No, but I used one to plug a hole in my gas tank once. (He was not happy about it either.)

Did you like you, or did you blow yourself off?

Let's hope that didn't happen to the chimp.

It didn't, but he felt pretty fuelish when his friends found out about it.

Oh yes I almost forgot, as a teenager, when I worked for the horse track mentioned in another thread, one of my jobs was to deliver the tape of the races to the local network affiliates for the 11:00 pm news. And since I had to wait for each to make a copy, I got to hang around the news rooms for awhile. So that summer I met most of the local news people including Connie Chung. But the best part was being free to roam after the last delivery. It was pretty cool having access to the hollywood studio lots.

When I was five I met Santa.

When I was little Prince Andrew played Santa at Harrods and I sat on his knee. I wish it'd been the real Santa though.

Cool! I'm a big fan. Hard to find Wakeman fans. Heck, it's hard to find Wakeman albums...

I've encountered (and conversed with) Robert J. Sawyer - twice - both times at plays.
