Name Dropping
 

MrsV flew to Los Angeles yesterday and spent the day in the company of Jamie Lee Curtis.

Played tennis together, had lunch, talked about kids, etc. Permit me to quote from her email.
Where are the : proud : and :jealous: smilies?

What does mrsv do to enjoy such a privilege?

bah. i'm one step from kevin bacon. jinx went swimming with him as a kid.

AND, my former boss's wife was baby sat by George Thoroughgood.

AND, a former coworker was next door neighbors with Randy White.

I love Jamie Lee Curtis and she just announced the other day that she will no longer be acting.

I would like to ask her what it's like to be married to that Christopher Guest.

ok, i guess that's not even close.

huh?

Ms. Curtis had the nicest rack in pictures, IMHO...

When 17, I worked with "Randy" and "Julian" of Trailer Park Boys fame. I also played soccer against "Ricky" for years.

I went to school with Ollie the goalie, Olaf Kolzig.

I once escorted Courtney Love down the aisle- during a funeral that I was ushering.

I shook the hand of Jean Beliveau during a wake.

I met Shawn Murray and spouse (I think it was shawn, definitely a Murray) who played for the Canadiens in '95. His wife was an absolute knockout.

I held the door for the traitorous bastard Lucien Bouchard.

and last but not least, I met Dexter Yager.

Isn't that what they call "two degrees of separation?" If so, me too...a friend of mine was friends with him in high school.

My greatest brush with greatness: I once walked past a stage where Ed Rendell* was addressing a crowd for German-American Pride Day or something like that. Pretty lame, eh?

*At the time Mayor of Philadelphia, now Governor of Pennsylvania.

I've been onstage with Mr. President. Unfortunately, the current one.

what?

My grandmother is the Telugu novelist Dwivedula Visalakshi. A character in one of her novels is named after me. :eyebrow:

Lets see now ,
I met Buferd Pusser ( Walking Tall )face to face once ,
I have Archie Mannings autograph ,
I stood in an honor guard for George Bush ( the first , Vice Prez at the time ) ,
I stoped the Commanding general of the Joint Cheifs of staff at a security check point and asked him for ID , funny look on his face as he dug thru his wallet for his ID ( I thought the security Mngr for that post was goint to SHIT !!!)

OUT-FUCKING-STANDING!!!

I'd have loved to seen it: him digging thru the wallet, a fossilized condom dropping to the floor, dry-cleaning bills stuck behind his Discover card, little scraps of paper with unreadable phone numbers, the SecMgr with his eyes bugging out...

OUT-FUCKING-STANDING!!!

OHHHHRAAAAA !!!
