I once used the urinal next to Bret Hart at a bar in Lethbridge (Essie's). I said "You're Bret Hart, eh?" he said "Last time I checked.". Awkward.
Chris Jericho bumped into me as he was exiting a hotel bar in Calgary. He didn't notice. He was still relatively unknown as Liontamer Chris Jericho in WCW at that time. He hadn't done his "feud" with Goldberg yet, nor had he wont he Cruiserweight championship yet.
I also saw Chris Benoit at SilverCity Theatre in West Ed Mall. He was obviously still famous at that time.
I saw Cuba Gooding Jr. at a Flames vs Kings game at the Saddledome. I bumped into him and he apologized and I was trying to figure out how I knew that guy. Then he was shown as the "Fan of The Game" on the big screen and I was like "Oh, yeah. him".
Got my friend's little sister Joe Nieuwendyk's autograph at a restaurant in Calgary. My friend and I didn't think it was really him so we sent his younger sister over to get autograph as he was leaving... it was him.
When I was in Vegas a stranger handed me his camera and asked me to take a pic of him and his buddy. So I did. He was just a fan getting his pic taken with Tito Ortiz.
Rich and Ron Sutter used to come into Canadian Tire in Lethbridge quite a bit when I worked there. They both knew me by name, even on days when I wasn't wearing my name tag. I saw Rich at a Hurricanes game towards the end of this season and said hi as I walked by, he kindly said Hi back, but I could tell he didn't recognize me anymore.
I post on the same forum as the premature ejaculator in Mystery, Alaska.
I once peered into a limo parked in a parking lot along Mayor Magrath drive on street machine weekend in Lethbridge. I couldn't see anything, but the driver got out and told me to get away because his client couldn't see. The next day I was told that Tom Cruise was sitting in a limo watching the cars cruise.
