Tell us your Mippo Tales

There was this post on the old forums, on a similar thread, that mentioned mippo living with some celebrities while raiding, involving high fives with danny de vito and getting someone pregnant. Anyone remember that and can give a better summary of it?

Mippo's guild leader on Vallon Zek before he got into Afterlife was some child actor who starred in Mighty Ducks. Your story sounds more interesting though.

Years back Oliver Stone walked into a shitty chicken wing joint I was in at the time. He orders a sizable amount of wings and devoured them, sucking the meat off the bones like a frat boy, and then bounced.

Walking about in NYC and spotted the crew for an episode of Law and Order. Orbach was wearing so much makeup, it was off-putting and I didn't even go up to speak to him.

The guy who did the motion capture for Kano in the original Mortal Kombat game spotted for me a couple times.

I'm thinking to myself, man I could probably kick this guy's ass. I think by extension that means I kicked Hulk Hogan's ass too.

Thinking you could beat someone up is EXACTLY the same as beating up someone he fake fought.


Nailed it

I played golf with Coolio and some of his boyz by chance at some shitty course in Marina Del Ray one time. Super nice guy. Really terrible golfer.

I also helped install Zakk Wylde's home theater system. I finally worked up the courage over a week to talk some guitar shop with him. We wound up going into his garage where he picked up one of the probably 30 guitars he had laying around and proceeded to melt my brain with his guitar skills. He is a real life viking. Also a really, really nice guy. Also his mom who was living in his house looked eerily like my dead grandma. Super weird.

My wife went to high school with Yao Ming.

I thought we were going for Mippo logic.

Good point. I withdraw my criticism and offer my humble apologies.

Anakin from Episode one went to my rival high school. I saw him at a dance once. He had a huge head. He was kicked out of his school for starting a Fight Club.

When I was younger I used to run a nightclub and the other manager at the time was cousins with Sean William Scott. We hosted a daisy duke contest at the club as a way to help promote the Dukes of Hazard moving coming out at the time. During the event and when we went out the next day he was a pretty cool guy but was shy as shit. His cousin and I took him out to another trendy nightclub that we were friends with the owners and while sitting in VIP he was too shy to approach any of the women at all. A friend of mine and myself would have to go out on the floor, ask the girls if they wanted to party with Stifler, and then bring them back to VIP. Still amazes me to this day how someone can be in movies and be blowing up in his career (this was right after American Pie 1 IIRC) and still not have any balls to talk to local girls who would blow his buddies just for a shot to get at him.

When I was 15 I was on the freshman football team and one friday we went to Carmines for dinner as a team. While we were there Neil Patrick Harris randomly showed up (this was in Rochester, NY around 1996), he had bodyguards and people started asking him for pictures. We started chanting "Doogie" until one of his bodyguards came over and asked up to stop. Then one our giant lineman went outside, banged on the glass, and kept say "Dooogie!".

Swear to god. I still have no idea why he was in Rochester or at the local Carmines.

I had dinner with Ben Stein when I was 17. I made a joke about wanting to bring my kid to come see his speech but my ex-wife was a bitch. He just dead eyed me and said "I'm really not sure if you're joking or not."

I went to middle school with Bobbie Brown, from the Cherry Pie video. I didn't know here much at all even tho it was a small school. We had 12 in my class and she was a year older. I did go on a blind date so to speak with her in the 10th grade set up by my mom of all people when I changed schools. She went on to win the star search deal, spokesmodel I believe and had a few guest spots on married with children.

LOL at the funny things that come up from odd threads. I googled the name of the private school we attended just for shits and giggles. I knew they closed down and sold off the property/school to the city when the city became incorporated etc...It shut down because enrollment dropped dramatically after a teach was arrested for having sex with students. Teacher was one of the 12ish people in my class when I went.

Odd things.

Edit, it was actually her younger sister. I never keep in touch with people I knew prior to college. Maybe I should lol.

Here's a pic.

Celebs I've met...

Got to shake hands and have a brief conversation with director Spike Lee back when he was making Malcolm X.

Got Bruce Campbell's autograph.

Met Felicia Day for a quick second.

Played games at Gencon with the actor who played Zach from the TV show Bones.

Met David Carradine in between Kill Bill 1 and 2.

An uncle of mine worked in the office of one of Hollywood's biggest agents back in the 80's.

One day Sean Connery (who was one of their biggest listings) was in and was upset that he was being told to learn a Russian accent for an upcoming role, a film set on a Nuclear Submarine. All the other actors would be speaking in a proper Russian accents and it was all set in this enclosed location, Connery was struggling with getting the sounds to come out right, the vowels especially.

It was my uncle who chimed in "Just do it in your Scottish accent, if they have a problem - it's their problem! You're Sean Connery, that's who they hired - that's who they get!!"

2-3 years ago I was waiting to get onto a plane and one of the people that got off was the MMA fighter Matt Hughes. Got his autograph.
