What are the official rules for the separation game? Do you have to know the person well, just have met them, or just have talked to them (by phone, email, etc?).
If it's 'met' (and if we consider met to require you've at least had a conversation with the person face to face) then:
1. I know the former mayor of Beaumont, TX, (and, coincidentally, my brother saw the same mayor involved in a drug deal at a deserted factory in Beaumont; hey, he's the former mayor for a reason!)
2. . . . who has met with then-governer of Texas George W. Bush, . . .
(lots of potential there)
Or, heck:
1. I have visited NASA and flown on the KC-135 Vomit Comet, where I vomited,
2. . . . just like Kevin Bacon, who flew on the KC-135 to film the weightless scenes of Apollo 13.
Let's see, who else famous have I met?
1. I pissed off J. Michael Straczynski once by pretending in an email that I was Harlan Ellison. I later apologized, and he signed a copy of Rising Stars for me.
2. I accidentally kept Peter Adkison from answering his cel phone at GenCon while I was recording him. The camcorder picked up the sound of his phone, but I couldn't hear it over the convention noise.
3. Hell, I know Morrus. He's famous. And sexy.
4. I have a photo of me and Ben Stein, who visited my college and spoke. Ben Stein was a speech writer for Nixon, and knows a lot of celebrities.
5. My friend Hamid works at Cartoon Network on Adult Swim, and thus he knows all sorts of voice actors, animators, and so on.
6. I've gone to signings by Sean Astin, William Shatner, and Leonard Nimoy.
7. I 'playtested' a modular workbench NASA is using on the international space station. Hopefully I didn't get any vomit on it.
