Orbital and Stephen Hawking - they performed at the Paralympic opening ceremony together. Unexpected, but wonderful.

wow! <3

It was so great. On stage, Hawking was wearing a pair of torch specs too!

More Alice Cooper, this time with Vincent Price

Vincent Cooper seems to be drinking a half of bitter.

Ive never seen a pre-'75 picture of Alice where he is not holding an alcoholic beverage of some sort.

I kind of feel like Alice Cooper should be exempted from this thread. He's met, and been photographed with, every person on the planet.

Groucho Marx and Diana Ross:

1966--someone posted it on Facebook today. I don't know if anyone's linked to this already, but here's a whole Tumblr devoted to the subject:

Makes it a little too easy.

From The One by RJ Smith, here's James Brown and Strom Thurmond.

that fulfills the premise of the thread. we're done now.

Holy shit

i'm not sure that makes me happy

^^^ good point

from his first autobiography The Godfather of Soul: "I don't think endorsing Nixon was a very smart thing to do," says record executive Hal Neely. "I didn't do it to be smart," Brown replies.

so you did it to...?

After Brown's endorsement, Nixon was corrupt enough to have the government help him with some legal troubles, having the FCC stop investigating his radio stations and getting an IRS case transferred down to civil court.

His meeting with Strom Thurmond happened after Lee Atwater was one of the few people to visit him in jail.

Brown and Thurmond were super-tight bros

Chewbacca, some kid, some guy...?

Chewbacca, child actor Gary Coleman, porn star Ron Jeremy

Thanks!

That comes pretty close to winning this thread imo.

Everyone's noticed Gary Coleman's not wearing a hat, right

I noticed it's not Peter Mayhew. Chewbacca's probably under 6' in that picture.

you guys realize that's not the real Chewbacca, right

that's not really Ron Jeremy's cock size, either

Is that from that really right-wing movie where Chris Farley's brother plays Michael Moore and Gary Coleman throws a sponge at an off-screen "Barack" to finish washing a car?

Tuomas sez: who are Chris Farley, Michael Moore and Barack Obama and why should I have heard of them?

Apparently it's from something called "Midgets vs Mascots".

Here is some trivia for this film, from imdb.com

• The gator is fighting a real live alligator.
• During the milk chug scene, several people dining at the restaurant got sprayed with vomit and fecal matter. The producers paid their dry cleaning bill to help smooth things over.
• Gary Coleman's last film.
