My fervent hope is that these lists have helped you to pass an otherwise dreary day with a modicum of amusement, interest, or joie de vivre. In the comments, if you like, tell us what famous or semi-famous persons you have come into contact with, seen with your own eyes (not on television or film), breathed the same air as, as it were. You need not attempt to insert yourself into the line of succession to the British throne. We will not believe you. We were not born yesterday.
I resisted the temptation to comment in morse code. I've actually heard of 13 of those in list 1. I wonder whether numbers 6-10 in list 3 could ever happen even if called upon.
ReplyDeleteTasker Dunham, I may be mistaken, but I think you just slammed Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
DeleteI found your list of famous sightings more interesting than the royal lineage. I hadn't thought of Patrice Munsell in years.
ReplyDeleteEmma, I saw her in Naughty Marietta in Dallas, Texas, back in the 1950s. I can still hear her singing "Ah, Sweet Mystery Of Life, at last I've found you..."
DeleteList #1 is a big list. You've seen a lot of famous people. I have been to many rock concerts over the years as well as other types of shows and I honestly would not remember all the names. I have accidentally run into a few famous people too but only remember one or two names.
ReplyDeleteList #2 is a good list to know in case of an emergency I suppose. I never did learn it but I do know SOS!
List #3 is interesting to me as I am something of a Royal watcher. I might be able to list the first 20 but beyond that I would be lost.
Bonnie, hard as it may be to believe, I have never attended a rock concert. I know SOS too!: ... _ _ _ ...
DeleteShame you missed Number 60 from the third list or was it simply an act of peevishness?
ReplyDelete60 Lord Pudding of Yorkshire (b.1953 d.?)
Lord Pudding of Yorkshire, I must admit that you do bear an uncanny resemblance to Sophia, Electress of Hanover.
DeleteBeing a humble fellow, I have never previously alluded to this royal connection over in my blog but yes there is a familial link between me and Sophia through her grandson, King George II.
DeleteWell I can say with a degree of certainty of +/- 0 that I have not knowingly met any in List 1. I cannot speak Morse but I can speak the phonetic alphabet. I suspect that list 3 is of less interest to the average resident of the UK (especially Scotland and Wales) than it is to many Americans.
ReplyDeleteGraham, how Delta Romeo Oscar Lima Lima.
DeleteThose are some impressive lists! Who was your favorite famous person?
ReplyDeleteMy list would be much shorter, but I think Weird Al would be my favorite. Since we are Star Trek fans, I have seen William Shatner, and we have autographs from George Takei, Walter Koenig, John deLancie, Robert Picardo.
I have also seen Riders in the Sky perform. :D
Some voice actors:Tara Strong, Andrea Libman, Vic Micnogna,
and Lauren Faust.
Kathy, since it's all about me and not about any of them, I would say Dick Clark, because I was 17 and it was in Philadelphia and I was seen dancing on national television on American Bandstand by my friends back in Texas an I became the "celebrity du jour" when I saw them again. Or it might be Ludlow Porch, a local radio/TV celebrity here in Atlanta for many years that no one anywhere else has heard of. I don't know any of the voice actors you mentioned, but then I am woefully out of touch with the current scene.
DeleteOh how fun! Sounds like a wonderful experience. I wonder if we could find a clip of that tape somehow. Dick Clark seemed like a really nice person.
DeleteKathy, it lives on in my memory, tape or no. I think Dick Clark was about 28 at the time. He had the knack of making teenagers feel that their opinions were important.
DeleteSounds like a great memory!
ReplyDeleteThere are several clips on youtube, so perhaps yours is on there. I watched one from 1957 which was fun.
Kathy, that would be the right era. After school, teenagers did not go out looking for trouble in those days, they went home to watch Bandstand on their little 12-inch black-and-white television sets. Everybody knew the daily "regulars" like Kenny and Arlene, Bob and Justine, and so forth. When the program moved to California, went to a once-a-week-on-Saturday program, and was broadcast in color, it wasn't the same. It was too slick, too professionally produced, too "gone Hollywood" -- at leas for those who knew it in its original incarnation. The younger teens coming up later didn't know the difference. I could wax philosophical and say "and thus life remains the same to the current day"....
