We need to replace Feinstein with a real Dem!

[Beaverhausen]

[Beaverhausen]

[Gonzo Gardener]

28. Me and Orville Redenbacher...

He was the 'Popcorn King'. I met him at the Valparaiso, Indiana Popcorn Festival when I was around twelve years old. BUT, I can't find that damn photo anywhere.


























Left to Right: The big Green Meanie, my son, & MM.

[Guava Jelly]

38. MM himself

Wow.
I bet that was pretty cool

[Gonzo Gardener]

44. Every single time...

I'm a bit of a gypsy...living in N-W Michigan during the warm months. We bump into each other a few times each season and I've worked the Traverse City Film Festival three years running.

[Lorien]

70. Eeewww! He hit on me once

I used to work at a film studio and we had regular celebrity visitors. He came by one afternoon, chatted with me for a while, then came back and left me his hotel room key along with a few comments I won't repeat here. :puke:

[Bucky]

95. Whoa. You had a chance to nail Orville Reddenbacher and you passed it up?

Are you insane?!?! I mean, sure he's old and yucky... but he's a celebrity for gosh sake! And how bad could it be? I'm sure he finished popping in under five minutes.

[Lorien]

102. Lol! Yeah, maybe I could have given birth to the heir of his popcorn

fortune, a la Anna Nicole Smith. I could have been set for life!

Nah, even millions wouldn't have made it worth it. :puke: :puke:


My assistant had Gilbert Gottfried coming on to her in such a vile way that I nearly had to take him aside and have a few "words" with him, though she did a pretty good job of taking care of the situation herself in the end. Hmmm...Orville or Gilbert-which is more vile?

[BurtWorm]

29. Me and Adam

[Dr. Strange]

91. Oh my God! n/p

n/p means "no prayer."

[Bucky]

96. Who's that topless chick you got your arm around?

[BurtWorm]

99. You must be a sinner.

That's the only way you could be aware that she's topless.

She used to sing back-up for Madonna.

[Poiuyt]

31. Me and Red Skelton

What a cool guy!

[Guava Jelly]

39. I'd say he was famous alright

:D

[wain]

105. What a great picture, one to treasure

They don't make them like Red Skelton anymore. An amazing talent.

[dpbrown]

109. I always thought Red was great!

I remember watching him on TV in the early days. He was so funny and yet so kind.

[Ava]

35. me with a few

Carol Moseley Braun -


Willie Nelson -


Cindy Sheehan -


Barack Obama -


all are better photos of the people i'm posing with than me, lol.

[Guava Jelly]

41. I am jealous

You even met Willie!!!! :woohoo:
Those are nice pictures of you Ava

[Dystopian]

47. wow Ava!

Lots of fantastic people...
just kind of funny because you are famous....
How can a famous person get in on this thread?;)

peace~

[Poiuyt]

52. You Hollywood types get to meet all the famous people!

[ThoughtCriminal]

37. Me and some of my pals

[Guava Jelly]

42. You met everyone

I myself would have a hell of a time remembering everyones names

[Aristus]

40. Here's me with world-famous writer, curmudgeon and social commentator Harlan Ellison:

[Guava Jelly]

43. He wrote for Star Trek and Babylon 5

Two of my favorite Nerd shows. :woohoo:

[darkstar]

46. Nice. Is he shuffling cards there? (He's a poker guy, right? )

I met him once too. My friend's Mom new him professionally. In fact, remember the story "Jeffty is Five"? It was inspired, name wise at least, by my friend Jeff's "toddler" name.

:hi:

[darkstar]

48. delete

delete

[Aristus]

56. No. He's autographing books.

He only uses a fountain pen, and blots the signature very carefully with a paper towel before closing the cover.

[Fire Walk With Me]

62. No joke? Sweet. That's one of my faves of his. Nice pic Aristus!

[6000eliot]

60. Is he sitting on your knee?

[NewWaveChick1981]

98. I've met Harlan Ellison a couple of times.

:) He's good friends with a good friend's father, and he's definitely a curmudgeon. :P I love his work, though.

[Lorien]

103. Me too. We share a mutual close friend

I think that "curmudgeon" is putting it nicely.

[Aristus]

108. Hey, that's cool! So you have Three Degrees Of Harlan Ellison...

B-)


What is your favorite story of his? I don't have a clear winner, but "I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream" has got to be a high-water mark in the area of speculative fiction. I also like his deceptively peaceful titles like "Along The Scenic Route", and "A Boy And His Dog".

:hi: NWC! :loveya:

[Dystopian]

45. : )

edit to note that I cropped it....we had our arms around each other..I grabbed him!
And he looks happy!

peace~

[graywarrior]

49. Me and V

I was about 15 lbs heavier than now.


Took this shot of Stephen at the same antiwar march just before we hung out for 1/2 hour.

[Poiuyt]

51. My cousin went to college with Stephen King

Actually, King had just graduated, but was in grad school. They had the same faculty advisor. One day my cousin was in his advisor's office when King went walking by. The professor yelled out, "Steve, Steve, come in here. I want you to meet a new member of our group."

So there you have it: He used to be known as Steve King.

[graywarrior]

54. How cute.

I wonder what his wife calls him. He calls her Tabby and talked about her the entire time we wlaked together.

[darkstar]

50. Can you take my word for it?

Well, at a local music fest, I was on this side acoustic stage doing a solo w/ guitar. This kind of cool gal is hanging around in her van, telling me about her travels out west, etc. She was going to do a solo as well. We started kicking around a song to duet on and we worked up "Love Hurts" a la Gram and Emmy Lou. And there is a pic of that--singing close into same mic--some where in these boxes in my apt.

She went on to be famous as Jewel inside of a couple of years. Me, I teach part time at a community college. Bet she's sorry now.

[OzarkDem]

53. Me & Sherrod

I'm the blonde on the left. Lobbying w/ our group on the hill.

[DarkTirade]

55. Had I a scanner

I would post the pic of me performing with Shania Twain. She has one song that she gets kids form a local school to perform with, and when she came to Orlando back in what, '99 or so, they picked our school.

You can juuuust barely see my face behind her arm in that picture. And you can't see the face of the guy next to me because her butt was in the way.

I'm sure he was looking straight at the camera though.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

59. Mark O'Connor

and me.

[Phillycat]

64. Nice! Now THAT impresses me!

The man is a fiddle GOD.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

87. He's a fine player, and nice as hell.

He has a gorgeous instrument...a Vuillaume! And his sound reminds me a lot of Grappelli, who was one of his teachers. :-)

[JCMach1]

61. Al, my daughter and Me in 2002...

[MrScorpio]

63. Roy Ayers and I

[DarkTirade]

65. Of all the people you know, you could only find one pic of yourself with one? :)

[MrScorpio]

85. I met these people before the advent of digital cameras

You know, the core of my Six Degrees celebs.

I've also met DC Councilman Marion "The Bitch Set Me Up" Berry, David "Media Matters" Brock, Jazz artists Bobbi Humphrey, James Moody, Lonnie Liston Smith, Lenny White, Miles Davis' nephew,(Forgot his name), Ronnie Laws and Dr. Donald Byrd, Reggae master Sugar Minott, and author Stephen Coonts (Twice).

Add that to the fact that I have a famous relative and worked for 7 and 1/2 years in the Pentagon I make one perfect storm of celeb networking.

[DarkTirade]

88. Ah, yes. I finally broke down and bought me one of those before I moved.

Figured since I was moving to a place that actually had nice scenery, not flat ugly landscapes covered with ugly urban sprawl, I should probably get one. :)

[MrScorpio]

90. I posted this a couple of years ago

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2384824

[DarkTirade]

104. Mmm... George Takei...

I'm sorry, my mind went somewhere else for a moment.

[MissMillie]

66. here's me w/ my sister

and oh yeah, 4 of the 5 members of the band, Yes.

[SoxFan]

67. You've probably heard of this guy

[LynneSin]

68. I have a picture of me with Governor Ed Rendell, although this was before he was Gov

and another DUer still has the picture of me with Tammy Duckworth.

[Orsino]

69. Me and Stephen Colbert, 1983.

College production of A. A. Milne's "The Ugly Duckling."

[Beaverhausen]

71. Get out!!! That is so cool!

tell us all about working with him!

[Orsino]

73. He was the one we knew would turn professional...

...but it was still a surprise for me when I returned stateside in '95 and spotted him in Exit 57. I first met him 'cause my father was his freshman adviser, and a childhood friend of mine roomed with him.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

72. I don't have it scanned to my computer, but I've got a picture on my desk with me and Janet Reno

We dated for a few months, actually. :sarcasm:

Seriously though, I do. Pretty cool lady. Very, very, very tall. We talked about Florida's natural springs for a while.

[Cabcere]

74. I don't have any pictures of me with them, but my family knew these guys:

(Not my picture, though - just found it on the internet.) :hi:

[RubyDuby in GA]

76. I love the Statler Brothers

:hi:

[Cabcere]

84. Me too!

:D They're such nice guys (not to mention very talented!). I used to live in Staunton when I was a kid, and every year they used to come back and put on a free 4th of July concert for us...it was awesome! :hi:

[RubyDuby in GA]

75. Me and the Prez and Mrs. or Me and the Good Doctor or Who I Hope is the next Prez

[azmouse]

77. I had my pic taken with James Lovell (Apollo 13)

[av8rdave]

78. With Pat Green

I'm not a country fan (notice the T-shirt), but daughter won backstage passes. Really nice guy.

[MrCoffee]

79. that is the AWESOME! Pat Green kicks ass

[av8rdave]

81. LIke I said...I'm not a country person, but...

He did a great show - very entertaining. He was also really nice backstage. He spent a lot of time talking with my daughter (vs. a quick photo op).

I was impressed.

[MrCoffee]

83. i've seen him live a couple of times...always a fun, fun show

[NewWaveChick1981]

80. Me and Richard Hatch from Battlestar Galactica.

:hi: I was 20 years old in that pic...taken in 1983. :P

[Taverner]

86. Yer such a fangirl

:D

[NewWaveChick1981]

97. I know. And I even had big 80s hair too...

:P :rofl: :hi:

[Sock Puppet]

82. I was there that day.

Notice the shock on my face?
That guy was a total moran.
