My cousin saw Diana DeGarmo (I think that's how you spell it) in the mall once.

You met John Cena? That's awesome. I forgot: My other cousin met George Bush, and he shook her hand on TV. She was only like one year old.

I met Jerry Clower a couple of times. For those of you who don't know, Jerry Clower was the ORIGINAL Red Neck Comedian (eat your heart out, Jeff Foxworthy!).

I met Space Ghost a couple of times, too. I can remember the first time he came in the Office Depot store where I worked. I commented on his Coast to Coast shirt, and when he replied, I knew it was him! That was so awexome!

I also met D. Stuart Briscoe and Sen. John Lewis.

My Hebrew prof in college, Dr. Stephen Hooks, was very close friends with Rich Mullens. He preached at his funeral.

Funny story. I was in Petoskry MI with my brother and cousins. There was a festival type thing in the streets so we decided to check it out. Right when we were about to leave, we saw a crowed of people gathering around one spot. I said "Let's go see what those poeple are looking at." My younger brother shook his head and said, "No, it's probably just a juggler," so we wnet back home. The next day we saw a picture in the newspaper of a crowed of people gathering around TIM ALLEN with my brother, cousin, and I walking away in the background!

Sadly, I have not met any famous people, yet. It's so sad that I haven't shook Hulk Hogan's hand or gave a high five to a music artist.

Puphles · **Posted:** Tue Aug 30, 2005 1:37 am

Well, they aren't that famous, but I met The Aquabats after one of their shows once. They're really cool that way. They're always avalable after the shows to sign autographs and talk and such. Another reason they're my favorite band.

I've met a few athletes, and Australian celebrities from Big Brother, and some Aussie racing car drivers.
I got to stand on the track before the cars took off

Puphles · **Posted:** Tue Aug 30, 2005 1:47 am

Yeah, my dad's in the music industry so I get to meet some famous people from time to time. It's pretty cool.

My friend saw Simon Cowell and Alisha Keys in an airport once.

I used to swim in the Frist's pool (Nashville home) when I was little. You know, Bill Frist? They lived down the street from my grandparents (large house) and they were kind enough to let us swim there.

I've also met Jodee Messina.

We were about to move to the same street that Faith Hill and Tim McGraw live on a while ago, and we saw Faith Hill taking her kids for a walk. We all waved.

(Also, Kenny Chesney lives beside Faith Hill, but we didn't see him).

And that's about it, chum.

Edit: Oh yeah. My cousin used to work for Lyric Street Records, so he worked with Rascal Flatts, SheDaisy and Josh Gracin.

My old science teacher used to live in the same development as a famous baseball player, but I don't remember which one.

One of my good friends, Rick Vermiel, is the grandson of famed NFL coach Dick Vermiel. I also ran into him at the airport while coming back home from Cortramid.

Famouse people, eh?

Yeah, I've met Mickey a few times.

someone had to say it!

Well, I've met Bill Morrison. He works on The Simpsons and Futurama. He was signing comics at the comic store, and I brought one of my Simpsons anthologies and got it signed, complete with a picture of Homer.

Aside from that, my mom's met Clint Eastwood and Doris Day (who, according to her, was not a very nice lady), among other people, and my friend Emily met Whitney Houston as a baby--she told her parents that she was a cute baby. Aww.

Trevor? Ryan?

Mark Skaife? Greg Murphy? And what event where you at? Bathurst?

I've met the guy and girl who play Young Simba and Nala on Broadway in The Lion King. My Big Sister's husband's friend is the mother of Young Simba, so we got backstage passes and they showed us around, and they were really nice. They seemed grateful, and they were hugging us and taking pictures with us and stuff.

I've met the Boston Bruins often, at their Charity Carnaval.

But I couldn't believe it when I met Bobby Orr. It was the equivalent of meating Shigiru Myamoto, only better. I thought I would puke my pants in exitement.

don;t think I've met any famous people, though my sis met Jason Mraz.

I met George Bush the first when I was 8 or 9. I shook his hand.

That's aboot it.

Wait, no. I met a bunch of fairly famous rock musician people at Spirit West Coast.

The guitarist from Seventh Day Slumber was too busy to talk to me. Arglblbl.

Li'l somethin somethin · **Posted:** Tue Aug 30, 2005 3:37 pm

I've met Roberto Luongo and Jean Chrétian. That's all. I think.

I met Alfred Molina after "Fiddler on the Roof."

My uncle has played hockey with Gordie Howe and I saw him at a hockey game I went to. Oh yeah! I was ice skating with my dad and family and Jonny Benson (NASCAR driver) and his family came skating with us.

I got his autograph too.

Ooh! I shook Stockwell Day's hand a couple of years ago. If your Canadian, you should know who he is.

Jitka · **Posted:** Tue Aug 30, 2005 8:25 pm

Well, I once spoke to Ringo Starr on the phone, if that counts. My dad is well-connected in the entertainment business. He's met a quite a few famous and semi-famous people, like Jared the Subway guy, The Rock, Bobcat Goldthwait, and Blue Oyster Cult when they played live at his company's birthday party. Pretty cool.

And Fibby, you swam in Bill Frist's pool...and SURVIVED?

Woah. I congratulate you.

Eldiran · **Posted:** Tue Aug 30, 2005 8:33 pm

I saw one of those guys on Survivor while vacationing in France once. I think his name was Ethan.

Well, I'm not sure if I saw him. I didn't recognize him, but my parents did and pointed it out to me after he passed.

iKipapa · **Posted:** Tue Aug 30, 2005 10:07 pm

I've seen:

Tommy Lasorda
Newt Gingrich
John Cusack
Keanu Reeves
Tony Gywnn
Trevor Hoffman

It's funny. I actually saw Keanu Reeves and John Cusack in the same place. On the same day.
