from my sleeve.
