My father did some plumbing work for the brother of the Nancy Kerrigan, the Figure Skating Champion who got clubbed right in the kneecap. Weird Al mentioned her in "Headline News", and I guess you could say I'm pretty close with Weird Al.

Also, my dad went to a wedding where all of the Bobby Orr era Bruins attended as well.

Some of you know already know this story, but I rode a horse that was in the movie "Jeremiah Johnson", so yeah, first celeb I met was not human. :P I think I was 12. We went to Utah on a family vacation, and went to a stables where Robert Redford used to ride. My brother was 6 and remembers very little about the trip. His horse was in the movie, too, and was far more famous, having done lots of Westerns. His name was Old Joe. This song speaks to me. Thanks, Al!

I treated Tracy Morgan's Burmese python as well as one of his dogs.
Paul Newman once sat in one of my dad's race cars.
Peter Gallagher nearly knocked my friend and I down when we were in NYC. We called him a nasty name before going "Oh, that's the dad from the OC."
I have been pointedly ignored by both John Henry and Cigar.
