Sure.

Anyone who wants to do variations on this, feel free.

Oh my, this got long!

I was following along for a while, but couldn't think of anything interesting, and then two things came up in conversation last night, so I went and found this. Here we go:

1.) George W. Bush (yes that one) has been to my house.
2.) As I was walking along State Street (in Madison), Rod Stewart stuck his head out of his limo and tried to pick me up.
3.) I have starred in a commercial.
4.) I have walked a 6-inch plank all the way over the Mississippi river (at its widest, not a trick about the headwaters.)

I guess #3. I do think you were on a commercial, but were not the star.

Well gee! With that spread I can't keep up the suspense long.

Visitor's right. (Though that did happen to my friend -- she went, I wouldn't have. And I wouldn't have let her if I was with her. Rod Stewart is a jerk.)

I starred! It was just me. So it was for a local PBS station, but still, just me. (I had to do this rotating with the camera and timing it just right thing that was waay complicated.) That's my 15 minutes of fame. Was recognized all over Madison. ("Hey, you're that girl...")

#1 was misleading. He has been within 10 feet of my front walk, and he waved to me (I glared back stonily), but it was a parade.

#4 is totally true. Walked the catwalk (for construction workers, under the proper bridge) in a fit of blazing stupidity. Nothing bad happened, but SO could've.

Sticking his head out of his limo to pick up girls seems sooo Rod Stewart, that I thought your #2 had to be true.

I KNEW it!
Fake celebrity tie-in strikes again!

Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Personally, I would rather have been in limo with Rod than walking over Mississippi River, but just barely.

Bumping up--in hopes newbies (or oldies with more material) will thrill us with their cool facts, celebrity encounters and believable lies.
