No need to be such a stuck up prick. "Oh, that person doesn't have the same opinion as me. What an idiot." I'm an atheist myself but that doesn't mean I go around and denigrate people who are Christian, Jewish or whatever religion.Skiisk said:
OT: Never met anyone, seeing as I live in Norway.
Wouldn't really surprise me. I'm still not even sure it was Drake I saw, it was only up for about 3 seconds.GrimTuesday said:
I've met quite a few local politicians and my state Representative and Senator.
Also, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin. Both were very nice people.
Can't think of anyone else at the moment...

Met the late Edd Gould of Eddsworld at a Newgrounds London Meet. I'd had about two pints of cider at this point and I proceeded to hit on his friend who had come over from Sweden for the meet as well.
Did I mention we're all guys and niether of us is gay? Swedish people are insufferably sexy. Especially after alcohol.

My parents tell me I was patted on the head by an actress as a baby. I can't think of her name right now, she played the mom in that movie where Natalie Portman was the daughter and wanted to be a figure skater or something. I'm feeling too lazy to google it right now also I don't remember the title.
EDIT: After doing some googling, I'm even more lost because it doesn't look like Natalie Portman was ever in a movie about ice skating.

I met, and was yelled at, by Lewis Black. It was just after a standup show and the couple in front of me asked if I could take their picture with Lewis who looked at me and yelled "Hey Kid! Don't fuck it up!" I then got him to sign my ticket.
Normally I wouldn't want to be yelled at in 99% of cases, but yelling is Lewis Black's specialty. I felt honored

That's freaking hilarious, sorry, but it really is. I'm a swede too you see, so I can see infront of me a five year old headbutting the king while his family looks all suprised. XDDanielBrown said:
OT: I haven't met any celebrity since I'm still young, though my dad have met some swedish celebrities such as Jan Guillou and Lasse Åberg.
No one.
So I'll say the CEO of Cambridge Raincoat Company, Sally Guyer.[footnote]Know her? I don't blame you if you don't, but she'll strike with her products, you'll see, you will all see![/footnote] She came into our business class to tell us what it's like to be in business selling raincoats at about a few hundred pounds per coat, but mind you they were some damn quality coats.

I met Dave Willis and Dana Snyder, when they performed at the Aladdin theater in Portland, OR. I gave them my Meatwad impersonation in a contest, and I made it to the final round. They later signed my movie poster (the Aqua Teen movie). One of the best nights of my life. You can keep Brad Pitt and Jon Hamm; I still want to meet Brian Posehn and Tim and Eric!
The wife ? I want to say her name is Gabriel ? from American Pickers (she's hot), Billy the Exterminator from... Billy the Exterminator (dude's friggin' short), Jason Earles from Hannah Montana (also short), and one of the people from Adam's Family (he was old)... sue me, I can't remember which actor.
I met Lionel Richie at a Starbucks in LAX. It was uneventful.
I also saw Tim Robbins in a Toys r Us. That was just odd and unexpected.

Made an ass out of myself in front of Julia Gillard (Australian prime minister) once. She came to our school for an opening ceremony for some new building the government paid for. They initially needed people to fill the seats at the ceremony so the vice principal pulled up my class and told us to go watch. Being the nerd I am, I would have preferred to be doing physics and I wasn't very silent about it. Then people started showing up so I had to stand, and the only place where there was room available to stand was at the front, so she started hearing my complaints to my friends.
Shot me a very nasty look as she left. Then like a month later she became Prime Minister, and now I can say I've pissed off the Prime Minister of Australia. But dammit, I stand by my remarks that having an opening ceremony for one building of a school in some rural dump in the middle of nowhere is a completely pointless job.

I met Kevin Smith, he visited our university. The students kept asking stupid questions so I approached him for some 1 on 1 questions after the show.
I also played a round of polo with the Harlem Globe Trotters. They were staying at the same hotel I was. Yea I suck...

Over the course of my mixed martial arts training, I've met some fighters who came to the club I was training at to do seminars. I've met Carlos Newton, Demian Maia, and on my 19th birthday, I did a seminar with Claude Patrick, and had the honour of being triangle choked by him.
Thanks for the laughs.Kyoh said:
While certainly not as awesome as many of these, I got to meet Olympic gold medalist wrestler Rulon Gardner when I was in fifth grade.
I once saw Alan Davies (British comedian) at a maths lecture, and I passed Paloma Faith going into Topshop on Oxford Street. I don't listen to her music myself, but it made my sister jealous.
I didn't actually exchange words with either of them though.
I did speak with all four members of Blind Guardian (my all-time favourite band) at a meet and greet at a festival last year. They all signed the CD sleeve of my favourite album, and Hansi (the lead singer) said he liked my hair, which was bright blue at the time (almost certainly just being polite, but whatever). That made my life, and I would not shut up about it for a week afterwards. I proudly display the signed album on my windowsill at home, and when I'm visiting family or whatever I take it with me and keep it safe in my bag.
I'm normally not the crazy, starstruck type, I swear! I just really, really love Blind Guardian

Jealous- he's probably my favourite actor and, from what I've heard, an absolute legend in real life.Gabanuka said:This god of a man
He gave me acting advice!
