SkinBasket's Famous friends

[Iron Mike]

I used to live in De Pere and in the early 80s, you could always find some Packers hanging out at Nicky's Bar on Main Street.

I had Jan Stenerud pour me a beer one time.....and he didn't even make me pay!!!

I once went to a packer game and saw Brett Favre there. I yelled "Hey Brett", but he didn't hear me because I was in row 62.

Well, did you try showing him your boobs???

Marques Johnson used to run with my high school bball team. His cousin Byron was playing for us. Tyrone always asked if he would share the blow. Marques never did. Marques was a bastard.

I saw screech at pick and save once. No joke.

David Meyers knocked on my door and tried to convert me to Jehovah's witness.

I saw Screech sucking cock for a quarter in the Port Washington Burger King bathroom.



It wasn't too bad and I didn't need the change anyway.

Same thing happened to me, but at Kopps. Bought him a small cone afterwards.

Brush with fame?
I met George Schultz in the 90's. asked him if he wanted my job. He declined.

Talked with Kevin Kronin (sp?) of REO Speedwagon at a benefit concert in 2000. We talked up the world series of rock. he seemed to think County Stadium was pretty cool. Didn't know the Packers stopped playing there.

Met Mark Eaton at a Jiffy Lube. Guy was almost taller than me - and he was sitting down.

Met James Watson. Total prima donna. Crick deserve the Nobel. Franklin deserved the Nobel (wasn't elgible due to cancer death). even Wilkins deserved the Nobel. Watson deserved a swift kick in the shnuts.

Coolest Nobel Laureate ever: John Sulston. Guy once was supposed to present a poster at a meeting, but all he had was one slide. So he taped the slide to a window and actually tried to show people the data on the slide, using the sunlight shining through. best presentation of the meeting. everyone who he talked to looked like they were at a peep show, trying to see the data on one slide.

Let's see...
Met Ray Nitschke at Tenuta's in Kenosha in the early 1970s (1973?).
Met Dennis Deyoung from Styx (Eek. Yeah, I know).
And JOE THEISMAN.
He was at the Venetian in Las Vegas last Saturday, at the Gordie Brown show. I wanted to sneak up behind him, snap a breadstick in half and yell "Lawrence Taylor." But cooler and wiser heads prevailed.
Dammit.

Met Kirby Puckett. He was cool.

Accidentally, walked right through the middle of a Kevin Garnett commercial shoot in the City Center in downtown Minneapolis. He wasn't happy. It was at the end of the day, so I assumed it was a long shoot.

Met plenty of Packers in Green Bay--usually during training camp or mini-camp.

Had some beers with former Hawkeye basketball players Les Jepsen and Roy Marble in Fargo.

Greeted the Bulls coming off their team bus in Seattle during the championship series back in the day. Standing three feet away from Michael Jordan was like standing next to the President. I was actually nervous. Toni Kukoc was cool.

Got to talk to Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson, Clyde Drexler, and Calvin Murphy when I officiated some charity events for the NBA All-Star weekend when it was in Minneapolis. Challenged Murphy to a 3 point shooting contest. This was back in the day when I could knock down college 3-pointers like they were 5 footers. That same year I played some dude for money in a 3 point contest. He knocked down 33 of 50 college three-pointers. He lost $10--as I knocked down 43 of 50. Anyways. Murphy accepted. We shot from NBA 3 point range--which I wasn't accustomed too. We both made 3 of 5. We went to a tiebreaker. We both made the first shot. I missed the second one. He made it. I lost.

I've met and have hung out with many of the players. Living in GB, it's small, people know people who know someone else, etc. Most people don't think of the players as celebrities. Ok, Brett doesn't count

Two of my very good friends run a top salon in Nashville, so I've got to chat with a bunch of country people, such as Faith Hill, Naomi Judd and Tim McGraw.

I can't stand country music now, but I loved it in my early 20's. I knew a DJ from a local station and he hooked me up to go to lunch with Tanya Tucker , that was cool.

I had a meet in greet with Aerosmith before, too. By far my fav "famous encounter" in my life!

[K-town]

Must have had a brain cramp.
How could I forget this?
I met Sammy Hagar last summer.
A great guy, very down-to-earth and funny.
And really short.

[BF4MVP]

You know Smitch?! Awesome..I would think he has to be in the running for NBA coach of the year..Avery will probably win it, but Smitch really has his Raptors playing at a much higher level than expected..Of course, they did trade for TJ Ford this offseason, I'm convinced that has something to do with it.. 8)
