    My old guitar teacher (Hereafter referred to as Lenny) told me he met Rivers Cuomo (guy from Weezer). It was right around Green Album, and he was with his girlfriend in a record store. Lenny sees him, and asks him if he is Rivers Cuomo. Rivers says yes. Lenny calls his girlfriend over and they have a nice chat. But here's the thing.

    Not once did Rivers make eye contact during the conversation. His eyes were focused on Lenny's girlfriend's chest the entire conversation, not once breaking.

    Rivers Cuomo is a strange man.

    I met Patton Oswalt when I first moved out to SoCal a few years ago. I told him my name was Phoenix and he strongly implied, through physical pantomime, that my parents smoked weed. He was correct.

    Also I didn't realize it at the time, but I met Wil Wheaton at ComicCon a few months ago. He came up to the booth I was working at and shot the shit with a couple guys there that he apparently knew. He showed off a few of the comics he bought, we all made small talk, then he left. Then someone happened to say something or other about Wil Wheaton and I'm like 'ohh so thats the dude. huh.'

    Oh! Oh! And my best celebrity story:

    So I was up at the recording studio our company uses for our voice work, and we just finished the last session before lunch. We're just sitting around, waiting for something I don't remember. So the door swings open, and in walks Mr. John Ratzenberger, of Cheers fame. He looks up at our projecter, where we have the script showing, and makes fun of one of the characters's names. Then he's like 'sorry, I just stopped by to use the can.' and walks out, never to be seen again.

    Apparently he's friends with the guy who runs the studio, was in the neighborhood and had to pee really bad. You rock, Cliff!

    The closest I've come to meeting celebrities is knowing a guy that was an extra on Degrassi.

    Or maybe the time I met leading steady state physicist Jayant Narlikar when I was little.

    Hahaha that's awesome. Didn't he have a whole deal about being celibate for like, two years? That could mess with a man's head, I imagine that after a while its just like man, look at those.

    The best celebrity story I ever heard was on SA. Some dude said he was walking along some street in new york one night when he passed Christopher Walken. When he realized who he was, he turned around and said, in disbelief, 'Holy shit! It's Christopher Walken!'

    He turned around, mocking his tone, and said, 'I KNOW!'

    Now I know what I'm going to say if I ever see Christopher Walken walking down the street at night, in New York.

    Eating dinner with his manager or something. All I did was smile and nod at him while I walked by, he smiled and nodded back.

    So at least he's well mannered.

    EDIT: Checkov; I didn't know who he was, my dad pointed him out. And at that point, futurama was either not airing or I wasn't into it enough to remember that quote.
