I met Glenn Danzig just recently, he was super shy and kept shaking my hand over and over... he about died when he accidentally said the "F" word in front of me, then apologized profusely. Cool dude, it was fun.
I also met Norm MacDonald when I was working at UNR--he was mad because I didn't want to go drink with him, he was weird. I met some other comedian, big dark skinned dude with dreadlocks, used to be on "Make me Laugh." I can't tell you what he said to me, I'd get banned. I just met Penn and Teller at Harrah's Lake Tahoe after their show a couple weeks ago.
I've also met: Suicidal Tendencies; Blue Oyster Cult (pervs); Cinderella (the band, not by choice); David Lee Roth, Steve Vai, and the dude from the video who said "Fahget about it, Dave (again, not by choice);" TSOL; and Social Distortion (at a McDonald's in Hollywood, they took my french fries).

Oh yeah, I also met Dale Murphy from the Atlanta Braves when I was like 14, he was so sweet. And recently I've met most of the current Atlanta Braves (or 90's Braves). Mark Wohlers always waves and comes over to give me a peck on the cheek if I see him out and about when they're playing in SF. He's hot.

My grandmother's great-uncle, which would be my great-great-great-uncle is Fred Maytag, inventor of the washing machine and founder of the appliance giant Maytag. Never knew him but have seen pictures of him at grandma's house. Got a picture of him with his good friend Henry Ford.

I played before a Red Wings hockey game back in 87-88 or so at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. I met the entire Detroit team (Steve Yzerman, Joey Kocur, Bob Probert) and St. Louis(Brett Hull). Bob Probert actually escorted one of the Hockey moms out to her car to move it cause it was blocking his Vette. The area is not a nice one - downtown Detroit.
My all time favorite was a scrimmage game against the old time Red Wings. Gordie Howe, Alex Delvecchio, Ted Lindsay, I dont know if Sid Abel was there or not. I wish I had a list of all the names that were out there. We were all about 15-16 years old if I remember right but man they made us look silly. The goaltender for the Old time Wings, I think it may have been Terry Sawchuck, looked like he needed a wheelchair. We never did score on them though. The rest of the team looked like a retirement home but man could they skate!!
Derrien Hatcher was my defensive partner at the time. He now plays for the Dallas Stars I believe. I think he may even be the captain of the team as well. I also met with his brother Kevin Hatcher.

Vice President Dick Cheney, when he was the Secretary of the Navy. Gave him and his wife a demonstration of USS Missouri's Harpoon Guided Missile System while in port Hawaii for the 50th Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Collin Powell, during the same event mentioned above.
Steven Segal & Kelly Lebrock when he came on board the USS Missouri to scout the ship for the filming of "Under Siege".
Steppenwolf (the entire band) gave them a tour on the same mentioned ship.
Jimmy Jam aka James Harris. Deliver/set up his Christmas tree this year.
Kevin Garnett Timerberwolves - bought a Air Nautique from my father-in-law.
Rich Mullins, DC Talk, Newsboys, Amy Grant and quite a few others As a Security Guard and personal escort at Sonshine Christian Music Festival.
That's it for "Actually Met" as in spoken with. Was in close proximity (w/in) 10ft of George Bush Sr., Arnold Schwarzeneger, Prince.
Certainly there was a bit of excitement in meeting them, but they're cool people and put you right at ease. They're a-lot more comfortable with you when you treat them like a normal person and don't act star struck around them.
