Do you have a lame claim to fame?

[Durden]

To explain, just listen to a little bit of Weird Al's weird but very catchy song



I've had a few over the years, but the most recent one was that I totally made eye contact with George Lucas in Disney World as he was leaving the 50's Cafe in Hollywood Studios. No idea why he was there, maybe he just comes to check on his baby from time to time, but it was 100% him. I was about half a foot away from him, we were in the foyer of the cafe. I didn't say anything to him because I didn't wanna be that guy and just let him leave. I did ask the waitress though if it was him, and she said she knew he was there earlier.

EDIT : Oh! Also me and my friend are visible extras in The Blind Side. We're right behind Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw in the bleachers at one point. I've never actually seen the movie, only that part. Lawl.

Anybody step on the burrito that Justin Bieber fucked up eating or anything?

I found some weird glitch that let me play Jason early on MKX. Streamed it, claimed I was Ed Boon and got some followers.

The OG Mexican voice of Homer Simpson, Beto Velez, called me a "Damn fag"* after i told him "i wanted to have his babies" for re-enacting the Underminer speech (which i fed him line by line) on a convention in my home town.

* = Note that this wasn't him being bigoted, it's actually a quote from the LatAm dub of the simpsons and was entirely done in a playful manner, you can argue that the script was wrong to include the line in the first place, but he was just doing what VAs do and quoting lines from his most famous character.

 

[Chivalry]

I was the first to 100% RDR1's singleplayer (pre-release copy) and the first to get 1000/1000 in The Sims 3 on 360. Not much fame here.

Tila Tequila used to message a catfish on MySpace who used my photos. When I caught them I messaged her to let her know and she told me to go to LA and be her boy toy.

In hindsight I'm glad I never took her up on that.

This is similar to Shaun Keavney's 6Music feature 'Small Claims Court'; wherein folk text in with mediocre celebrity sightings.

I have a handful of cool meets.

I had dinner with Miss America (Debbye Turner). I also met Margaret Thatcher in a quick introduction sort of way.

Sports wise, I met Mickey Mantle when I was a kid and run into Ozzie Smith frequently (and he's super nice). Some other good sports meets too.. Brett Hull, Al MacInnis.. most of the current Blues team, and a number of past players if you like that sort of thing.

Football wise, quick Kurt Warner meet.. spend most of a day with Derrick Thomas and Neil Smith working a sports card show to help a buddy that owned a shop. Hung out with James Lofton at an airport while we were both on standby. He gave me restaurant and activity ideas b/c I was flying to LA and he was familiar.

I've had a few full on twitter conversations with some celebs. Zelda Williams, Felicia Day. John Scalzi, if that counts for people. It helps to follow people who don't act inaccessible.
