Does drinking heavily with Mats Sundin count?

- Overcame my OCD without taking medications.
- Got a score of 100 in a Moral Philosophy exam in college.
- Called 9-1-1 for no reason when I was a child and then the police came home.
- I stuck 99 strings into the hole of an average sewing needle.
- Almost drowned in a pond in Bangladesh and then my grandfather had to rescue me from the water.

Those are some of mines even though they're hardly anything famous. My greater contentment, however, is in living a life without wanting any "claims to fame." Angel

Faith can hurt the wrong way.

I had a conversation with Camilla-Parker Windsor (nee Bowles) when she visited my workplace.
We were all lined up and had the typical royal 'what do you do' questions.
She is no respecter of personal space, she was about an inch away from me!

(Only the Brits will know who they are I'm guessing.)

I was on a game show on MTV called 'fist of zen' a couple of years ago.

Ummmm, I've met Steve-o (from jackass) on the London underground.

I had pizza with the band "Men at work" after a gig when I was 16.

Mind you, this WELL before they were famous, there were 6 people at the gig.

I met Barry Sheene at the classic bike day in Phillip Island in (I think) 1998 and he signed my T-shirt which my ex wife then washed for me.

And I met Terry Pratchett at a book signing in Perth about 6 years ago.

That's about the extent of my brushes with fame.
