I was then forced to take this picture with Bush.

I can't watch it on tv, the circles just bore me. But if I'm flipping stations on the radio and come across it, I get sucked in. The broadcast makes it sound really exciting.
NASCAR prefigured Days of Thunder, thus must be of some cultural value.

It was 25 years ago. He was charming, funny (in the right ways), and clever. I remember most vividly how intelligent he seemed, and that he took our questions very seriously. As a high school senior, that was increidbly important to me.

He was a pompous ass when I met him. That was, again, 25 years ago, and he was just kind of hitting his stride as a public figure, but the memory that I have of him was that he was incredibly rude. He was particularly awful to the worker bees, though he'd turn on the charm the second one of the other candidates came around him.
I met and spoke with Biden on multiple occasions, also sat next to him at a football game. I dated a girl in Delaware for 2 years whose dad was Biden's architect. He was a nice enough guy on the surface at first, but his act sort of wore thin. As far as Delaware politicians go, I much prefer (now Senator) Carper. He's tacked a little to the left since he entered the Senate, but he always came across as a pretty genuine guy.
I guess on the GOP side, the highest ranking politician I've met was John Kasich-- when he was a congressman in the early 90s.
Never cared much for meeting politicians, though. Meeting sports legends like Paul Brown & Art Donovan meant more to me than possibly meeting any president in my lifetime, save for Reagan.

Duh. That's on par with me taking a leak next to Joe Theismann.
In the 90s we took a school trip to Hamburg to visit a Pompei exhibition. We ran into former chancellor Helmut Schmidt there. Surprisingly, he didn't smoke there. (He has the reputation of smoking anytime, anywhere, whether it's a smoking area or not.) He was gracious enough to sign a few autographs.

Light conversation is permitted.
It was just one of those bizarre moments. It was a Sunday night game, I believe in 1998. I was standing there at the urinal in the press box men's room at the new Ravens stadium, unloading my two diet cokes from the pre-game meal. Kind of zoned out, thinking about how shitty it was going to be to have to go to work the next day. Door swings open and I hear three familiar voices-- sounded a lot like Theismann, Paul Maguire, and Mike Patrick. It was them-- making jokes about how long it will take each of them to piss given their age and size of their respective prostates.
Theismann pulls up next to me, notices I'm wearing a Bengals shirt and I guess figures me for a coach. Asks if we're "ready". So I, in my classic failure to ever say anything witty in a situation like this, say, "uh, ready as we'll ever be, Joe!"
Then Theismann proceeds to turn his head to the side and yell at the dude taking a crap in the bathroom for not giving us a courtesy flush.
Good times :)

No, I was a sports journalist then, covering the Arena Football League. He'd just bought a team in Colorado. We were in a hotel the night before the Championship game in Grand Rapids, MI, hanging out in the bar when John and his friend came down to hang out with us. There were five of us (myself, my boss, Perry Moss, Gene Nudo, and Tim Marcum) hanging out when they came down, and we all sat around talking for hours.
Multiple fans stopped to ask for autographs, and one kid told the story of how, when his brother was killed in a car accident, they buried him in a replica Elway jersey because he'd been such a huge fan. John just sat there for a few minutes after the kid walked away, then said, "That's probably the most touching thing anyone's ever said to me."
It was kind of neat. :)

I met a guy who met Nikki Haley Kaur once. She's our Sikh fascist corporatist dominionist governor whose name I had to look up. -_-
Does she wear a turban?
Women don't ordinarily wear dastars, no. Nimrata Nikki Randhawa is "actually" a Methodist, and by "actually" I mean she "converted" when she "got married" and "decided to get involved in SC politics." It's possible that her public faith is a reflection of her sincere private convictions, but hahahaha no.
I'm also pretty sure she shaves her legs, which is an affront to the Punjabi God that made her.

So my meeting John Elway - and spending several hours in a hotel bar talking football with him - means more than the other list? ;)
Duh. That's on par with me taking a leak next to Joe Theismann.
Try an Orioles pitcher in the urinal next to you asking exactly how "tight" you and your girlfriend really are.

Okay, yeah. Well, that crosses the line, obv.
Especially with his ERA.

Was it Ben McDonald?
Hey how come you have not been talking O's much this season in the Baseball thread? The season is starting to collapse and I have nobody to share my pain with.
LOL, no. Ponson. :lol:

I shook Dan Quayle's hand. BEAT THAT.
I got the upside down left hand shake from Bob Dole.
The only American celebrity I ever met was James Duval.

But you're bound to have met Topol. :bowler:*

I touched Dukakis' coat.
Yesterday, my dad was telling me about how when he was a bar tender he served Al Hrabosky and bunch of other Cardinals (and some Cubs) who came in late. The manager kept the place open just for those guys, who proceed to get smashed. He said they drove though a chain in the parking lot on the way out. The next day, the Left Fielder for the Cards made 3 errors. :P
Dukakis is a good dude. He was a professor at Northeastern when I was there working on my PhD. One of my friends in the program had Dukakis as his advisor. Years later, I used to see him fairly often when I worked at BIDMC because he was good friends with the then-CEO of the medical center. Very unassuming guy... in fact, I also saw him a few times at South Station getting on and off Amtrak trains, always by himself. I guess he felt obligated to travel via Amtrak when possible due to his role with the organization, but I still thought it was pretty cool.
You failed that PhD, right?
Has he ever asked to be called Dr. Cal?

I understood that he stopped trying, rather than failed.

Yeah, I withdrew after a year. I was working full time and going to school full time and enjoyed working way more than going to school. No regrets. :)
