Awesome. What she was trying to tell you is you've been having Mark McGwire's sloppy seconds all these years.

Big Mac lives in Shady Canyon, right off the Sand Canyon/Shady Canyon offramp off the 405. he drives a pickup truck around. We have seen him several times at Albertson's, but have never spoken to him.

That is about all I know. If I ever see him having sex with your ex, I will let you know.

Leonardo DiCaprio: My company has produced several of his New Years Eves bashes; real nice guy.

Will Ferrell: He's a regular @ SC's practices, pretty decent fellow.

Pennywise: I went to school with their lead singer.

Snoop Dogg: Another SC practice regular.

Arnold the Governator

Reggie Bush/Matt Leinart: Teammates of my brother. Reggie is a favorite of my 7 year old; he always went out of his way to say hi to my son when he would see him at practice. Leinart was cool as well.

Ronnie Lott

George Lucas: Met him at the last Rose Bowl.

Royce Gracie: Lives across the street from us.

If you can convince him to marry her, relieving me of my support obligations, I'd kiss your feet.

I would tell you the incredinly famous people I hang out with but then they wouldn't let me hang out with them but I assure you you would all be VERY impressed as they are incredible.

Here is my list:

1) Steve Young: He was friends with my dad, gave us a few tickets to 49ers games and signed a bunch of stuff for me. One of the highlights of my childhood was answering the phone when a man asked for my dad. When I asked him who it was, and it was Steve Young, I about crapped my pants.

2) Boyd K Packer: SLC Temple at about 14 doing baptisms for the dead. I felt awful because I knew he was an apostle, but I couldn't remember which one.

3) L. Tom Perry: I sat next to him at a Jazz game right after getting home from my mission. My dad embarrassed me by telling him "Good, now hopefully my son will watch his language" right before tip-off.

4) Kevin Garnett & Christian Laetner: I saw them at Crossroads plaza during Garnett's rookie year with the Timberwolves. I asked Garnett for his autograph and he told me know. Being 14 or so, I asked him if he wouldn't sign it since he didn't know how mot going to college and all. I don't think I helped my cause after that.

5) Lavell Edwards/Gary Crowton/Bronco Mendenhall, as well as about any other current BYU coach.

6) I saw Mark Eaton skiing once at Snowbasin. It really is odd watching a 7'3" guy come down the slopes.

7) During the Rockets series last year in the playoffs I saw Memo hanging out at the Gateway with his parents or In-Laws. I told him to keep shooting and they would start dropping and he gave me the head nod and fist bump.

8) As 15 year old scouts we were rafting on the Snake River outside of Jackson Hole when they made us (and all other rafters) clear off the river for 2 hours. We watched then President Clinton go down Tabletop Rapids. Being 15 we discussed mooning him (how many times do you have the chance to moon a President?) however we were slightly worried about the secret service putting a couple of rounds in our asses, so we decided against it.

My family has quite a few good ones as well:
*My dad was in an elevator with Steve Jobs while he was firing somebody working at Apple.
*My dad chatted up Alice Cooper in the Phoenix airport while Alice waited for his wife to come pick him up in their mini-van.
*My cousin has had lunch with Warren Buffett.

None too spectacular, but a decent list.

That is awesome... I don't believe he ever lost a match? Am I correct? I believe he had to opt of some tournaments due to injury

Your list is awesome. Ronnie Lott would be a favorite of mine. I wore #42 my Sophomore year in HS because of him, and had a Senior not taken it my Junior year, I would have picked it up again.

Snoop Dogg and Will Farrell would be awesome to meet as well.
