I got the chance to meet maynard james keenan after a tool show that I went to. I asked him to sign his name on a dollar bill. He signed it and then someone handed him a 20 dollar bill to sign his name on it. MJK looked at me and said 'you're a cheap bastard.' Everyone laughed. >:

I met violent J after he washed the paint off his face. Despite the fact that I enjoy his music, I didn't like him very much. He asked me how to say 'clown love' in sign language. Instead, I taught him how to sign 'jesus loves you.' :)

I ran into Louie Anderson and had this i-wanna-kick-you-in-the-nuts-so-you-cannot-have-kids-to-follow-you-in-your-footsteps thoughts in my head during our meeting.

My mom also met him, Woody Allen, and I think she might have met Paul McCarteny.

The drummer from Green Day hit on my sister when they went to high school together. I never got to meet him. :(

I also met Macho Man Randy Savage and Gorgeous George at X-Games one year. He was promoting Slim Jims as usual. I have his autograph somewhere.

Jim Mallon, cocreator of MST3K and the voice of Gypsy emailed me once to threaten to sue me.

I met Bob Odenkirk & David Cross and Brian Posehn and John Ennis and Gallagher and I made Mark Kistler mad at me becuase my drawing was better than his was lol

And I shook Dan Quales hand when he was Vice President.

Meh...Mine suck.

My mom went to the same school as one of the writers of the simpsons but didn't really know him.

My dad sold a snowmobile to chris benoit (that wrestler guy) and they were sorta friends for a while afterward.

Older. She told me that a few years ago and it was someone who'd been on for at least a few years at the time. I can't remember who it was right now though :(

I think his first name was matt (and of course it's not matt fucking groening).

Kevin Smith

Did you meet him at some comic book thing? He likes comics alot, and I am pretty sure you do too.

I saw some wrestler in Universal Studios once. I think he was from APW, but I don't like wrestling.

My aunt went to school with Will Smith. :/

Here are the people who I've met:

Emo Phillips pretty much just talked to me cause I was sitting in the front row during his act, and I was a 16 year old girl dressed like a tramp, but he was really nice after the show and gave me air kissies.

I saw John Neville in a play, at Stratford (Ontario) and he winked at me.

I saw Harland Williams at a party at the Masonic Temple (where horrible Mike Bullard tapes his shows...he's the guy Tom Green made barf with the dead raccoon) but we didn't talk. He smiled at me though! Then I got drunk and peed on the balcony, TAKE THAT BULLARD!

I also met some of the Kids in The Hall:

Kevin McDonald is just fucking funny, I saw him crossing the street and I said "why, I know you!" and he yelled "I'm SORRY!" in that funny voice he does and ran off looking over his shoulder at me. I saw him again once, when I was trick or treating on the street he lives on, only he was dressed like an old lady and in full make-up.

Bruce McCulloch is by far the sweetest. I see him all the time, walking his dog, and he always says hi and is friendly. I met him at a comedy show (Corky and the Juice Pigs, back when they were indy and funny.....met them too!) and I asked for his autograph for me, and my friend who wasn't there. He was so nice about it and wrote 'Hello Sweet Daphne' and then said "Ok, I'm gonna draw a line then do hers down here, ok?" which I thought was just adorable . And he wrote 'Suzanne, where were you??'.

Mark McKinney I didn't really meet, but he was unlocking his bike outside a coffee shop, and I saw him through the window and waved frantically, and he did it back to me, for a good 60 seconds before he rode off.

I've met a bunch of Canadian celebs, like Ralph Benmurgui (who's a sleazy fucking pervert) and Colin Mocherie (sp?), who I passed on the street and said 'Hi' to. And I've met all the lame Much Music VJ's, because they work around the corner from me.

I think that's it...

I suck and haven't met anyone that I can remember. I have seen McGuyver's house though since he sometimes lives in the area and is from MN.

2 of my friends saw Chris Jericho at Fortune Bay (casino in my small hometown) and we do get various athletes who show up for the winter festivities in our area.

I didn't even know it was him. We had gone to see a production his wife was in and while we were waiting to get her autograph we were talking to him about his snoopy tee-shirt. He seemed so amused with us. At the time we didn't know why. When I found out who it was I laughed my ass off.

By "suck it crew" are you referring to Degeneration X?

If you were, I'd have to be insanely jealous. They use to be my favorite when they were together.

I met Danzig after a show, he signed my ticket stub.
Also, at a DBX show, my friends and I were hanging out with Brockie (Oderus from Gwar) in the parking lot. He signed my wallet.

I met Matt Zanes after a show he opened up for, he's a pretty funny guy. I just wish I had his "Back stage sluts" video for him to sign.

First time I went to Spooky World, I met Kane Hodder (Jason from Friday the 13th). Couple of years later, I went again and Lou Ferrigno was signing autographs. Of course I didnt get his autograph, it wasn't worth the 50 bucks. He was much scarier in person. Those eyes, man...whoo!

Yes I am. :)
The guy who owned the fed I worked for had me meet him at the hotel they were staying at. I got to hang out for a bit while he was working out the autograph signing times with them for the next day.

I met Jonny Cash when I was 11, the Bionic Woman used to shop in my store...Lindsy Wagner?, David Copperfeild when I was 7, & that wrestler guy who wore kilts, he lives in Portland, so I've seen him around, talked to hime once. Oh yeah that famous mime came to my school when I was 6, but i don't know how to spell his name...Oh i met Russel Simmons, from Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, not the black Russle Simmons... the white one that was also in Butter .08.
