Running into celebrities.

[Pett]

Have any stories about running into/seeing/meeting celebrities in random places? And I'm not talking concerts folks. Unless you met them & how were they? Were they assh0les?

I've only ran into two "famous people."

Mike Jones & his "gang" sat right next to my family and I at the food court in La Guardia while we were in N.Y. Seemed kind of nice. I just asked for a picture with him and he obliged.

While I was in Miami while walking around a shopping area Shakira came out of a store with a bunch of security who escorted her to the 'burb.

I guess I've just been unlucky with spotting celebrities while on vaca.

Anyone care to share?

Dan Majerle and Joe Klein in Aggieville.
Jerry Seeman - former NFL referee in motel in New Mexico
Some dude that worked in the Patriots front office and had a Super Bowl ring that was pretty sweet lookin'.

I was at this golf course and every player on the PGA tour walked by where I was sitting, all in one day.  I know, weird.    I did play golf in the group directly behind Alice Cooper and his gang one time.   I had a beer with Red Green back in the early 80's, before I knew who he was.  I channeled the ghost of Adolf Hitler once.

Oh yeah?  Well I went hunting with Dick Cheney!

And came home successfully without bullet holes in your side.

I saw Howie Mandel in LA. I didn't approach him, because, well, it's only Howie Mandel.

saw barry sanders in an airport once. drank some beer with cody canada. met one of the pilots that flew one of the "little birds" during the whole "blackhawk down" situation in somalia.

I have been on the same flight as James Earl Jones, Buck O'Neil. 

Might have seen Patrice Oneal sitting outside a restaurant in New Jersey last week.  Wasn't sure though.    (edit: hey, look at that, he lives in NJ.  There ya go.)

Jeb Bush held a door open for me at a movie theater.  I said, "HAPPY NEW YEAR, GOVERNOR!"  I think he kind of rolled his eyes at me.  I'm not mad at him, though.  He held the door for me!

(It was the outer door.  I don't know what movie he saw.)

Funny you say King and hate to one up you.  Handsome Harley Race is my gem.  He became known as the "King" later in his career but will always be Handsome to me.  Saw him in a bar/restaurant (shocker) and went up to get his autograph.  He was with a wife/gf and he glared at me like he wanted to pal drive my head into the table.  He did end up giving me his autograph though but I often think that would have made for a good story if he actually did put a sleeper hold or something.

No way, The King is Jerry Lawler, PERIOD.  And a story to go with it so that you know who is who around here where it comes to celebs.  Both you and SD need to listen up.

Memphis, Tenn.  Jerry is being introduced and walking up to the ring when two of my buds jump the rope and take him on.  That's right, one had him in a head lock while the other was pounding his guts (faking it just like they do of course), enter security from everydamnwhere and right out the f'n door we go.  Had people booing, throwing stuff at us, it was thing of beauty.  So, we get outside and this drunk spouts something to one of the guys, words are exchanged, but he walks off to his car and so do we.  As we are sitting in the car (van) we see this tard bring a baseball bat out of his trunk, walk over to a car just down from us and start beating the crap out of it.  We laugh and laugh until we realize he intended that for us.  Uh huh buddy, now it's really on!   He gets beaten to a pulp and one of my buds get a knife in the gut, not too bad, but off to hospital we go.

Dumb story imo.  Doc Sadler would have ripped that guys head off and s#!t down his neck-hole because that's what Doc does to chumps like that guy and yourself. 

I mean, you don't even want to know what Doc would have done to me if he'd caught me filming this.  Should be a MonsterQuest episode imo.

george brett.  i umpired a game that was one of his sons'.  he's actually not an asshole like many believe, he would go over to the other team and give them tips for batting and such.  really cool guy imo.

Wrong.  Thanksgiving Dinner at the Brett residence featured his wife accidently sitting on his hand and him whining/bitching about it for the rest of the evening causing the large group of attendees (some barely connected to family) to be uncomfortable and pissed. 

[KSt8er]

George Brett, you want to talk George Brett huh, okay, I'm working on the turf crew at Prairie Dunes and I'm waiting on he and his crew to tee off, but GB is intent on explaining to his friends the proper technic for giving/getting head, right down to how tight she should hold it in her hands, like, you know, thats how tight you want to hold on to the golf club.  Kind of a weird moment.  See, I been around.   Now, back to RED GREEN !!!

[jeffy]

I had almost forgotten that I sat next to Frank Hernandez' cousin on a flight down to San Antonio in approx 1993.  She was a looker.

[Saulbadguy]

Richard Christy from the howard stern show is the only "celeb" I know.

I was boozing in malibu in may and saw Pamela Anderson walk out of a movie theater. Her best days were clearly 10 years behind her. 30 minutes later I saw McGuyver at a mexican restaurant. Later on in the night I met an old guy who owns a studio lighting company. He was telling me about going on tour with Ted Nugent in the 70's. Lets just say Nugent loved the nose candy.....
