Celebrity siting..

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I saw celebrity wrestler Brian Knobs earlier at the local bar. He's an A-town native and had some appearances on Hogan Knows Best. Anyway here is the most flattering picture of him I can find of him..and the camara does add 10 or 30 pounds..

I talk to Bob Backlund all the time at my gym.

One of the nicest guys I've met.

by far my favorite pro wrestler was andre the giant. he was the man. i even had his rubber action figure.

Stories of Andre are interesting to read. You have to admire the ability to drink 119 beers in 6 hours...

I carried Chuck Mangione's Flugelhorn (don't go there) and met Tommy Shaw (Styx) by accident (knocked on the wrong hotel door. I woke him up, and man- his hair was a MESS!)

 

[Grassi21]

i was in an elevator with the Rock and 2 of his body guards. thought he was a hoops player at first then he started talking about his performance on the elevator TV running WWE highlights.

Passed Sly Stallone on the street a few years ago. Man, he's short.

Passed Kareem also on the street - Man he's tall.

But the tallest dude I ever saw on the street was George Bell, 7'8"

Ran into Ed Koch one day as he was coming out of Central Park. Very tall.

I liked his role in The Princess Bride. Anyway the owner of the local bar is a big wrestling fan and there are signed photos of many of the greats and alot of other sports celebritys. NBA great Daryl Dawkins lives in my hood and I sometimes see him at the local mini-mart. He his huge at 6'11 and about 300 pounds but Shaq is alot bigger..wow..

I sat next to Dr. Ruth Westheimer at a Paul Simon concert once. She's very, very small.

Steven Tyler

Also a little guy. I've bumped into him twice. Once at Ski Market, his kids were getting snowboards or something. And then at the movie theater in Kingston MA. He sat about 2 rows in front of me. My buddy who's 6'7" almost knocked him over coming out of the restroom (people "discovered" him so he was rushing out).

Chris Burke - Corky from "Life Goes On" an 80's TV show
Ashley Judd - Hot
Darius Rucker - singer of Hootie and the Blowfish

I've also met Dave Navarro - guitarist of Jane's Addiction, he's a real small guy too.
