Jerry Lewis was in town one day and he came to shop. He acted like a douche. He asked if we can have security walk around with him so nobody would bother him. He basically ignored anyone who tried to talk to him. When someone asked for an autograph he actually said," im not on the clock" He bought socks or underwear or something and demanded to be brought to the front of the line

This is awesome. "I used to be important!! Really!! Look at me!! Why won't anyone look at me!?!?!"

I met this scrapbooking celebrity once, but...I guess you'd have to actually care about scrapbooking.

I met Mr. T back in the early 90's in a chicago deep dish pizza resturaunt. I was really young at the time but I did manage to say hi to him. He was picking up a take out order so he didnt stay more than 1-2 minutes.

I met former Senator from NY, Al D'Amato. He was in the building I work at for some reason - I was going downstairs to get some coffee - he was in the elevator and held it open for me (he was unaccompanied)....small-talk conversation for 4 floors. never would have voted for him - but he was nice enough.

Took a shot of Tequila once with Robert Horry at the Ivory Husk in Tuscaloosa.

Had a drink\spoke with Melissa Stark at a bar after a MNF game. She was very pleasant and surprisingly enough not many people recognized her.

I once was walking out of a grocery store and the tall bearded guy walked by me. I turned around to get a 2nd look and the person behind me thought I was looking at him. I took a few more steps and it dawned on me that the tall bearded guy was Mike Gminski. So, I turned back around and told the guy behing me that Mike Gminski just walked by. The man grinned and I realized that he was George Seifert.

Al Gore

My dad's good childhood friend is in the secret service, so he hooked us up with a photo op when Al Gore was in town during the Clinton administration. Didn't really talk to Al Gore, but my dad's friend let us get in the armored limo which was pretty cool.

Jimmy Carter. I'm friends with his grandchildren.

Lots of young Atlanta Braves. They go to the same bars all college kids do.
