Oh for sure! I feel like if you say the wrong thing to him he would go off on a rant!

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

This won't be appreciated by the younger crowd but at least HelpMe will get a laugh. In the early 80's my grandfather was at a movie premier and waited in line tongetbin first. When he entered the theater he screamed out to his kids let's go sit behind that short guy who was already in the theater. He freaked out when he sat down and the Fonz turned around.

Plaxico Burress at the airport in Miami fresh out of jail. Interviewed Chuck Hagel for an elementary school project way back. Contacted his people and he invited me to Washington to meet with him.

Has anyone here met a politician and been very impressed by him/her?

I've met quite a few and the only ones that I've found interesting were Benjamin Netanyahu and the late Sen. Daniel Inouye. Corey Booker was pretty cool as well. Most of the other either seemed stupid or were really boring

Ages ago when I was working on 57th Street in Manhatten the Fonz was filming downstairs. Our secretary got to talking with him and there was no way to get another stitch of work out of her for the rest of the day.
