Wow >.> I live by 37th & 135th ...

I haven't spent much time on the west side of Wichita in a few years, but I have seen a little semi-recently. It's crazy now; I remember when 21st and Maize was a dirt road intersection. Now it's like super suburbia America all the way north to K-96. Seriously, there's a Wal-Mart, Target, and Dillon's at the same intersection? Add a Best Buy, a few banks, and at least 20 restaurants.. wtf.

[Plow]

lol, I used to live on 17th street just off Maize road... between our house and 21st was just a bigass field we flew kites in, and the end of our block to the west, which was all of 2 blocks west of maize, was the last house before 119th. Watching that intersection change has been insane, it still makes me sad to drive by and see anything other than the 7-11 that's not there anymore lol.

I actually went to kindergarten at Maize when I lived there. In fact I have to send you a PM with a question, lol.

I've met Troy Aikman (child hood hero rly, my mom has a "shrine" with alot of old Troy stuff) 3 different times, one which was televised for some health thing for kids, which I cant for the life of me remember.... my mom worked for Healthsouth at the time and it was organized by them to have a bunch of celebs talk about an active lifestyle. He signed my cast when I snapped my wrist and I was on top of the world for the last couple months it was on.

I also met Hershel Walker 2 different times, once at the health gig that Troy was at, the other was at Disney World. He kept his superbowl rings on a his goddamn keychain lol.

Theres plenty more but it's 3 in the morning and my memory is a bit hazy.

[Moridam]

Hmm, not much in the way of celebrity stories that involve me personally. Harvey Keitel once bought my brother a sandwich though, he (Harvey) bumped into my brother somewhere in Boston and knocked some kind of food/drink out of his hands and whatnot.

Closest thing I've got personally, was i used to hang out with Trey from Morbid Angel whenever they toured thru New England.

[Mici]

I went to high school with Mike Jones
I bought/smoked weed with him for almost a full year.

[Denchi]

Uh

I worked as a valet in Phoenix, and parked the cars of Wayne Gretzky, Jenna Jameson, her ex-husband, Jerry Seinfeld, Amare Stoudemire, etc etc. Oh yeah, and Chili Davis (old baseball player) gave me a $400 bottle of wine when I was valeting. I was 19 hehe.

One of the old American Idol finalists, Paris Bennett, also went to my school for a year up in MN, and she did plays and stuff. She was pretty much the only black person in our school, so we did "The Wiz" one of my best buddies was in it with her so we all hung out.

And uhhhh the old coach of the MN Vikings, Mike Tice, his son and nephew went to my high school. So I saw them around a lot.

Kirby Puckett lived in my city when I grew up too, so I trick-or-treated at his house and saw him at the grocery store all the time and stuff. That's all I've got, nothing too great.

When I was in New York two summers ago I had sex with a chick that was in the Chappelle's Show QVC parody skit. She was the one model that had herpes (not IRL lol).

Also, when I was growing up I lived in south Florida and played against Dan Marino's kids in football, roller hockey, and whatnot. His son I remember was a dick, he tackled me out of bounds after I burned him in flag football. One Halloween he came to my friend's house in a stretch golf cart with all his kids and he was wearing a Jay Fiedler (the Dolphin's QB after Marino retired) jersey, which I thought was hilarious. When we went to his huge-ass house his latina maid was giving out king size kit kats. It was the best Halloween ever.

[Dezzimal]

I don't know either of them personally but aparently Ira Flatow was in the audience of the Daily Show a week ago on Tuesday. I grinned a bit as I do listen to Ira and did a double take when Jon said "Welcome to Science Friday".

Oh man, this reminds me of a few good ones. I used to work at what I would consider the nicest restaurant in my home town (I graduated in a class of 37 if that gives you any indication of the size of the town) and Huey Lewis would always come in and get food. His kids were pricks and they would walk all over the restaurant, like back in the kitchen and in the break room and stuff. They always made a huge mess too (Huey didn't if he came in with just him and his wife, but those kids were bastards).
We also had Hank Williams Jr. come in all the time. Apparently when he was younger he fell down some rocks or something and his face is all scarred up, thats why he always wears a full beard and glasses. Someone told me after I made the comment of "That guy kind of looks like Hank Williams Jr. if his face wasn't all fucked up."

My uncle was Alex Krycek on the X-Files.

I found out last year that I used to hang out with Pink when I was in high school. I literally had no idea Pink was actually the same girl, she looks nothing like she used to back then.

Only other thing I can really think of is that my brother-in-law used to hang out with the Bloodhound Gang growing up. I never actually met them myself but they were supposedly really crazy and big time party animals.

My Uncle who's a chef worked for this Georgian billionaire (Badri Patarkatsishvili) until he died late last year at home. My Aunty (She worked there too) & Uncle couldn't leave the house for 2 days while the police investigated incase he was murdered like that Russain guy who died from plutonium poisoning a while back, apparently they were friends.

I saw my Uncle on one of the news bulletins one day as he was taking food into the kitchen as journalists were talking to the police.

My Uncle's boss Badri was a really nice guy, but he bared an uncanny resemblance to the Monoploy man.

During my Senior year of high school (1997-1998) the DC news did a report on "Kids Going Bad," about high schools kids in the metal/goth scene. I was a metalhead, and the news crew came to my high school (James W Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax, VA) to take footage for it since we had a significant goth/metal crowd (5,000 students). Anyway, they played the news report on our school's morning and the following played out in what they put on the air.

•Intro to the story, etc...
•They're showing regular kids walking through the hallways, and then, "But, sometimes kids go bad," from the narrator. Fade in to a scene of myself and two friends sitting against a wall in the hallway before the first bell rang. My friends are wearing metal shirts (one friend had a Mayhem shirt on with 2 inverted crosses - probably what made them publish it). I was wearing a team Finland Saku Koivu hockey jersey, which made it rather ridiculous.

After it was broadcast everyone in the school found it hilarious because they all knew we were straight-A students, and friends with anyone regardless of "clique." That was a highlight for me, proving that the media is absolutely clueless. The camera guys were really cool though and knew a bit about underground metal at that time.

I also met Hershel Walker 2 different times

Once for one personality and once for the other?
