Can't believe no one has mentioned Thurber! I have always felt like Walter Mitty, even before I knew the story. To a large extent, I think every writer is like that. There's real life, and then there's the constant narrative in your head.
They are hit or miss, but there have been some amazing shorts stories in "The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror" collections (they were at their best 9-12 years ago).
I love Smoke & Mirrors by Neil Gaiman; all the stories are great.
Zoetrope is a great resource for modern short stories: http://www.all-story.com/
I was just about to jump back in to throw in Thurber.
The thing is, I much prefer his non-fiction to his fiction. On top of the fact that they're just good stories, there's a lot of Columbus history in there as well. I get a kick out of reading Fort Hayes being depicted as "North of the city."
