I was telling Se7en a few of my showbiz stories and we saw an ad on TV for “Star Trek, The Next Generation.” I started laughing and he asked me what was up.
Lisa’s Version: What Really Happened
I was living in LA and drove to Silver Lake, (a suburb of LA,) to work with my then business partner. I parked my car across the street from her house and got out. She was standing outside and waved. I waved back and started to cross the street. Suddenly a Jaguar going about 50 miles an hour came tearing up the street. I stepped back in the knick of time and barely missed being hit head-on. I yelled at the driver and then joined my friend. After she asked if I was ok, she started to laugh.
Me – “What’s so funny?”
Business Partner – “You know who almost hit you?”
Me – “Nope but what an asshole. He darn near took me out.”
BP – “That was Captain Jean-Luc Picard” of the Starship Enterprise aka Patrick Stewart.”
Me – “He should be more careful, if he HAD hit me, I would have owned his Jaguar, his Starship and all his future residuals.”
se7en’s version: Writers Embellishment
I was living on planet LA, when I flew out to Silver Lake Moon to meet my then business partner. Just as I was about to make my descent into the atmosphere I was nearly crushed head-on by a huge freekin’ starship streaking across in low orbit. Good thing I had my shields up and used my anti-gravity drive at the last moment or we would have collided and crashed to the surface of the nearby moon! I brought up the view screen and opened a channel to yell at the idiot ships captain and it turned out to be Picard on the Starship Enterprise. “Picard, you bastard!” I yelled, “good thing you missed me or I would be shooting photon torpedoes up your ass right now!”
well, you know, you can take your revenge and fire photon torpedoes up someone’s ass or you can take it to court — the Federation court. cause you’ve got damages coming your way and just be sure your lawyer isn’t a Ferengi — gotta watch out for that.
I must say I like se7en’s version better, hehe.
Set enemas to “stun”.
Well, it’s not a competition LisaB.
But if it were a competition, I’d have some bad news for you . . .
No fair! Se7 got to be the funny one and I was the straight man…um so to speak
And I don’t “speak” Trekkie/Trekker/Klingon hehe.
Lisa, have no fear, i really suspect there is a trekkie in you trying desparately to get out.
That was a cute story, LB..
I wouldn’t mess with Patrick Stewart. He may be a wheelchair-bound cripple, but he has freaky Mind Powers.
Hehehehehe
Funny….. You could’ve owned a piece of Patrick Stewart….. D’ya’know how jealous I’d be if it were true? LOL
Good one!
Ohhhhh no. Please tell me it wasn’t sexy bald Patrick Stewart. He just couldn’t have done something like that! If only it had been Jonathan Frakes, or Brent Spiner, or that wimpy Wil Wheaton. Not that I’m a Trekkie or anything, of course.
I love Se7en’s version. I wonder if Patrick Stewart might have been the mysterious “Dietrich” who was allegedly driving that Ferrari Enzo that cracked up on Pacific Coast Highway going 120 or so around Malibu on Tuesday.

hahahahahahahaha I love the two different versions!
However, if he HAD hit you, you’d have more than just everything of his….he’d also would have to be made into your bitch, as your injuries would prevent you from doing much
No matter what, he’s still an asshole for driving that way.
This would be great on Lettermans ‘Close encounters with the rich and famous.’
LOL – you two are seriously funny.
Patrick Stewart was a hottie back in the day…
Well it could have been worse, you could have been hit and not been here to share the story with us and then have Se7en re-write the story for us.
Talk about your brushes with fame!
What was Picard doing in Silver Lake, I wonder?
what a rip. I never get almost run over by famous people.
lol
I love that story.
I always wished I could run into Jean Luc Picard and yell at him “THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE!”
Haha!!! Too funny. That would have been interesting watching you explain what happened…….
I have never been much of a “Trekky”, but I do understand the obsession behind it. I have shows that I’m obsessed with as well.
Funny story!
Enjoy your weekend—it’s gonna be a cold one! Bundle up!!!
What, no “Make It So”?
LOL…yeah, I love the Trekkie version too. I dont know why. Maybe it’s because it’s beyond nerd, it’s funny. Whatever. But yeah, wouldnt that have been so cool, if a celebrity crippled you? I mean, dont get me wrong, I’m glad you got to live long and prosper, but still, wouldnt it have been cool?
OK, next time Seven gets to be the straightman! Great post, you guys. I’m digging the tag team blogging!
You know how us guys are…We’re always trying to one upmanship ya….lol
Am I the only woman that finds him slightly attractive? Okay, nevermind.
Hey I remember that Jag ol’ Patrick had. When I lived in Pasadena I used to go mountain biking from this campground near Mt. Lowe. Long story short, I was waiting on my buds, and this Jag pulls up and Patrick Stewart jumps out with his dog for a walk. A lab I think.
Another Patrick Stewart story: a good friend of mine’s then father-in-law is great buddies of Jay Leno. Car fanatics. Anyway, I’ve been to a few Tonight Shows up close and personal, back stage, etc, etc. One of the times was when Patrick Stewart was a guest. Talked to him back stage. I didn’t bring up the mountain bike incident. I think we hassled him, or something like that.
Crazy small world huh?
