I got an autograph from pro wrestler Ric Flair. Woooooooo!!!!!!!!! I met a few other wrestlers too.

I also shook hands with American Idol winner Phillip Phillips  He used to live close to where I'm from.

Last week at my gym TNA wrestling was in town and this huge guy was working out. I talked to him and turns out he was big in India and just got signed to TNA wrestling. So if he ever gets popular I can say I met him.

In Kindergarten or 1st grade these people came to our school doing auditions for what I believe (This is a very hazy memory) was a commercial for tater tots. I remember being interviewed which is interesting because I had no desire to be in the commercial at all. I was pretty shy and that was that. Then sometime later I saw a commercial for tater tots and I swear I recognized the kid from school.

Oh, and I met the boxer Butterbean at a restaurant in Panama City.

Not a claim to fame, but an amusing story...

In the early 90's, following the Reds success at the World Series and the hype over the Reds pitching trio of Rob Dibble, Randy Meyers, and Norm Charlton (The Nasty Boys), a friend and I attended one of the games.

We were at the stadium early, and saw a few players out practicing on the field. One of them was Norm Charlton. So my friend and I went down to the field level seats, right next to the dugout (along with some other fans) and waited for them to proceed back into the dugout so we could ask for autographs.

Norm Charlton came up to our little group of fans, all of us clamoring for his autograph. My booklet and my friends booklet were right in his face, but he reached past all of us and grabbed the bag of a woman behind us. As it went past, I saw autographs from Pete Rose, Eric Davis, and more all over it.

Norm signed the bag, handed it back, and left. Needless to say, my friend and I were no longer Norm Charlton fans after that. We often joked about that day. Whenever we would be somewhere and felt like we weren't be well served, we would ponder whether or not floating a bag full of famous autographs around would get us instant service.

At Wal-Mart.

I've have a few run ins mostly with famous internet producers and voice actors. But I've met Jason David Frank of MMPR fame and even Chuck Norris, Scott Mcneil (Voiced Piccolo in dbz), Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic), TGOmega (Popular Toy reviewer), Scotty 2 hotty (Wrestler), The lead singer of Trapt, Autographs from an upcoming band The Last Place You Look.

As you all know, I've interviewed a lot of celebrities for both RetroJunk and Pop Geeks, and I'm friends with quite a few of them on Facebook as well. As for personal claims to fame, I had a poem published in a poetry anthology either shortly before or after I turned 18 (I forget which). I've also managed to collect quite a few autographs as well. It would take a long time to list all of them, but I will say that most of them are personalized. The few that aren't include a few purchased on eBay and the Tilda Swinton autograph I purchased at Disney's Hollywood Studios earlier this year.
