George Washington was my 6th great grand-uncle

So this is the face that attracted your murderous ex?

This is a picture of me, probably taken just before I took her to some high school dance or another. I recall that photos of loungers belong in spoilers for some reason but don't remember why. The pic is 25 years old, which explains my awesome sense of fashion and style



I really don't see the resemblance beyond our mutually ginormous chins tbh.

One day, sitting on the curb with my wife while watching our son ride his trike, a car drove up the street very slowly. When it got to the end of the block, it turned around and came back, again passing us very slowly. It turned around again at the other end of the block, and we were not concerned, and called our son over to us. When the car reached us, the window rolled down and it was Martin Sheen. He asked us which house we lived in, saying that when he first came to California, he lived in the house behind us (which was not our house). We told him the house he had lived in was a kind of famous house in the neighborhood, as it was the first house built there (1929, which, for LA, is like something built in the 4th century elsewhere). I then said now I know it's an even more famous house, which got a smile out of him. Exceptionally nice man.

Later, I realized I should have told him that the morning Jack Albertson won his Oscar (The Subject Was Roses, with Sheen and Patricia Neal), my dad played golf with him and told Albertson that if he won, remember to thank your golfing buddy Lou Fox. The next morning I had breakfast with my dad and he told me, "How do you like that SOB Albertson? Goes up to the stage and cries, doesn't even mention me."

Only myself. That's all I need or want.

Oh dear lord.

I've met your cousin, a couple of times. Then again, that's hardly surprising considering how many people who grew up in StP or Mpls have...
...and I went to school with Eyedea, though he was older than me.

edit: and, being from StP, I know Josh Hartnett's family pretty well, in particular his brothers.

I'm sitting 10 feet away from a famous person right now.

But I'm on location for a film, so that probably doesn't count.

Don "The Cincinnati Kid" Willis, pro pool hustler, was my great-grandfather:

He is said to have defeated many world champions and some considered him the best. World Champ Wimpy Lassiter was his traveling partner.

When I was 12 Ozzie Newsome, cleveland browns TE, presented me a ribbon for 2nd place at a Track n' Field event and shook my hand.

It was my idea to put Rachel Maddow in an M1A1 Abrams and have her fire weapons down range with help from members of the Iraqi Army. To my surprise command thought this was a good idea, and to even greater surprise msnbc thought this was good. I was within feet of her most of the visit, but we said nothing to one another. She's brilliant, btw, doctorate in politics from oxford.

A friend of mine says he used to beat up Marylin Manson, aka Brian Warner, as a kid.

My great grandfather had mob ties and made stills for Al Capone's bootlegging outfit.

That's about it :/

My mom banged Ponch from chips.

WINNER!!!

That guy??

Yes, and I'm serious. I was 2. She dated him after my dad left her.

I ****ed a girl that dated Larry Ellison. Many girls dated Larry Ellison. The Chinese would call us cousins.

my old housemate is best mates with John O'Shea

when i was a baby the pope kissed me

Freshman orientation SVSU was home to the Detroit Lions training camp. I'm lost, and need to piss. Walk into the first mens room I can find. I'm standing there taking a piss when I look over and see that I'm peeing next to Bobby Ross (at the time, he was the head coach).

I look at him and say "holy **** you're Bobby Ross"
He looks at me and says "holy **** you're pissing all over the wall"

Needless to say he wouldn't shake my hand.

My great grandmother is 106 years old. She still lives in her house all by herself and has raised 9 children (all still alive). She still works a garden each year and still makes 3 meals a day (except on sunday). No Lie...

Her dad was like 2nd cousins with Jesse James. When she told me this I was like "Thats cool!" and she was like "Papa used to tell us stories about him all the time!"

I was like damn.

I had a great uncle that played carroll oconners double in the show "heat of the night"

i was Keyser Soze's room mate in college
