Growing up in Greenville, I ran into quite a few semi-famous people at the Michael Jordan golf classic.

And I literally ran into Lee Norris of Boy Meets World and The Torkleson's at some SAT prep thing. I smashed into him rushing down the hallway.

Shook hands with the dude on the right, who at the time was the world's tallest living human at 7 feet 8 inches. Unfortunately, he was sitting down.



2 former tallest living men in the world:(center) Alexander Sizonenko (USSR) 239cm, (right) Haji Mohammad Alam Channa (Pakistan) 232.8cm.

They appeared on a Japanese TV show in 1990. The chairman(left) Kinya Aikawa was 167cm,and the shortest man(72cm) was Nelson de la Rosa.

The height differential:167cm.


If pic doesn't show, see 3rd pic here: http://images.google.com/images?q=alam+channa


He died in 1998 in New York:

Right off the top of my head, the only famous person (defined-someone that over 1000 people have seen on TV and know their name) I can think of that I've met was Larry Stogner off of ABC news. He was at Southpoint seeing a movie and was in the snack line beside me. Fucker is tall as hell. He has to be pushing 6'10".

We all stared at him like he was bat shit crazy.. He rounded up his crew went on to Hard Rock for a meet and greet.

7/22/2007 7:09:32 PM

I've met a lot in passing, and had others that were more conversations and more lengthy encounters... (events with work, VIP chalets for events, etc). I suppose it also depends on your definition of 'celebrity.'
None the less:
John Travolta, Derek Bell, Wayne Gretzky, Rusty Wallace, Mike Helton, Kasey Kahne, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt (Sr & Jr), Elliott Sadler, Jimmie & Chandra Johnson, David - Sybil & Evan Yurman, R Kelly, Michael - Buffy & Macy Waltrip, Chris Rock, a couple 'kids' in WuTang, Elizabeth Dole, Tons of ball players, and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting....

They make more money, but the vast majority are just people like us... there were only a couple that pulled the "look at who I am" kinda crap. Those, I have no interest in ever meeting again. The ones that were 'normal' gained far more respect.

7/22/2007 7:12:45 PM

I met the guy who plays Dawson's dad on Dawson's Creek. We followed him to the bathroom.

7/22/2007 7:13:34 PM
