not even there believe me. When I look at what others have done I haven't shit in comparison. I tell you guys of the stuff I have done cause I figure it fits into the thread somehow. It sounds a whole lot more than it really is. I think I have done some pretty neat things that not many can say they have done but I don't even come close to what some of my other friends have done. But, I do admit some of the stuff I have done is pretty fucking cool and this whole night with Ali and LaMotta is definitely something I love to brag about cause it really was one of the most memorable times I have ever had in my life. I just wish the past 10 years wasn't so boring and shitty or I would have more up to date stories.
I have a friend who was security for a casino out in Vegas in the 70's. He guarded the penthouse floor for some of his time. He has a lot of stories about the big names of the time, with pictures of him with enough big names to lend support to his stories. He tells the stories not so much in the way that HE is special for having hung out with them, but that he was in awe of the fact he got to hang out with them. One of his favorite memories was playing pinball all night with Dean Martin.
I am always up to hear peoples "brush with fame" stories as long as it doesn't cross over the obnoxious name dropping bragger line that some tend to cross. I don't get that vibe at all from anyone here.
