#1....My father looks a lot like Bill Gates ! (he is not pictured but people constantly bother me with this tidbit)
His major difference is Bill Gates has bought smaller glasses in recent years while my old man still keeps a larger model. So if Bill Gates met his maker, pops might pull a "Dave" ! whoa.

#2...I am 50th cousins with Brad Pitt

I once was alone in a trailer with Tony Musante - in his undies. Err..HE was in 'em, not me. That count? Somewhere I even have a picture of him with his arm around me... Now, of course, all you kiddies are gonna go "Tony WHO!?!??!" Sigh. I bet if it was Britney Spears you guys'd be impressed. (Grumbling and popping Geritol.)

 

[Bleeding Jawa]

This sucks...I don't know anyone famous....let's see...

Well, one of my friends was recently a dancer in the remix video for the "Thong Song."

Um...prior to that my closest experiece is about 12-13 years ago when I was in Junior High school--my JHS track coach (Tim Newstead) is the brother of Jason Newstead from Metallica.


[EDIT] MY spelling mistake....they are actually brothers

I'll be famous some day...You just wait & see !!!

My uncle worked for Nasa when they first started the space program and the first monkey launched into space stayed the night at his house.

I also have an Uncle who was in Nam and he got his picture taken with John wayne who was there making a movie.

My sister has been inside of Paul Allens (the other microsoft bigwig) house and she was on Wheel of fortune about 7 years back and I got to go on stage after she won and gawk at Vanna White and shake her hand.

[unxpurg8d]

He played himself in the movie "The Flying Irishman". Kinda cool. When I was really little, though, I thought he was the guy on Gilligan's Island! Remember that episode? Think the character's name was "Wrong Way Fenwick" or something like that.....
