I once met Robert Plant. Me and a couple of buddies were sitting out in a pedestrian street in Bergen Norway, busking and generally just arsing around with random songs we'd play.
Robert Plant walks up to us. We knew he was in town for some blues festival thingy but it didn't occur to us that he'd be wandering around amongst us mortals. He starts engaging us in conversation, talking about random stuff and asks us to play a couple songs. We played some Zeppelin, and afterward he applauded. I told my dad who was in town as the same time as us but was off shopping somewhere that we'd met him. Plant is one of his biggest idols.
He later confessed to seeing him inside a record shop just before he'd come up to us, but he was too scared to go talk to him. I bring this up every christmas.
This is my #1 feeble claim to fame and also my only real celebrity encounter.
(my #2 is being in the WoW credits, but that only works in geek circles)
Ok... Go
PS no lies

He was running away from a fight, as I recall.
I advised my mother not to disturb the young man.
She was very subtle.

Also, he's a short dude. I'm like 5'10 or 5'11 and I was taller than Chuck Norris. Still, for an old dude he's in great shape.

Went drinking with Randy Couture's daughter once and she gave me his phone number, said I could go tour his training camp (back when he was still in Portland)
Edit: oh, more
Went to an afternoon Mariners game last summer - get to our suite and Jimmy Carter was in the suite next to us. And yes, he was eating peanuts. Before the game started, Secret Service let us chat with him and I bought his aide\PR lady a beer (he said he didn't drink...), we got to take pictures and get autographs, then we happily left him alone to enjoy the game. Was pretty cool
I got pulled up on stage at the Windows 2000 launch party and met BillG. He's very small.
I was like, "No way, Sam Neill. You better stay away from my cock, Sam Neill."
That kind of counts, right?
Was he touring with Kevin Federline?
By touring I meant was it their shift in the kitchen?

It's K-Fed, son.
K-Fed.
Oh man, I think I would have rather paid the cover to see him work a kitchen. Dude was kinda awful.
That would be a reality TV show I would watch. K-Fed and Vanilla Ice doing horrible, shitty jobs while being mocked by onlookers.

It's a strange situation. I love Ice, Ice Baby, but I could never, ever, ever bring myself to pay money for it.
Jose Conseco, Barry Bonds, 311, Doogie Howser, and Joe Montanna.

Walter Koeing.
He's about as Russian as Babe Ruth playing Baseball.
The character's name is Pavel Chekov.
HEY WAIT
Couple years back, Kane Hodder (the man who plays Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th) was at FanExpo, a combined Sci-Fi/Anime/Comic Book/Video Game/Horror convention.
Horror was a new addition to the con that year, so there were a lot of guests who were horror movie folk who really had little other reason to be there. For example the guy who did the voice of the Cryptkeeper from Tales from the Crypt.
Kane Hodder was there, and like most of the horror-related guests he didn't really have a line-up or anything. So, in addition to getting a picture taken with him, I chit-chatted with the fellow a little.
At one point, he made what I thought was a non sequiter comment: "Hey, are you into anime?"
I was taken aback, but hey, the strangest people are anime fans, right? So I say "Yeah, sorta."
"Okay, listen, I got a question: can you tell me what Yaoi is?"
I was dumbstruck. I didn't know what to say, or how to explain it, or even why he was asking.
As I was sort of silent and stunned, he continued "See, 'cause I've seen these chicks with signs like "This way to the Yaoi table" and t-shirts that are like "I
So I tell him the truth, bluntly "It's gay porn."
And he nodded, explaining that he knew there was anime porn.
"So, like, lesbians and stuff?"
"No, that's Yuri, that's a different thing."
"Yeah, but... the people I saw with shirts and stuff, those were chicks."
"Yeah, Yaoi's primary audience is straight women."
The look on his face could only be described as "does not compute". It was like his brain had crashed, blue screen of death floating in front of his eyes while he frantically sought out a cerebral ctrl+alt+delete.
All he said was simply "That's fucked up."
I nodded sagely, and we spoke no more of it.
And that is how Jason Voorhess learned about Yaoi.
Now I know who you get it from.
So is your mom a Pilot?
Or is she in fact Harrison Ford.
and Jim Lee, who was part of why comics sucked in the 90s:
Nah, she was a Cabin Service Director...
Basically the head Stewardess
MY Dad also went missing for three days with Mel Brooks. Supposedly on a drinking bender. He won't talk about it
Or Kurt Russel.
