Title: crap claims to fame...
Post by: theSketchLord on October 10, 2020, 08:58:52 AM
Saw a coffee table book once entitled shit claims to fame.
e.g. “My cousin was Peter Garrets roommate once”

Figured I’d waste a boring night shift seeing if anyone else has any.
I’ll start…

Once my dad brought me a mountain bike and the salesman told me that the bike before was sold to Michael Parkinson.

I told that story for years thinking it was genuinely interesting.

Go…

My dad was in a Superbowl halftime show sometime in the 80s as a dancer.

James Taylor used to babysit my dad and uncle. He'd come through town and have dinner with my grandparents.

My sister's dad did some background guitar work on The Chronic. He still gets royalty checks for it. He was also an extra on Family Matters, I have a sick jean jacket from the set.

My uncle was offered a job with the Walt Disney World Orchestra but didn't take it because his gf was pregnant. Turns out it wasn't his baby.

My bands music was used on a show on MTV2.

I've been to Tom Green's house, friends band was a guest on his show and he invited us to his house. Cool dude, hired catering for us.

We've been mentioned/featured in Thrasher a few times.

My grandma (RIP) was seated next to El Chapo on a flight once, yeah, THAT El Chapo. It was years ago, I believe the flight was from Sinaloa to Guadalajara.

I've save the rest for later.

My uncle knows a woman who constantly brags that she once had sex with the wrestler Ken Shamrock.

But don't get me wrong, it's actually pretty lonely being a part of the upper class.

Walked past Kevin Garnett in the stairway at a hotel that let us skate in the underground parking lot.  My friend said “holy shit, that’s Kevin Garnett.
He turned and kind of sneered “no shit, n***a. Don’t be fucking around near my ride.”  He pointed back at a yukon(I think) and while it was funny he was not kidding.

My dad dated Mike Smith’s mom for a time when I was 12-13 (I have an old dad) and Mike Smith used to send me little packages with Web Trucks and Liberty Skateboards shit in them so I rode some really weird completes in my early teen years. Saw him a few years later and he had no idea who I was.

Also Paz de la Huerta is my 2nd cousin and I’ve never met her.

My mom still brags sometimes about dancing with Frank Stallone once at some south Philly nightclub in the 80s.

Like a decade ago I used to sell pot to Tony Montgomery's cousin who was a local rapper. Also once to the guitarist for Marcy Playground when he first moved to the Rittenhouse area.

Had the band Health, wear my shirts in front of a few thousand Brazilians.

Asked my favorite baseball player why he likes camo so much. He responded live on air with my name and said camo just looks good on his skin.

Feel free to elaborate...

Was working at a health food store in jersey when I was about 19/20 and worked with this dude Tom. To catch a predator did a double New Jersey special and  the end of the first one had a preview for the next weeks episode. Showed my co worker for a brief second and I was like holy shit I think that’s tom. Told only a couple of people at work just in case it wasn’t him. Low and behold the next week rolled around and there was Tom trying to court a child. A bunch of people ended up watching it at work and he lost his job. Could probably still find the clip on YouTube too.

I saw Jack Nicholson one night in Vegas (it was around 3am and he was walking through the casino with his sunglasses on).

A girl from my computer class in HS, who I had a huge crush on, had some of her art in some exhibition the Louvre (she came from tons of NYC money, so that helped her get noticed).

A girl from my middle school was a Levi's model.

I sat next to Danny Way's girlfriend at the premier of his mega ramp footage (she was texting throughout the whole thing).

Dwayne Peters gave the manager of my shop a fist bump at ASR (also, fuck Dwayne Peters).

I was in the elevator with Dana White (the UFC asshat who inspired Dyrdek to start SLS) at JFK.

My ex girlfriend's uncle won a few million in the lotto.

I smoked weed backstage with the Kottonmouth Kings.

Almost smoked with the Verve. Even better, though, is that Richard Ashcroft remembered my name for a few days. On their first US tour, they played a show in Atlanta at the Variety Playhouse where I met them, then did one in Florida that was apparently at a burger barn according to his description. Then they played at the 40 watt Club. I was stoked he knew my name when we talked briefly.

My great uncle was featured on the show “Cops”. Unfortunately he was one of the cops

My "drug counselor" at the salvation army harbor lights was on cops in Lynn. Her name was Carmen. What a frickin bitch she was.

Uber rantism time.

I was on the bracelet from the county. I got there it was whatever. We didn't have to work at the labor camp thing so that was good. I could get visits after 2 weeks.

I'm in the shower and I'm like wtf? I got crabs!

They gave me an infested blanket when I arrived. So I go to the staff I'm like wtf! I been in jail for like a year. I'm here 3 days and I got crabs wtf! How!?!

Dirty blanket.

The bitch carmen goes send him to the infirmary back in Middleton.
I was like no frickin way. Your taking me to the hospital. You all know If I go to the jail for a topical cream. I won't be back. I'll go to the hole I'll lose my goodtime and my property. No we'll hold it. No I'm calling my lawyer give me a phone.
A medical lug is the same as a disciplinary.
You gave me this shit. I did not arrive here with them. I'm going to push for a lawsuit if you do.

We get permission to go to the hospital get the cream and get back from bmc like right before lights out.
Yo every other con knows. Carmen has broken my patient confidentiality. I'm just trying to wrap up in a few months but now this became a issue I had to deal with immediately with Alfa behavior. I hate that posture.

 I had to explain to these kooks that the crabs were here before I arrived. You all should go check yourself or we can just go talk about this in the bathroom right the fuck now.

No takers I went to my room they all went to the bathroom and checked. All clear but me. I was not fuckin in jail obviously. I knew these idiots and they knew me.

So this passed. Everyone became friends again. Not Carmen. She tried again to start problems time and time again.

She showed us the cops video. It was buck as fuck.

She stabbed her boyfriend up. All he wanted was her to leave. As the cops was taking her away she yells HES GOT WARRANTS!! HES GOT WARRANTS!!

He said something like fuck I guess I'll take the hospital ride.

When I wrapped. All the staff was like goodbye good luck. That bitch had the nerve to ask me to stay. Said that I should keep playing the drums with the Sunday band.

I said bitch I'd rather die than see you ever again. You shouldn't be allowed to work with those kids.

I saw her again about 18 months later. They had my ebt card and was buying food for the program without my knowledge because I had a job off the books that they set up.

Carmen said to me I thought you weren't going to make it. I was like You thought wrong bitch.
They all got pissed. I was like you fuckers used me to steal from the government assistance. You intended to use it as long as you could. How many other on the failing job sight got cards here?
 You got cons here and you hold their lives in your hands while making them jump thought the never ending hoops in your stupid frickin costumes. You enslaved millions in your wearhouses. I've seen minors sorting clothes next to their parents for 3.65 a week.
You tried to lug me because you got me infested with body lice with your sloth and broke my patient confidentiality.

Your lucky I'm not a frickin rat like this COPS bitch. Fuckin slavers. You will not have a happy ending if you continue this behavior. Your cult will fail.

Gimme my card I'm frickin starving.

I went back one more time to visit a homie. I asked where's that bitch from cops? Yoooooo that bitch relapsed hard in the bathroom. They tried to hide it but the state found out.

I was kinda stoked. I hope she didn't kill herself or nothing. I understand why she's like that. She's a victim of the war system just like me.

I can smell that place rn. That was like almost 20 years ago.

my dad chose not to cast kevin bacon in a film he made in college.. classic dad

My own personal claims to fame:

-In October 2019, I was in a tiny studio for 10+ hours taking photos/filming b-roll of Kevin Bacon and a slew of other comedians/actors for his podcast, "The Last Degree of Kevin Bacon"

-At my last job, I was told a high profile producer was showing up for an interview that needed to be broadcasted, followed by a podcast recording of him. I see a homeless looking guy in the lobby and assume it was some drifter who came in asking for directions or money. Laugh it off, grab my gear and start setting up for the podcast. Low and behold, people filter into the room I've setup for the podcast recording and the 'homeless' person I saw was actually Rick Rubin... barefoot, bearded and walking around the office.

-Ice Cube owes my uncle over 30k for unpaid production costs on "Friday After Next"

-My mom was a PA and got stuck in a dressing room with Val Kilmer and his gf while they argued for hours

-My aunt helped write Jefferson Airplane lyrics for a few songs and my uncle helped produced some of their early music

LA is a bullshit bubble of celebrities and the blue collar workers who perpetuate their exposure

For a while I dated a minor UK soap star and FHM cover girl.

Also, once me and a mate (who's not into music) walked past Henry Rollins and my mate shouts "Holy shit, that's the dude from Johnny Mnemonic!"  Pretty sure both me and Rollins LOL'd.

-In late 1992, I saw the Special Beat (Specials/the Beat combo band) and No Doubt was the opening band. This is pre-MTV etc. Anyway, we thought No Doubt was super corny yet Gwen was a fox. So we tried to boo them off the stage to get the Special Beat on, to no avail. After their set, Gwen was walking around and we kept trying to get her to come drink with us and she just looked at us and turned around. My friend Dante goes "fuck you then bitch". And we just laughed. You would be surprised to how many people think we made this up, which I don't get. If we were lying, pretty sure we would have given that story a "happy ending".

-Michael Devlin, kidnapper here in MO. Worked at IMO's pizza (local chain) forever. Me and my dudes hung out here from 1990 until this basically. Well, he apparently kidnapped a boy and kept him with him for years, then attempted to get another boy and got caught. Well.. we used to chill with this dude at IMO's all the time. Play pinball, smoke cigs and he'd eat pizza with us randomly. Quiet but friendly guy. For YEARS. I'm talking 1990-2007? We called him "Devo". Never would have thought this about the guy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rln6nNCVZdw

-Also in my town: This dude shot the mayor, cops and a few others at a town meeting, following years of zoning disputes. My friend Mike got a lot of speeding tickets and I'd go along to court with him over the years to pay them but we'd always see Cookie up there and smoke cigs with him outside, and talk. He was friendly to us always. Anyway, my brother and I were driving in front of the city hall about 5 minutes before the helicopters and shit swarmed. So while we were driving around the corner, he must have been unloading his guns. That part trips me out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vib2eOqAnRA

Also, the IMO's is like 3 doors down from city hall. Found that strange too, in a Bobby Puleo kind of way.

3

Anyways, that being said, these are like the only 2 crimes that have happened here of note in my whole life. Yet both are extreme. This town has been ultra gentrified and houses are expensive AF now, full of doctors and lawyers trying to steal the once small town vibe and make it something else. It has become the epitome of "white privilege" and "entitlement". Love the town, not so much the people anymore. Not many "regular" people anymore.

-Saw Corey Duffel at LAX and just said "Corey Duffel" at him and kept walking. That still makes laugh.

-in Venice, saw wrestler RVD loading his gym bag into his car. Made me laugh too.

-the artist of Clifford the Big Red Dog came to my elementary school and signed pics of Clifford for us. I don't know why but my 7 year old self took this very seriously (big Clifford fan here) and thought this was more for myself than the whole school.

-Won a McGruff (the crime dog) stuffed toy in a drawing contest in 4th grade. Was in the paper for this, was hyped as fuck. Side note: was disappointed that they had another winner, just so there would be a boy and a girl winner. I wasn't  bummed that a girl won too, but I was bummed that her drawing sucked and she won. If you could see how well I can draw McGruff versus her drawing, you'd see why.

-Won a bunch of track meets as a kid. Also in the paper, felt like a celeb for like 3 days.

Was front and center of the main splash page on Thrasher for a day. Loaded up the site and was like “what the fuck?!? Is that me?”

Wasn’t skating, just in a group photo for some book release. Really the highlight of a dismal skate career.



Everything else happens to people one step removed: One friend dated the daughter of the drummer from Cinderella. Another friend’s wife was cast in a Subaru commercial and she left my friend for the “boyfriend” in the commercial  (he now hates Subarus). My dad played golf with Charles Barkley. My mom was seated next to Kelly McGillis at brunch and kept staring then said something weird like “Your children are very pretty.”


I’ve got one friend who is a magnet for weird celebrities. He waited on Bill Gates and got a 15% tip, sold cellphones to 3 the Deadliest Catch captains, saw Joe Mantegna (or Dan Hedeya) having an argument with Liberian Dictator Charles Taylor at Barnes and Nobles, and is fairly certain he picked up Andrew Cunannon hitchhiking during his spree.

I forgot, I have , or had, a drawing on Crailtap, back when it first started. A Koston drawing contest. I'm not a big fan of Koston but I wanted to win a contest. The drawing that one was a little kids' scribble. But my drawing was on the site too so that was kind of neat.

my dad's shop sponsor made them skate with the plan b team at a demo and carroll was sittin down and shot his board into my dad when he was about to try a trick. my dad was and still is kinda a rough and tumble guy  so he got super pissed and was like ready to go with MC but got held back. honestly not that much of a story. my dad forgives Carroll. And my dads from VA so he would skate with Scott Johnston whenever he went up North to like DMV area and whenever Scott went south to VB or Richmond.

So my stepemum and I use to be close like bff's  so one night we were drinking just talking about traveling and I was mentioning I saw Jack Nicholson in the back of a convertible by two ladies upfront. 

She asks me if I've had anything dangerous/weird happen to me..... ? I said something to the effect usually not but when creepers ask for sexual favors it's not outright more of a suggestion like Do you have any money? She stops me right there and finishes my sentence with well I know how you can earn some........

I'm like what the fuck?! How do you know about this? She goes in to a lengthy story but I can summarize it so this was in early 70's she was hitchhiking in Southern California to San Louis Obispo she got picked up by a young Gene Hackman and well for the sake of argument I think he tried to be a creeper on my stepmum and she wasn't having it.

 Now mind you she looks sweet as an old lady now but she has a spitfire temper and I've seen her pull out a blade when someone tried to walk away with me on black Friday at a mall when I was a kid.

Think i brought this up here before. Was at an photo show for Templeton somewhere in LA in late 2003. Went into an adjoining show and the actor who was the principal from ferris bueller's day off started talking to me about my thrift store shirt because he thought it referenced where he went to college.

My buddy drummed the late 2000s iterations of Screaching Weasel/Riverdales, so backstage at a few of their shows. Ben Weasel seemed to be on some kind of Christian kick.

My sister-in-law's friend babysat for Paul McCartney's kids. My father-in-law is from Manchester and the babysitter must have told him at some point, because he'd always ask how her friend was doing after that.

Went to a New Year's party at the house of the guy who started Dekline. I don't remember him much, I just chatted with my friend and his friend, Miki Vuckovich, most of the night.

I grew up in Connecticut in the 80s/early 90s a few towns away from Brian Anderson, who was of course a local legend even back then.

In 1995, I had yet to see him skate in person until I entered a local skate contest, entering the same “advanced” division as him. When I saw him skate during practice, I immediately knew the legends were true and he was basically a professional skater, so I dropped down to the next division so I didn’t have to compete against him. Hahaha

I ended up winning the “intermediate” division and he coasted to a victory in the “advanced” division. He was easily one of the most naturally talented skaters I’ve ever seen skate in person and to this day is one of my favorite skaters.

That’s also why I bought so many pairs of the Project BA, because it always tripped me out that a dude from my era and area has a pro model shoe on Nike.

P.s. Donny Barley was a judge at that contest and pretty sure BA went on that infamous road trip to SF with Donny(the one that landed him on Toy Machine) right after the contest.

Not a claim to fame, but I went to high school with Matt Harrity, the officer driving the squad car when Justine Rusczyk was shot and killed a couple of years ago. I even went to a party at his house once. He was really nice, so crazy what he went through.

I also went to high school with Corey Millett (@dudedrinksonebeer) for a year.

When I was in first grade, one of the local news channels came to talk to kids about Christmas. Standard "what do you want" "have you been a good fucc boi this year?" etc.

Well, for some reason when it was my turn, I told the pretty lady that I'd been to the North Pole, and been to Santa's workshop, seen reindeer etc. My memory of this is pretty vague, but I do recall that the more I talked, the lady seemed more happy so I just kept on with my bullshit I guess.

Anyway, all the adults from the elementary school thought this was great or cute or whatever and I was like a little celeb for a week or so. My mom likes to bust out the VHS of this around Christmas, but I've dodged it the past 5 years.

I got to smoke a blunt with Red and Meth at a bar while on spring break in Jamaica.  It was one of those giant spring break parties.  Ziggy Marley was playing.  It was before Red and Meth were really big.  I noticed them in a shadowed corner b/c they're both tall AF.  I love their music, but I don't like to fan out/annoy people.  One of my friends is way more outgoing than me.  Meth had a blunt tucked behind his ear.  My friend goes, "Yo Meth, you need a light?"  He was down.

Me either. The dude was stalking some girl that went to my school for a while. Scary as hell to think about when you're older. He was in the bushes when I was at PE. I saw security and a principal pointing and the cops came, but we didn't know what was happening. A rumor went around that there was the dude jacking off but it seemed too crazy. Then we got some letter at the end of the day to give our parents. My best friend and I are leaving about to get picked up by my mom and they got a fucking tripod and everything setup. I just remember my friend in the backseat looking pissed with a big ass afro.

I saw him at Amoeba Records once. I was holding a few records, as I was walking past him, he noticed I had a Roky Erickson record. He gave me a nod, exchanged a few words, and we both went our way. I'm 5'9" and I was still taller than him, he was wearing military style boots that gave him extra height. He looked hella intimidating but was nice.

Easily one of my most cherished memories, it was fucking incredible. The sound system was unreal, basically took over his entire living room. No tv or anything (obviously). We went through his records and he said he was going through a series noise phase because he felt that it was this generations hardcore. He also showed me a drawing that d. Boone did for him, the story was that they were on tour and d. Boone at Rollins sandwich and Rollins went off the fucking rails on d. and to apologize d got him another sandwich and drew him a portrait of Rollins yelling at him on a napkin.

No it was in April of 2015 at the Newport Hotel. He used to bang my wife’s cousin. Me and my wife were there with my best friend, my wife’s cousin and her at the time boyfriend, drinking and smoking having a grand old time. Then my wife’s cousin notices the worm at the bar, ditches all of us to say hello. She ditched us for like 45 minutes and we all thought it was pretty sus, and I’d had thrown a few back and thought it was a good idea to get all up in his shit. Some words were exchanged, he was far drunker than me and eventually tried to call security by yelling security then he stumbled off.

When I still lived in Los Angeles I went to a bar/club called Dragonfly to watch bands play 80's night (this was around 2004-2005) and I'd often see actors and actresses there. One particular night I saw Mario Lopez. I had just finished taking a piss in their overcrowded bathroom and I was waiting to wash my hands. Mario is there at the sink about to put his hands under the faucet without looking because he was in mid conversation with someone. Some person to his left decided the sink was where they should take a leak, and what seems like total slow motion I watch as Mario moves his hands closer to the faucet, about to wash his hands in the wrong stream. My crap claim to fame is not crap...it's piss, or more accurately I was able to interrupt the potential mishap and warn AC Slater of what he was about to do. I didn't get a high five for my efforts fortunately.

Ben Schroeder mysteriously commented sarcastic laughing faces on my Instagram photo of my DIY Covid masks.

I checked his page and he seems to be on an ‘anti-government behavior control’ kind of kick, but I have no idea why he lurked me out of the blue.

Maybe because I was commenting on Duanes’s page. But I have no idea.

My good homie ian was in Slap Mag article when he was a little kid. Had something to do with little kid musicians. Sub pop was interested in him at the time.
There was a photo of him with guitar strings sticking out of his mouth.

Anyway he's also my drummer. Here a stellar track he one man banded. It's going into the VM pack

I forgot I also tried to bum a cigarette from Bob Mould at the 40 watt club one night. He had passed by earlier and I was joking with a friend that he looked an awful lot like the guy from Husker Du. I'm not sure if he overheard my comment, but he wouldn't give me one. He probably knew I wasn't going to smoke it and instead frame it for my wall. It was camel unfiltered.

My brother in law played baseball for the Braves and Orioles.
I visited my sister and him in Atlanta, summer after 11th grade and got to go with him and walk into the Braves locker room (it was empty he just needed to grab some stuff from his locker).
He was never a big name.

I did modeling for a speaker/headphone company, but they only used the photos where I'm blurred in the background.

I'm an extra in a major motion picture and if you don't blink at the right time you can see me walk by.

The local paper here did a short interview and took photos of me skating when they came to the skatepark. I knew they were gonna have some shitty shots but it ended being worse: they used the bail. And mentioned me by name in the caption.

Other than that my shitty band had regional notoriety and I have familial connections to famous people in Hollywood.

My dad got front row tickets to a midseason Bruins Capitals game in the 90s with probably the only money he ever made from his small moving company. The game got chippy and all 10 guys including the goalies fought directly in front of us (Dafoe and Kolzig were best men at each other’s weddings, they just kinda danced). B’s won in OT

Alyssa Milano (copies from a different thread with a part 2, as if anybody really cares)
She filmed her skinamax vampire movie in town I grew up in.  Her brother later went to the school and played hockey.  She was at a game of his I refereed.
Astonishingly tiny irl.  Came out of the ref locker room that was near the players lounge and boom, there she was.  Very small.  She was kind of by herself and with a wide berth but surrounded by people staring at her.  We walked out, she turned and looked, I looked at her, started walking away then realized who it was and just kept walking.  Fuck am I going to say, it’s weird your brother decided to take up hockey and do it at what was fast becoming an nationally known ultra-elite high school hockey program.

So maybe 15 years later, if you remember the tv shown about ice road truckers, there was a fairly attractive short woman who was featured fairly prominently. 
Anyway, the fame clock was somewhere around the 13:30 mark and she was in town to promote something somewhere.  I had to run to town for something and stopped for a cheap banana or doughnut and walked past a throng of people staring at this short woman who was buying something.  Nobody was talking but easily a dozen people were staring at here like she had finished peeing in the floor in the check out line.  Anyways, I bought my whatever and stood next to her and glanced over and she looked familiar like she was someone’s mother or a customer or something.  Maybe a doctors wife who did charity.  She said good morning.  I replied the same and then I left and got back to work and heard it on promo for her event on the radio and made the connection.  Again, what would I have said anyway?  “What’s your favorite gear shift pattern?”

Another dumb one.  Skating flat ground outside first ave in Minneapolis in 1995? 96?  Before a Rancid show.  Some dudes come from around the back of the club(on the first avenue side) and they kind of say what’s up, gave the homie some props of some flip trick and asked if we were going to the show or needed tickets.  We all had tickets and they quickly headed off to get some foods.  Whatever.  They opened the doors, we went back to the parking garage to dump boards and and puff and went back in. 
The guy who asked if we needed tickets was Lars.

I forgot about this one but the last shitty Terminator movie jogged my memory - was behind Edward Furlong in line at a McDonald’s near Six Flags in New Jersey. My friend whispered “Yo, is that Lil’ Eddie” and then Furlong said “One order of fries...” in his telltale croak. This was right after T2.

We also rode the then new Batman hanging coaster and did the complimentary drive through safari that day so it was pretty epic.

My buddy walks up with a Mohawk on his way to the show and I say something like “cool hair pussy” and Mickey hears it at the other table flips out, gets in my face talking shit about “not scabbin on no skinheads” whatever the fuck that means.

Was in St. Paul around 2002ish? was playing a street punk show out there at the red rocks venue?! not sure its been forever, So it's my band Suiciety, One Way System, Onward To Mayhem, & The Casualties.

I was an arrogant shit who played bass and a ladies man, so was talking to a few gals and well one was down to get down in the tour van. So unbeknownst to me she was seeing the guitarist for  Onward to Mayhem oops my bad!  Well I guess one of his friends snitched us out......  he was pissed none the less and called me out after the my set (calling me a piece of shit and whatever else) I was  like dude shes not your property...

Sorry bro I guess that set him off the bro part and knowing his gal wasn't really down with him. We fought outside and it was hilarious as I swerved him several times and just pushed him over like naww dog I'm not doing this High School shit jumped in the van and bounced. 

I think the worst part about about being involved in any scene doesn't matter the age generation whatever as long as there's a lady involved and she steps out of line or vice versa male who steps out on her or gal and gal or dude with dude they revert to little kids pitching a fit.  Where they show their true self, I know I know I've been a dipshit too and afterwards you have to chalk it up to its not your responsibility or your property to manage.

Jim Varney AKA Ernest P. Worrell was married to a close family friend and my grandma got us all personalized autographed 8X10s from him.  I was king shit of the 5th grade for like a week after that. 

Same grandma used to take me to Pacer games all the time as we were both huge fans.  Back when security wasn't as tight we strolled right out on the court pre-game and watched Reggie Miller draining 3s. Reggie's sister Cheryl happened to be there and came up and rubbed my head and said she liked my hair (super fuzzy little kid buzz cut), and chatted with my grandma.  I was way too distracted staring at my childhood hero warming up like 10ft away from me.

Got a gig as a boom mic operator on a Wheaties web commercial featuring Peyton Manning the year after he won the Super Bowl with the Colts.  Had the worst cold of my life and was chugging dayquil and cough drops for fear that I'd sneeze or cough in the middle of a take. 

A buddy and I were living in LA and got to be extras in a sketch with Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett (Now both regular cast members on SNL), while they were still doing Youtube as Good Neighbor.  The scene I was in got cut, but my buddy made it in and ended up with a speaking part.  They took us out for mexican food after.

My dad's cousin was a set teacher. She brought us to hang out on the set of Hook. Got to see the halfpipe and the full scale ship they built, astonishing. At one point Robin Williams led his lost boys, all in costume, on a stampede around the Lot causing general havoc.
Bangarang.

We met Doogie Howser and got signed headshots which I later regretted losing. He's multitalented but it's his reputation as a magician that most impresses me.

My brother's friend's dad's brother is Joe Flaherty. The weird part was randomly picking him up in my cab but that was before I knew the connection. I picked up Matt Pinfield at LAX, just a friendly guy - good atitude.
Also had Jimmie "dyn-O-mite!" Walker - cracking jokes the entire way to his pad.

This was all of 05 and 06 so the details aren't fresh but my most memorable passenger was Dill. Picked him up on a corner in Mar Vista heading to a bar in silverlake. It was a quiet ride and I don't initiate conversations but when we arrived I offered him half off, "you're Jason Dill, right? I'm not tryna blow up your celebrity, I used to skate a lot. Courthouse, HotRod etc." He was so friendly about it though. "Nahh man, we're all skaters, no big deal" something like that, all smiles.

I almost got to hang with Grosso when he came to Japan.

He was filming for the Japan episode, and I happened to be in Tokyo for one day while he was around.

The messaged him and said I’d like to treat him and the crew to come Asahi tallboys as a thank you for the Love Letters, which I immensely enjoyed.

He said sure, but our schedules ended up not working, and I missed meeting him by a couple of hours.

My best friend was on camp Woodward and is super close homies with Zane Timpson. His moment of fame was that he fucking clocked the annoying kid that season in the face. We became friends years later and camp Woodward had receded to the back of the FuelTV section of my brain. We were drinking one night when a key opened that locked section of my mind and i exclaimed "Holy shit you were on camp Woodward!" I always give him shit about being a washed up former child star now haha

You know those lotto ads where they ask what would you do if you won...well in the early 90’s, when Victoria ran out of money the old boy was coming out of the barbers and they asked him and straight away he says ‘I’d buy Victoria’

They played the fuck out of that ad

Old boy was the funniest cunt

My aunt used to be married to a semi-big name journalist, now op-Ed writer at the New York Times. He's kind of a gasbag and every time I read/hear him on the radio I want to write/call in and be like "remember when you left your kids and wife, moved to another country and refused to pay child support?"

God I love this thread so much.

Got a few more from least to most impressive:

1. My dad saw JFK get assassinated, was 15 and there on a school field trip. He was on the corner of North Houston and Elm.

2. I got a shoutout on the bunt once.

3. Ace sent me a box because I emailed them about how much I loved their trucks.

4. My kid was a flower girl and Dave Engerer’s wedding (pyramid country, sovrn etc) and I built the mini ramp (currently in my backyard) they had at their reception

Attached are photos of the box, the cake from Dave’s wedding, and my Darren Navarette KOTR jersey mentioned in a previous post.

One of the kids from a Pink Floyd band member was in my maths class. He only got 20 Quid a week allowance so he would´t be able to buy drugs.
He came by our house a bunch to scrounge for weed. Once he stayed up in my room while we went down to the kitchen. When i came back, i found him trying to roll a switch joint, the paper all crumpled, cause he had been trying it for 20 minutes.
I found it funny, givin who his dad was, that he didnt know how to roll a joint.
Bit of a douche though.
Oh and one of the princes of Spain went there too. Super nice dude.

One night on the way back home after some friends' live show in Wales we bumped into Nick Turner from Hawkwind who was busking on a sidewalk. My friends invited him to their place for a session and we ended up kicking it all night smoking weed and coming down off exstacy while they were jamming. Fucking unreal night.

My dad's cousin (RIP) was the main metal dude in my small hometown and in the late 80's people thought he was a satanist.

I was throwing out my trash at a mall Chinese restaurant and turned directly into MLB pitcher Cole Hamels.


Friends edition:

Friend’s sister and her friends drank at a bar all night with Paul Walker (RIP) in Costa Rica or Mexico.

Another friend’s sister slept with James Iha in NY but didn’t know who he was and had to google him when he said he was in the Smashing Pumpkins.


A few of my friends were eating dinner at a crappy sushi place and William Hurt was there. He was basically “holding court”, standing and talking loudly to his table. One of guys walked behind Hurt to get to the bathroom but Hurt was gesticulating wildly as he told his story and poked the kid in the eye.

 “Oh sorry.” he said dismissively then continued to regale his party with his tales.

I grew up around the corner from Kyle and Kurt Busch, who I gather are well-known NASCAR drivers. Kurt is a few years older than me, Kyle is a year younger.  Their dad was some kind of mechanic, and every one of them were assholes.  One time when I was maybe 10, Kyle sucker punched me while we were playing with our friend (who was a couple years older than me) and I ran home crying. A few minutes later there was a knock on my door and it was Kyle and our other friend.  Kyle was all sullen and mad and just said "Sorry for hitting you" in the least apologetic tone.  I realized from looking at his battered arms that our older, much larger friend had been whaling on him since I left and forced him to apologize through threats of further violence.

I followed nascar fairly regularly up until the the last few seasons and the Busch brothers are definitely huge in racing, especially Kyle who is arguably the most successful racer currently running in NASCAR. That being said your story totally fits as he’s the type of guy to throw a tantrum and wreck another driver for something minor, then let his crew team fight for him in the pits. He’s the guy everyone loves to hate, and he’s one of the main reason I quit watching.

HOLY SHIT YOU DM'D GROSSO?

Yeah. First time was years ago when i tagged him in a long board slide at the old Combi bowl done by a young ripper. He replied and corrected me on the coping block count.
Messaged him again about the use of helmets in downhill, and he was nice enough to reply.
And then when i saw he was in Japan and hit him up.
Like a man.

This same night I landed fakie 3-flip on this bank and I caught it so right. Jahmal clapped his deck and either Ponte or Panama Dan did too. I got drunk that night and was on top of the world. Maybe it's not a crap claim to fame, because my dumbass is still smiling 25ish years later.
