Your most tenuous or absurd claims to fame

Mr. Tea

Let's Talk About Ceps
Having a nice chat or getting pleasantly stoned with a famous person does not really count as 'tenuous or absurd' does it?

I had a cup of tea with Patrick Moore AT HIS HOUSE. Beat that!

Sure I've mentioned this on here somewhere before. As if to close the circle, he's apparently a good friend of Brian May...

Oh yeah... right...

One time I ran into Jason Newsted (formerly of Metallica obvs) at a Z-Trip gig on Thanksgiving. I didn't chat with him about electronic music or get him high though, just respectfully asked to shake his hand. He gave me this sagely nod and shook my hand like a fucking metal baddass. The former metalhead in me was most pleased.

True story... It was all pretty random... I don't even know why I was at a Z-trip gig on Thanksgiving (I think a friend had a free ticket...?), let alone Jason Newsted.

Are they married? Fuck, what a sight that must be. :D

I remember some TV program about attraction that involved experiments to show how people often ended up with partners that looked like themselves. The height of narcissism.

grew up a few blocks away from celebrity chef emeril lagasse.

my freshman year college roommate was fred giannelli, one-time psychic tv guitarist who's released lots of electronic dance stuff on his telepathic label and others.

once spilled some beer on thurston moore at a redd kross show.

and a few weeks ago, ran into liv tyler in the west village pushing a baby stroller, all by herself, no handlers/nannies to help, which was kinda cool.

i met pat sharpe at a wedding once (during the waist-length mullet period).. right boring twat.

timmy mallet was there too - his wife is a proper little mouse.. you would be though, if your husband had a mallet..

Funhouse my arse..

my brother's marriage - he worked in radio.. fuck knows what he had in common with sharpe and mallet though.. frank carson and paul mckenna were there too.. i traded jokes with carson but mckenna lurked in the shadows then left early.. the whole thing ended in farce when it kicked off between the newly-wed and one of my other brothers (not for the first time!!)

we were all shitfaced and the mood was volatile from the off.
