Buncha Dallas Cowboys at various bars, Frank Summerall at a private bar called Nostromo. 

Funniest was i was standing next to a middle aged black man at the urinal back in the 80's at a restaurant/bar on Greenville Ave in Dallas.  I recognized him immediately  but my drunk buddy yells out "Hey!  It's Crazy Ray!"  (mascot guy who used to wear cowboy gear on the sidelines for those that don't know).  Guy next to me gets pissed and says "Crazy Ray my ass!"  then leaves.  Dude was Mel Renfro...lmao

I urinated next to Lyndon Johnson at the 1973 Cotton Bowl when I was a kid. He stood beside me at one of the troughs. As I was leaving the restroom, my Dad said to me excitedly, "Do you know who that was?" When I told him I had no idea, he almost seemed upset with me. "Didn't you notice all the secret service guys standing around?" he asked. He had to explain to me what the secret service was.

LBJ was already very sick by then. He died less than a month later. He must have been a big Longhorns fan to put himself through the physical stress of attending a football game. I'm glad he walked out of the stadium a happy man that day.

Walter Cronkite, Etter-Harbin Alumni Center (In that trademark voice, he proclaimed to me, "Never get into a fully fueled car with a fully fueled bladder.")

Phil actually blew off a hot young thing to talk guitar with me.

Thinking some of yous don’t understand “semi-celebrity”, pretty sure that’s what Todd Bridges or Barry Williams are, NOT TLJ, DKR.

Steve Earle, Nashville

Daniel Johnston, Austin

Oliver Sacks, New York

I've never heard of any of these people. "Semi" might be a bit of a stretch.

You know, he called games with Pat Gifford.

It's cool if you were a young meat gazer, you can tell us, trust tree and all.  So was the extra room he asked for in his trousers necessary?

Do you hate the Apple commercial they are playing during the World Cup of what sounds like a 90 year old woman singing?

Actually, now that I've read their Wiki pages, they are perfect candidates for this thread.  Carry on.
