    I was at a crap table in Atlantic City must have been mid 1980's.  It was like 3am, only a few of us there, and Dangerfield told everybody to "come on in" gesturing with his hands to "gather round".  He whips out a small pipe, fills it up, and proceeds to bogart the entire bowl.  WTF???  Then he tells everybody to "Break it up, OK, break it up fellas".  WTF???

    My story goes way back to the mid 70's...I was at a random poker table in a Vegas hotel casino and two seats are open.                                                                                                                  To my surprise up walks Yogi Berra and the Italian singer Jerry Va!e.......They both sit down and buy into the game.                                                                                                                      Cannot remember much more than that.....My thought at the time was, what was the common connection that brought these two celebrities to hang out together.

    Me and the wife got invited down to Cowboys training camp in August of 2008 (Hard Knocks was there as well) by an active player who I am close with from my college days..

    S weare on the sideline watching practice one afternoon, there were a bunch of old time cowboys there as well, Lily, Dorsett, Staubach, etc. i was in total awe. So as I was meeting a few of them I get distratcted and forget about the wife for awhile, when I was done and turn to look for here. There is Ed too tall Jones laying the mack down hard on her, just flirting big time with her...I didnt' know what to do so I just kinda stood there and stared at them till Jones noticed me staring...He then looks down at my wife's hand, sees the ring..And just starts laughing says he didn't realize and invites both of us to a dinner at Cowboy HQ later in the evening...it was pretty sweet, and a story me and the wife will always have to smile and laugh about...peace

    Oh and I might add Ed Jones is pretty great guy too

    Lived in LA years ago and met several through work. The ones that stick out the most are:

    Sylvester Stallone - Total Douchebag. After shaking my hand, wouldn't give me or colleague the time of day
    Jonathan Davis (lead singer of Korn) - Awesome guy and favorite celeb I've met. Was super nice, made me coffee and we chatted for 30 min
    Kirk Cameron - Nice guy, but a bible beater and kind of strange
    Jenna Jameson - Nice, but much hotter on screen
    Paula Abdul - Very nice and still looked pretty good
    Portia De Rossi - Not much of a personality, but nice enough
    Paris Hilton - Terrible
    Nicki Hilton - Much better person than her sister

    Jenna Jameson  is kinda like a d list star been in a few main stream pics but probably easy to meet at a vegas porn convention.

    Lived in LA years ago and met several through work. The ones that stick out the most are:

    Sylvester Stallone - Total Douchebag. After shaking my hand, wouldn't give me or colleague the time of day
    Jonathan Davis (lead singer of Korn) - Awesome guy and favorite celeb I've met. Was super nice, made me coffee and we chatted for 30 min
    Kirk Cameron - Nice guy, but a bible beater and kind of strange
    Jenna Jameson - Nice, but much hotter on screen
    Paula Abdul - Very nice and still looked pretty good
    Portia De Rossi - Not much of a personality, but nice enough
    Paris Hilton - Terrible
    Nicki Hilton - Much better person than her sister

    Jenna Jameson  is kinda like a d list star been in a few main stream pics but probably easy to meet at a vegas porn convention.

    stallone does not sign autographs. If he does he charges a hefty price.

    I played 17 and 18 with Earl Anthony (bowler)  as it was gettting dark years ago at a local public course. Anthony and his brother in law joined our group on 17. Good guy. I met Virginia McCaskey, owner of the Chicago Bears at a funeral about 10 years ago. Classy lady. She was still driving her own car.

    Met Ace Freheley playing poker and had lunch with Dr. Jerry Buss.  Jane Goodall at a convention, she led my young daughter in chimpanzee calls, and got to shake hands with Nelson Mandela at the LA Coliseum.

      Must tell you I am very impressed with your resume of celebrities.  You are a very talented individual with most highly  communicable skills that have served you well over the years.  Obviously (if you know anything about me) I am most impressed with Jimmy Buffet.  I guarantee you he and I could have been party forever buds!!!

    I too met Jimmy Buffet.

    One summer when I was about 19, I got a summer job at a golf resort in Biloxi MS.  I worked the night shift at the hotel desk and it was all I could do to stay awake.

    One night at about 4:00 AM, in walks Jimmy Buffet. He looked haggard and mildly intoxicated.  I was a bit stunned and wasn't sure it was him.  

    I told him I had to imprint a credit card for incidental room charges.  He didn't seem entirely pleased by that, but he whipped out his wallet and it unfolded about 8 times, revealing about 2 dozen platinum cards with the name Jimmy Buffet on them.  He said 'which one do you want'? I said "doesnt matter.

    I didn't have permission to check people into about 5 special suites which were always empty except when real big time high rollers who had reservations showed up.  I gave him a key to one of those rooms because I knew that I would not get into any trouble whatsoever.  And I didn't.

    The next day, by noon, he was already gone.  Nobody but me ever had any interaction with him, but had a million questions for me. "what was he like, what did he say, etc. etc.
