How Howie Mandel Stole from Me 
With the actor/comedian Howie Mandel having his new game show Deal or No Deal I thought it would be the perfect time to let the whole world know HOW HOWIE MANDEL STOLE FROM ME. Well technically I gave it to him, but here goes.
Occasionally in Kamloops we get famous people who stop by to give shows or performances. Working at a hotel sometimes these famous people will stay the night at the hotel I work at. So one summer Howie Mandel came to Kamloops to perform some stand-up comedy and he stayed at the Hotel I work at. At the time I was not employed at the hotel, but my two older brothers were. I was probably between the ages of 13 to 16. I thought it would be really cool to get his autograph since he did the voice for Gizmo in Gremlins and played a lovable monster in the film Little Monsters. I just so happened to have the novelization of the Little Monsters movie that I got through one of those school book orders.
That's one thing I really missed about elementary school, the book orders. I always loved to get movie books, but the funny thing is I never read any of them. I just liked having the books. If you don't know anything about Little Monsters it could sort of be described as a live action Monsters Inc from the 80's with Fred Savage. In the film Howie plays a monster, so he is heavily in make-up through the film. The book I had just so happened to have some pictures from the film and some really good ones of Howies makeup.
So I thought what better thing to get autographed than this book. So my brothers gave the book to the front desk guy so he could get it autographed by Howie when he returned from his nights performance. So I get a call that night from Frank (the front desk guy). Apparently Howie had never seen this item before in his life and thought that it was really cool. Howie wanted to know if he could have it. So I agreed that he could have it. I was told that in return that he might send me something. The worlds were not that he will but he might. And after all this time I still haven't received anything. The only thing I'm left with is this story about how Howie Mandel now has my book that even has my name in it. So if you ever read this post Howie I still want my autograph or swing it so I can be on your show.
My story is not quite done yet. I had a friend who worked at, At Second Glance the used book store and one day she came across a copy of the book Little Monsters. An exact copy of the one I gave Howie and she was nice enough to give me this copy to replace the one that I gave away. What a great little story.
