I dont have any stories about meeting famous people......... famous people have stories about meeting me.

When I was in Boy Scouts at around 10-12 years old I met Alan Shepard at a jamboree and he signed my neckerchief. I was super into anything outer-space (this was pre Star Wars hehe) so it was pretty exciting for me at the time meeting the first American to fly in space.

Later in life I got to attend a fundraising party with a bunch of the Canucks in the summer after the 94 Stanley cup loss to the Rangers. Got a picture snapped with one of my all time favorite Canucks defensemen, Jyrki Lumme...

I have ghost stuff that I don't tell because people don't believe or think you're insane.

I don't have anything fascinating like the celebs mentioned above. On a much smaller scale I was at a guitar show in Houston, went to take a piss and its just me and some other dude drainin the vein. We go to wash out hands and I see the guy in the mirror, it was Michael Fath who I recognized right away and told him I recently just purchased his latest instrumental shredder album and that he is a fantastic player. He was really cool and we shot the shit for a few minutes and I introduced him to my girlfriend at the time (now wife) and she had him autograph a Hamer catalog she had.

I work in broadcast so I got to hang out back stage a Anderson, Brukford and Howe show. All were cool guys. Hang outside Steves room while he was warming up and just playing early in the afternoon. The guy can pretty much play any style...I knew he was good but not until I heard him not perform

I was doing a WCW PPV Show and although I don't get into it I recognized a bunch of them roaming around the arena..all were really cool. During about half way through broadcast, this was back when I smoked and you can't smoke in the transmission truck so I'd step out and have a smoke. There was a town car with about 5 wrestlers just sitting there with the windows down drinking beer. They called me over and ask if I want a beer and I told them I do but I'm working. Every time I stepped put of the truck they kept trying to get me to drink with them...they were funny as shit and kept saying come on bro, just one beer. Probably happened about 5-6 times and I'd just chat with them while I smoked a cig. They were really cool and funnier seeing them talk smack about each other in the show like they hated each other but they were drinking buddies.

I met a lot of boxers and celebrities doing the PPV's. Funniest one was day before to show (set up day) and I got fucked up that night at the Marriott bar (that's really all you do on the road, work, eat and drink) and head to my room at closing time. I get in my room and get in the bed, just as I'm passing out I hear a key opening up the door....it was a boxer and a few of his entourage that I didnt recognize..I was like what the fuck man? I called the front desk and they thought they checked out the day earlier and they told me to tell them to go to the front desk I tell front desk to tell them yourself and handed one of the dudes the phone....we joked that I thought I was gonna have to fight a boxer. During the show the next night I noticed the fighter ans manager, they were o one of the undercards.

I may have posted this before, but I went to see Vinnie Moore at a club called The Rage in Baltimore back in 1992 or so. My friend and I got there early and were drinking beers at a table with 6 chairs. Three guys came in a little bit later and asked whether they could sit at our table. We said no problem, and watched Vinnie and his band rip it up together. During the break between the first and second sets, the other people in the bar came to our table and started hounding the guys at our table for autographs and stuff. One of them came up to me and asked me for my autograph. I asked him who he thought I was, and he said,

"Well, you're a long haired Chinese guy who's hanging out with Queensryche... Aren't you James Iha from the Smashing Pumpkins?" (Neither James Iha nor I are Chinese, btw.)

I was also mistaken for DJ Towa Towa from the group Deeelight in a different bar around the same time.

I was at a bar once watching some band of unknowns, and Chuck Norris walked by on his way from the mens room, and he asked me for my autograph, which of course I gave him. (it would have been rude to say no)

The best thing about those guys was having Bootsy in their vids.

Funny stuff so far and a great thread.
Back in the 60's me and a bunch of my buddies were skateboarding down a concrete drainage spillway off a highway exit ramp when a huge limo exited off the ramp me and Gary were at the top and we both saw Colonel Sanders in the limo in nothing but his boxers.Ewwww.We were high and it really seemed funny at the time.

At a Columbus Ohio guitar show I was looking thru a stack of concert VHS tapes at a booth and there was this very tall guy standing next to me looking at videos.
He had tattoos all up and down his arms and was about 6'5" I'm 5'7" so a huge difference.
I had picked up WASP Live at the Lyceum VHS and the guy said "buy that I smoked Chris Holmes's ass all thru that show he was drunk as a monkey".
I looked up and it was Randy Piper I about shit and said OK I will and you are one tall Mother F%$##r!!
He was cool and asked my name and if I had a booth.I said yeah stop on by if you have a chance I have some nice old Jacksons and B.C.Richs.
About an hour later I had 3 customers checking out my stuff and Randy walks up and says hey Rich good to see you again.
I said been a long time huh? He laughed and said damn you have some nice stuff mind if I play one I said sure go ahead.
He played a few and said cool stuff man thanks.
After that I had dealers asking me if I was friends with Randy Piper.

I clubbed a baby seal to death so I could make a pudcloth..while searching for Yeti..in the Antartica.

I never found the elusive snowbeast. But the memories of those cute, black eyes..starting to tear up as I raised my club. Ohhhhh it was gruesome....oooooooohhhhh the blood and guts, and cum !!!! It took over 100 blows to kill it!!! I called him "Cuddles".

[horns666]

I tore my sack while getting out of the car to meet my bride-to-be's parents.

[Jayster]

He works at Burger World now, you'd get people getting you to ask your mate where their fucking order is.

Now, where do I start with a proper post for this thread? Just about every day, I think to myself, "No-one would fucking believe this one..."

I take the 5th on the grounds that it WILL incriminate myself. mine are depraved, at any age of my life.

[horns666]

I got ringworm from some nasty with a wooden leg. I was young and high...put a coat of shellac on that leg and bailed!

Did you know that shellac is secreted from the female lac bug. These are facts.
