I just saw…
July 2, 2009 @ 1:36 p.m. by Joannaby joanna
I think we did this last summer on the blog, where people detailed the stories of people they saw out and about. I wrote about how I saw Ricky Ross in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart and ran over to introduce myself to the man I’ve heard so much about.
Who’s someone that you saw randomly while you were out and about? Got a good story?
Today I saw former Southeast football coach Dan Johnson at the Quik Trip where I was getting my 32 ounces of 49-cent pop.
Johnson is in town visiting family before he heads back to Edwardsville, Ill., where he’s coaching the single-wing with former Conway Springs and Derby coach Mark Bliss. Sounds like Johnson has a nice gig, coaching running backs (he’s always been a line coach). He loves the school and the town and coaching the single-wing.
We caught up on family, too. His said his son, Jeremiah, who played at Kapaun, still speaks so highly of current Southeast coach Gary Guzman. Not a surprise. Guzman is truly a class guy.
Let’s see, I’ve also seen Jefferson Airplane — on a plane! — it was my first plane trip and I was heading to Seattle.
I saw Jesse Ventura at a Twins game — before he was Minnesota’s governor.
I saw Mike Pelfrey at a YMCA soccer game last fall. He knows my husband well, so my oldest boys got a picture with him.
I saw Johnny Bench at the Johnny Bench Award for catchers. Oh, wait, that’s not random, huh?
Usually I need my husband with me to point out people for two reasons — I’m usually focused on what I have to do, not the people around me, and he always recognizes everyone. There’s not a place we go where he doesn’t know someone. It’s really amazing.
OK, so who are yours?

I will have you know that i once fought Kirstie Alley. 1987, i was coming off of a 5 day binge where i actually did nothing but drink box wine and eat sausage. Well one morning i wake up, completely out of it of course, to hear this lady just yelling at me. Now her voice is like echoing off the walls of my hangover, so im not real sure what was said. Turns out i had passed out on her lawn, and maybe possibly peed in her pool and wrestled her maid Rosa (nice lady) for the morning paper. Anyway thats not the point, shes yelling at me, im obviously incoherent and a little bit scared at this point. When she kicks me, maybe it was just a nudge, but the intent was the same. Well let me tell you friend, never ever nudge a man who has been drinking wine from a foil container who is pantless on your lawn, cuz he will strike. And strike i did, i bit her ankle. Hard. She then preceded to pick me up and atomic power bomb me into the manicured lawn. Obviously she got the best of me in round one but the second round is where i make my money. I gather myself just in time to see her try and charge me like the bull she later became, not so fast Sam Malone. I catch her with the old 1, 2, and follow that up with a good ole Maui Thai Knee strike to the teeth. She looked up at me, wiped the blood from her mouth and im not sure what happened next but the sky opened i think i saw Jesus eating popcorn and watching Ms. Alley give me the beating of a lifetime, curb stomp included. And that is how i became Mr. Kirstie Alley.

My children and I and my brother and his family were returning from a family wedding at the Grand Canyon. We spent the night in Durango, Co. In the morning, we ate breakfast at a little cafe in downtown Durango. As we were seated and settling in our children and discussing the menu, I noticed the group at the next table. One of them looked a lot like Michael J. Fox. As I heard him speak, my suspicion was confirmed. My brother started hissing at his wife to get out the camera but I insisted we play it cool and not act like starstruck idiots. One of the kids at his table started talking to my niece and we eventually all began conversing. As the conversation wound down, my brother casually asked, “So, where are you from?” MJF answered “Manhattan”, to which we all incredulously querried in perfect unison, “KANSAS?!?!?!?” He got a good chuckle out of that.

True story: (most of it)
I saw Kirsti Alley in the Victorias Secret on north Rock Road, (I was buying some of them thong britches for my wife). It was when she was doing those Jenny Craig commercials and saying that she was down to 150 lbs. She was wearing gray sweats and looked to be every bit of 225. She dropped a pair of flannel boxers on the floor and when she bent over to pick them up, she accidently broke a little wind, well I say “little” but honestly it sounded like a Jake Brake on an 18 wheeler slowing down for road construction. She was a bit embarrassed and I wanted to act like I didn’t hear it, but that was kinda difficult considering it blew my John Deere cap right off my head.
