Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

I surfed with David Beckham in Malibu one time, sort of. He was paddling out, I was out, I said "what's up Becks", he gave me a what's up nod and then proceeded to ignore me for the rest of the morning. :plus1:

I hung out a bit for a couple of days with Timothy Leary - picked him up and dropped him off at the airport; and we drank together one afternoon and the next evening.
You could be next.

Lamest "celebrity" encounters ever, I know.

Working as a janitor after classes at my University sports arena to help pay tuition at age 18. Between sports seasons they rented the place out for concerts. I worked backstage at many concerts. During one event I turned a corner near the changing rooms while drooling over some of MC Hammer's barely-dressed dancer girls walking backstage and literally bumped into some skinny little pale prick with a stupid haircut and bad sparkly clothes. Sent him flying, and he gave me some attitude. No idea who the hell he was until days later. Hadn't remotely heard Ice Ice Baby then. It was Vanilla Ice.

Same job weeks later, former Eagle Don Henley stopped his pre-concert soundcheck to scream at me for making noise. He was playing that "kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down" song. I was wiping down those cheap metal folding chairs on the main floor when I noticed one of them was completely smashed and unusable. Whoever installed it didn't give a fuck and left it. It was only like 10 minutes until they were to open the doors and start letting the ticket holders in the building so I didn't think it could wait. I attempted to remove that one busted chair to replace it with another one. But each chair locks into the adjacent chairs on each side, and this one was bent so bad it wouldn't come loose easily so I gave it a good shake and it came loose quick with a loud crash which I never anticipated. Pissed Don of to no end. I still hate that fucking annoying song.
