rr666 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I ate breakfast a couple tables over from Rod Stewart. I was on a cruise with Winnie from "The Wonder Years", played blackjack with her. I dated the sheriff's daughter in high school. Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa_Eagle Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Dinner with Carlos Buhler after the slideshow he gave earlier this year here in PDX. Â I had dinner with Fred Beckey when he was in town two weeks ago. Then I went out to the Lucky Lab afterward and watched him get digits from no less than 3 women in their 30's. Watched him dodge questions left and right, including harmless ones- Me: "Did you make the trail up depot creek?" Fred: "It's been there for a while." Â I ran into Lowell Skoog on the trail up to Boston Basin, and not realizing who he was, asked for any beta on the West Ridge of Forbidden then went on my merry way.

Does this mean your free copy of the infamous 'Dr. Flash Amazing Sex Tape' wasn't a soothing enough balm for your damaged feelings? Â Oh, life can be so unjust!

klenke Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Me: Muhammed Ali. Shook his hand. Got his autograph. Threw him a left hook and he rope-a-doped. (Okay, that last sentence was a fabrication.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran into the former mayor (Clint Eastwood) when working there, as well as sold some dishes to his wife (the local news anchor) - I didn't realize who she was until she produced her ID when paying by check.

dkemp Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 When I was one year old (1963) my mom took us to see Martin Luther King Jr march in Jackson MS. He stopped and asked my mom if she would join the march. She said "No, Dr King, I got my family here." He waved and she waved, and the march progressed. Yeah, my mom is awesome. Â I once had BillyGoat stay the night at my pad. He actually fell for the line, "Breakfast is my specialty." Â I once had Klenke name a peak correctly on a "Name that Peak" thread I started.

slothrop Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Jennifer Love Hewitt gave me a smooch on the cheek as my grandpa picked me up from school one day. He teased me for months. We were in second grade, at which point in her career she was already wearing makeup. She didn't look like this yet, though: Â Â Oh, and Scot'teryx gave me a belay test at Cascade Crags.

scott_harpell Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 i failed a belay test there once cause i didn't know the verbal commands (the difference between take and tension). that is my claim to fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
