Nice. 

So I see you are buying hungry man dinners,  bulking up for your next match? Oh and can you sign this can of spaghetti-os?

Would you mind putting me in the figure four leg lock here in the soda aisle?

Ironically, the uh...Nature Boy was doing an autograph session in the garden dept.

Caps should really be excluded since he is always rubbing elbows with society's elite.  We can all say we have a claim to fame for just knowing him as he is famous in his own right.  But caps which of your myriad experiences were your favorite? How do you do your interviews,  via the net, phone, in person? Or does it just depends on circumstances unique to the interviewee's schedule and disposition?

I'm flattered by the way you put that. I can't say I have a favorite experience, since each interview has been fun and exciting in its' own way. As for how I do my interviews, during most of my time on RetroJunk, I did the interviews through e-mail. The last three interviews I did (Samantha Fox, Julie Michaels and Jewel Shepard) were all done on the phone. It was originally suggested I do interviews on the phone by a former RetroJunk user in a private message, but I didn't purchase a recorder until Samantha Fox's PR man told me she only did interviews on the phone.

Of all the interviews I've done for Pop Geeks so far, the Catherine Mary Stewart interview was done through e-mail, since that's how she preferred to do it. All the following interviews, from Jamie Rose onward, have been done on the phone.

I actually started a thread a while back with links to the Pop Geeks interviews I've done. You'll recognize some of the questions from my RetroJunk interviews: http://www.retro-daze.org/site/thread/id/759

I want to hear the Chuck Norris story.

I was in karate as a kid and somehow where I went got him to visit. I don't remember much of the encounter though.

Sometimes, famous people will do stupid things just to boost their fame. Look at Justin Bieber.

I saw Roberta Flack in concert back in 1971 and I swear she smiled at me.

I feel like such a loser, other than the NWA Legends wrestling convention back in 2008 I don't think I've met anyone even remotely famous. 

@massreality: My guess is the only famous people you're likely to run into in Wal-Mart these days are the cast of Honey Boo-Boo or possibly Duck Dynasty.

I'm not trying to brag here, but I actually do have another story that is not quite worthy of a whole article about the time I met Tom Hanks or as I like to say, the time he met ME!
