I recently took a leak next to Dan Marino…can anyone beat that? (and no ladies…I didn’t peak so don’t ask)
Michael Stipe. REM showed up to jam with a band called the Soul Capitalists at the Antenna Club in Memphis after their show at Mud Island…I think it was 1986 or 1987…Nothing interesting to report, except that all of the guys in REM were nice and down to earth.
Im taking the question literally so that would be Dolph Lundgren in Bowery Bar in NYC.
Ray Darcy - though nobody outside Ireland will have heard of him. Even in Ireland he’s about E-list.
The Gov. of Virginia.
His State Police Secret Service Detail stood right behind us, too.
Talk about performance anxiety!
I’d prefer not to beat that, so…
Robert Duval, Peabody Hotel (I swear), Memphis.
Mojo Nixon, Club Fred, Fresno, California.
Mel Brooks. If I’d known it was him at the time, I’d have quizzed him on if he knew the punchline to the joke that was written over my urinal (“may I adjust your stool for you?”)
George Takei. At Wizard World a few years ago.
Tommy Thompson, at the time Governor of Wisconsin. That beats plnnr’s governor in that my guy was elevated to the cabinet - Secretary of, umm, <mumble mumble>. He washed his hands, by the way. I probably didn’t.
Side to Tars : “Wizard World” ??
Tony Gonzalez (tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs NFL team, and former Cal basketball standout). Smaller than I would have expected.
[sub]HE was smaller! I mean shorter! I mean . . . geeze, you people![/sub]
Gary Busey, Red Rock, Santa Monica, CA
Although at first I thought it was Nick Nolte.
The Chicago Comicon got renamed that after Wizard took over. this past year was the first one i missed in five years (sort of hard to get there now that i live halfway across the country.
THAT’S why he was made Sect. of HEALTH and Human Services!
If that’s the rationale then it’s vastly preferable to Sect. of the Interior.
I pissed next to Dr. Dre at a seafood restaurant in Houston.
Sigh…I can’t believe it’s taken me three attempts just to brag about pissing next to the late Gunther Gebel-Williams when I was a kid…you know, the circus animal trainer who specialized in tigers and lions, and occasionally horses.
None other than Terry Prachett, right before one of his book tour stops at the University of Washington. I couldn’t find the restroom on the actual lower floor so I ended up on the upper level where, apparently, he had been hanging around with some UW muckety-mucks having a few beers.
My dad pissed next to then Alabama defensive end Eric Curry a few days before they beat Miami for the 92 national championship. And every time we go to New Orleans we pass by that bathroom and he mentions it. Coming up on the 10th anniversary of this momentous occasion. I’m sure he’ll have something special planned.
Jose Canseco at the Cabaret Royale (strip club) in Dallas in '93. This was just after he let a fly ball bounce off his head and over the fence for a home run, and I was going to bring that up, but I chickened out. Probably had something to do with the fact that he looked like he could pull me in half with his bare hands.
