What famous or infamous people did you grow up with as friends when you were a kid?

Jonothan toews grew up in my neighborhood. I moved to the area in grade 12 and never switched to his school so i didnt exaclty know him but he was at a party i went to at my friends house (was actually his older brothers party). Toews got sh**faced drunk and f***ed up the deck

Just curious, do you support Obamacare?

I went to the same elementary school as Steve Jobs. However he was a few grades older than me. My father worked at Cupertino high school when Steve Jobs was attending. My dad would take us there on several occasions. Though I never met Steve Jobs,

Most of the guys from the very fictional Dogtown movies. I'm very surprised only one of them ended up a convicted felon. I would have predicted many more dead by drugs/crime somehow.

Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies) on the other hand, was a nice guy. He was really into his punk rock band thing trying to make it work at a very young age.

Went to a school with a Sandusky type coach.

I went to high school with Lopez Lomong and my girlfriend went to high school with Jordan Hasay

That's pretty cool! Any stories? I was always a fan of Alva skateboards growing up (while, of course, listening to Suicidal Tendencies).

I was on the same Track/XC team as superstar Joey DeFeo, D1 Recruit at No.1 NAUâ„¢.

Dean Corll. We both ran around in same area of Houston in 1970s. Even saw inside of his van. He, Elmer Wayne Henley and David Brooks used that van kidnap, torture and kill upwards of 36 boys.

The "architect of Obama Care", Jon Gruber, was a kid I was friends with. He lived 4 doors down from me. He was one grade ahead of me in school. We were pretty good friends when I was around 10-12 years old. We did sleepovers, played after school, etc., but went into our own social circles when middle school rolled around.

Matt & Kevin Dillon

Yes, he is on the record as saying something to the effect of it being easy to fool the American people.

Pornstar kagney linn karter, her name was kagney necessary back then. She ran cross county and dated some guys on the team.

Lived 2 houses away and went to elementary school with David Gossett, who won the US Amateur (golf) and had a brief PGA Tour career. His dad, IIRC, was a FedEx pilot. Moved to Central Pennsylvania when I was 11, played on same club and high school soccer teams with future USMNT player Ben Olsen. Still stay in touch quite frequently and see each other a few times a year.

High School teammates with Jay Johnson. I guess famous in running circles not to rest of country. Amy Adams was in same grade as Jay, but I didnt really know her too well.

Was Jay smoking the competition? Hell, to even run for Colorado, he had to have been pretty damn fast!
