The closest I can get is that I've met Brett Hull three times. Twice during his hockey camp in my home town and once at my uncle's retirement party. My aunt & uncle own a bar in Northern WI and we were having a party for his retirement on a Saturday afternoon and Brett Hull just showed up out of nowhere to have a drink at the bar.

Met Mick Foley during a work function, and ran by Alec Baldwin.

That about covers it.

Frank Perdue was my dad's boss and I went to school and am friends with his grandkids so we were pretty friendly. I went to his funeral.

As far as "real" celebrities, I have met David Letterman, Cal Ripken Jr., many current and former Ravens players, Alan Dershowitz and Nelson Mandela.

circa four years ago I met michael jordan at a hotel in mexico. he was chillen in a hot tub with a couple of people. when he got out i got his autograph. That was bad ass.

This summer when I was buying my computer for school I saw the older brother from malcolm in the middle buying a mac. You know, that guy whose brother is on that 70's show? Yea, i didn't care much either.
