Have you ever known someone famous... before they were famous?

My dad knew Wilford through a mutual friend. Said old Wilford was the biggest *** he ever met.

This girl I know was telling me she saw him driving at the intersection of 106th and State. Apparently she looked over (not having anything to do with him) and he saw her looking over and he flipped her off.

One of my friends that I've known my whole life was on deal or no deal a couple years ago. Not really famous but most of America saw him for an hour.

I didn't know him, but I sat next to Josh Powell while eating lunch at the mall. This was weeks after his murder allegations before he moved to Washington. It may not have been him, but I never seen such a depressed man in my life. It looked like he was going to choke and die from eating a sandwich. That is particularly the only reason why I noticed him. The negative energy from the guy was overwhelming, I tried my best not to look at him. Knowing what he did to his children years later makes me feel very sick to my stomach and the fact I feel like I saw the man in real life is strange. Besides him, the only "famous" people I saw Big Buddha from channel 13 and Wiz Khalifa. I know a few friends that are chasing their dreams in singing, hopefully they remember me when they famous.

My wife is related to Gary Allan, the country singer. Her dad is his first cousin. She used to go out to Cali and babysit his kids over the summer.

I have a friend who is Bret Michael's personal assistant and has some pretty nice pictures from inside the Playboy Mansion.

So can you confirm the rumors that the world is dying to know if he really indeed is a Mormon?

I've known Doug Reinhardt for about 20 years. He's like a Q-lister, but I guess he still counts.

All you people are related to each other.

I grew up with Hope Solo. We used to kiss behind my shed.

Was Han as cool in person as he was in his movies?

You guys know a lot of famous people I've never heard of.

 

[TroutBum]

You all know me, and I am a soon-to-be political juggernaut.

I'd vote for you. I'd vote for you so hard.

 

[TroutBum]

I'd vote for you. I'd vote for you so hard.

But would you cut off my skin and wear it as a muscle suit? (you'd need to bulk up quite a bit first)

I think I slept with that guy's wife!!

He's Mormon, kind of. He spent a long part of his life inactive. He was just starting to get active again when his wife killed herself. That really sent him for a loop. The last I heard, he's kind of messed up now, understandably.

You're the guy? I will never be able to understand this inside jokes on this board.
