If so, did you get all tongue tied & act like a dork?
:dork:

Let's just say I realized (after the fact) a Hall of Famer was sitting behind me on an airplane & I was two seconds away from asking him to shut the hell up with his 'humming''. I was giving him the 'evil' eye.....:killingme

Once I realized who he was, I was like a kid in the principals office.
:yahoo:

Then I felt really stupid for even caring.

Mike Wallace, NASCAR driver. Shook hands, got his autograph. Did not act like a jerk....

This was right after the Bristol race in '05. My brother to the far right, the team owner of the #4 car in the white shirt, Larry McClure.

Kewl! The person I met was Cal Ripken Jr.

I was so flabbergasted, but tried to remain cool.. I think I failed.
:killingme

Tom Arnold. I didn't act differently..

Air Supply, Walter Cronkite, Shirley Chissom, Aunt Ruby from General Hospital, Ted Koppel and Judge Raley to name a few, I know there are more, I just can't remember them (CRS). I cooked dinner for them at different times. Aunt Ruby even came in the kitchen and gave me a hug, said that her scallops were the best she had ever eaten. I've got some of their autographs still. Oh, one more the head coach of the Pittsburg Steelers in 1987, can't remember his name and the governor of Maryland in 87 too. If only I had a memory left I could name more.

I took my 11 year old sister to a Kelly Clarkson concert for her birthday. We had a meet and greet pass. I was a bigger dork than she was. I don't even know why.. she's just a person. Met Nick Hexum and SA Martinez of 311 and didn't really have a chance to be a dork. Nick was doing enough for himself walking around drunk. Met the members of Goldfinger and acted like a big dork. Mostly cause we were hanging out backstage and they kept walking past us and we didn't say anything. We just sat and stared... and we took pictures of their equipment cases that were sitting around. It was cool though cause we got to hang out in their tour bus and Charlie gave us a vegan corn dog. It was weird.

Ooo and one time I met the drummer from Yanni: Live in Acropolis. His name is Kalani... go figure. He was at a music teacher convention teaching a drumming class. They announced him as the drummer from Yanni and while others were asking him questions about drumming I blurted out "Are you REALLY the drummer for Yanni?????" Duhhh....

Bob Woodward. One of the Washington Post reporters who helped bust Nixon. (Woodward & Bernstein)

And no, I don't act like a dork when I see him.

I have met many famous and semi famous because of the sport/business Im in. Extreme and main line sport figures, TV and movie actors, CEO's, heads of state, Models,news anchors and reporters. The first few times I had no idea how to act, until I got to hang or party with many of them off camera and away from their crew. So far all of them I've met are regular broken wretches like the rest of us and the famous part is just their job. Wanna make friends with em? Dont talk about what makes them famous, talk about normal stuff like family, work and places they have visited.

I've been fortunate enough to be at the right place at the right time to meet many "famous" people. Only time I didn't know how to act was when I was a kid and we ended up in the same hotel with the teams playing in a football Hall of Fame game. My dad and I were both too backward to ask for autographs but my mom strolled right in - of course she wasn't a fan so it was no biggie for her.

Wow! I think the head coach of the Steelers was Joe Green in 1987. Harry Hughes was the Governor.

I've met All the guys from Overkill and a bunch of other bands. I crawled around under the Anthrax tour bus with their guitarist looking for something he'd lost:lol: I played pool with Harry Anderson in New Orleans in 2004.
The first time I met Bobby from Overkill I had been so drunk I passed out on the bar before their first set and nearly missed the whole thing. When we were out back with them later, I was still hammered and slurred out a few "F*ck you's" before passing out in my car.

It was a monumental occasion:dork:

Yeah, 'just a person'..that's why I felt silly telling Cal Ripken, Jr. 'Oh, your hair looks shorter'. :killingme

What a wonderful, lasting impression!!!!



Hey he remembered me the next time! Even commented on my hockey jersey and took pictures with me:lol: Drunk chicks are :cool:

I think that constitutes 'acting like a dork'...hahaha! :otter:

Oh I once talked to Alice Cooper and John Conlee on the phone:yay:

Tons of Redskins from "back in the day"..coaches...some of the other teams players and coaches. I worked at RFK for years. Had my butt pinched and got a kiss from Jack Kent Cooke. :lol: and was on the halftime show of Monday Night Footabll. :diva: Nicest guy I met while working there was Bugel. Sonny, Riggins, Monk (at son's football camp)..Steve Young, Walsh..

Met President Reagan while I was working at GSFC...he came for a visit...shook his hand and chatted very briefly.

Met Jim Nabors :lol:

...Bobby Blitz! LOL That's funny! Overkill is proof that you don't have to be good; just never give up. :whistle:

your poll has issues. those are bad choices. oh well

Tom Arnold. I didn't act differently..

Yep, neither would I. :killingme




J/K

If so, did you get all tongue tied & act like a dork?I can think of one who I was indifferent towards: Ginuwine. He would go shopping in Waldorf and I saw him in my store occasionally. I didn't know he was 'somebody' until someone else mentioned it. :lol: I also went to high school with a guy who became an R&B star; I doubt I would act differently if I saw him today.


Wanna make friends with em? Dont talk about what makes them famous, talk about normal stuff like family, work and places they have visited.That's true. But I can imagine, if I met someone who I was totally in awe of, I would be like Chris Farley's one SNL character... nervous and fumbling and repeatedly asking, "So... do you remember that scene..." :lmao:

your poll has issues. those are bad choices. oh well

Okay, It's pretty simple though. Bye.



Ever met a famous person & acted like a dork?

I met Larry Gude a couple times.

I met Lawrence Taylor at a craps table in AC many years back. He had what seemed like a body guard with him who was about half his size.

I also met James Brown (not that one - the one who does NFL on CBS) earlier this year.

Yep, neither would I. :killingme






J/K


What can I say, that's as close to "famous" as I'll probably get.



Unless Kenny Chesney answers my letters :lol:

Okay, It's pretty simple though. Bye.



"have you ever met a famous person and acted like a retard, yes, no, or I don't care?"

so basically, there is the obvious "yes, i met a famous person and acted like a retard". next is no...so is that u met a famous person and DIDNT act like a retard, haven't met a famous person so couldn't act like a retard? Or are two incredibly different answers clumped into one response? Then the "I dont care"...is that "I dont care" about this question, or not caring about meeting a celeb, or what? :whistle:

i've met plenty of celebs, never acted stupid, but your poll isn't very well defined.

...I met otter once. All the other times were hanging out because he was so cool, put me at ease and was just fun to hang with. Plus, I think he was buying. Not the megawatt super star azzhat I was expecting at all even though I got his name wrong once or twice and called him 'racoon' or something that could have for sure made me look like a dork had he chosen to not just let it slide.

:buddies:

92? or maybe 93 Justice Sandra O'Conner - @ her house in Chevy Chase to fix a stopped up drain another time to fix a pipe leak

92? Robert Bork - he was going into an Office Building 19th & Pa Ave

92/93 Pat Collins - Channel 9? Reporter - Unstopped his shower drain

92-94 Lilla Tower ex wife of Senator Tower's and is Stepson George (maybe not so famous but her ex was a senator)

Yes I was a Plumber for 5 1/2 yrs did most of my work in DC our office was 700 Va Ave Se ... so we got a lot of Capital Hill Work as well ... ( Primarily work in NW) I did a lot of work in the Hawk and Dove on Pa Ave 2 blocks from the Capital

94 Gary Colman - Brennan's in New Orleans - Next Table over @ breakfast

2008- G Gordan Liddy - Voting day here in Ft Washington @ the polls

Football players.

London Fletcher, Chris Cooley, Jim Zorn to name a few.

I have to admit I'm an old fart and don't know who 'Ginuwine' is, so I'd probably walk right past him without a second thought. Chris Farley though, oh yeah.

I just totally admire Cal Ripken, Jr. and could kick myself for being so 'star-struck'. He was very nice, natural and not at all acting like he was a big shot.

pfttttt..

Oh yeah, I chased down Dexter Manley at WalMart and was half in his limo to to talk to him. I love him.

He's President of FGAP. :yay:

Have met a few astronauts, gave Judy Resnick(Challenger) a tour of a computer facilty at GSFC. Redskins, Ripken, Monk, Sonny and others. Pat Summerall back when he was teamed with Madden. Dated Karen Allen in high school(Indiana Jones)..Nascar drivers...Pete...

:lmao: But do you have a sense of adventure?

Okay, tell me how to do it better.



I think my post broke down at least most of the options. have you ever seen a poll on this website before? go look at them :yay:


I've met mostly athletes and politicians. Maybe 1 or 2 actors but I can't really remember who, and none of them were 'major' people on TV/movies so it wasn't a big deal. The most famous athlete I've met would probably be Dan Marino. Although he may not be quite as well known now as some more recent athletes like Tim Tebow. :shrug:

I have met the ever famous Toppick a few times and was in awe... I had no idea how to react :smoochy: or :duel:

:lmao: But do you have a sense of adventure?

I'd love to be adventurous with Harrison Ford. :yay:

Met Marino once when the Dolphins were in town..beforehand thought of him as arrogant. Changed my tune after talking with him for 5, 10 minutes...Really was a nice guy.

He can be a nice guy, but he can be really arrogant too. His oldest son is a nightmare (though he's into drama so that can explain it) and the rest aren't much better. It just depends on his mood and a bunch of other factors that go into the situation when you meet him.

:buddies:I met Woodchuck a couple times too. Then he deleted himself.

I've met a few different people. Grew up with the DeMatha basketball people in College Park, so I knew a lot of sports people through them. And I worked in College Park, so MD football and basketball were big. Lefty Dresell (sp) wasnt that neat. Parris Glendenning was a regular at the store I worked at, and was such a joke. This was when he was County Executive for PG, and I didnt vote for him as governor because of the way he acted, and he proved me right. I met the Grateful Dead, and Abby Hoffman at the hotel where I worked. I also went to school with several women who are now pretty well known actors, and still really sweet and genuine. For the most part, they're all pretty cool, although some are obnoxious.

One of the ones who has always impressed me was Danny Ferry, who was several yearss ahead of me in gradeschool. He played DeMatha, then Duke, then I think Cleveland Cavaliers. He was really nice, very funny. Remembered me years later when his Duke team stayed at the hotel, even introduced me to the whole team. He was a very genuinely nice person.

Lloyd Bridges
Grant Goodeve (Eight is Enough)
Lynn Herring (Lucy Coe of General Hospital)
Jeffrey Carlson (TV and stage)
Pat Collins (he was the MC when my FIL was inducted into the Washington DC Boxing Hall of Fame)

Some big time Redskins player back in 1985. Sister and I were in Georgetown at some nightclub called The Library. The guy came up and was hitting on me, I paid him no mind. He said to me, Don't you know who I am? Me, Nope. Him, I am So&So of the Washington Redskins! Me, :shrug: I'm a San Francisco fan. Him ---> :burning: and stormed off.

I took my 11 year old sister to a Kelly Clarkson concert for her birthday. We had a meet and greet pass. I was a bigger dork than she was. I don't even know why.. she's just a person. Met Nick Hexum and SA Martinez of 311 and didn't really have a chance to be a dork. Nick was doing enough for himself walking around drunk. Met the members of Goldfinger and acted like a big dork. Mostly cause we were hanging out backstage and they kept walking past us and we didn't say anything. We just sat and stared... and we took pictures of their equipment cases that were sitting around. It was cool though cause we got to hang out in their tour bus and Charlie gave us a vegan corn dog. It was weird.

The first time I met Bobby from Overkill I had been so drunk I passed out on the bar before their first set and nearly missed the whole thing. When we were out back with them later, I was still hammered and slurred out a few "F*ck you's" before passing out in my car.

It was a monumental occasion:dork:
You are the coolest rocker chick I know.... I have never gotten wasted at a show, I once passed out at a Mighty Mighty Bosstones/Shelter show.... low blood sugar :ohwell:

I have met the ever famous Toppick a few times and was in awe... I had no idea how to react :smoochy: or :duel:

Yoy met FUJI???? :buddies:

Tell me all about it!!!

Are Las Vegas strippers famous?

I met Peter Gabriel once before one of his concerts (my rock idol) :yay:

He was performing at a nearby college, and I came up very early to make sure I'd be at the front of the line getting in. I bought the tickets as soon as I arrived, and the person who sold me them happened to be an old friend I grew up with. That was weird, wasn't expecting that. So I asked if they needed any help setting up, since I'd only be waiting on a line all day.

They put me to work. When the band showed up for their sound check, the concert committee started booting people out. I immediately caught on to that, and took charge directing people on work that still needed to be done. :lol: That kept me from getting kicked out.

His keyboardist on that tour was Larry Fast, and he even showed me the brand new state-of-the-art Fairlight computer synthesizer and even allowed me to select certain familiar sounds I knew and play them while they were setting up. Made my day.

By the time it was time for the concert, I was front row center (general admission, no seats). Here are a few pictures I took...

I met Geek once. I don't think I acted like a dork, but who knows? She did give me a hug, and we farted for each other.

No wait... that was a dream I had, felt very real though when I woke up. I was angry with Smoot for days. Maybe someday I will meet them.

Never met anyone famous. I did go to Bow Wow Bday at Love, didn't meet him though.

I've got to find myself a different crowd to hang out with..... my sister has the TV entertainment field pretty well covered and most of the posts on here are sports....hmmmm have to give this one some thought....I've met a lot of politicians from both sides of the aisle, but intentionally did not put them here also. :lol:

Met a few prowrestlers...

Batista...(ran into him at an airport, bout scared the hell out of us)
...:faint:

:hot: Lucky you!

I gave Morgan Wooten's wife tennis lessons for a summer, that count? lol

Where did you give her lessons? I grew up with her kids. Went to school with them all the way through college. Even still keep in touch with Brendan through facebook.

I was at a club in Memphis drunk and met Rick Flair. He looked like hell and was very short. I lied and said "I am a big fan, would you body slam my friend" and pointed to my neighbor who was out with us. He just rolled his eyes and walked off. :lol:

Steely Dan;
ZZ Top - many times - they took me and my g.f. to dinner;
Chuck Magione
The Tubes
OJ Simpson
Others I can't remember.

I drove a limo in the 80's.

I didn't think he was that short, but then everyone seems tall to me. :lmao:

Vanessa Carlton
Jimmy Buffett
Steny Hoyer
Tom Brokaw
Joe Scarborough from morning joe
G. Gordon Liddy

:shrug:

(many NASCAR drivers)
(many NHRA drivers)
(a few people from WNBC NBC New York)
(a few of the NBC Washington pundits, including Lindsey Czarniak)
(many ESPN pundits)

I didn't think he was that short, but then everyone seems tall to me. :lmao:

Wiki says he is 6' but that is a lie.

Wiki says he is 6' but that is a lie.
He's definitely not 6'. I think he's more 5'9"

I met Pat Sayjak. :shrug:

He's definitely not 6'. I think he's more 5'9"

I would agree or even less. I gogled it to see what they list his height as and most say 6' some even say 6'-1". The dude is NOT that tall, 5-9 would be about right.

:hot: Lucky you!

Hell and that was BEFORE he even made it to WWE, for a while there OVW (Ohio Valley Wrestling, a pro wrestling promotion based in my hometown of Louisville KY) was a developmental camp for WWE. That's where many wrestlers, including Batista, got their start.
Dude was huge then, he's just MORE ripped now.

i met the Redskins last year!

:yahoo:

Kewl! The person I met was Cal Ripken Jr.

I was so flabbergasted, but tried to remain cool.. I think I failed.
:killingme

I would have drooled on him! :lol:



My sister and I were at the airport near the baggage claim once and we saw Newt Gingrich waiting for him luggage. My sister was too shy to go up to him, so I went up to him and asked if we could each take a picture with him. He said yes, after he got his bags. :lol: My sister has the pictures, and yes, his head really *is* huge. :lol:

I also saw Wolf Blitzer in one of the food areas at BWI. I didn't talk to him though, he seemed pretty busy.

How long ago was this?

I drove a limo in the 80's.

I worked at the auditorium where they held the concerts in Lincoln, so I've met all kinds of music stars - Van Halen, ZZ Top, Jefferson Starship, etc, etc. I didn't act like a dork because most of them beat me to it - buncha PITAs. Except ZZ Top, they were really nice. And Al Stewart was nice.

I have a picture of us - me, Larry and the kids - with King Kong Bundy. :jet:

:lmao:
How long ago was this?

88 or 89 :lol:

I met Linda Hamilton in the early 90's. (Terminator/Beauty and the Beast) I sold her a pretty jacket and never let on that I knew it was her. I also managed to increase the sale at the counter. :lol: She was very real and "normal".

In the mid 80's I hung out in Georgetown at Champions (a sport's bar) Many Redskins hung out there. I iggied them all (I never liked sports, but knew the bartender...free drinks :dance:) I think my sister dated a few.

I met Susan Lucci (sp?) in 1981. I worked for Hecht's back then and there was some kind of mall publicity event...she came into the store and my dept. All I remember is she was pretty.

I had dinner with Neil Armstrong when I was 6 years old or so (I only remember the name and he had walked on the moon or something) Same with Strom Thurmond and I only remember the adults talking about his young wife. I hope I behaved. :lol:

I met James Dickey when I was 10. He was a pervert and child molester. I'll stand by those words and never take them back. No wonder his twisted mind came up with "Deliverance". Truly a sick man, but a great writer.

One of my neatest meetings was with Pat Conroy's brother when I was about 10 as well. He knew I was a voracious reader and gave me a signed copy of his brother's book, "The River is Wide". I have moved so many times since then and have no idea where that book is, but the memory remains. His brother was our neighbor for a short time and I became a fan of Conroy's books.

That's all I can think of for now. :lol:

I met Sugar Ray Leonard at the DMV a loooong time ago. He was pretty nice.

I met the drummer from Sheila E's band at a Prince, Purple Rain concert. :lol:

God, you know what? I know there are more, I just cannot remember right now. :doh:

Those two stand out because they crack me up! :roflmao:

I touched Lionel Ritchie...WOO-HOO! when he was a part of the Commodores. Front seat center stage at the Capital Center. I was little miss innocent prude. He sang "Brick House" to flat chested/butted
/little me (or so it seemed) I danced and smiled my ass off.

There were benefits when working at Hecht's. :yay:

:offtopic: Did you hear Chico's is in big trouble?

Eric Lindros - When he was playing for Philly - :hot:

Penny Hardaway
at that time played for the Orlando Magic

Jeff and Matt Hardy
Lita

We are old.


:offtopic: Did you hear Chico's is in big trouble?

:shocked: no! where did you hear that? It's probably because they had a really crappy line of clothes this year. :barf: The staples were still great - AND the jewelry of course - but they did the animal print thing (amongst others) and it wasn't $$ worthy. IMO.

I have met many famous and semi famous because of the sport/business Im in. Extreme and main line sport figures, TV and movie actors, CEO's, heads of state, Models,news anchors and reporters. The first few times I had no idea how to act, until I got to hang or party with many of them off camera and away from their crew. So far all of them I've met are regular broken wretches like the rest of us and the famous part is just their job. Wanna make friends with em? Dont talk about what makes them famous, talk about normal stuff like family, work and places they have visited.

Since we are dropping names.

Mb... I went to your work and they said you were gone.. :frown:

Andy Lally

He ran in the Inaugural Loud Energy Drink 150 at the NJ road course this year. Class act :yay:

In the mid 80's I once managed a hoity toity restaurant in an inn in Columbia near Merriweather, most of the acts that performed there stayed at the inn. I can not begin to tell you all the folks I met and escorted out of the dining room. :jameo:

Not that anyone gives two shiats, but I've gotten to meet and depending on the venue hang out with several famous band members such as Papa Roach, Avenged Sevenfold, Burn Halo, Eighteen Visions, Lynam, Hinder, The Misfits, Egypt Central, Bobaflex, Hydrovibe, ect.

When I was younger, I met a few of the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, some St Louis Cardinal baseball players, some really famous comedian with a puppet.

Where did you give her lessons? I grew up with her kids. Went to school with them all the way through college. Even still keep in touch with Brendan through facebook.

Had a tennis court in my parents yard, I was living there after splitting with my first wife..Very nice lady.

Had a tennis court in my parents yard, I was living there after splitting with my first wife..Very nice lady.

...then why did you split with her?


:lol:

Only actually met two famous peeps. Been to a shiiteload of concerts, but not counting those.

When I was a horny youngster, I met and shook hands with miss Oct 87 (playboy) Brandi Brandt at a car show :boner:

And I met Joe Diffie, country singer :bigwhoop:

I touched Tim McGraw once. :hot:

I've never personally met any famous people (that I recall), but I've seen a bunch in person. My daughter used to take gymnastics with the daughter of a famous singer. So it was often I'd sit in the same "waiting" area with the singer for an hour twice a week. :lol:

When I lived in FL I was next door the the Miami Dolphins right guard, Jeff Toews. I think 1984 was his last year with the Dolphins. I also met Steve Young who lived in our neighborhood, his house always gave out the best halloween candy.

Met Robert Morley while in London England during a play Banana Ridge. Very nice man some may remeber him as the Qantas British Airways spokesperson.

I was sorta friends with Priscilla Taylor, my brother hung out with her went clubbing with her in South Beach Miami. Guys google her... she was a playboy playmate. BTW she is not a natural blonde nor is her name actually Priscilla Taylor she changed it to that. I think she got my brother into some pretty bad stuff a few years ago I am glad he turned out ok.

I met and was not impressed with Jerry Lewis. What a jerk.

I knew Tony Little (the fitness equipment guy) before he went nuts. He used to be a very quite and reserved guy before the accident. He barely spoke a word when working out.

While I was working out got to meet lots of pro body builders because the owner of the gym was the NPC Vice President. Got me in to bodybuilding as well but well that was a while ago so no need to dwell.

There are some pro wrestlers I worked out with as well. Fun guys.

I've met/know a few famous folks:

Martin Luther King - I was a kid and got the chance to march with him in DC. Didn't realize it at the time but....:yay:

Louis Armstrong - Rode down in an elevator with him in Vegas when I was 14! He had his trumpet and handkerchief and was very kind to me and my cousin.

B.B. King - Ran into him on a plane. The closest I came to "losing it." I kind of yelled out "B.B.!" when I saw him. He was cool though. :lol:

Sue Simmons - Anchorwoman first at Channel 4 here and in NYC.

Gil Scott-Heron - Singer

Bryan Burwell (I guess he's famous) - Sports Reporter. We went to college together and are in the same Fraternity

James Brown - CBS Sports - Good friend of the family

Kenny Anderson - Bengals QB - met him at the Hyatt Regency the year they won the Super Bowl

John Lewis - Congressman from GA - One of the bravest people I've known

Jimmy Doolittle - Met him when I was a doorman at the Hyatt. When he entered the lobby, the entire place gave him a spontaneous standing ovation! True hero stuff.

Maureen Bunyon, Gordon Peterson, Del Walters, etc., etc. Met them all when I worked at the "Twin Towers" Building in Rosslyn, the home of WJLA.

Various politicians through my job.

edit:

Oops! I forgot about Sugar Ray Leonard. I am better friends with his brother Roger (Dale) though. Ray was cool and Dale is nuts! :lol: We used to hang out a lot when Dale was fighting. He could fight but cut pretty easily. Good guys!

I touched Tim McGraw's penis once, it was like a peanut butter jar. That was 5 years ago, and I still think about it at least 3 times a day :hot:



:shocked:

I can think of one who I was indifferent towards: Ginuwine. He would go shopping in Waldorf and I saw him in my store occasionally. I didn't know he was 'somebody' until someone else mentioned it. :lol:

You had the same reaction as my wife! :lol: He would usually buy something from her at Macy's. She said he's always very polite.

I knew Laura Sisk before she was Laura Wright, who plays Carly of General Hospital. She always had star magnetism, and I'll admit when I saw her a few years after a return home visit from NY (I think she was still doing daytime then, or another soap), I was a little starstruck. :shrug:

She got married at either Sotterley or Greenwell, not long after I got married. I remember seeing it in the paper. She was on The City at the time.

Elvis Stoyko (sp?). I froze like a dork and my mom told him that I thought he had the greatest looking ass in the world. :lol:

The most humble, nicest celebrity I ever met was Walter Payton.

I knew his brother Eddie well.

RIP Sweetness.

Last year Clinton Portis (damn he is small, it felt weird since I was taller and bigger than him :lmao:) was staying at the same hotel as my family and I and we had drinks w/ him and some other Redskin players (not sure who I am not a Redskins fan :lol:) both nights. That was a nice experience.

Met David Spade in Vegas and acted like a total little school girl all giddy and excited to meet him... it was quite embarrassing :blushing:

Living in San Diego I met and hung out w/ a lot of punk bands but my Bad Religion experience was by far the best! Got to eat and hang out w/ the band before their set when they were on the warp tour and then got to hang out again after thier show back stage. I have pictures at the house I should bring them to post.

You win.

Just wandering but am I the only person who listens to rap and R&B? Most of you are listing rock bands, wrestlers, etc. Am I the only "urban" person on here? I figured I would be one of few but I am starting to think I am the only one. Anyone else watch Bet, MTV, E!, or any other "younger" style shows and channels? I have heard of some of the famous people listed but not many.

There is nothing wrong with this, just wandering.

I wonder if you graduated high school.

I was waiting for someone to say something about my spelling and grammer. Yes I graduated high school, english wasn't my best subject. Now I am WONDERING, are you an old fart who got offended by someone not knowing your famous people?

Urban... meaning?

I'm from Baltimore.

I've lived in several major cities.




And I like ROCK N ROLL :dude:

I have noticed that is the word they call the hip-hop community lately. Like Urban Outfitters clothing store is a hip-hop style store. I don't know if they use it to be politically correct. I wouldn't always use it because alot of rappers are from the nitty gritty south, not the city. But I am sure if you google urban clothes, urban music you will get rap and r&b pages.

Rocawear, Baby Phat, Coogi are different urban style clothes.

okay :yay:

Not yet... you missed grammar.

Head coach back then was Chuck Knoll

You are correct.

After my experience with Cal Ripken, Jr. I thought of these others that I had met. However, not as close 'experience' as I had with Cal Jr.

Atlanta Rythm Section - they were at my College & offered us girls a 'sleepy' drug in the day.
Lee Trevino - In Hawaii at a Seniors game, he was a peni.
Chi-Chi Rodr#guez & Jim Albus - Both sweet gentlemen.
Hubert Green - Kissed me.:diva:
Barbi Benton - Cute, but snotty.
Miss Virginia, 1970 - Deborah Shelton. She used to get her hair done at the same place as my Mom. I adored her.
Jim & Tammy Baker - Yep, I was on their show in Portsmouth, Virginia. A very long time ago, sometime in the mid 60's.
Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad.
I went to school with Adm. Jerimiah Denton's daughter, Madeline & Captain John Fellows kids in Va. Beach.
I know GW guy..:popcorn::diva::lmao:

It only lasted about a month,( she was way too young)...but Lord what a month.

I am sure that he was a great person but before my time. The farthest I go ol'school is Al Green, Marvin Gaye, New Edition, Jodeci, etc. I am a young white girl who grew up listening to hippie music. I will not try to front like I know everything about poetry, jazzoetry, floetry, etc. I was just wondering if anyone else watches any more recent pop culture shows. I will say that Tupac was a great poet. Not going to lie, when I first read your post all that popped in my head was Jill Scott, took me a minute to realize the spelling was not the same.

I met Gene Simmons from KISS back in '89. He was at FAO Schwartz with his then-pregnant girlfriend Shannon Tweed (Playboy). I knew who he was only because I'd heard of KISS (and his tongue) but never listened to any of their music so I really didn't care.

My mom held hands on an airplane with some race car driver (long, long, long time ago) because she's scared of flying.

My husband met and talked to FDR's son on an airplane once.

I accidentally bumped into Nancy Kerrigan at a skating event while I was trekking out onto the ice to get some hockey practice in....

MB, I'd have to track down his mom, have her get in touch with him, then wait to see if he's even willing to do it. I haven't seen Chris in a long time and I really don't want to pull the pity card. "Yeah, hey man, how's it going? I was friends with your murdered sister, so can you give me backstage passes?"

That would be opening an old wound.:nono: I'm still on the fence about contacting his mom to ask if the kids need anything.:frown:

As long as she doesn't go to the back room, it's all good :lol:

I've met several famous people over the years (I'm 56), but there's one person that really stands out in my mind because of the way I met her.

It was in late 1969 or early 1970 and I'd gotten off work and had stopped by the Jiffy Shoppe Carry-Out in Forest Hgts. to get a sub. It was about 10pm that Friday night and a Mustang pulled up out front. A woman in a formal gown got out and 3 Green Berets in full dress uniform got out also. As they were coming in, I noticed that one of these Green Berets was wearing lipstick which I thought was VERY unusual. When they got in I could tell that this particular Green Beret was a woman and she was also a little drunk. I happened to look closer and noticed the name tag she had that stated her name was "RAYE". It took a few moments but I finally realized who she was from having heard my parents talk about her when she had been on TV. This woman was the comedian/actress Martha Raye.

Evidently the alcohol consumption had taken it's toll and I heard her ask if there was a restroom there to which she was told no. Because I knew the owner of the Gulf gas station next to the Jiffy Carry-Out, I walked over and advised her she could use the facilities there. She thanked me profusely and walked in a hurry over to the station. While she was gone, I asked the Green Beret with all the medals why Martha Raye was wearing the uniform. He advised that her son had been killed in Vietnam and they'd been to his wake which then explained the alcohol. When she returned, their order was just coming up and she kissed me on the cheek thanking me again.

I was only 17 when this happened and still living at home. When I got home my dad asked about the lipstick on my cheek. I told him... "Dad... you won't believe me". He didn't until an article in the Style section of the Post the next morning verified the wake.

In the mid 80's I hung out in Georgetown at Champions (a sport's bar) Many Redskins hung out there. I iggied them all (I never liked sports, but knew the bartender...free drinks :dance:) I think my sister dated a few.

:howdy:

a very good friend of mine was a bartender @ Crazy Horse around the corner in the late 80's early 90's ... 89 - 90 was a blur of Capt and Coke and loud music ..

I'd Bang that like a drum ...........

I played craps with Lawrence Taylor. He had a big diamond earring in the shape of an LT.

He also had 4 hookers at his side.

Very funny guy. At least that night. He called me button nose. :lol:

I met the guy who played Boss Hogg when I was 11 at a fair in Connorsville, Indiana. He shook my hand and said, "Aw, ain't you a purty girl!"



Did you know he worked for the CIA @ one time and was Classical Theater Actor ?

Just wandering but am I the only person who listens to rap and R&B? Most of you are listing rock bands, wrestlers, etc. Am I the only "urban" person on here? I figured I would be one of few but I am starting to think I am the only one. Anyone else watch Bet, MTV, E!, or any other "younger" style shows and channels? I have heard of some of the famous people listed but not many.

There is nothing wrong with this, just wandering.



I live in Fort Washington and Work in a local theme park :confused: You cannot get much more Urban than that ..........

but I do not listen to See RAP or R&B .... Toby Keith is a Rocks ... and the Dixie Chick suck .... does that give you a hint ...

and and being a child of the 80's (Class of 84) I still love the music of that era

I have noticed that is the word they call the hip-hop community lately. Like Urban Outfitters clothing store is a hip-hop style store. I don't know if they use it to be politically correct.

Not when they 1st opened ... or "Up Against the Wall"

Urban Outfitters Wholesale designs, manufactures, and sells women's and men's clothing to over 1,000 specialty stores under four labels: Anthropologie, Co-Operative, Ecote, and Free People. Primary elements of the company's overall retail strategy include locating stores where their target customers are naturally concentrated; renovating and adapting existing structures to provide distinctive store environments; offering a broad mix of eclectic and fashionable brand name and private label apparel and home furnishings in the same store; and using innovative visual merchandising, striking store displays, and a distinctive mix of merchandise to present its wares.

Urban Outfitters was created in 1970 by two retail novices, anthropology graduate Richard Hayne and his former roommate at Lehigh University, Scott Belair. Hayne was just back from two years working with Eskimos in Alaska as a VISTA Volunteer; Belair was a second-year student at Wharton School of Business and needed a project for his entrepreneur workshop. Over beer one night, :whistle: the two came up with the idea of a store for college and graduate students, selling inexpensive clothes and items for dorm rooms and apartments. Pooling $5,000, they opened the Free People Store in Philadelphia, near the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. The store offered inexpensive second-hand clothing, Indian fabrics, scented candles, T-shirts, drug paraphernalia, and ethnic jewelry, in 400 square feet decorated with packing crates and beat-up furniture. "I was that market," Hayne told Dan Shaw of the New York Times in 1994, adding that "everyone associated with the store was that market."

The store was a success. "Belair got an A on the project," according to Robert La Franco in a Forbes article, "and went on to Wall Street, where he [ran] his own bankruptcy workout business." Hayne stayed with the business, adding such merchandise as coffee mugs and glassware to the product line. In 1976 he moved to larger quarters near the university, changed the store's name to Urban Outfitters, and incorporated the company. In 1980, with sales around $3 million, Hayne opened a second store, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, close to several colleges.

Hoover and I ran into Joan Jett all over Oahu for a week - had no clue who she was :lol: Joan Jett finally told Hoover who she was as I was picking her up from the hotel and taking her to the airport... Hoover blew her knee out and was flying home early.

At the airport Hoover saw her and her band and "introduced" me to her. :lmao: She thought it was nice to talk to normal people who did not know who she was...

I was getting her upgraded to first class but was told it was already taken care of. We found out that it was her and the band did that before we checked in... they covered the difference from Oahu to LA to BWI - it was a GREAT gesture on her part.

I met many famous folks while doing a gig for TV for a couple years. We put on our pants just like normal folks do. Some folks like all the attention and crap, I just found it to be a pain in the arse.

We used to live across the street from each other and Mom said he had a HUGE crush on me. :lol:

She is still in touch with him and his parents. Looks like he has done quite well for himself! :yay:

Imagine your life had you hooked up with him.

Imagine your life had you hooked up with him.

No kidding. :lol:

I decided to move in with my Dad where I got away with everything. :jet:

I met Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

I met Geek once. I don't think I acted like a dork, but who knows? She did give me a hug, and we farted for each other.

Aww. You were a hero for me that day :huggy:

author Tom Clancy

Does it count if you met them before they were famous? :confused: He was my insurance salesman back in the day. I remember many boring discussions between him and my ex about the Navy and the nuclear sub service as he went on and on about this book he was writing...which happened to be "Hunt For Red October." I still have one of the first copies put out of the book by the Naval Press. :yay:

Jay Leno ... I'm on the right in my former military get-up. :yay:

YAY! I am a legend in my own mind! :yahoo:

Yes, Jackie and John-John Kennedy (President Kennedy's wife, while he was still in office), at Wheaton Regional Park. I was a real youngster, my age in the single digits, and didn't know you weren't supposed to trot up to them and say hello. So I did. She was very nice to me, but I don't remember anything about John-John's reaction.

I met Mick Jagger in a coffee shop in Oak Cliff. I was on an elevator once with Chuck Berry.

I met Frank Sinatra at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, man, about 25 years ago!

Very cool guy.

I met Richard Marcinko, the "Rogue Warrior" at a trade show out at the Dulles Expo center a couple years ago. He's getting a few years on him but still kind of a scarry dude.
