Rulon Gardner (the Wyoming Wrestler who won Gold in wrestling a couple Olympics ago) spoke at my junior high when I was there.

My uncle (sadly, not me) met Torrie Wilson in Boise a couple times when he went up there to visit some friends.

One of my mom's ex-boyfriends (I was maybe 6-7 at the time) worked out at the same gym as Lex Luger.

I got to swim for a few days one summer with mark Spitz.

I went to the same high school as Lisa Marie Presley, General H.H. Arnold in Wiesbaden Germany. (years later however) The Principal at the high school I graduated from was Mr. McDonald, the father of actor Chris McDonald.

Natalie Lampard (older sister of Frank Lampard) wanted to go out with me, but she wore a brace and I didn't fancy her with a gob full of metal.

I went to the same madrasah as Richard Reid and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

I played hockey against Chris Pronger when I was younger. My teacher was Trevor Letowski's mother. I played golf with Taylor Pyatt. These are all hockey players that play(ed) in the NHL. One of my best friends growing up, his father played for the Flyers, Mike Busniuk.

I went to school with Roy Keane (ex manu captain) lived just down the road from me
Myself and lordhaha are friends with actor johnaton rhys meyers ( mission impossible 3)

Are you kidding me? I'd kill to meet her and make a pass on her, it's all i ask, i'm pretty confident i'll get at least a one night stand, since it's my #1 goal in life

I will consummately follow you in this quest. Please keep a blog.

don't expect much, I'm an underachiver

I know (well, knew, I've not seen him for about 4 years) Shaun Williamson, who played Barry Evans on East Enders. He's currently touring with a stage version of Porridge, playing Fletch. Shaun and I (and Mrs Curl and Mrs Shaun) were all in the same drama group ages back.

I've been bought a pint by Humphrey Littleton, and chatted with Roy Harper, and Lol Coxhill.
Oh, and when I was in Mensa I met various luminaries like Magnus Pyke and Isaac Asimov, Edward de Bono, and (of all people) Jimmy Saville. No, he wasn't a member.
I used to know Vince Clarke and the guys from Depeche Mode, and Alison Moyet - they're from the same town I grew up in.

My brother was at school with Douglas Adams and Noel Edmonds.

Naturally many people won't know who some of these guys are, especially if you're not a Brit.

Now THAT was truly impressive! (lol)

Just found out one of my high school friends won $200,000+ in a WPT poker tournament. Not incredibly famous but still pretty awesome!

Nobody I went to school with has had the chance to become famous...

I did go to school with a NCAA quarterback who is just shy of the all-time NCAA touchdown record (or even passed it, according to some sites). And I was in a jazz ensemble with a kid who was lead trumpet in the Grammy HS Jazz Ensemble last year. So yeah...

I went to primary school with nikki webster (sung at opening ceremony of sydney olympics)
I went to high school with a few afl players.
