My grandmother went to school with Bob Barker at one point, my mom met Harry Chapin, and Emma Stone liked a post I made on her Facebook wall a few years ago.

How could I have forgotten? Sarah Silverman pulled me out of the audience once to use as a "straight woman" for a comedy bit she was trying out. It wasn't as flattering as it sounds. I felt more like she was doing prop comedy.Eyeball Chair wrote:

I thought the point of the song (and the phrase, in general) is that YOUR claim to fame (basically, the thing that makes you unique) is that you once almost met a celebrity or even DID meet a celebrity, instead of BEING a unique person (creating something, being an artist that OTHERS might admire, or just doing something great or at least attempting to).algonacchick wrote: What I'm not understanding is, some of you are saying directly meeting someone famous is a lame claim to fame. Is it because you think the person is lame? The point of the song is, this person has never directly met someone famous.
What I would GIVE to take a smurf in the house of Elton John's bass player. #morelikeNEI(notenoughinformation)algonacchick wrote:MandatoryFun - TMI
What I'm not understanding is, some of you are saying directly meeting someone famous is a lame claim to fame. Is it because you think the person is lame? The point of the song is, this person has never directly met someone famous. That being said, I went to high school with the current bass player for Elton John, and his brother, who plays drums for Ringo Starr. My own little lame claim to fame relating to my band - Someone at the grocery store recognized me and said "I know you! You're Problem Child!"
