I met Mark Cuban tonight

[Dante84]

Walking around downtown during SXSWinteractive, and I come up to a crosswalk, waiting for the light.

I glance to my left, and there's Cubes, chilling in a Tshirt and sunglasses, right next to me.

He glances over at the same time and I'm like, "Hi Mark, nice to meet you." He smiles back and says, "Nice to meet you, too man." Just a normal, nice dude.

We keep walking and he turns down the block. My girlfriend goes "Was that a friend of yours?"

"No sweetie, that is the richest man you'll ever meet in your life."
"What??"

She nearly shit a brick when I told her he was a multi-billionaire, with a "B," and we had the obligatory hypothetical discussion regarding indecent proposals.

All in all, a good night.

[Dante84]

Indeed, a cool story, my bros.

[OldSchool]

Cool.

[digger]

Your girlfriend wants to fuck Mark Cuban.

[TLO]

I'd let Mark Cuban fuck my girl, but he's gotta pay.

Like you'd have a choice

[Lonewolf Ed]

Yeah? You brought me cookies once. That was more special for me! :)

[TLO]

Like you'd have a choice

I just asked her if she knows who Mark Cuban was. She said she thinks he is a famous cigar manufacturer. I'm not sure whether to laugh, cry, or kick her out of my place.

Just let Cuban snort coke off her tits instead.

[threebag]

What's happening in Russia?

[eDave]

Like you'd have a choice

Or a girlfriend.

[DaneMcCloud]

Or a girlfriend.

LMAO

Dave, Dave, Dave...

[Deberg_1990]

True story or no?

[Jewish Rabbi]

Love the Cubes. Not that I ever have, or ever will, meet him, but as described in your story, he seems like a regular dude.

[Dante84]

Your girlfriend wants to **** Mark Cuban.

If you have one, she does too.

[Dante84]

Yeah? You brought me cookies once. That was more special for me! :)

MY MAN!

[TLO]

Or a girlfriend.

:(

[Dante84]

True story or no?

Go start a thread about paint drying

[eDave]

:(

LMAO Sorry man. It was a meatball pitch.

[Saccopoo]

You know, you really didn't "meet" him. A dude standing next to you at a crosswalk that looks like some dude you think is some dude (hell, might even be that dude, but lest we forget the Guy Fieri incident at Kaufman stadium...) is not a "nice to meet you man" situation.

"Nice to meet you man." is a conversation about something, a chat, a something other than standing next to some dude on the street.

[mdchiefsfan]

I'm a Dallas Mavericks fan, and a huge fan of what Cuban brings to sports. The man is a genius, but a genuine guy at the same time.

Is it really that unbelievable? I didn't say I went to Narnia or anything.

I work in Software sales; my vertical is sports. I live in Texas. I know who Mark Cuban is and what he looks like. I said nice to meet you. He said it back.

Then Sir Thomas introduced me to the White Witch and she gave me Turkish delights.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Cuban has stink Dirk

You should have sold him some of your buggy sports software like a shark tank pitch

[Dante84]

Sports clubs have the same business software needs as other organizations, I simply sell into that vertical.

Although it would be fun to slang that stat-based stuff that John Dorsey buys.

Minimum requirements for "meet" are shaking hands and exchanging a few words.
It counts.

[Psyko Tek]

Indeed, a cool story, my bros.

are you sure, you may need to ask more bros

I don't believe Saccopoo was doubting that it was Mark Cuban. He was questioning whether recognizing the man qualifies as enough to say nice to meet you. He's wrong (per usual), but that was the gist of his post.


I say congrats on meeting the man. I ate my first authentic cuban sandwich the other day, if you see him again let him know that's a hell of a sandwich he has named after him.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

You should have turned him onto CP.

He would become obsessed and lose interest in all his ventures and gain 100 pounds.

Anyway we need more Billionaires on this site so we can explain to them that it's normal to have a 5.17 inch penis.

[BigMeatballDave]

Hell, I'd fuck Mark Cuban and I don't really like touching my own dick.

[ptlyon]

... and I don't really like touching my own dick.

That's what I have minions for

[DaKCMan AP]

"Hi Mark, nice to meet you."

Really? That's what you went with?

[Why Not?]

You did better than the time I met Chuck Lidell. It was in an elevator at the MGM Grand like a week before one of his fights. His name and picture were plastered all over the hotel and city. What comes out of my mouth? With 0 sarcasm, "hey man, you look really familiar to me"

So what software do you sell?

[GloucesterChief]

Now, that makes me meeting and talking to Richard Garriott at SXSW pale in comparison.

Wow, that's pretty bad. He's not really common looking. Did you forget your glasses that day?

He probably thought it was a funny joke though.

[CapsLockKey]

Should have asked him how his investment in Tacos EBDB turned out.

[lewdog]

If I ever met Cuban I'd tell him to buy the Royals. I wouldn't ask him, I'd tell him.

[Titty Meat]

I'd tell him he has a nice cawk

[Rain Man]

"Hi Mark, nice to meet you."

Really? That's what you went with?


If he had gone with "Hi Eric, nice to meet you", it would have been rude.

I would have gone with, "So how many United Nations members are represented in tonight's lineup of concubines for you?"

[Why Not?]

Wow, that's pretty bad. He's not really common looking. Did you forget your glasses that day?

Totally just had a brain freeze. He was cool and laughed it off. Then I beat the fuck out of him

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Mark was like meh I'll let him have her

[GloucesterChief]

If I ever met Cuban I'd tell him to buy the Royals. I wouldn't ask him, I'd tell him.

I believe he wanted to buy the Cubs and the other MLB owners didn't want him in the league.

[TribalElder]

Should have been like, oh hey mark, *hand him your card* , next time your in KC give me a call and I will buy you a Z Man sandwich at joes Kansas city
