Thanks, TAPS- ...
I'm really starting to regret not collecting them, though.
After all, one of my friends has a pair of Woody Allen's sweat-stained socks.

FYI:
I've also met Roger Ebert, Dave Barry, Allen Iverson, and the remarkably well-preserved corpse of St. John Neumann.

No, BlackPearl.
Although it was Chris O'Donnell in "Scent of a Woman" (a so-so film), .Dave. had referenced "Dog Day Afternoon" (a brilliant one), with it's very memorable performance by Chris Sarandon (Susan's ex-husband) as Al Pacino's "wife".

It's funny, Ann, because Manon wondered what the big deal was ...
seeing as famous actors speak at our school all the time, anyway.
I was like, "You're not killing this buzz with your twisted logic!"

Tanga, you guys can keep "Brangelina", for all I care.
I hate both of them.

That's a good one, Mademoiselle. You could have sold the crumbs on eBay. LOL.

Mademoiselle,
That's a pretty cool sighting. I've seen a few music stars and pro athletes. Patrick Ewing once cut me off in traffic. I gave him a seriously dirty look. He just smiled and waved. Also, do you mean Chris O'Donnell? I'm probably wrong. Is the Chris Sarandon person Susan Sarandon's son? I didn't see the movie all the way through, but I remember a little about the Hooh hah thing.

May you have many more sightings!
How typical of someone to suspect that MJ and JJ are the same.

We do not see many celebrities here!
Maybe more stars will start having babies in Africa.

Don't intentionally induce severe vomitting ...
it's just not worth it.

oh, goodness. You are here. But I need to run to class right this minute.
I'll talk to you later tonight (hopefully I can legitimately ditch the recital, like fainting.) Miss you.

I'd like to see MJ up close, too, bandana ...
I hear he's positively grotesque!

Thank you very much, Mrs Tanga ...
Although, don't feel too badly, most of my days are
nowhere near as exciting.

Um, I'm fairly certain those two are dead, Moon.
P.S. How's the "wife"?

That's really exciting. Was he alone?
A long time ago (back in high school) I went with two friends to a golf course in Encino, California. We were just hitting it at the driving range when Samual Jackson came and took the space right behind us. He was tall and lean, pretty much the way he looked in the movies, but cleaner. He had a trainer with him, and he played pretty well. But, for some reason, it wasn't that exciting. I'd rather see Al Pacino than Samual Jackson. And Michael Jackson, than Janet Jackson (even though I suspect they are the same person.)

That is quite amazing..
it must be wonderful to see celebrities like that... you guys in that part of the world obviously will get more chances and the odds are better. Little old me here in Zambia will see squat.
I enjoyed this post, very funny.

I think it was that other guy - that comedian guy but, since I don't know anything about contemporary culture, I can't remember his name. MoonSpirit 
(of course it could have been Mark Twain or Albert Einstein.)

Actually, Ann, I took a pic with my camera phone.
But it was too dark, and didn't come out right.

It really was, .Dave. ...
Arguably, the high point of Chris Sarandon's career.

Yah, Strat, it was almost as exciting as that time Roger Ebert grabbed my ass!
Tom Berenger? Really?
That's ironic because he was killed by a drag-racing psychopath in an episode of "Nightmares & Dreamscapes"!

That's pretty cool!
Not everyone makes a celebrity choke on a bagel with a Marine grunt.
The closest I ever came to such an encounter was the day I almost ran over Tom Berenger in the middle of Bay Street in Beaufort, SC. Imagine, little old me getting flipped off by a big movie star!
