Chelsea Clinton in 2002, I think.

She was dating a kid at my college who my girlfriend at the time was friends with. The boyfriend threw a party that I attended. I was wearing my Nat'l Honor Society shirt from high school and she made a comment so we chatted for a little bit, mostly about her grad school plans, I think. A bunch of us went out to a bar a few nights later. She was nice enough and a little soft spoken.

Does that usually get the attention of such fine ladies?

I have a friend of a friend whose father works for MTV in some capacity, and once I was at his place of work and met Rick Rubin. At the time I was about 13 and didn't have as much appreciation for the guy as I would now, but it was still pretty cool.

Yes, I got a lot of tail with that shirt. The best was after a fivesome one of the girls returned it to me the next morning.

Iggy's story wins. The Ben Wright story is awesome - I'm probably one of the few reading this thread that know him, but it involved way more hanging out etc. than some of the others, whose entire interaction involved an exchange along the lines of "sup?"

Mike Tyson lives here (PHX) so I see him once in awhile, but a few years ago when Jamal Anderson (I think that was his name) was tearing it up for the Atlanta Falcons for a brief time, Tyson came in our gym to lift with Jamal's father. Afterwards I was going to the steam sauna and a friend of mine was in the hot tub with him, talking. I joined in and had a brief convo w/Tyson, and to this day my friend is pissed that I barged into their conversation and tells everyone who will listen that I cannonballed into the hot tub (!) and that made Tyson leave. Dude is as short as he is wide, and didn't mind walking around with Mike Jr. waving all over the place. I couldn't help but look - Mike Jr. is almost as big as Mike.

This may be obscure to non-college BB fans, but about 15 years ago I went with my old man to pick up Lou Carnesecca at his hotel. My father has been in sports marketing his whole life and he flew Lou and Blazer Bill, from the Portland Trailblazers, into Cedar Rapids IA for some promotions. His team's head coach was Rick Barry, so I got to meet him too.

Funny, at the time Carnasecca was a college basketball legend, when I went to get him he was wearing his famous red sweater and stuck his hand out and said "hi, I'm Lou Carnesecca", I was like yeah, I know. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Super nice guy.

Antoine Walker when he played for the Celtics. I worked near a muni golf course that was in a very affluent town. Summer mornings before work I'd play nine. Played last two holes with him and his buddy one morning. Note: 6'9" guys from inner city Chicago are extremely bad golfers.

A charity golf outing attended mostly by retired NFL players. Rick Graf, UWisconsin, invited Chris Chelios, also UWisconsin, to play. A lot of drinking after the post round dinner. Couple of hours pass and it's down to about 12 people around the bar, Chelios is real drunk and wants to fight...anyone. He's calling everybody a p u$$y, NFL guys get sick of it and start pushing the drunk off, he keeps coming, NFL guys start giving him forearms, he keeps coming, NFL guys start slamming him into those room dividers they use to section off a ballroom, he keeps coming. Chelios is a pitbull, and likely insane.

I met George W. Bush in like March '05. I was a finalist in this science competition by Intel. He talked to us all for a bit, shook our hands, took some photos. He was a lot taller than I expected from TV. He didn't come off as a bumbling idiot like everyone seems to expect him to.

A friend of mine used to teach a spinning class, one time I accompanied her and Nicole Kidman was in the class as well... She was really bad at spinning.

At an airport in Las Angeles a few years ago coming back from a family trip, some guy in a pimp hat and suit walks in so my Dad said something like "hey, look at this loser, he thinks he's Carlos Santana." Obviously it was him. We didn't know at the time, but this was a few hours after he won a bunch of awards for Smooth. We went over and spoke to him for about ten minutes, he was impressed that my ageing hippy mother first saw him 30 or 40 years ago.

Another one from when I was six if there are any cricket fans here. When I was about six my Dad convinced me to go up to Devon Malcolm (English fast bowler) and call him a Pommie poofter bastard. Apparently he wanted to hit me, which I realise now is quite understandable.

I thought spinning was riding a stationary bike really fast? how could she be bad at that?
