I bow to your greatness!
hahahaha! is that toons website you are linking too?
Yes, I did. I watched him for about 45 minutes (well I am the bubba).
He was filming the opening for a kids show.
And
this pains me as a Star Trek fan
he appeared to be a jerk
Don Knotts was very nice. I met (as in sold him a ticket, not exactly a huge meeting) him twice.
Being the same age as Opie, I never understood Barney Fife…I saw he was an idiot, why didn’t the grownups?
I felt so bad about not liking him as Barney after I met him.
He liked where I worked. More than one of us sold him a ticket (OK, lets be honest, anyone who was at all famous that was polite to us always got to go for free…David Letterman is also very nice).
We all liked him.
I once shook hands with Olivia Newton-John as a kid. (I was a kid, that is.)
Can’t find the right word, so I’m taking my post and leaving.
I am quite pervious. Porous, even.
You can probably make a good guess at a future ID… if I ever get another one, that is.

I know you don’t want to believe it, Fen but he’s just a…err…umm…regular person.
I once listened to John Waters speak about his crush on Don Knotts.
It was a narcissistic thing. I also got his autograph for a friend (John’s not Don’s)
Exactly, you wouldn’t know who he was.
wow… didja play poker with him? he seems like a very down-to-earth guy
this is kind of turning into a celebrities thing. of those: i saw the balding canadian from Who’s Line is it Anywa who is now the Snack Fairy in tv commercials at the Plaza Hotel in New York. i also ate at a restaurant in Prague where The Rock was seated at the next table. I’ve also met Robin Lustig of the BBC.
now an encounter with near greatness: aside from the smaller name/local bands I’ve encountered with my burgeoning radio career (the drummer for SNMNMNM, bombadil, sleepsound, lost in the trees, and drunk stuntmen), i once met an older guy, probably in his 60s, who ended up talking to me about his attempts to break into songwriting for country music while i ate lunch one day. he hadn’t had a whole lot of success, but he kept on trying and kept on writing. i don’t remember his name, but he seemed like a really nice i guy and i hope he’s still tryin’ today.
Sometimes I talk to terrybatey on the internet.
TB once pm’d me!
Does working on the staging and production side of TV commercials with Hugh Downs count as an encounter with near greatness?
no…too great. Andy Rooney though…
Oh.
//settles for association with greatness.
This refs one of the commercials I was hired for to drive one of the test cars back to Phoenix from L.A.; First sentence, second paragraph . . .
Did you get better or worse gas mileage?
