I hung out with Corey Feldman in the early 90s at Knott's scary farm. Our friends were waiting for some ride and I went to have a smoke and he was there smoking. I just ignored him, some folks asked for autographs he was cool about it. When they left I asked if it ever gets old. He said nah. We spent the next 30 minutes shooting the shit. Our friends got off the ride at the same time and he asked if him and his friends could tag along. We ended up hanging out the entire night.

In high school I started ahead of a guy who has since won a world series and is a household name with MLB fans. He only finally started his junior year when he finally switched positions from 3b to center field. 3 of my other teammates played MLB but were nothing special. My brother and friends still give me shit about it to this day. Oh yeah, and I was drafted out of HS in 94 myself, and hit over .700 my sophomore year in 92.

And I smoked pot with Carrottop at a Black Crows concert in 95 or 96.

After the bar shut down, I went to culinary school and cooked with Hubert Keller, Joel Robuchon, Alain Ducasse, Mike Chang, and recently helped my good friend Ludo set up a new menu at Trois Mec. I was waiting tables one night because we were short handed and I was the only one in the kitchen who could do it. Anyway, Harry Dean Stanton came into the restaurant, didn't even look at the menu, and told me he wanted a grilled cheese sandwich. None of the chefs would cook it, since it wasn't on the menu, so I made him one. He said it was the best grilled cheese he'd ever had. True story.

Were you on your way to keep a little girl out of trouble?

Cause that's how it was that one time I met him.

A bit before Sigil games shut down Brad McQuaid invited a bunch of members of top EQ guilds such as myself and Thott on an all expenses paid trip to come see the game to hopefully help hype it up. When I was in line at the airport on the way home Puck from the real world was in line in front of me talking to a handful of people. I made eye contact and gestured like I was going to start talking to him as well, then just completely ignored him. I think it genuinely upset him.

I used to work for a minor league basketball team. At one point or another, there were four former NBA players affiliated with the team (GM, head coach, assistant coach, player). The head coach for whatever reason liked to use the phone at my desk, so I got to hear one side of his conversations. A few times I listened to him talking to George Gervin and David Stern.

One day, he got a package from Upper Deck, it had a bunch of stickers and basketball cards for him to sign. He said they were giving him $5 for each autograph. Took him about 1/2 an hour to sign, he had me add up how much he'd made, it was something like $575, packed them up, and said he was going to have them send him some more.

Another time, a delivery guy came into the office, and said he had 50 cases of Nikes. I said "50 pair", and he said "No, there are six pair per case". The head coach had his own signature Nike, and part of the deal was they would send him as many as he wanted. He gave me and a few other people a pair, the rest he sold for $50 to $75 a pair. I used to have a pic of his office filled with shoes, but I can't seem to find it.

I got hammered on a flight to Vegas with Tiffany Mynx, legendarily filthy porn star. She jerked me off under the airplane blanket and I diddled her doodle. She hooked me up with an 1/8th of the best weed I've ever smoked, asked me to call her once I got to my hotel, then never returned my voice mails.

I once saw Aftathott run by me on Mithaniel Marr. Also, I was briefly a guide on Veeshan so I met some of the FoH guys when they were having some issues on a raid. Top that, fuckers.

When I was doing some training in Pensacola in 1994, I was in uniform at Church's Chicken and noticed Emmitt Smith. He was with a couple of guys waiting for his food and I just nodded to him in recognition and he nodded in return. Probably why he's a hall of famer now.

Also met Virgil Hill on a number of occassions. My martial arts school used to do demos and stuff during some of the local fights and stuff he helped promote. Have been involved in a few conversations with him. Asked if he was ever going to get a rematch with Roy Jones and he looked kind of uncomfortable when he said no. Probably also why he's now a hall of famer.

One time I was pvping in Rift black garden battlefront. We were farming the ledge and this cleric jumps down into a pack of 10 of us.

He lived, killed 3 of them, stole the flag, and singlehandedly turned the match from a farm into a fight.

The name of that Cleric was Mippo.

I went to high school with Summer Sanders (olympic gold medal swimmer). Pretty sure my chiseled physique was her inspiration for trying to get in shape via swimming. When she won her medals and was being interviewed, she'd do this particular facial expression that was her little code indicating she loved me. I'm not going to tell you what the expression was of course, but she still did it when she was on Celebrity Apprentice years later. I feel bad for her, being obsessed with me still after all those years.

Kinda fucking weird, but my only celebrity interaction was with Summer Sanders. Back in high school (near Orlando FL) she worked on a shitty MTV show called "Sandblast". It would film at one of the disney water parks, which i forget the name of. So my girlfriend at the time and I actually got on this show for two episodes. Summer and I had some flirty banter, one of which was her singling me out smiling and asking me to help her with her lines.. right in front of everyone, including my GF. I just stupidly smiled and said sure. Later on I get an earful from the GF along the lines of "That bitch was hitting on you!!" and I just played along as I was clueless.

So yea, I am sure she actually went on Celebrity Apprentice all these years later hoping that I would also be on the show again as well.

Oh yea, completely forgot. I shook Bill Clinton's hand in London once when he flew into Hyde Park near the US Embassy. I am pretty sure I influenced his decision to take blow jobs from staff. *wait.. that came out wrong.. fuck it's hard to Mippo*

I went to High School with Eric Stonestreet. I was a freshman and he was a senior, at this small school that I had just moved to a couple years prior. I was familiar with Eric since he did 4H with my sisters and I'd heard about his clown hobby, but it's not like I knew him personally or we ever hung out. So I'm in the cafeteria one day sitting by myself and the next table was full of people on the football team. Suddenly Eric (who played on the line IIRC) gets up, walks over and sits down across from me at my table. I just kinda freeze because I'm this awkward ginger freshman and now I have Eric sitting across from me in a football jersey staring at me with a large chunk of the senior football players watching. I don't remember how he phrased it exactly and there was some other things said in his setup, but eventually he looks me square in the face and asks"so, are you a ginger down there too or not?". The place got super quiet and I'm sitting there wondering how the fuck to answer this with everyone staring at me, so for some reason I squeaked out a "no". Well, Eric just loses his shit on the spot laughing and their entire table just falls over laughing. After a minute or so Eric and his table gets up and walks out and I was just left there to finish my lunch in this awkward silence and the rest of the cafeteria whispering about it.


I don't think there was ever a song written about it, but if Eric ever does become a songwriter then I hope he writes one.

Did you never let your family forget it, and turn them into a Vikings/Eagles/Steelers/Cowboys/Bengals family?
