| My family is friends with some of the Saudi royal family, I played doom with prince bandar and general petreus (sp?) has tried to kick my dads ass when I was in the room :p. (I come from a long line of smartasses). And I met sting when I was a kid and told him I really liked his face paint, and I asked him all about wrestling (but, I was talking to the singer.) |

I'm distantly related to James Watt, the inventor of the modern steam engine.
Don't know many famous people, but I once served Nick Cave a pint of Stella in a London pub. |

Related to Edgar Allen Poe. My great-aunt was kind of a hero in Holland after WWII and became friends with the Queen.
Met Nelson Mandela once.
Don't think there's anything else whom I've personally met. Family members of mine have met a lot of famous people, but I think that's my limit. |

Fixed. Why be arrested for something your cats can do for you? Kevin is a smart republican, after all :D |

haha... forgot to mention this one. my dad and I did some business with the Prince of Malaysia (Tunku Naquiyuddin) for a couple of years. He was a pretty cool guy. My dad was staying in Malaysia 10 months out of the year for those 2 years, and was given a ridiculous condo to live in right across from the Petronas twin towers, and a car and driver with royal plates that let him park anywhere. When I was over there it was hilarious... we'd roll up to a restaurant on a Friday night in the busiest section of downtown where you can't buy a parking space. Whoever happened to be parked right in front of the place would scurry out like little cockroaches and move their vehicle so we could take the space. Then when a group of white people got out of the car the people would be looking at is like, "what the !?"
Here he is with his wife:
This one includes his son and his son's wife, who we got to party with in their super secret entertainment room in their mansion... it was some James Bond type ; you push the top left corner of a 30 foot long mirror in their house and the wall opened up into this disco room with a dancefloor, full bar, leather sofas, incredible DJ booth setup, and flat screens all over the place. Since they are technically muslims, they gotta keep the alcohol hidden... haha. It's weird because his son is the future king of Malaysia and he was mixing me vodka-sodas from behind the bar. He went to Boston College so he's pretty Americanized, which was cool:
Here's my wife with the man himself in their new house... in case nobody believes me. lol
