Now I’ve had Gary Sandy of “WKRP in Cincinnati”, and Isaiah Washington of the as customers, but tonight I almost whacked into Scott Hamilton with a big bag of cinnamon rolls. I did the night deposit drop and as I turned around decided at the last minute to go down a different set of escalators. I spun around, and my bag nearly smacked into him. And I had a question I’ve always wanted to ask him…but I’m too polite to bother people when they’re just trying to get back to their hotel. Oh well…it was mundane and pointless anyhow!
Damn it I need closure!!
what was it you wanted to ask him?
frick… now I am going to wondering that all night.
Oh, it’s soooooo pointless. I am considering whether to drive you crazy all night, or bore you to tears now. ::think, think, think::
Okay, prepare to sob.
About 28 years ago I met Scott Hamilton at the Kent State University Ice Arena where he was doing a skating demonstration during Lil’ Sis Weekend. My sister’s skating instructor was sitting with us and flirting with Scott while he was skating. She told us to remember his name because he’d be famous. My sister does not remember this incident, so I want to ask Scott if he remembers being at Kent then, and what was his friend (the skating instructor’s) name…I took classes from her the next year when I went to Kent.
See? Not worth a sleepless night!
Scott Hamilton… that’s the guy that played Luke Skywalker, right?
Naaaahhhhh… that’s MARK Hamilton!
I thought it was Alexander Hamilton.
Scott Hamilton is who, exactly? Is he related to Drew Carey somehow?
No, Purd, Alexander Hamilton shot Raymond Burr. That’s why he was in the wheelchair after he did Perry Mason.
Scott Hamilton, Gregarious and short skater that had some form of cancer. I believe testicular cancer. He retired this last year or so. Put a lot of skating shows together.
Seems like a nice guy.
Not to drop skating names or anything I went to high school with Caren Kadavy and Jill Trenery. If I had a scanner I would prove it to you. 
Um, who’s Caren Kadavy and Jill Trenery?
My mom knocked down John Denver once coming out of a drugstore.
Oh yeah, I saw Bob Denver at the mall in Bluefield, WV a few years ago. I guess he lives in the area.
I was having dinner a gay guy who has a huge crush on a major (straight) celebrity, and walked into a men’s room when said person was using it. He didn’t do anything, but I still tease him about it.
Ah, so Scott Hamilton was the guy that won the Tour de France. That explains it. What was he doing at an ice arena?
No, Scott Hamilton is an ice skater - you’re thinking of Lance Armstrong - I think that’s the biker guy. He’s a cancer survivor too.
Cricket
No, Lance Armstrong is the famous musician. I think he sang “Hello, Dolly”. I also can’t understand what he would be doing at an ice arena.
(Yeah, I know. I was just continuing the “poster without a clue” spririt of previous posts.)
And Raymond Burr gained imoratality with the famous wine slogan, “We will sell no wine before its time.”
I spotted Dan Fogleberg in the grocery store and purposely crashed my cart into his so I could apologize and recognize him at the same time. I know, I’m a dork.
Gosh! He sings, he skates, and he was the first man on the moon! What a guy!
I had a Lance Armstrong toy when I was a kid. My brother and I stretched him till his arm tore and the jelly came out though
