A very forefront NBC anchor once met my friend and I at a Manayunk Bar and asked if we would 'swing' somewhere with him if you follow my drift.

Miss running into Iverson at Houlihan's. See John Clark all the time at the City Line Acme and out at various bars in Center City and the Windrift in Avalon.

Working across from the FOX 29 Studios I see most of the morning anchors and correspondants (and if I'm lucky Kerri Lee). Plus once in AC I was at a craps table and Kyle Korver and his buddy stepped up and joined in. The table hit a good streak too (i guess money goes to money).

I have Eddie Murphy's autograph and a picture with him. I worked for CCP in the PR office when they were filming "Trading Places" at the Mint Building (they used the front steps for the outside of the police station).

You wanna meet somebody short -- I also met Malcom Poindexter back then. He must be like maybe five foot!

I also met William Fuller and Kelvin Bryant at a law office I worked at. The two of them were a wall!

I worked in the same building as Nutter's campaign offices this spring, saw a lot of Pols coming and going, talked to him in elevator several times.

So my question as with all news/sports anchors. Was he wearing long pants under the shirt or do they always wear shorts like everybody says they do?

2 points for Papa. 3 points if you found him beyond a half a mile from City Line ave. On a scale where you get 0 for Toleffson 10 for Thomas-Laury.
and a 1,000,000 for Jim O'Brien. but Halloween was yesterday

I met Yoko Ono, but that doesn't really count because I walked into her without looking on the street near her apartment by the Guggenheim. I apologized profusely... I hope she understood it.

Let's see...

Selena, about a year before she was killed

Christina Aguilera at the MGM in Vegas, and I called her a name I won't repeat on here

Paul Schaffer, and there IS a reason why is always wears sunglasses. You don't want to see him without them.

Garth Brooks at a signing. Wonder where is these days?

Donald Trump picked up my dog when he came to Philadelphia a couple years ago

Kelly Rippa also squeezed Max when she was in town a while back. In that moment I was hoping he would pee on her b/c when the encounter occurred I happened to be in a really foul mood about something and had to act nice for her.

I got to meet Patricia Rutledge and spend an hour with her in London at an after-play party at the Savoy Theatre. If you don't know her, this is the actress who played Hyacinth Bucket from the BBC show Keeping Up Appearances. This was a VERY special treat for me. I had bought tickets to an Oscar Wilde play (The Importance of Being Earnest) at Harrod's earlier that day and did not even think about what seat assignment I got.

Turns out, the ticket office at Harrod's department store put me in 2nd row, and when I claimed my check at the box office I was informed that those who wish to stay after the play had ended, space permitted, were invited to a cocktail party with Miss Rutledge, with guests seated in rows 1-5 admitted by default, so I went.

Patricia can really sing, and not long after I had left England, I caught a show where she sang opera at the Albert Hall (I believe it was there). While I was in the UK I felt like a millionaire for all the stuff I got to do at such little expense. It was great. Those play tickets only cost me 50-quid.

But my favorite celeb, and she is very nice in person away from her stand-up routine--is Lisa Lampinelli. I didn't get to say hi to her the last time she was here b/c there was a snowstorm and I wanted to get home quickly after her show.


I really want to spend more time with Wanda Sykes. She's one of the funniest people on the planet. Love her.

I hope Wanda comes to Philadelphia.

I'm best friends with STUFF/MAXIM/American Curves lingerie/swimsuit model and PLAYBOY Cyber Girl of the month, Jurgita Valts! She is originally from Lithuania but lives in the Philly area.

That's her in the avatar with me.
