Oh, and Sandra Day O'Connor came for a tour once.  Is that a celebrity?

But mostly the celebrities just want to see the damn pandas.


Only inside the beltway.

I think we were purposely given a panda whose name can't really be spelled or prounced in english just to mess with us.

And the whole Roy thing reminds me, is Taj still alive? Is it true they can't breed him?

I know I should know this, but I do a very bad job of keeping track of the celebrity animals in other units...(just a little more small mammal resentment there. Nobody loves us.)  He is or was the white tiger?  They don't breed them because they aren't natural or something.

Are there any small mammals non-celebrities are allowed to touch? Because that would totally push you past the reptiles.

Actually, my eight-month-old daughter has better celebrity run-ins than I do.   Loretta Swit from M.A.S.H. was on line behind us at the store and was all googly over her, as was the female doctor from E.R. ( Laura Innes? ) when she sat next to us at Louise's.  And my wife told me there was a Sally Struthers run-in as well.  Too bad she's not on a show whose title is an abbreviation for something else.

Other than that, not much to report.  Rip Torn yelled at me over the phone once; I hung out at Andy Dick's house while a friend pitched him a movie idea; many years earlier, Paul Westerberg told me that their next album was going to be called Tim and I had no idea how to respond to that.  

Oh, and when I was in Our Town in high school, Mira Sorvino played Mrs. Webb.  

Nothing else leaps to mind.

Yes, if they are my friends, and they wash their hands afterwards.

Did you threaten to kill him? Maybe it's just me who utterly hates him.

And, wow, despite the age difference I'm in about 17 shades of love with Mira Sorvino.

Ooh, ooh, I just thought of one.  I just read Hunter Thompson's latest book, and in it he talks about growing up in Louisville.  Imagine my surprise when I read that he dated my cousin when they were both in high school.

I have a few celebrity stories, but it's probably better I don't mention them in a public forum.

Most of the people I've met are writers - and there was a particular writer of legal thrillers that a friend and I took to a strip club.  For a millionaire, he was very stingy with the tips to the girls.  I'm just saying.

My ex girlfriend works in TV over here in London, so I've met quite a few British celebs socially, but by far my most starstruck occasion was meeting and interviewing Anthrax for the fanclub back in 1995. I was well in with the guy who ran the fanclub (a job he later offered me) and so I just got handed access all areas passes and chilled with them before and after their  show. Interviewed John Bush for Kerrang! and then sat and chatted to the others after the show. Scott Ian is just the coolest, most down to earth bloke and so talented it hurts. Nice guys.

OK, anyone who wants in on the Acheheads tour of the Small Mammal house, PM me and I'll see what I can do.

Oh, when I flew back from London George Lucas, his daughter, and her friends bought all of first class. There weren't that many of them, they just bought a lot of empty seats to keep it private.

I swear on a stack of bibles that I've met Thomas Pynchon, J.D. Salinger ,and that guy who stole that money and jumped out of that plane that the money was in.
