Same with Yy Detmer. You have my deepest sympathy. Nugent comes across as someone who needs an introduction to a baseball bat multiple times.

I coulda put him on my list also; simply didn't occur to me. Coulda put Niven on my list too; I got pressganged into being the pinch-science-guest at the long-defunct Moscon back in the late 1990s and he was in the audience. He was annoyed with me that I wouldn't speculate on what the dark matter in the Galaxy was, beyond commenting that the as-yet-unidentified-subatomic-particle hypothesis was the leading candidate.

EDIT TO ADD: Though it might also be Steve Monroe when factoring in the "My Mother Told Me" variant. No to both. I was seated in the stands in my HS gym while Reggie and his team were playing against my school's team. His sister Cheryl and his parents were 6 or 8 seats over, and a row down from me. My younger brother's ex-wife was Steve Monroe's agent in Hollywood, when he attended their daughter's b-day party. He was very personable and funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people know I am big Gillian Anderson fan and I have her autograph and a picture with her. She can do an Irish accent so she can do a Yorkshire one.

Shared a flight with Michael Jackson, somehow we, well his entourage, and my mother and I, were the only ones on a first class flight.

archer Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 29 minutes ago, death tribble said: Bill Clinton is the next guess. I had 15-20 minutes of alone time with Bill Clinton after he'd given a speech then a reception. After talking for a few minutes, he tried to convince me to quit school and travel around the state with him as part of his political campaign (getting back the governorship of Arkansas during the 1982 campaign). He had no money and no paid staff at the time. He was booking speeches then buying a platter of cookies for a "reception". And setting up the reception room and breaking it down afterward all by himself. Most of our time together consisted of me staying afterward and putting the chairs away, working at it alongside him. I'd asked him a question during the question-and-answer time at the reception during which he found out I was a local. That question got him talking about farm issues and what he as governor could do to address the 20% interest rates which were killing farmers at the time. It was a great set-up question for him to try to connect with the crowd (and to get quoted in the paper). And apparently showed him I had some political acumen, or at least more than the typical audience member. I can't tell you how many times I regretted the choice of staying in school. A lot of the people who started following him around that time eventually ended up working for him in the White House. I could have finished my college years at any point in time. But there's only a few times in your life that a politician will offer to take you along for a ride to the top. I did manage to get my picture in the local paper with Clinton though by circling opposite the photographer during the reception and making sure I managed to got into every shot.
