The rules are simple: establish a connection from yourself to a celebrity. And not "I once saw madonna in concert" it has to be a real connection. The more minor the celebrity and tenuous the link, the better. Strive to outdo each other!
I'll start.

One of my university friends is friends with the baby (now grown up, obviously) from Labyrinth.

Uh ... I live down the hall from "Simon" from that TV show Seventh Heaven. You definitely win there.

I've gone to several seminars taught by Dan Inosanto. Dan Inosanto was Bruce Lee's top pupil and heir to his JKD legacy. Dan Inosanto also appeared in the Bruce Lee film "Game of Death" as the guy who fought with sticks.

A friend of mine used to be a huge groupie. She made out with Pete Townsend and went jet-skiing with Joey Ramone.

Lee Jun Fan gung fu, Phillipino Kali, and other martial arts. The guy's in his sixties, keeps studying new styles, teaching the ones he knows, and is in better shape than many twenty year olds. Plus he's got alot of great stories about Bruce Lee, and about the Phillipines.

No, I really think they're great. I've got Natural History, and I want I Am Kloot. And hopefully, I'm going to see them in Nottingham next month.

I drank Tequila with John Wayne while I was down in Mexico (Santa Rosalia). Nice guy, he bought my drinks (well he just bought the whole bottle). The Duke could sure hold his juice! :)
