Growing up around celebs and playing doctor with guys who regularly appear in PEOPLE or on the cover of the National Enquirer has perhaps made my cynical of those who seek respect because they happened to "see" some famous person in a mall parking lot.
There was another thread dissing designer clothes. The middle class loves to play both sides. In one thread complaining that designer clothes are a waste and then in another thread bragging about being an extra in a crowd scene of some movie which featured Kiefer Sutherland. And then, making value judgments about celebrities or else making value judgments about posters on this board. Maybe I am a princess. Or maybe I'm just a skirt with a mouth. But at least I don't need to resort to insulting others to make a point. |

| I shouted "Go,Tiger!!" at Tiger Woods at the final round of the 2005 British Open. I'm sure he heard me, and it might have been the little inspiration he needed to push on and win the tournament. |

Yes dude. We get it. You are the illegitimate kid of some celeb (Lennon?). We all know now. Ok. Congrats!

Hahahaha...you're right. I'm just a hypocritical, terrible person because I don't like spending a lot of money on clothes but I like campy stories about meeting celebrities.
You got me. I'm crying middle class tears of sorrow right now.

Wow, you gotta be older than ME, and that's saying something, haha. Half of those people are dead, I think, many from natural causes ...

Let's see here, who have I met.
When I was 6, I met Andre the Giant at Heathrow airport...All I remember about that was looking up into a moving wall. He was really friendly though, and took a photo of me sitting on his shoulder.
When I co-oped for a local newspaper in Canada, I spoke to Tie Domi (now retired NHL player) quite a few times....each time he was a giant asshole.
Met George Romero (director of the orginal "Night of the living dead", among others), he was incredibly kind and friendly
Met Roddy Piper at a bookstore...he was SO friendly, and seemed genuinly moved that people took the time to talk to him
Alice Cooper outside of a Detroit Tigers game...was friendly enough, but his "security" was a bunch of dicks.
Saw David Beckham and his wife (fucking Posh Spice...lol) in a mall in Manchester...wasn't able to talk to them (not that I would want to, lol) due to the security.
Met Bret Hart at a wrestling show...that was very cool. He was very gracious.
Was at a nightclub in Detroit with my ex (we were celebrating a friend's birthday), when I noticed Shaun Rodgers (player for the Detroit Lions) in the club...didn't think anything of it, until we went to pay the bill and found out that he paid for it. Apparently he was "taken" by one of my ex's friends, asked someone about her and was told she was there for a birthday..so he just decided to grab the tab.
Met Jimmy Carter at a Habitat for Humanity build.
Was walking through Cobo Hall in Detroit (a convention center that connects to Joe Louis Arena, where the Detroit Red Wings play), when I saw someone walking towards me, he said hello and nodded, I did the same, before realizing that it was Mick Foley (a pro wrestler).
I know I have a few more, but those are the ones that leap out right now. |
