Well that was an interesting... sequence...
He thinks pisces only happen once in a thousand years? Huh... I wasn't aware that there was some period 9 months earlier in the year where NO ONE has sex. Somehow I think that if the statistics backed that up, there's be some pretty striking info about it.
As for the rest, I could say something like you may have misremembered due to being drunk and/or tired and/or that tends to be the human condition to begin with. I could say maybe that guy figured it out by talking to other people at the party. I could point out that the part about "Someone needs your help, find this person, fast" is generic enough to apply to pretty much everyone. I COULD do all that, but instead I'll just say I really don't know how he did that or how accurate the story is, but if my choice is "it's probably explained by something mundane" or "last night at a party someone completely changed our knowledge of the laws of physics", I know what I'm putting my money on.
LA? Isn't that the place they dump Star Trek guys when they want to make a joke about standing out less by wearing their uniforms? Kill whoever's responsible for those new-agey McDonald's happy meal commercials lately. I know that person is from there. Mountain Ram? That uh.... that sounds aweful. Taste the cloven hoof!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
