Pro  4292    Evanston, |  Subject: RE: What famous people have you met?ugh, i was once leaving a party just as David Lee Roth showed up. we passed on the stairs. (TIP: you know that you have taken a wrong turn somewhere in life if you are attending the same social function as David Lee Roth.) Most famous person I've actually hung out with -- and this was in THIS lifetime, not that former one mentioned above -- would probably be James Taylor. But I was also pretty happy to meet Seiji Ozawa right after a wonderful concert he conducted, and to take classes from certain famous professors whose minds I respect. There are different types of famous. THIS weekend I will meet JeepFleeb! That's going to rock my world right there. Edited by CitySky 2006-01-13 1:24 PM |

| Buttercup 14334 | Subject: RE: What famous people have you met? I'm still friends with this man (the son). I don't think he'd appreciate this much (unless I mentioned he was a stallion). Think I should just drop it - I had no idea it would become a beer drinking game. |

| Master 1597 Colorado | Subject: RE: What famous people have you met? Not really sure. He said something to me in Spanish when I told the guard to make sure "Manny" had access to everything he needed, but I'm not sure that counts as a "conversation". Silly dicatator. Renee - 2006-01-13 12:08 PM Hah! Did you have a conversation or did he just glare at you? Stake - 2006-01-13 11:03 AM I met Noriega too. Of course he was being held at Quantico at the time. Heh... Renee - 2006-01-13 11:48 AM Manuel Noriega. His niece was on our swim team. Decades ago. |

| Champion 6539 South Jersey | Subject: RE: What famous people have you met? Not sure what qualifies as "met," but if at least invading their personal space, making eye contact, saying hello, or having a brief conversation counts, my list is: Chubby Checker (actually, I did The Twist with him) Wayne Gretzgy Michael Jordan Ron Harper Dr. J Jon Stewart All of Smashmouth Beyonce Jay-Z Brian McKnight Morgan Freeman Kathy Bates Renee Zellweger Edward Norton Kevin Spacey Mel Gibson Diane Sawyer Charlie Gibson Ming-Na Winona Rider Whoopie Goldberg Benecio Del Toro Michael Douglas Of course, I cheated - I used to have jobs that put me in contact with these people. |

| Master 1938 La Crosse | Subject: RE: What famous people have you met? So, have we not successfully guessed the name of the father of Renee's defloweree? Our clues are: a semi-famous Watergate figure later rehabilitated nicknamed "evil" not John Dean and not Liddy, though somehow related to them The best clue, in my estimation, is the "later rehabilitated" clue, which indicated that this individual went to jail -- and that limits the field greatly. We should be able to use the other clues to pick the winner from this list: John Mitchell Bob Haldeman Chuck Colson John Ehrlichman Jeb McGruder Fred Larue James McCord Liddy the cubans and I had to look these guys up: the other three members of the watergate 7: Gordon C. Strachan Robert Mardian Kenneth Parkinson Huh. No name sounds like "evil" to me. So that clue doesn't help. I'm going to guess Colson; he was the most prominent of the former watergaters to become an evangelical christian afterwards. |

| Pro 3906 St Charles, IL | Subject: RE: What famous people have you met? Renee - 2006-01-13 11:06 AMI doubt G Gordon has been deflowered. That's his problem. Retaining too much fluid. He's just denying you his essence. -Chris |

| Buttercup 14334 | Subject: RE: What famous people have you met? How did I miss this Rowdy story??????? My sister and I and her best friend ogled Rowdy when he was lifting weights sometime around 1977 or 1978. We were at a swim meet in Winter Haven. His star was just starting to rise at the time; my sister commented that Rowdy had kinda' just burst out of being an average swimmer to leading the pack. At the State Finals in 1981, held in Winter Haven that year, we ran around looking for Rowdy again (he was rumored to be there). Swimmer's body. Rrrrowl.
run4yrlif - 2006-01-13 7:19 AM I have a Rowdy Gaines story. The guy's always beeb kind of a hero for me. He didn't start swimming until highschool, yet became the world's best 100 freestyler not too man years later. Back in 1984, the summer before he won the 100 free at the Olympics in LA, he and Tracy Caulkins swam at an age group meet in Nashville that I swam at. This was a pretty cool thing, since I had never swum with swimmers of that calibre. betsybromley - 2006-01-12 9:42 PM Rowdy Gains (swimmer) Edited by Renee 2006-05-12 1:20 PM |
