Twitter: "lame claims to fame" involving Rufus

[GreenEyesToo]

It seems quite a few people have come across Rufus in the past, as indicated by a series of "lame claims to fame" on Twitter:

~ I went out with Rufus Sewell for about a week when I was 17

~ Rufus Sewell once tripped over my feet on the tube and said 'F**k!' very loudly.

~ Rufus Sewell grabbed my leg when I was an extra in a production of cold comfort fame at The Watermill Theatre in the 80s

~ I once took a boiling hot tea bag off Rufus Sewell as he couldn't find the bin in my branch of Costa.

~ Once shared a black cab with completely legless Rufus Sewell.

Some of these seem to be from his rather more wild days!

I can imagine this one GE2 as being probably quite accurate!!!! ;D

Yup, my exact thoughts eleanor. Can you imagine bumping into him on your way to work.....

[judypatooty]

Heck. If I spotted him on the tube, I'd stick my foot out just so I could trip him! (And help him up, of course!) LOL!

Yes maz, you'd want to turn it in to a sort of 'extended wrestle' wouldn't you? Pretending to get all caught up in his arms!!

legless. hmm. interesting.

[wichiwoman]

I think I'd fake not being able to breathe, fall into his arms, and hope he gives me mouth-to-mouth. Or I'd fake choking, fall into his arms and hope he gives me the heimlick (sp?) Somehow, someway, I'd make sure I fell into his arms!!

My luck he would probably just drop me and say "Ewww!"

"...a completely legless Rufus..." Pul-leeze!!

[GreenEyesToo]

Does "legless" mean the same in Canada and the US as in the UK? Here it means very drunk - as in so drunk can't stand up any longer.

[francesca]

If he was legless ,I would try to hold him up and as he is 6ft and I am 5'2 we would end up on the floor.Would I take advantage of a helples roofie ?? you bet I would!!!!!

[vmaciv]

I guess the pussy cat with the pajama like hat says it all for the "legless" sighting. Perhaps the pussy cat her the night cap over his/her eyes.

[wichiwoman]

I don't think "legless" means the same here in the US. Here it's taken literally. That comment does make more sense now! Yeah, I can see that happening.

[peach]

If he in fact was legless, I'd invite him back to my place for a hot cup of coffee, and then who knows. Take advantage..................perhaps.

[GreenEyesToo]

Oh, Peach, Peach...*shakes head sadly*...and I had you down as one of the good girls.

(And, hey stranger, welcome back!)

[peach]

Thanks GE2, been reading POTE, quite addicting, can't put it down and there have been many late nights reading. I'm savoring every page. And BTW, what gave you the idea that I was one of the good girls?

What I mean is I would in my most able way, gently "nurse" him back to health and if say something else occurred who am I to stop it. How can one resist? Would you???

[numbat]

ROFLMFAO!!!!

You girls crack me up!!!! That comment would make NO sense whatsoever if you didn't understand what legless meant!!!! That's absolutely priceless ;D

My favourite one is the teabag!!! Can't you just imagine him wandering around looking for a bin Just leave it in the saucer Rufus!!!!
