Oh!
I did meet Bill Murray at a Chicago Cubs game.
I was about 10, he was a few rows in front of me; he got up to go get food (I assume) and I said aloud, "Wow, is that Bill Murray?!" He assured me he was, shook my hand, and thanked me for saying I loved Ghostbusters.
I don't know if it was really him, but from some of the stories I've heard since then, I'm 99% sure it was.

My great grandma used to hang out with Jimmy Ellis. I knew him for a couple years. I have an autographed picture of him on my wall.

I once sold a movie ticket to the first Hostel movie to Tech N9ne. And I also saw him in the lobby a year later. Never mind the fact that we both live in Kansas City.

Once upon a time I was a manager at McDonalds, and the Republicans had some sort of convention in my town. We were understaffed and getting slammed. These two guys asked me if I could hurry up since Karl Malone was in the car waiting. I told them I was sorry, but I'm a Bulls fan.
That was the year that the Bulls beat the Jazz in the finals.

I met the dude who stars in Navy NCIS before. No, it really was him. He was a bit of a jerk. Which guy? Mark Harmon, the guy who plays Gibbs.

Mark Harmon, the guy who plays Gibbs. He's allowed to be that way. Here's why

I wrestled John Cena in UPW in 01. I had on jean shorts, a jersey, tennis shoes, a bowl haircut, and wigger gimmick. He had a surfer gimmick and was in bright yellow pants with bleach blonde spiked hair, basically he was late 80's Sting. I've said for years the guy stole his entire gimmick from me and that's why he makes me sick everytime he walks out to the ring. Chaos, I'd be tempted to believe you, but I can't. Why? When Cena first started wrestling in 2000, he was The Prototype: a half-man, half-machine gimmick. He kept the gimmick until he debuted in the WWE in 2003. I blame TLC for giving me that insight.

I once made a ham sandwich for Momma Cass. How'd she enjoy it? While a student at Syracuse University (I was a freshman in 2003-the year they won the NCAA Championship), I saw Carmelo Anthony a few times around campus. But by the time the basketball season was started, I didn't see him at all. Also, a lot of the basketball players were on the bus all of the time, and I said hi to Jim Boeheim a few times.

My friend gets these photo passes for gigs she goes to and she's met Bowling For Soup and various other bands.
My friend Bianca got her photo taken with the leader singer of Papa Roach last week.
My friend's boyfriend's cousin once went to pick up the same pint of milk in Tescos as Bill Bailey.

I met Jerry Lawler at a Foot Locker at the State College mall before a Raw. He was looking at a pair of Lugz, no joke. He's definitely the coolest celeb I've met. He brushed off the employee who came over lookin to get my friends and I away (not that I blame the employee), and happily signed autographs and chatted with us briefly in the store. Then my on friend, who didn't have paper, got som from Hat World and ran out and got his autograph in the middle of the mall. Moments later, he was surrounded by at least two dozen fans, but he was still smiling.
During that same Raw, a girl I went to school with was working at KFC. Viscera drove through, picked up a bucket of chicken, sweet talked her and tipped her. She had no idea who she was, in fact, she wasn't even working the drive thru that night. The girl who was saw one look at him and ran off, handing her the headset.
I met Gordon from Sesame Street when I was really young and shook his hand at the local kid's fair they hold each year.
I called some random number one night telemarketing to try to push a credit card on some lady. The answering machine picked up and it was Jim Cornette. I've been half bummed and half relieved he wasn't home as I'm sure he'd have cut a promo on me.
My friend is into music promotion/management in NYC and occassionally LA. He's met The Ramones, played Rock Band with some of the Blue Oyster Cult, Billy Bob Thorton, etc. He showed me Tommy Hilfiger's son's old mac and introduced me one day to the dude who sang Billy & Chuck's theme song (this was before I knew he performed it, the guy actually forgot he recorded it until the friend saw it on wikipedia. Apparently everything took place in like a week and he spent like 2 or 3 hours recording one day, and got paid a few grand).

I met Chester Bennington way before he was with Linkin Park & got him to sign a cd for the band he was fronting at the time called Grey Daze.
Didn't realize until like 3 years after Linkin Park got popular that I had met him & got said signed cd by him.

I once sat in a hotel hot tub with Tony Garea and Jesse Ventura. Later that same day I opened a door for Paul Orndorf as he entered the hotel restaurant.

Ive gotten drunk with 2/3rds of the entire ROH roster multiple times in Chicago at a certain little pizza place we all love to visit after the shows...Last time Danielson and Nigel did karaoke with Nigel singing "Do your balls hang low" and Ruckus and the Briscoes and I proceeded to get tanked at the bar discussing wrestling in Japan and the NFL...Mark even picked up my tab for the night...My connection with ROH goes back to the first Chicago event I attended there where I was asked to come in and help set up and usher for the night...I met everyone including Joe and got a t-shirt and second row tickets for free (had general originally)...I still contact Cary to this day in regards to the Chicago shows...
