I have been out drinking with Catherine Zeta Jones's brother Lyndon a few times, he lives down the road from me. He brought Michael Douglas into the local pub once just to show him off.
He is arrogant but is okay in small doses.

Every politician I ever shook hands with has won the election. Nixon in '68, a few congressmen and state senators.

I went to dinner with Jackie Lydon. (Who?) Heard another old friend, Time magazine bureau chief and defense department correspondent, interviewed on NPR last night.

I sleep with myself on a regular basis. I also sometimes engage in snide conversation with Dids.

My mom's cousin's husbands brother was Timothy Treadwell aka Grizzlyman. The dude that got eaten after living with grizzlies in Alaska for almost 13 years. His name was Timothy Dexter but changed it to Treadwell to be disassociated with the family for some reason. Apparently he was a weirdo.

Whatever would make you say that?

The only real "tie" I have is that this guy grew up one town over from me...about 150 years before I was born.

I went to elementary school with the nephew of Mickey Owen, a retired MLB catcher famous for a passed ball that cost the Brooklyn Dodgers the 41 World Series.

Owen was the local county sheriff for many years. I shook his hand and talked to him during his unsuccessful campaign for Lieutenant Governor.

My dad's brother is a well known director. Let's just say he has a few top ten films. Not saying who because of what I'm about to say:

We don't talk to him and he gives us no cash because my dad porked his (ex now) wife

Both dirty jobs, but someone's gotta do 'em.

I'm a descendant of a former premier of New Brunswick, Henry Emmerson, I forgot the exact connection. I went to school with the bassist from Protest the Hero, and was at their first CD release show. A friend of mine, who I was a bridesmaid for is first cousins with Deryck Whibley from Sum 41. Also, Khaos4k was in a movie when he was little and has an IMDB page. Technically I can say I'm married to an actor from an award-winning film.
