Total A list............I saw RUDY from the first survivor here in Harrisburg at a McDonalds... he was a dick....I asked him what he was doing here (here as in Central PA, not McDonalds)... "I'M GETTING A HAMBURGER" he semi yelled at me....hahaha...

I saw a mob of people attack Karl Malone out in Salt Lake City one time. I just watched.

I saw some PGA professional get semi mobbed at the Detroit airport, but he was dumb enough to carry his driver with him to draw attention so he deserved it.


Will Smith seems like the kind of guy to be pretty decent. Sounds like a nice experience! Did you score that night?

John Madden was way cool. The thing I remember most about him was the size of head and hands.....JEEEEEZUS Christ he was a big big man. His SB ring wuld fit around my neck JK but he was exceptionally large.

he talked normal (for him) but he came across louder than normal because he was such a presence in the room.

When I was in NYC last time, we were drinking at a bar in Manhattan late at night and I looked over to my left and Laurence Fishburne was sitting on the stool next to me! My buddy and I bought Morpheus a couple of rounds and talked about everything from The Matrix movies to philosophy (I told how his best work was in Apocalypse Now). He's a pretty cool guy. Pretty reserved and quiet. It was a great conversation to have with anyone, let alone a movie star like him.

Mike, that's pretty cool you got to meet Will Smith. I've heard from a TON of people that he's a very cool/nice guy in person. Seeing as how he was home in Philly, I'm sure he was in a pretty good mood. Good find!

In Miami, I've met the following...

Glenn Rice (former Heat player) - I bagged and took his groceries to his car when I was 16 years old and took a job at a grocery store as a bag boy for the summer, nice guy, tipped me $20

Sly Stallone - cocky dickhead

Dan Marino - funny and nice

Jennifer Lopez - so hot, is a sweetheart

Dario Franchitti & Ashley Judd - very nice, talked briefly about the S2000, which he owns one as well

Shaq - was in line behind the big guy at CompUSA with one of his kids, had a left me the **** alone look on him, but eventually he turned around and thanked me for not bugging him, ok?

Paul Walker - nice guy, seemed to be really into cars, met him on the set of 2F2F, they had wanted to use my S2000 as an extra

Will Smith - super nice guy, met him while he was here in Miami shooting Bad Boys 2

Martin Lawrence - funny man, met him also during the Bad Boys 2 shoot

I peed next to Josh Hartnet in a movie theater mens room. The only times I have seen him around town he pulls a bucket hat over his face because he does not want to be noticed.

I'd wear a giant t-shirt that says "Hey ladies, I am Josh Hartnet and I am really EASY!!! (but selective)"


I also conked heads with Emilio Estevez some time ago. He was playing volleyball and I was playing frisbee at a park in MPLS. We just said, "sorry" to each other But I was tempted to say, "Hey Brother, good work on that Paula Abdul. Score!"

When I was stationed at Ft. Myers, in Arlington V.A. while in The Old Guard (ARMY)

I met:
Former Pres. Clinton - COOL AS HELL!!
Pres. Bush - Down to earth guy, but I still don't like him as a Pres.
Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld - Robotic to say the least

Former Army Chief of Staff Gen. Shinseki - Awsome guy, I was in his retirement ceromony.

Former Joint Chief of Staff General Shelton - Very nice man, gave me a coin too.

Gen. Shumaker - Down to earth as well.

Also I used to valee' at Club VIP in D.C. and met the following:

Allen Iverson - This guy gets a bad rap and is very humble. We talked sports for at least 10 min and I got to park his Bently

The Ojays - They rolled up in a Ford Focus and they tipped me $100 to park them in front of the club

Kwame Brown - Did not really get to talk to him.

I know im leaving out allot more but i dont want to whore the thread
