Garth Brooks once grabbed me-- around the shoulders. I almost kneed his googly bits. I had no clue who he was at the time. Thank goodness the person with me knew.

ok, don't know that second guy is, but Michael Palin! Now there's another of my huge teenage crushes... ooooh

i know just how you feel. not that it has anything to do with my desktop, which is just a medium blue colour, since i never can actually see it so there's no point in putting a picture there.

Must admit I like the challenge though...
Screaming, "BUGGER OFF, YOU SON OF A WHORE!!!!" at them doesn't seem to work?

on the celeb bit, I've run into a few in airports and other odd places... but the most disturbing one was going to a Search and Rescue academy for dog handlers, specifically dog handlers of Newfies, and Jim Nabors had sent his dog to the academy with a handler that he paid to go. he was at the graduation ceremony with his "partner". up close he was an incredibly physically ugly man
