Ever Met Any Celebrities? What were they like? Quentin Tarantino Story Inside.

Kid Rock, in 1998, was opening up for Monster Magnet at the Rave in Milwaukee.

I had listened to him for awhile before he ever got popular. He was wearing this green sequins Detroit Pistons get up and I yelled out “Pimp of the Nation”..
He comes walking over by me and says “I didn’t think that album ever even made it out of Detroit”.

then he took my whiskey sour and finished it off... said thanks and walked away
 
Many iconic fighters, a couple of men who became President, a couple of rock stars & actors.
The biggest names are Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump & Jared Leto. All of whom were great aside from Trump who was not only very arrogant but he shorted me on my pay when I fought on one of his cards at the Trump Taj Mahal back in 1990.

As if I didnt have enough reasons to dislike Trump.
 
I've met the original Stig from Top Gear. And the Chuckle brothers.

I walked past Jodie Kidd and Julian Clary. I could have approached them but I very much got the impression they wanted to be left alone.
 
I jammed with the bass player from Endeverafter because his sister was friends with my gf at the time and they were all hanging out in my bands rehearsal studio

Cant decide whether utter bollocks, or too bizarre to not be true.
 
Jim Lampley at the mall... his beauty pageant competing gf was there, too... not long before he tossed her around.
She had a big ass old lady hat, just like when I saw her entering court on the news.

She has come off like a bitch in an interview or two I've seen in the past (literally justifying being a bitch to random people when she hangs out).
Not polished enough for the refined Sherdog gentlemen. Somebody should set her up with Jim Lampley.




Okay, this is my last edit to this post... what kind of hat was he wearing? I bet it was old-timey like Lampley's old gf's.

No hat, that I recall. It was on the set of 21 Jump Street. They filmed it at my high school.

Maybe he started that later in life.
They used to film some of Veronica Mars at my school in college. I was glad when the show got cancelled. They used to block one of the paths I needed to go from one class to the next.

Never saw a single actor there, though.
 
Madeline Albright. I had a strong urge to play rock-paper-scissors with her, but settled with a handshake and a "Hi, it's good to meet you."
 
Fedor walked by me at an airport. He looked focused, so I didn't interrupt him.

I also met the GOAT at a super market:

 
A few..

Gave a hug to jacare at an LA club during ADCC in 2005..he got subbed with a standing RNC by roger in the absolute!

Bumped knux with batista at whole foods in tampa

Walked by hulk hogan in the airplane..fucker had his earpiece on and looked down not wanting to be bothered

Took a pic with usain bolt at miami airport

Partied with bad bunny at a miami club

Lol..trump is a cheap bastard
 
Fuck tarentino. Fuckin pedo toe lickin try too hard cunt. Fuck him for that Bruce Lee bullshit.

I met Jerry Stiller once on an elevator in a hospital in Manhattan on the way to see my dying dad. I told him dad was a truck driver and loved him in king of queens. The next day I walked in and Jerry Stiller was sitting with my father.
Bruce Lee BS was the most honest thing to come out of Hollywood since.. Ever.
 
I met Tipper Gore (when Al was the Veep) when I was deployed to Africa. That lady is 6ft. tall if she's an inch! Great smile too.

I met Brian Stann, Babalu, and Tom Atencio when I was stationed on Okinawa. I went up and said "Capt. Stann! Good to meet you sir!" He was like (and I am not making this up) "Good to meet you! Hey man! Kick Babalu in the nuts since he hasn't adjusted to the jet-lag. He won't do anything..."

I said "Uhhh... NO." He and Babalu had a laugh.

The next day my Capt. (nice lady from Tennessee) says, "My husband and I were out at a local bar and in walks this short Latino guy (Babalu) with tattoos all on his neck! I looked at him and said Ugh! So NOT authorized! (against military tattoo regulations)"

I said "DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT WAS?!?!?" She said "No." I said "As close to a real-life terminator that bar will ever see." She laughed out loud... Good times...
Damn that is crazy, because I went to a WWE event since they gave us free wrasslin tickets from some Army Promotional thing. I was sitting behind Chael Sonnen, Matt Lindland and a couple of their crew. And Chael the whole time was heckling and getting drunk as fuck. Matt turns around to me and says, "Kick his ass for me will you?" I was like, "Fuck that your on your own Mr. Lindland." We loled.
 
Smoked a cigarette with Lt. Dan when his band was playing in Honolulu. Really nice dude. Shot the shit for a few minutes then he invited me to his concert. Couldn't go though because I had to get back to my Army class.

Stayed in Baltimore as a group for this thing we had to do at the Pentagon. I went out drinking alone to the Hard Rock in the bay area thingy there. I was drinking shots and for some reason I had my dog tags out and was fucking with them, putting a silencer on them or something. And this dude says, "soldier huh?" I didnt really pay him any attention, but then I did a double take and said, "Holy Shit! Your Frasier!" He said, "Kelsey, but I play a Frasier on TV." We loled and he proceeded to get me shit faced buying me drinks. It was fucking surreal, then he called me a cab back to my hotel room. Never heard from him again. Super nice dude.

Met Oliver North when I was deployed. I ran up to him as he was coming out of a mess tent, went to one knee like Vader in front of the emperor and said, "Lord North! What is thy bidding my masta?" And he said, "Get up you fucking retard." Then laughed and shook my hand and asked how I was doing.

And I have said this before, but I met Shia Labeouf and Brad Pitt when they were training with our Battalion during Annual Training outside of Boise. Shia was in my Combat Lifesaver Course. And Im telling my Squad leader how, "That douche looks just like that kid from Transformers." He can hear this. So next the Sergeant Major asks if anyone wants to volunteer to put in a Oropharyngeal Airway, he does and as he is walking to the front of classroom I say, "Hey Specialist, you left Transformers for this shit?" He smiled then the Sergeant Major told everyone who just pulled out their phones that if clips of this end up on Youtube he will Article 15 us. I was like, wtf? Who cares about seeing some joe get a OA put in? So then when he is coming back I see his name-tape says Labeouf on it. Im like...shit. Maybe he is like a 3rd cousin or something and I am telling my squad leader he really does look like him, so he tells me to get his autograph. I go out there on our cigarette break and say hey, fucking autograph this for me. He gives me a quizzical look and is like, uh, ok. And autographs it. So if by now you don't realize how much of a retard I am, I go around the corner and say to this other Sergeant, "Dude I think that really might be Shia Labeouf." He said, "it IS him, you fucking retard." So I was like ohhhh shit. So me and my squad leader go and apologize to him, I make him give me a cigarette, then we smoked and joked the entire rest of the time he was there for the 2 weeks. Got his phone number still.
 
I generally don't approach celebrities, I don't want to be that guy

having said that:

When I lived in Singapore, I knew a few of the MtV Asia VJays who all bought coffee at the coffee shop down in the main area of the building i frequented for lunch - all my friends worked at those shops so I inevitably ended up chatting with a few of them. Mike Kassem (Casey Kassem's son) was a Vjay back then. Another Indo/Aussie/Eurasian guy as well, named Jamie.

On a flight from Denmark to Rome, I sat next to Michael Laudrup and his son back about a year after he retired from international football. He didn't seem interested in talking to anyone.

Met Sven Ole Thoresen at the US Embassy in Copenhagen - he's a big fucker - Said 'those about to die, we salute you.' and he smiled and said 'God Bless' - seemed like he was in a rush

Flew with Dan Crenshaw on a flight back in January from NY to Houston - I just acknowledged him 'Congressman.' and saluted - He was on his phone but he smiled and said 'Hi there.' He was traveling with his wife so didn't want to bother him.

Met Tito Ortiz at Houston's first closed fist MMA even back in 2005 - Took a picture only because I bought a shirt - Super cool guy and took time to talk to everyone and take pictures.

I told this story a few weeks ago but before I was married I was seeing this black chick who was a 24 hours fitness instructress - smokin hot - anyway, we were walking into a boxing even here in Houston and ran into Booker T - he was on the way out. He looked at her, then at me, then at her, then back to me and said 'My N*gg*'

On a flight from Cape Town to Johannesburg, sat across from Gary Bailey - he seemed super busy but acknowledged my 'Gary' and my salute.

Trained with Ruan Potts - ex EFC HW Champ and ex UFC Fighter - think his debut was against Black Beast - got mauled lol - super cool guy though

Trained with Don Madge - also ex EFC Champ - has fought in the undercard back in October I think and won - not sure if he is fighting again.

Oh yeah, met Sammy Sosa in Florida back in 2005 as well, when he was still black. Dude was TINY - I'm 6' tall and though he was wide as fuck, he was short. no more than 5'9 or 5'10

Oh and I've hung out with @Cajun a bit - went hunting with him and didn't get shot either.
 
Ive met everybody, really didnt give a fuck about all of them though.
A.H. Seemed like a nice dude.
 
@Fonx

The story is below. You can skip this first paragraph which I need to write to qualify my story. I never went to church and was terrified of living for God. My older brother went to the east coast for college and he became born again in 1992 and he would preach to me on the phone. He told me he had his entire church praying for me and on one visit in 1994 I even met his pastor and went to a service. 1994 was a very difficult year and after months of godly sorrow I became a born again believer during the summer. God immediately began speaking to me and I could feel his power in my life. But the truth was I was terrified of serving a Holy God. I knew I needed Jesus but trying to live for a Holy God just freaked me out. I didn’t think I could do it so I gave up. I turned to drugs and eventually witchcraft. I practiced witchcraft from August 1994 to January 1996. God was merciful to me during this time because I wasn’t practicing witchcraft for fleshly reasons. He brought me through even though I live with some repercussions to this day.

I contacted Billy (who was a witch) via pager summer of 1995. He came over and I smoked him out with some great weed. He told me he was working security on Saturday for a house party. I knew this guy his name was Justin and he sold enormous amounts of weed. He was from Northern Cali and had great connections. But I didn’t like the guy because I was friends with his girlfriend and he was insecure over that. Trust me this part matters.

So I agree to work with Billy and we show up and there is this other cat working security with us. This guy was an older dude and a goofball. I knew if anything went down he was useless. We already had some weed on us but we were getting paid in weed and about an hour after we showed me and Billy asked Justin for our weed upfront. He said his entire crew was coming from up north and they would be here later. Party was in Malibu during the summer and it actually was a good party.

Justin’s crew shows up and it’s like 12 guys. These guys are mad dogging me the entire night and I ask Billy if they are mad dogging him and he’s like, “no, but I see it.”

I get a bad feeling and so I tell Billy let’s go to Justin and ask for our weed now that his crew arrived. I wanted to feel him out because I thought I had a good read on his character. Just as I suspected, after we asked for our weed, Justin responded in a passive way and told us we were about to get what was coming to us and he was looking right at me.

Me and Billy walked away and I told Billy we needed to leave because we were about to get jumped. Billy told me we weren’t leaving. I asked Billy if Justin specifically asked for me to be there. He told me yes, Justin personally asked for me. I said… “WTF. Can’t you see what’s happening here? That POS set this up. He’s butthurt his girl wants me.” Billy just stood strong and said, “You worry too much.”

I’m like, “dude… 4 or 5 guys maybe but 12?”

He’s like, shrugs his shoulders.

I was pissed. Billy was a powerful witch but I wasn’t playing this. I was mad and scared and I could tell Billy was scared but he had a confidence about him. The night went on.

Justin’s girl (Who is also my friend) came up to me and asked if I had any weed because Justin wasn’t giving her any. I’m like to myself, “That dude is such an asshat.” So I take out the weed me and Billy had and I just hand it to her. I guess this was the last straw because about 20 minutes after than Justin approaches me and Billy and has like one nugget of the weed I gave his girl and he comments on how good the weed is and that I get great stuff where I’m from. The guy was very passive aggressive and I tended to ignore him.

So Billy and I continued to circle the house in the pattern we were shown in the beginning. We would circle the house once every 5 minutes to make sure nothing was getting stolen or anything bad. That’s where it got bad.

Billy and I circle around the kitchen area and when we attempt to go outside all 12 guys were blocking the doors outside. I looked at Billy like it’s about to go down. Billy just stood tall and never even looked at me. The biggest guy walks forward as a challenge to me and every one of them is looking at me, not Billy. I hear Billy reassure me we’ll be fine. I had enough at this point.

I began to perform my breathing rituals (heavy breathing with chants) and because there was danger in the area I began to summon demons from the earth. Billy immediately asked, “Why are you doing that?” But I ignored him because I was done at that point. I summoned for about 25 seconds and I could tell the faces of everyone but the big guy were changing. He was kind of getting off watching me. After I finished I looked him square in the eyes and said, “Apologize.”

He kind of shook his head like no and I said again, “I would apologize if I were you!”

He looked around. He then looked at me and asked why?

I told him, “we’re at that point, you have to apologize.”

The reason he had to apologize is it is not healthy for a vessel (my human body) to hold all those demons. It can actually mess you up. I didn’t trust him or his crew. His pride needed to break before I would surrender those demons back to the earth. Had I surrendered them early he just would have attacked me afterward.

I had enough, I began walking forward and he immediately apologized. I surrendered the demons to the earth and walked away.

About five minutes later Billy walked up to me and looked me right in the eye. He said, “You worry too much… and why’d you give away our weed?”

Justin that pussy never gave us our weed. He paid us in cash.

I only summoned because I felt my life was in danger. Billy and I talked about it one or two times afterward and both times Billy told me I shouldn’t have done what I did. Billy knew what he was talking about. Word spread and I got a reputation afterwards and many people wanted to meet me. Billy never said it directly but he inferred I didn’t need to do what I did (summon) and that we were going to be okay regardless. He told me I went overboard and basically I made a rookie mistake.

Looking back I think I was just going to fight the one big dude. IDK. Some things have no clarification.
Jesus that entire thing sounded dumb as fuck

Oh and I've hung out with @Cajun a bit - went hunting with him and didn't get shot either.

Why you gotta mention the failed hunting trip. Our southern deer can smell those nordic genes imo..
 
GSP - Super nice. Very empathetic. Maybe too nice for the sport.

Dean Lister - Simple minded and always bragging about himself. ALWAYS.

Marcelo - Super cool. Very chill.

Gustafsson - Always a nice dude. Ordinary guy.

Forrest Griffin - Mixed feelings. Met him briefly. Seemed a bit erate but maybe just a bad day.
