Humm, I thought the thread title said “breast interaction”…
I forgot that I checked out (as in at the register) John Tesh and Connie Seleca at a Books/Music/Video store I worked at through college. Mr. Tesh was super nice considering he’s, you know, The Devil.
You guys will not believe who I’ve spoken to. Seriously, you won’t. I’ll tell you but I seriously suggest you sit down first. Everyone. I mean, you can Trent Rezner this and Amy Carter until the cows come home, but your jaws will drop in amazement as I tell you the people I have come in contact with. I want you to understand, before I actually name names, that I don’t want this affecting how you view me. I’m still the same old Ender you know and love. Or hate. Or haven’t heard of until now. But rest assured, after you read on, you’ll have heard of me and you’ll be putting me in an entirely new light.
I almost hesitate to name them now, but I shall.
I have met:
Josh Waitzkin. Yes folks. Searching for Bobby Fischer’s Waitzkin. The genuine article baby. I’m telling you, it doesn’t get much better than this.
But wait…it gets better.
I have had a lengthy conversation with none other than
the one
the only
Tony Dow. Leave it to Friggin’ Beaver, Baby!
Jealous, ain’tcha?
Oh yeah, and I got to hang with David Chan, head photographer of Playboy, as he was shooting pics for his Best of the Midwest spread, but then who hasn’t done that?
For 5 days I worked as an “extra” on E T. One of the interactions with STEVEN SPIELBERG-----
I guess he likes to put his friends in his movies. IE: the Doctor that applies the heart “paddles” to E T is his actual, personal doctor.
Anyway----He had his pal RON COBB (the artist/designer of the “beings” in the “cantina” scene in STAR WARS) also working as an extra. So—during a set-up, a couple of us are sitting talking to Ron and STEVEN comes out and plops down. The conversation quickly got around to E T’s sexuality. How does he reproduce? Lots of shy giggles but I put forth that he was BOTH male AND female, therefore; just BLURPED them out. Something about the male seahourse thing. He was quite amused. No discussion as to which part of his anatomy this blurping took place though. Back to work. Oh well!
BTW----he IS a really neat guy!
I kicked Jean-Claude Van Damme’s ass one time.
I went to high school with William Ragsdale (Fright Night, Herman’s Head). He dated my best friend for awhile and we were in Thespians together. He was friggin’ hysterical on opening nights, which always made everyone just relax and enjoy working on the plays.
David Copperfield told me my daughter (who was 4 at the time) was a gorgeous child and had a lovely name. Of course, she was flirting shamelessly with him while he was signing autographs and she really needed him to explain why he threw a brick off stage and did it really hurt the stage hand that said “Ow!” (It was a foam brick).
When I was still involved with auch things, my church youth group would travel the the state Baptist convention in Little Rock, where we almost always ran into then Gov. Bill Clinton.
I’ve chatted with filk/folk singers Leslie Fish, Meg Davis and Julia Ecklar at science fiction conventions, met the actor that played Miles O’Brian in Star Trek: TNG, as well as John Delancy (Q), Leonard Nimoy, George Taki(sp?) and Patrick Stewart. All very nice people, although DeLancy was more than little arrogant and condescending, but he’s also funny as hell when he wants to be.
The ex and I worked at several radio stations in Tennesse, Missouri, and Oklahoma, and I met lots of country music singers and a few rock groups who were traveling around promoting concerts.
Google searches can be fun. It turns out that a girl, Kate Vanderliet, upon whom I had a mild crush on in high school, is currently the star dancer at the Lido in Paris.
Paula Poundstone once touched me in an inappropriate manner.

Arden Ranger! You must be from El Dorado! A good friend of mine from El Dorado reminded me MANY TIMES that he knew Mr. Fright Night.
The absolute best one was when I told Bruce Campbell that he was my hero, and he said, “You’re my hero, man.”
A close second was when I got to squeeze Niki Knockers’… well, knockers, but you’re not getting a link for that one! 
Pete
Take off every .sig for great justice!!
I had lunch with Cesar Chavez.
I met Bon Jovi at an autograph signing in Springfield, MO in 1985 that was held in the tiny record store across the street from SMSU. They were the opening act for RATT that night. I didn’t go to the show.
Tico Torres was an extremely nice guy and actually chatted with us while we were waiting to move on down the line for autographs from the rest of the band. I can’t remember what he said or what we said, but everytime I see him on VH1 or something, I tell my kids, “That man right there is a very nice guy. They were all nice when we met them but he’s very nice.”
:o
It’s a small world afterall…
El Dorado High Wildcats. Class of 1980.
Bill was a year ahead of me. Wanna see his yearbook pictures? 
Who’s your friend?
