For anyone thinking it had been way too long since BWI had a thread about meeting Joesus, I humbly offer you the current thread entitled "Recall the Time You Met 'The Legend'" The very first post in the thread is quality; Joesus is getting a haircut and the original poster is literally at being in his presence. WTF? Gee, it seems hard to believe that Joesus could do whatever he wanted at PSU when the minions are literally shaking at watching him get a haircut.
Who wouldn't be all tingly inside at waving to Joesus and the God himself actually waved back? I had read the story previously from the poster who recounted Joesus caring more about the mulch than kids getting raped in the showers.
Even for BWI, the guy who recounted emptying Joesus' trash is pitiful.

PSU Dave: "For me, it was one time only in the early 80's. Walked into Rinaldo's Barber Shop and there he was getting a haircut. Sat on a chair right next to him and I don't think I stopped shaking until he left."
odshowtime: "I was picking up a keg on Atherton for my graduation party and he was walking and I honked and waved at him and he waved back."
sluggo72: "He spoke at my sister's college graduation (Gettysburg '79), I saw him in the hall in the SUB, by himself and just went up and shook his hand and said 'Thanks'."
psu9490: "Was watching the players board the bus at Lasch and while walking down with the coaches, yelled at me and some other people for standing on mulch. I think his exact words were 'Get off the mulch! They built a sidewalk so you can stand on it!'"
dem lion: "Walking toward the Creamery in 78 or 9, I think in the Spring. Here he comes the other way. I said "Hi coach!"
He, around a mouthful of ice cream, says, "Hi."
I know, I know. Hard to contain your excitement. Imagine how I felt."
BVSt.Paul: "Not exactly meeting him but in the summer of ‘79 I worked as a garbage man for the borough. Got to empty his trash a few times. Pre recycling days so lots of paper in the trash. Neat cans, no stink like the rest of the route. Wish I had looked further at the contents. Probably some play diagrams, etc.......I did pass him on campus a few times. He always returned my hello."
PSUinSTL: "I was a Math major. To earn extra money - I graded papers for lower level Math Classes. One semester there were 2 FB players in the class. One consistently did well from Day 1 (As/Bs). The other consistently got Cs. about 1/2 through - the player who didn't do as well - started getting As/Bs. I compared papers - it it appeared that he was cheating. I raised it to the professor. About a week later - I got called into her office. I walked in and Joe was there. He asked my why I thought the player was cheating. I explained to him. His response was to fail him."
LundyPSU: "Passed JVP as I was walking out of the library at 4pm on a Friday. Told me I was going the wrong way."
Connorpozlee: "1994 after they beat Michigan I was standing with a group near the buses. As Joe came by I patted him in the chest as he went by and yelled “big win”. He started coughing and gave a fist pump."
dmdpsu: "My frat brothers were playing ball on one of the fields up there and Joe happened by and gave them a good tongue lashing to 'get the hell off of that field.' He was known to that...yell at anybody standing in the wrong spot. He was a policeman in that respect."
