I loved Beanie and Cecil cartoons particularly for the puns and such. Fun stuff.

Before Rocky and Bullwinkle the good puns were on Crusader Rabbit.

:) That's kind of funny Pam. Too bad you didn't get a part in that movie though. You might have if you had gone with them.

Approaching Lavendar, how about that?!

Finally back to my own topic. ;) I am seriously envious of all the people you folks have met.

Makes my list look pretty puny. LOL! Pretty cool though. :cool:

Samuel l.jackson.
sat beside him at a montreal-toronto hockey game in montreal right behind the habs bench.
nice man.
i offered to get him a beer so he wouldn't have to be accosted by fans wanting autographs and pics at the beer concession and miss the game. he was fine with the beer he had but thanked me anyway. folks had been coming down to our row and asking for autographs but an usher stopped them after a short time. that's why i offered up a beer.

Re: Besides Gordon,other acts (even actors) you've met in person.
 

I bet he appreciated your offer, Char. That would be such a pain to be famous and not be able to get a beer without people bugging you.
I always like his movies :)

Hey RM,I just bought 3 Marty Robbins albums the other day at a Vinyl Record Show. :)

Have all of his hits now. Did you wait on Mr. Robbins here in AZ or elsewhere?

He's origianlly from the smaller town (area) of Glendale here in Phoenix.

Re: Besides Gordon,other acts (even actors) you've met in person.
 

It was in Flagstaff, AZ......I was waiting tables at a Holiday Inn while attending NAU.

I'd forgotten that he was from Glendale.

Hi, on Saturday before Gord's Town Hall performance, MandoAnn and I were walking down 43rd Street for the 12th time trying to scope out where Town Hall was exactly (this seemed to baffle THREE taxi drivers, but to their credit, lots of streets had been blocked off due to a protest - we don't about what because the protesters were sitting in the street on lawn chairs watching the Jumbotron. Anyway, I saw about ten feet in front of me Samuel J. Jackson (he was wearing his traditional Kanga hat); he laughed appreciatively when I said I enjoyed his movies - remembered hearing earlier that New Yorkers don't like to acknowledge celebrities so they pretend not to know them and ask for directions or something - any New Yorkers out there want to protest that? Sorry! It WAS ON TV so it MUST BE TRUE! :biggrin: SherylKat
