Celebrities are usually stupid. The only celebrities I am interested in meeting are people who can actually have a intellectual conversation with me like Serj Tankian or Maynard Keenan. Fuck meeting James Franco or Lindsay Lohan. Most celebrities aren't very smart at all.

My uncle used to own New York city and thus had complete ownership of the Yankees. He took control of the team and kicked the old manager of the team out of his group, because he had a group that went ahead and took the initiative and decided to call his wife and inform her that he no longer would guide the yankees decisions any longer. He removed all his rights to ever dictate a move concerning the Yankees, so if he tried to prevent me from taking over the team it wouldn't work.
Sometimes we realize we use to own a team but then recently lost it, we might forget that we owned it but then gave it away suddenly, maybe it will be without us even deciding it for ourselves and instead something else deciding for us, and because we try to restrain ourselves from apprehending the notion that the division in our teams is relative to the structure of our dna.

I don't like James Franco, but he's a PhD candidate at Yale, so pairing him with Lohan and calling him stupid is a bit undeserved.

Jeez, that guy got busy in college. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Franco#Education
And no, I have never met a celebrity. Lot's of folks from death metal bands, that's about it.

Yale doesn't really mean much to me. It is one thing to read books but it is another thing to read the right literature. Maybe he is smarter than I perceive but from the interviews I have seen with him he doesn't seem very interesting.

yeah after a show
Well we chatted with him a bit after the show, got our pics taken, etc.
One of my buddies invited him to come do the DMT thing with us. He then announced to everyone in the club "HEY, THIS GUY HAS DMT! WHERE'S THE GUY WHO ASKED ME ABOUT TRYING DMT EARLIER!?"
Apparently some kid had met Stanhope before the show and asked him about DMT. 
Anyway, Stanhope introduced us to the kid and we met him afterwards in the parking lot. My buddy gave him his "Machine" and some DMT for free.

That's pretty badass. Pretty cool of your friend to hook the kid up, probably made his day
I really have to go see him live one of these days. I've never really been big on stand up comedy but I love me some Stanhope for sure.

I could totally see him doing that haha. I could also imagine the expression on your faces when he yelled that. I would have been like "okay its time to leave"

Haha yeah it did. The kid was blown away by the generosity. And probably subsequently blown away by the DMT.
Definitely see Stanhope if you ever get a chance! We made a 10 hour round-trip to see him, and it was totally worth it.
The man loves his fans, too! He goes out of his way to take pictures with the weirdos who come to see him 
Really awesome dude. A few of my friends who've seen him separate from me have said the exact same thing.

For what reason do you think you have a better grasp of what "the right literature" is than an internationally esteemed educational institution that has been around for centuries?Quote:

Wouldn't you be better served by reading more of "the right literature" than watching a lot of dull celebrity interviews?

I met Noble Willingham, becaause my brother was married to his daughter. He was the old man who owned the bar in 'Walker Texas Ranger' and was also in 'Good Morning Vietnam' and was the Sheriff in 'Fire In The Sky' and a lot of other movies. He got paid $25K for each episode of Walker Texas Ranger. Fuck.
And I met Janet Demay who was one of the actresses in Remington Steele because that was his GF.

I've met Serj a few times. His brother used to be an employee of mine. Serj has no sense of humor about the Armenian genocide, though.

Seriously...Jews are pretty sensitive about holocaust jokes, too.
The floor tile is done, but the wife wanted to do it first even though it means waiting until tomorrow to do the wall tile. I explained to her that we could do it last and let it all set overnight....
In the end, however, rationality and efficiency were set aside in order to appease her need to see the floor in place in to decide where the deco tiles would go.

from age 14-17 i played ice hockey with the owner of the NJ Devils NHL organizations' son. his father was the owner of the team, went to his house, blew coke off his marble bathroom.
when i was 17 i dropped outta high school, moved to canada to play 21 paid ice hockey in the Ontario Hockey League for the Kitchener Rangers. My head coach was Pete Debour, who is now head coach of the NJ Devils NHL oganization.
About 10-15 kids on my team went on to play in the NHL. Bunch of them on the Nashville Predators, Washington Capitals, NY Rangers, Anaheim Ducks (Bobby Ryan, from my organization in NJ, his father called my house when i was younger to get me to go play in canada for the owen sound attack), also my goalie went on to win rookie of the year in the NHL the next year, Steve Mason of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
i was the real deal, 6'5 255 and talented to boot. Pete Debour told me i could play in the league, that i had the best set of hands on a big man since mario lemieux (no lie)
idk if professional athletes count as "celebs" like you're saying, no rock stars, but yea, when i fucked that up, i came back to NJ and became a heroin addict.
edit: shit i forgot, a buddy of mine got me on set of a Cannibal Corpse video as a production assistant. all the guys were cool as hell, it was freezing but it was cool, they all played ice hockey, they're from buffalo, NY apparently.
here's the video, in the beginning scene the kid running with the backpack is my buddy eric. i was going to be a zombie, but they got some other dude to put on the makeup instead, i was pissed.

When I was really young I met Sigourney Weaver and she said I had the most amazing eyes she's ever seen. Also got some acting lessons from Bruce Greenwood way back in the day for an elementary school talent show.
I've met Bill Nye and had dinner with him, also depending what you consider "celebrity" I've met and had dinner with Jim Bell whose a celebrity in the Science world.
The one in Bold is my favourite.
