I also ran into Pokey Reece at the Meijer in Florence. I was looking at magazines and he walks up and starts looking through SLAM Magazine. And I said "Hey are you Pokey Reese?" And he said "Yeah you want my autograph or something?" And I said "Nope. just wondering." He was NOT pleased as he had already pulled HIS OWN Sharpie from his jeans.

 

That is just hilarious. :lol:

 

I still miss it when George Grande would say "heeere's Pokey" :cry:

Has to be you. Because I don't live up there! :D:D:D

 

 

He said "local celeb".:irked:

 

But I've got someone in mind and I bet I'm right.

Sent you a PM.

Considering my age I think I've met a good amount of athletes and a few celebrities, but there is one that I'll never forget. My ultimate brush with greatness, talent, and beauty happened this summer when I met Taylor Swift. That was the first step on getting her to marry me. Next step is getting her number. After that it'll be a piece of cake.

After that it'll be a piece of cake.

Not if you look, dress, or act anything like your avatar. :lol:

Fair enough, but his sense of humor definately wouldn't hurt. Or his money.

I used to live across the street from covcathftball. That is the closest to greatness I have ever been.

As a child I once rode in the elevator at the Owensboro Executive Inn with Colonel Sanders. I've meet Rex Chapman, and have done numerous things with Brad Wilkerson. I worked as a waitor while in college at Raffertys in Evansville, and got to serve Mr. Wildcat, Vince Gill, and Bruce Peral would bring the entire team in about once a week during the season.

You've met Jerry Clower? I bet that was awesome!

I sit beside of him on an airplane. He was polite and quite the gentleman. However I will have to say that Mr May was the most awesome for me;).

Charles Barkley in the locker room at the Hoosierdome when Dr. J played his last game there. That night also included Mo Cheeks, Andrew Toney, and the incomprable World B. Free. It was a great night, including patting Dr. J on the back and telling him he had a nice game. I also played Basketball against Dave Justice and met him again the year he won Rookie of the year. We talked about the game we had played in because he remembered playing us in a Christmas tournament. Later that year at the first game of the world series he was setting in front of me turned around and saw me and said hey redcross how are you doing.
