famous people you've met.

Thu May 03, 2007 4:06 am

Well first off I want to say that I am going to start posting more @ these forums. Oh well now to the point of the thread. Yesterday was my greatest day alive, nd I realized I've compiled a couple of autographs in my room. Last night I met patrick ewing in drive thru. I shook his massive hands, confessed my love to the knicks, got an autograph, gave him his food. I was so happy. Thanks to my job I met a few more celebs. I met rapper fabolous, dj clue, Q-tip( tcq fans!!!) , boxer winky wright, nd actor chris rock. Thanks to my job I've met the people nd compiled autographs and I'm happy as hell!! So who have you guys met?

I met Shawn Bradley's foster sister via e-mail and she actually sent me an autographed card of Shawn Bradley. Funny thing was, I pissed him off when I told her to show him a picture of Penny Hardaway dunking on Shawn (I had a Penny Hardaway fan site).

I saw Bill Clinton, his daughter, and the secret service on a street at New York City. Got pictures, but didn't get a chance to shake hands with him. I also could've sworn I saw Jada Pinkett walk by at Manhattan.

That's pretty much it as far as I can remember.

Darryl Strawberry at New York Stock Exchange Floor
Steven. A Smith at Detroit Metropolitan Airport

Disturbed at concert last semester
Marcus Camby... can't remember where...

Didn't we already have a topic like this not too long ago? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty certain we did. I thought someone just bumped that topic.

Oh noes, what did we do to you?! :P

Hmm, famous people...nopes, can't say I've met anyone famous. My life sucks. Oh wait, I've met Gilette. I use him to cut myself. That feels good. I feel all special on the inside when it bleeds.

if i saw the lakers' play by play man i would smack him in the throat with a lead pipe so he would never be able to announce anywhere again.

I met Dida, Cafú, Kaká, Ronaldo from AC Milan a few weeks ago at a Brazilian party at the Residence where my dad works. I got autographs from all of them except Dida. I also met Milan president and former Italian first minister Silvio Berlusconi at the bathroom at San Siro, a few years ago. He was surrounded by security lol.

Also met Crespo, Zanetti, Cambiasso and Maicon from Inter FC at the "Scudetto celebration" in Milan a week ago and also got autographs. I even had the pleasure to exchange a few words with Hernán Crespo.

Can't remember of anyone else...

I met Tim Duncan fillin up his tricked out Hummer at an H-E-B gas station and shook his hands. I told him how was it like drivin a gas guzzler :lol: We shared a few quick laughs. I also met Jim Jones and the rest of the guys who sing "We Stay Fly" at my school. They came for a pep rally in morning. They sang in the auditorium, it was awesome.
