And did a damn fine job of it, by the by.
OK, a couple more:
Volunteered to help with security when Al Gore spoke at UN-Reno when he was V.P. (I was and still am a long-haired hippy type). After the speech, we volunteers lined up and shook his hand. He, unlike some presidents, has very hot daughters.
Got married by a friend in Anchorage, Alaska. As Reveal mentioned, it's fully legal, you can have anyone authorized to perform your wedding there. It was Jan 1st 2000, and the fireworks for New Years froze so they wouldnt go off. There were 5 of us (me, my bride, two witnesses, and my friend who we nick-nAmed 'Rabbi' after the event). We were all on 'cid. It was quite a night.

I thought of one more celebrity I've met: When I was a truck driver for one summer, I helped block traffic for a limo to pull onto the road. The back window rolled down and LaToya Jackson blew me a kiss, smiled and waved.
I also forgot to add: I have had my name appear in Dungeon. I have also been knighted and been the guest of honor at Medeival Times (got in for free, got to sit in the winning knight's section, etc.).
Also, I have done some interesting jobs: lifeguard, truck driver, stripper (no, not that kind of stripper... I stripped dirty linens, trash, etc. out of condos), bass guitarist/singer in a rock band, interviewer, marine electronics installer and teacher.
Oh, and one more silly one: I used to game with Bill Murray, but again, not THAT Bill Murray.

4. Played darts with Bret and Bobby Hull of NHL fame.
3. Involved in an all-out bar room brawl with the members of the 70's southern rock band Molly Hatchet.
2. Captain of my University's Football* team.

*Tackle or American football.

hmmmmmmmm
1) had lunch with Bill Walton, Byron Scott, Charles Barkley, and Magic Johnson at the same time.
2) had Byron Scott and his family over for many of my birthday parties.
3) went to watch the Tyson / Holyfield fight at Bill Waltons house, and played basketball with Luke Walton while there.
4) almost rode my bike off the cliff next to the Golden Gate Bridge.
5) floated down the Wypio (spelling is wrong) valley river in Hawaii for 2 hours, then climbed up a few waterfalls and explored behind them.

1) Saw Raiders of the Ark 15 times in the theatre (we went every week to see something and most of the other movies playing were rated R)
2) Played Hooky from school to see Return of the Jedi on opening day. Got caught because of the other kids who went got caught and ratted us all out to avoid suspension. Instead we lost recess priveliges for the rest of the year (like a month)
3) Created poison gas in my chemistry class despite (in fact probably because of) the note at the end of the lab work sheet that said "as with all expeiments, dispose of each chemical properly and seperately. I had detension for 2 months and I spent each and every one of those detensions washing the blackboad filling it with the chemical equasion for the gas I made, and then washing the blackboad again.
4) Ran naked from university police who were all clearly doing the "I don't want to tackle the naked guy" run.
5) Lost 75 pounds in the last year (well, maybe someone else has done it, but I'm still excited about it)

I love this thread.
In no particular order:
1. Flown in an actual WWI era biplane during an aerobatics routine. The plane was not a reproduction, although it was obviously well maintained. The pilot looked old enough to have purchased it new. Better than any rollercoaster on the planet.
2. Spent every weekend of one summer throwing parties at Jefferson Rock in Harper's Ferry, WV - a national park. The next summer we learned, to our great dismay, that the cop we had befriended (and who consequently 'overlooked' our bon-fire ragers) had been fired. We learned it the hard way, by nearly being busted the first weekend of that next summer. Fortunately the cops never learned to turn off their flashlights when coming up the hill.
3. The first time I met George Takei, he introduced himself to us. I believe that it was due to my buddy and I being the only two attendees who didn't mob him as soon as he came offstage. We were just standing and waiting for the room to clear so we could leave, when all of a sudden he pops out of the crowd in the isle and walks down our row, extending his hand. "Hi, I'm George Takei." Maybe he didn't want us to feel left out, maybe he was 'rewarding' us for not leaping in his face like everyone else, or maybe he was just trying to escape the throng and we were a convenient excuse to leave the isle. Any way, it was totally unexpected and very cool.
4. Woodstock 94 and 99. 'Nuff said.
5. Saw Star Wars during it's original theatrical run, in Germany, in a German theater, in English. The movie started an hour late, and the previews for Close Encounters were in German, nearly causing a riot until the theater manager leapt up front assured everyone that only the previews were in German.
