Brushes With Dubious Fame

[NYU 0]

So yeah, last night I went to a bar called Porky's in Manhattan. It is there, after a few minutes, that it's brought to my attention that Topanga from Boy Meets World fame has just walked in. Yes, her real name is Danielle Fishel but her real real name is Topanga. So anywho, in a scene straight out of "Coyote Ugly" or one of UTSU's wild frat parties, she winds up getting on top of the bar, gyrating with the other dancers, and pouring liquor into the mouths of every guy in the place who flocked around her. Needless to say, I got around four shots of booze before getting pulled away. I don't think Cory Matthews is going to be very happy about this turn of events but he never should have kissed that girl on the ski trip when he twisted his ankle in the first place.

 

So who else has encountered C-level or D-level stars and lived to tell about it.

[Guest Vitamin X]

At the behest of Sensei John Kreese getting pissy about me re-telling (again) about people I knew/met growing up, I went to jr. high with Danielle Fishel.

 

Of course, it's been like 12 years since I saw her- did she have the nice tits still? She has kind of a chunky build, though.

Balls Mahoney hit on my mom.

She actually wasn't showing them off too much last night. She doesn't have the nice body she once did but I mean, it's not like she's down to TSA levels. She's still very cute.

You win.

 

I almost literally ran into Carla Perez a C-level Brazilian Celeb when I was getting off a bus in Salvador Brazil.

I think I walked by Jason Ritter once.

I almost literally ran into Carla Perez

 

A buddy of mine and I were in Toronto for a Jays game a few years ago when we saw a metre maid ticketing a car. Running to prevent this, former Muchmusic VJ Juliette Powell shoved my buddy out of the way. I'd forgot all about that until you wrote 'literally ran into'.

Oh, the Toronto thing reminds me; I saw the actress who played Lucy on Degrassi standing on the street one time while I went by in a streetcar.

I saw Willem Dafoe at a supermarket in Oxford, Maine of all places (I guess he owns a camp in the area or something). And I know it was him because you can't really mistake that voice of his.

 

Stephen King spoke at my high school. He was originally supposed to just do a short writing workshop with about 50 kids but then they somehow managed to dupe him into speaking in front of the entire school as well. He was kind of amusing, he made fun of the movie adapatation of Dreamcatcher.

 

I've met several wrestlers but the most interesting signings I went to was Tony Atlas signing at a used car dealership and Scotty 2 Hotty signing at a grocery store. Scotty 2 Hotty was really quiet and vaguely rude but Tony Atlas seemed like a hell of a nice dude. He wouldn't stop talking to me. This was shortly after the episode of MTV True Life that he was in so he wouldn't shut up about that. Atlas actually sort of lives in my area (about 45 minutes away from me). I saw him again about five months ago at a grocery store. This time I was wise and didn't say anything to him.

I'm pretty sure I saw Pete Gas having a night on the town with some friends in Atlantic City a few years ago. I also ran into Petey Williams when I was taking the garbage to the bins at our complex. Oh, I watched a PPV in 2005 with Johnny Devine while he told stories about a gay wrestling promoter everyone hated. I've chatted with Rupert Jee at the Hello Deli a few times too but I'm pretty sure anyone that knows who he is and has been to NYC has done the same.

I walked by Omarion on Melrose Street in LA. He smelled great.

 

I perform every week with MadTV's Bobby Lee.

[treble 0]

The weirdest wrestling story I have was when I was at Bound For Glory in Detroit. At the convention the day before, Earl Hebner came up and stood between my friend and I while we were standing next to the stage thing they had set up.

I remembered another real sub D list one. Bob Ryan of Around The Horn and substitute PTI host fame at a couple of tables away from me at Mike's Pastry a month or two back. It is one of two times I've seen my father absolutely starstruck. The other time being Curt Schilling saying "Hi" to him outside the hotel The Red Sox were staying in in Baltimore.

Weird Al Yankovic was nice enough to meet with the handful of people waiting outside his tour bus after his show in Waterbury, CT this past summer. Real nice guy, he signed my copy of UHF, and took a picture.

 

Penn and Teller were nice enough to meet and take pictures with everyone after their show in Vegas when I was there this past summer as well.

 

I bumped into Pat Boone once a few years ago in Washington DC

 

I met Todd Grisham and Rajin Singh wandering around Mohegan Sun after RAW back in January

 

That's really all I can think of right now

[Guest Beastalentier]

I met Len Kasper and Charlie Villanueva (the MarvinisaLunatic of the NBA) at a radio station. I shook hands with both. I knew Len was going to be in that day, and I was going to ask him about Mr. Show, knowing he was a fan, but I didn't have a chance.

 

When I was younger, my mom and I ran into longtime channel 7 news anchor Linda Yu at a nursery. The employees worked very hard to meet her flower and shrub needs. Given the choice, I wish I could've run into Ron Magers or Joel Daly instead. Now there are some guys with stories to tell.

 

This thread makes me want to revive Tales of Laziness or Mundane Sports Achievements.

I used to cook cocaine in Scott Baio's basement. Not sure if that counts though.

In Broadway Park in Elmhurst, they hold a basketball tourney and Charlie Villanueva was playing. We were right there watching him miss FTs, and get outhustled. If we wanted to we could have gone onto the court and steal the ball from him. His team ended up losing, but after the game I got up right behind him and was about to get him a pat on the ass but he'd probably chokeslam me if he didn't like it, so I decided not to.

If I told anecdotes about wrestlers, I'd be here all day. So I won't.

 

When I was a little kid, my family took a trip to NYC. At one point, I almost got squished by some old non-safety elevator doors, but Dr. J Julius Irving grabbed me and yanked me out of the way.

 

I was working at a movie theater one Saturday afternoon during the hot summer. A bunch of employees had no-showed, so the only people in the lobby were me and a girl at concessions, and the manager selling tickets. We've all got long lines, and suddenly I look to my left and there's some old lady standing next to me, she'd walked behind the counter and was screaming about how we're mistreating all these poor people waiting in line and need to hurry up. I muttered something like "we'll get right on that" and ignored her. Wasn't until later that someone else told me it was Naomi Judd.

 

he made fun of the movie adapatation of Dreamcatcher.

As well he should.

 

Oh, I watched a PPV in 2005 with Johnny Devine while he told stories about a gay wrestling promoter everyone hated.

Please tell me he was talking about a big fat queen from Tennessee called Bert.

 

I met Todd Grisham

And you didn't kill him when you had the chance?! Shame unto your family for seven generations.

 

I used to cook cocaine in Scott Baio's basement. Not sure if that counts though.

This is one of those where I'm not sure if you're joking... and not sure if I wanna know.

 

Balls Mahoney hit on my mom.

I ate dinner in the same restaurant as Rich Rodriguez last Friday. I didn't say anything to him because I hate the University of Michigan.

 

She actually wasn't showing them off too much last night. She doesn't have the nice body she once did but I mean, it's not like she's down to TSA levels. She's still very cute.

 

 

She's starting to look a little like Linda Hamilton.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Jingus: Yes that sounds about right. I know it was Tennessee he was talking about.

[Jingus 0]

Yep, that's gotta be who he's talking about. Bert Prentice, aka Christopher Love, is pretty infamous around there, and he did like Johhny a lot as I recall. Jericho devoted a whole chapter in his book to talking about the time he almost worked for that guy, and anyone who spent some time around TNA back then will remember him. (Although it might tell you something about the Nashville wrestling scene that there were three other gay promoters he might've been talking about.)

[King Kamala 0]

Oh I'm pretty sure 90% of you won't know this guy (Which I guess is the point of this thread) but an improv group I was in back in high school opened up for Maine's Jeff Foxworthy, Bob Marley (the comedian). He was also in The Boondock Saints.

 

I asked him to host my high school's sketch comedy show and gave him my number...He never called back. Our centerpiece sketch of that show if he had agreed to host it was going to be called "Bob Marley and The Whalers". Clearly, I was a clever lad.

No real man would drink something that is electric blue.

No Zarley Zalapski, no cry?

I met Lawerence Phillips(yes the troubled football player) when he played here in Calgary for a brief stinit, he was actually nice to me. Good thing I didn't challenge him to a pick up game.

 

I got Batista to threaten to kick my ass back in 2005...

 

 

[Mik 0]

I met Owen Hart. I got taunted by Golddust and Luna a long time ago.

 

I also ate dinner next to Skull Von Krush at a Perkins in PA one time. The rest of the ECW roster, minus the big stars, came in about 20 minutes later. I'd say this was 98 or 99.

 

Non wrestlers... I got just about nothing. I met Sean May and Reyshawn Terry in 2005 title year, so I guess that's cool.

[Twisted Intestine 0]

I got Johnny Devine thrown onto my lap, as well as talked to Raven and had him sign my skirt after the show.

 

There used to be (Don't know if there still is) a video on YouTube, of Tom Green spittin rhymes with his arm around me.* He had a video crew with him for the tour, don't know if he ever did anything with it.

 

*Apparently attempting to break the world record for the worlds longest free style. I never checked into if he actually broke it or not.

I shook hands with Dave Winfield!

Oh yeah, and I met Bob Barron once, too.
