Unexpected encounters with celebrities

[rdawson808]

Growing up in Olympia, Wa. I've run into tons of...oh wait, no I haven't. I have never run into a celebrity of any sort. Ever.

But all my friends seem to have. Roommates in college with John Singleton, dinner party with Benazir Bhutto. Etc etc.

Not me but a buddy ran into Hank WIlliams Jr. in a bar in Indianapolis. My friend was in the bathroom taking a piss, when Hank sidled up the urinal next to him and said:

"Hey buddy, you know any women in this bar that would suck on this dick?"

I find this story crude, hilarous and disturbing all at once.

My respect for Hank Williams Jr. just increased tenfold.

Well, I know and have met quite a lot of celebrities and royalty, but I suppose that doesn't count as an unexpected encounter. Still, I have a few good ones. - When I was a little kid I was at a party and Karl Lagerfeld was there. I apparently screamed and cried upon seeing him, and I can understand why. - When I was 12 I was walking down a street in Johannesburg with my father and a friend of his, when we saw a crowd. We approached it, and in the centre was Nelson Mandela. We shook hands (naturally, the South African way) and exchanged a couple of words. This is unquestionably my favourite, although I'm not sure if he's a celebrity. - A couple of weeks ago Pierre Casiraghi punched me in the face, leaving a black eye for a whole week. To be fair, I already knew him, but it was funny regardless.

Should we call you SoCal2Milan?

You'd prefer if I lied about my background? It was perfectly on topic, and not intended to come across as bragging: if it had, I would have begun listing names. I made it clear that meeting someone famous (eg. at a party) doesn't really count as an "unexpected encounter". However, I remember you were also quite uneccesarily rude to me in another thread, so perhaps that's just your demeanour rather than a flaw in my actions. Aside from that, I don't really mind being compared to SoCal.

Nor do I mind being compared to Bisc.

Who's that? Someone from reality tv?

It was my understanding from watching the TV magazine Entertainment Tonight that encounters with celebrities are not unexpected in America but a matter of personal liberty.

Maybe Hank was actually hitting on him....
