show some consideration for the poor guy's efforts- let him finish filling up the tank and washing the windshield before you start driving away.

I came within 5 feet of Tiger Woods while walking to the next hole at the 2000 Dubai Classic.

I exposed myself to one of the Olsen twins. I swear to God she was legal when I did it.

I met Micheal Jordan in London in the 80's, I rode an elevator with Kareem Abdul Jabbar, I met MCA from the Beastie Boys in Thailand in 95 , I sat in front of Ice T and his wife Darlene( the one in the bathingsuit on the cover of the POWER album) on a flight to Maui and spoke to them in the terminal -also bumped into him on the street in Vancouver , I said hello to Bob Hope on the golf course in Van.,... and one time in Maui ,late 80's,my buddies and I were playing a big touch football game on the beach with some other people and Magyver was hanging out on the beach alone.He approached us and asked to join the game, so we let him sub in . He was a regular dude and seemed like a good athelete.

I watched my friend almost run over Swayze and his huge family--mullet, leather jacket and all.

I also tried to "grind" on Tanya Harding one night at a bar here. Apparently she didn't dig my sticato bursts of pelvic thrusts aimed at her big ol' booty. Or so I'm told by those who witnessed the sad turn of events.

I think I scared Peter Falk out of a bar in NYC one night a while back. I had been watching alot of Columbo at the time, was pretty wasted, and couldn't believe he was standing at the next table. I guess I spooked him a bit =stalker=, he quickly made an exit out the back door....

I met Queen Sylvia of Sweden when I was a wee lad. No dice on her daughters, however.

I'd hit it ... two time.

**Duker** · 09-28-2004, 05:17 PM

I think I may have seen Kenny rogers in SLC once....

Could have just been one of these dudes though ....

Rudy came to my high school to give a motivational speech. He said that one day Joe Montana wanted to quit the team at ND and he talked him out of it. I thought he was a panzy.

I hung out with Shawn Mullins after one of his shows once too.

**FLEX** · 09-28-2004, 06:01 PM

I also thought I saw Art Garfunkle once.........I was with a few friends having some drinks at a restaurant , and I was telling them I had spotted Art Garfunkle......so I walked over to his table and realized it was just some dude with a semi big nose ,a receding hairline and an afro.

**Ubersheist** · 09-28-2004, 06:21 PM

I saw LL Cool J at a Hardrock once. My buddy got a dumb-ass picture with him in a boxer's pose (it was right about when that "Knock You Out" song was really big).

I met Lemmie Killmeister (of Motorhead) once. I asked him how his day was going. I couldn't understand a word he said other then "booze."

I met Ogre (from the Revenge of the Nerds movies) once at a TGI Friday's. None of us knew who he was, we just referred to him as Ogre. He was actually very cool about it, said he didn't mind it at all because it got him a paycheck.

Me and a friend ran into Nikko Whatshisfacedrummer and Steve Harris of Iron Maiden when we were pretty young. We got all dumb and giddy. They gave us a quick "thanks for buying our records," and then high tailed it away from us. I don't blame them.

A few weeks ago when I was in St.L for my grandma's funeral Russell Simmons stayed at the same hotel as me. Awhile ago I got to hang out at a bar with the lead singer of Sevendust after a show here in Lawrence. Seen, plenty more people, but these were the closest contacts. I've never been starstruck though. They are people afterall, they are just seen alot.

I tried to entice Queen Latifah into a drag race at a traffic light about a month ago. Pfft, Aston Martin...

You're lucky. Jenny Garth was in town for a personal appearance and afterwards she came over to the tv station (small independent, then FOX affiliate) where I worked in my life before kids to do promos. I was on camera and accidently called her "Kelly" who was her character on 90210. Man, if looks could kill, I would have dropped dead. Whatta biatch.
