Oderus Urungus

Awesome. I saw Gwar in concert awhile ago, and Oderus called Maine "the mutant cock growing out of the United States' forehead!" Which is why there are no celebrities here for me to meet...

Wilford Brimley.

I was 13, visiting Park City, UT. We met in a parking deck - my family and I were just leaving as he pulled into a space near us. He had a brand new pickup truck, with the factory sticker sill on it and everything. As he pulled into his space, he seriously tore up the passenger side - rear view mirror came off, and the door probably wouldn't open. (He parked next to one of the pillars that support the structure.)

He got out, and didn't even realize what happened. My dad told him, and when he saw the damage he let out a stream of all the most awful words a kid could hear. I don't think he had his oatmeal that morning. It was the awesomest thing I've ever seen. (Mr. Brimley, if you see this, you're still awesome and the internet loves you.)

That's so cool. I can just imagine - "I don't need this fuckin' shit! I've got the goddamn diabeetus!"

Neil Gaiman at a booksigning, and actually had a conversation that extended beyond what to sign

Man, that's awesome! Super jealous!

David Tennant, right after he finished filming the March Doctor Who special. It was freaking awesome.

holy shit you met Slipknot, damn I need to get out more.

 

[ExodusinFlames]

Well, I used to get drunk with AlexisOnFire, though I never liked their music
Hung out with countless metal bands, met the head dev from KoToR, which was pretty cool.

Coolest famous person ever was Dan Akroyd, hands down. My old bandmates and I were recording out of town, and we decided to get an early start on drinking one Tuesday morning, so we went to the local mall which happened to have a liquor store in it. Still hungover, my bandmates walked into the CD shop first, and I walked over to a sample table that they had there (MMM Morning Tequila). So I grab one, and it was good, and all I hear in that familiar "Ray Stanz" voice, is "Like it hmm?" For about 2 seconds I was shocked and confused, though that was mostly the hangover. He and I ended up sitting there talking for a while, just laughing. When my bandmates came back they were starstruck, retarded and unable to speak.

Similar scenario happened to another friend of mine who works at a local history hotel. Akroyd shows up, and for the week brings a dufflebag of weed. My friend was standing there with the bell hop who has the bad and clearly noticed the smell. All Akroyd said was "Now you're sure this is going to reach my room safely?" When the answer was laughed "Yes" he gave both of em $100 bills and went to sit down and eat.

Most win celebrity ever.

I've run into Robin Williams who lives here in San Francisco on several occasions.

One of them I'll save for a story in a moment, but I'm a little busy now.

I actually ran into him in Lake Tahoe once. Does he live in SF?

He lives in the Sea Cliff area of SF IIRC. According to friends of mine, at Halloween he gives large bags of candy during Halloween.

Anyway, here I'll share.

Long story short, a while back, I was a troubled youth. I went to a small school for emotionally/mentally challenged teens located at St. Mary's Hospital, by SF's Golden Gate Park. We affectionately called it the Retard School. It was housed in a wing of the hospital campus below a mental ward (where I was housed twice) and above what used to be a morgue (Where we initiated new kids by taking them to. I am not making any of this up.)

Every once and again, we would walk to GG Park. We stopped by the Koret's Children's Playground and encountered Robin Williams spending time with his kids.

One of my classmates, was this kid by the name of Diondre. He was this really obnoxious guy who suffered from a minor bout of autism, and he offended everyone and was also offended by everyone. I think I was one of two people in our small 20-24 person school that never hit him, or got into a fight with him because of his bullshit. Picture Steve Urkel with the brains replaced by swarminess and you have him.

So Diondre marches up to Robin Williams and goes, "Yo Why'd you dress up as a woman in that movie The Birdcage and Mrs. Doubtfire. You look like a fag."

As we were apologizing for his behavior, and telling Diondre to leave Mr. Williams alone, Robin grins wryly and replies:

"Well, look at you."

We all laughed our asses off. Except for poor Diondre who was so embarassed.

That is quite a long winded story but a funny coincidence at that. I ran into him when I was young and was taking a snowboarding lesson for the first time. I never went again but thats beside the point. He was actually drinking water from a water fountain and my mom noticed him but he didnt want to be publicly recognized so he signaled to my mom in a funny way that he was just there with his family.

 

[Deathsong17]

Well, I've met myself, but aside from that, none.

EDIT: But what's the big deal with famous people?
Why do people care so much? And what's so special about it?

It's because they recognise them and like their work, so they start to care about them. There's nothing specifficaly special, just recognition.

 

[ace_of_something]

Hmmm... MOST famous?
Probably the memebers of rage against the machine. My band opened for them (they would always pick a local band) we then went out to dinner afterward. Wilk was the coolest guy I think.

Oh wait no, I met Jim Henson when I was like 7. He took a picture with my brothers and I. I barely remember it but I still know it was the best day ever.

Hmmm...not sure who's the most famous, really. Tomonobu Itagaki? Peter Molyneux? Vin Diesel? Fabio?

Fabio. Definitly Fabio. Was he wearing an open button up shirt?

 

[teutonicman]

Paul Martin and Stephen Harper, sadly not at the same time though.
