OK hows about who has famous folks/stories amongst you

[Trailrider]

I've got quite a few interesting stories. Mainly on my wife's side. Her first cousin is the actor Jack McBrayer. He's mostly famous for the show 30 Rock that aired several years ago. He's been in Talladega Nights, several animated film voices, etc. We've been out to New York to SNL with him and met most of their cast about 10 years ago, and to his place in L.A. and met John Hamm of Mad Men fame while we were at his house. Also met Paul Rudd, Sarah Silverman, and Tina Fey while we were visiting him once. I know, mostly weird Hollywood liberals but that's my claim to fame.

Also on my wife's side, her other first cousin is married to a member of the Drive By Truckers band. We've gotten to meet all of them and been to many of their concerts VIP. We see both of them regularly and they act like normal people with us.

I came from poor Scottish peasant stock and am continuing the tradition. Nothing to see here. Move along.

I met Ray Sanchez from Thunder Beast Arms, in Columbus Ga. nice guy!
He may not be famous but I would rather meet someone who makes Awesome suppressors than someone that makes movies!!

Actually I was in a hunting club near Metter and Michael Moorer came up from Florida and hunted with us, one of the guys in the club was good friends with him.

I have the honor of being the eldest son of a Brave Corps of Engineers First Sgt. whose unit built the first bridge over the Inchon River during the Korean Conflict. Hard-nosed, ruff and tumble, Winston smoking, lean an mean. My hero, my superman, the man I strive to be like, my Father, Quay D. Gaiser. See you on the other side dad. I miss you everyday. Sorry, maybe this wasn't the right place to post this, but to me it just seemed right.

It is the perfect place.

James Worthy
Emmitt Thomas - former Falcons defensive back coach and in the Hall of Fame.
Phil Niekro

Used to live in C Jones neighborhood in the early 90’s, you hit the nail on the head he’s a huge pos. Especially when he was your hero and then you met him in person for the first time definitely let down to say the least

I bet he’s got some cool stories. I met Goldberg before 9/11 at the airport, he was really cool. We talked about hot rod Mustangs for about 5-10 minutes before he got on his flight. Ran into Michael P.S. Hayes at Home Depot in Fayetteville, he was cool too. I thought for a minute he was gonna do the “Freebird Strut” or the moonwalk. Lol! Met Dusty Rhodes at the Marietta gun show in the 90’s, he was polite but didn’t have much to say.

I met Eric Metaxas in Macon at a Covenant Care adoption banquet. I had just finished his book "Bonhoeffer". He signed all my books that night and I got a pic with him. Super cool dude.

 

[Vincent Vega]

I told a "Yo Mama" joke to OJ in Vegas and made him laugh. I think we were both a little drunk because I proceeded to lose a bunch of money and he went to a bar and did something that got him kicked out lol.
