Celeb game. Who can you get?

[blackPHOGmoan]

So I'm always curious as to who knows what famous people/person.

Let's play a game where you have to call one person from your phone book. That person must in turn call someone from theirs. Who is the most famous person you think you could connect with through 2 phone calls?

A six degrees type game I suppose.

I have John Larroquette's son in my phonebook. I could probably get John Larroquette. If allowed a 3rd call I could potentially get William Shatner or James Spader.

In the sports world I have the Chargers strength coach in my phone book. Maybe Norv Turner or Philip Rivers.

If work counts, I could get a VP to call some pretty high level folks in New York and Washington.

If it's just friends, I know a few guys that are connected in Texas with some pro athletes: Tony Romo, Colt McCoy, etc.

Re: Celeb game. Who can you get?

I would say Michael Jordan or definitely Kevin Garnett. Definitely Kirstie Alley. General Patreus and probably John Behner. Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Warren Buffet. RC Buford.

Sorry, don't mean to sound like TaTownbacker.

Re: Celeb game. Who can you get?

A very good friend of mine plays in the NBA, he became very good friends with KG (actually lived with him) and has also hung out with MJ quite a bit. Good friend is Kirstie's personal assistant. My brother in law is a colonel in the Army and I know Mike Pompeo pretty well (I assume he can get in touch with Behner, maybe not).

The last ones, I would rather not divulge.

Fred Couples is all I have off the top of my head.

And I've dealt with a couple MLB players through work.

Re: Celeb game. Who can you get?

I can get Chuck Norris in two calls. Also, other less important people I could get in two calls include Garth Brooks, Troy Aikman, George Bush (both of them)...

Re: Celeb game. Who can you get?

George W Bush or Jerry Jones

You pick who is "more famous."

ha...just because i could do it, doesn't mean i will.

a friend of mine recently hired the shat to film something for his company. so it's probably a borderline third call.

And I bet he would do it for you just to prove a point on a message board (lol). Many of mine would have to be life or death situations, I couldn't do it just for the hell of it.
