Today's Question(s): Have you ever seen a famous novelty attraction, such as the world's largest ball of twine, or Detroit's Giant Uniroyal Tire? If so, what have you seen and where did you see it?. The only thing that comes to mind is Millennial Park in Chicago and 'the bean'.
Bonus Question(s): Do you have a brush with fame, such as spontaneously seeing a celebrity at an airport, or getting an autograph? If so, who did you see, and where did you see them? If you got their autograph, was it at a scheduled event, such as a backstage pass at a concert? we walked past Weird Al Yankovich and his entourage at Disney World where he was performing. We didn't realize it was him until he was past us already so didn't meet or get an autograph or anything.

I guess so...maybe. I'm not sure. What is 'fame'? I've worked for many very famous people...I have friends that are 'rock stars'...lol...I never saw any of them at airports! Just friends I used to play music with and people that I used to paint in their homes for.

Do you have a brush with fame, such as spontaneously seeing a celebrity at an airport, or getting an autograph? I was at a cocktail party in Christchurch, New Zealand prior to the Commonwealth Games in 1972. I turned around from the group I was talking with and found myself talking to Princess Anne of the British royal family and her then-husband Mark Phillips. They were both participating in the Games in the equestrian events. I was pretty tongue-tied.

Today's Question(s):
Have you ever seen a famous novelty attraction, such as the world's largest ball of twine, or Detroit's Giant Uniroyal Tire? If so, what have you seen and where did you see it? Here in Glen Burnie, we have our own. At the DMV, we have a huge crash test dummy. Other than that, I haven't seen any.

Does a borax museum count? I think it was in Death Valley.

Once I met Danica McKeller in a parking lot in Houston. She played Winnie on The Wonder Years.
Years ago I saw Roy Scheider (from Jaws) when I was with my family in Long Beach. He was filming a movie.
I'm seen/met others, but they weren't spontaneous.

I don't think I've done anything no one else has ever done. I have my unique quirks, but I surely wouldn't say them out loud.
Today's Question(s): Have you ever seen a famous novelty attraction, such as the world's largest ball of twine, or Detroit's Giant Uniroyal Tire? If so, what have you seen and where did you see it? I haven't personally seen it, but I know the world's largest thermometer is out in the Mojave desert on the way to Las Vegas in Baker, California.

If you got their autograph, was it at a scheduled event, such as a backstage pass at a concert? Many years ago, I was with a group of friends near UCLA and we all spotted Pat Sajak at an ice cream shop. No, he wasn't with Vanna White and we weren't close enough to ask him for an autograph.

Sorry, but I'm not unique enough to mention anything noteworthy.

Yes, I've met 3 different presidents, and had a long conversation with President George W. Bush. He was visiting our club, and I was in charge of "baby-sitting" him until he came out to speak to the ladies. In addition, I've met many political figures, and countless band members having made it "big".

I don't know anyone who has met with, or has spoken to, as many political figures and presidents as I have. I wouldn't say I'm "unique" though.

I sure agree with that! I've seen so much in my lifetime.
