No, I'm so good I made Spike *want* to sit in the back!

Did have to give CPR to his VIP Escort though. I used to think those guys in plaid were tough.

What happened? I thought after dealing with some of the worst of the worst SGs, they'd be able to handle anything that came their way. Unless there was something medical that was beyond the control of anybody...


Gawrsh, yah-huh!

He sort of hyperventilated when I told Spike and his family to sit "in the back".

That's a phrase we normally try to avoid, especially with "guests of color" as there are still parts of this country where such is required of them. Not a good choice of words on my part, but I had only seek Spike's wife, who's as white as I am. (Remember his film "Jungle Fever"?) So we all had a good laugh once we all recovered.

When I was at Disneyland, I remember that Kobe Bryant's young ones would love Finding Nemo, so they'd drop by the subs. Saw him twice when I was there.

When I was working Buzz Lightyear, I fast passed Gordon Ramsey who smiled and said thank you when he passed.

Creepiest was working Castle Front during Pyro, and Gary Busey was walking down the line, shaking the hand of EVERY GC CM there. Drove his plaid crazy, since he was holding up the walkway. Yeah, I shook hands with Gary Busey. The crazy never really comes off.

I swear, working at DLR I saw more "famous" people than I did when I worked in the actual industry.

One of the most memorable for me was having the chance to chat with Christopher Reeve and his wife while we were waiting for the Plaid People to sort something out. One of the sweetest was when Muhammad Ali was in our area - a friend and I were making our way off stage and knew he was nearby; we found ourselves some busy-work in an out-of-the-way spot and peered through the bushes to catch a glimpse of him. He spotted my friend, winked, and beckoned her over with a charming little finger-crook, just to say hello, then was borne away by a sea of Plaid.

One of my faves was taking Joe Rohde on Safari. In-berm he's a celeb.

Was that the 10 year aniv. ride he took ( the one where he shortly after took Fla. imagineers back stage to...... explain his disgust at what they had done to his attraction... )

He is a cool guy untill he blows a fuse

I was unfortunate enough to have met Dog the Bounty Hunter. He threatend my friend Ashely while she was at Unload, and I was boarding them. My friend Ashley is one of the sweetest girls in the world, and all she asked was, "Please stand behind the yellow line."

He lives on Oahu.

What do you expect from a guy who wears lifts and sits on a booster seat to see over the steering wheel?
