They kind of hit it off and I guess he asked her for a date that evening. While dancing, Albert groped one of her breasts. She was rather proud of that, and thereafter referred to that particular breast as The Royal Boob.

Ha! I wouldn't care who he was, I would've slapped him

[ResAlien]

Remembered a couple more

Hung out with Boots, MC from The Coup, for a while backstage after a show. Pretty cool guy, burned a couple with him.

Same vein, hung out with Pepper before they blew up. Lead singer was trying to mack my ex (current at the time) wife. It got us backstage, so that's always fun. We got along cause my haole buddy is from Hawa'ii and they just bs'd about home as we drank and smoked. Pretty good times.

Aww ... what's a little grope between friends.

If I recall the story correctly I believe he was kissing her as he did it, so it wasn't as if he wasn't given a bit of a green light.

Haha its funny how many of us has had him teach at least one of our classes before. I had him back in junior high as a sub one day, I totally forget for what class though.

It was back in the 90's when WWF was huge and I was a diehard fan at the time, and its when Bret was out with "arthroscopic knee surgery". We were askin him if the whole thing was fake and was just part of a storyline leading into WrestleMania. He just smirked and didn't say anything.

Okay. That's different. I can be a little nasty (just ask Bill Guerin) 'Ho!

[the crispy badger]

-Met Bret Hart and had his brother Keith as a sub in Junior High who was also at one point going out with my Aunt
-Met a whole group of famous East Coast wrestlers at a wrestling banquet, 75% were related to my fiancee at the time.
-Met Russell Peters after the Just for Laffs festival here in Moncton, he wanted to know where the good bars were and we got to walk him down the street, a great guy
-Hoping one day to meet HHH who is no joke related to my current girlfriend..lol

Ya, but Bill Guerin ain't exactly a Prince. A washed up thug maybe ...

Yeah but still.. I'm no fan of Guerin's but princeliness is just luck by birth, nothing more or less. Guerin was a Bruin when....well, nothing happened I wouldn't let it. The only famous person I mention meeting in this thread was Vaclav Havel because out of a huge list he's the only one that made me say "Wow! This guy is awesome..aside from being a great writer he actually helped change the world" whether you agree with his politics or not..he is awesome.

Prince is his TITle!

[604flames]

Hockey: Guy Lafleur, Marcel Dionne, Don Hay, Marc Crawford, Jarret Stoll, Ed Jovanovski, Matt Cooke, and finally Jody Shelley + Rick Nash (outside Gotham steakhouse one night randomly).

Other: Peter Mansbridge + a few local media types.

[Nuje]

Theoren Fleury, Mike Commodore, Dustin Boyd, Dion Phaneuf, David Moss, Jim Playfair, Dan Aykroyd, Fred Brathwaite.

Also, I've passed Daryl Sutter in his vehicle twice (once in downtown Calgary shortly after the presser to tell us that Sarich was signed, and once on the way to Edmonton to watch the Flames in October)

[Jayems]

Lanny McDonald used to be my hockey coach in minor hockey. One day, he took us all to a flames game, and as the goalie of the team, I got a game used Vernon stick signed by the whole Flames team. I also saw Theo's doodle.

Other than that, I can't think of anyone really famous.

No way! I LOVE The Rasmus! I went straight to HMV after school this past October the day their new album came out, heheh. Not too many people know/remember who they are though, shame.

As for myself...

Hockey: Basically every Flame currently on the roster, had a tiny conversation with Sutter one day, Ryan Getzlaf, Chris Kunitz (he was awesome! I had my friend on the phone who lives in Florida but she is the biggest Ducks fan, and he talked to her for a bit, then she made me ask him for a hug from her, which he accepted), several other Ducks from the year they won the Cup, Mike Sillinger, Stephane Yelle (a few times ), I saw Tim Thomas and Zdeno Chara, Theo Fleury.... probably more, I don't know.

Outside of hockey: William Joseph (a pianist), Luke Perry, Lucas Bryant, Josh Ramsay from Marianas Trench, all of Hawk Nelson, Robb Nash from Live On Arrival, Kyle Riabko (music artist from Saskatoon), I touched Howie's hand from the Backstreet Boys , and lastly that I can think of right now is I got a wave from Michalis Hatzigiannis (famous singer in Greece).

So some kind of well known ones there, but no one outstandingly famous, haha.

[Rerun]

When I was a kid, growing up in Belleville Ontario, I met Bobby Hull a number of times. He always spent the off season in the Belleville area (had a farm and a cottage there).

He always showed his prize bulls at the summer fair and was always friendly towards all us Bellevillians.... especially us kids.



Also, I don't think you would exactly call him famous, but my best buddy's brother is Paul Cyr (played for Buffalo, Hartford, Rangers).

Hmmm ... now who else... oh I know... I met Candy Samples once when she was performing here in Calgary. Got my picture taken with and everything.... me standing behind her with my arms wrapped around her holding on to here HUGE ta-tas.

I saw Ronnie the Limo Driver walking around Ricks Cabaret last summer. I wanted to yell "Scores Man! Got a Tattoo!", but I didn't want to seem like a nerd in front of my Russian entertainer.

Nice! He's about meetin' girls, he's about meeting guys. How was Rick's? Quality women? How much money did you drop?

I met Sal and Richard at a Killers of Comedy show in Boston last year, just a quick minute to shake their hands and say hello. Also got a picture with the Iron Sheik that same night, he slapped his wrestling belt over my shoulder, shook my hand and said, "Thank you for coming to see Iron Sheik! God Bless!". Haha, that guy rules.

I'm totally jealous...that's awesome! I think that if I got to meet Ronnie I would go with the ultra classy "lets fata some whores!".

I've met only one or two slightly famous people:

Georges St. Pierre (phenomenally nice guy!)

The 2005-2006 Flames, sans Kipper

A bunch of Liberals and NDPers both provincially and federally .

Quite the opposite actually. She was one of the funniest, happiest people I have ever met. And a fiery redhead to boot!
