An old one that a lot of people won't know but I took a shower next to Tom Towns at the U of A gym. He reminded me of a Clydesdale.
Took a piss next to Davey Boy Smith in the bathrooms at the old theatre in the Barron Building. He wore his cowboy boots outside his jeans.
Saw all the pre-dynasty Oilers when they use to having training camp at the U of A arena and always hung around the rink. The thing I remember about Gretzky was his bow-legged walk. I didn't know who Dave Semenko was at the time but I thought he was one of the better practice players.
Was in the line-up for the breakfast buffet with Jay Leno at Caesar's Palace (he was doing shows there). At the time I wondered why he would need to line up at the Buffet? My friend went up and said hello to him.
I got to make fun of Martin Gelinas when he came into the Tim Hortons in BV Square and didn't know the queuing procedure and cut in the line up. He was gracious and slightly embarrassed.
Not mine but I once new a guy who completely lacked shame. At some function he went up to Bobby Hull and addressed him as Mr. Howe saying he was a big fan and proceeded to talk to him and ask questions as if he was Gordie Howe. The guy would do things like that just for the reaction and the story he could tell later.
