Glad you posted what that avatar said because all I could make out was the word "Ninjas" and it was really making me wonder what it said! Too funny

Yeah I couldn't see what the hell it was....Funny avatar Jimmy!!

I tried to fix it so you could read it, but it's too small. I'll have to find another one

I was a sportswriter for 8 years - most notable interview I ever did was with Pele. Covered DC United for 6 seasons, including 2 of their championship seasons. I used to do radio in college and since we are on the subject, both Manchester United and Sheffield United are among the teams I follow around the globe (Rangers, Lecce, Exeter City - friend plays there - Toulouse, Zenit St. Petersburg, Red Star Belgrade, Borussia Monchengladbach and PSV Eindhoven are others).And in the most obscure fact I could think of - I'm the nation's 9th-ranked Subbuteo player.

Okay, here's my "fame" portfolio (in no certain order):I've been writing about video games almost since they first came out. So, I've been on TV a bunch of times as an "expert," and no one really cares or remembers. Not even my family...I held the world record twice for the Battlezone coin-op in something like 1980.I'll actually be doing some game-related writing that'll also be poker-related, too. More on that next week (I'll be sure to post all the dirty details here).I wrote for Issue #2 of Wired.I've authored/co-authored/edited nine books....and no one really cares or remembers.I wrote some video game-related jokes for Martin Short along with a pro comedy writer (who, BTW, is now on the Saturday Night Live staff).Back in the early '90s, before game publishers started licensing the real ball players' names and stats, my name was on the roster of two different baseball video games (because the developers took names off the staff listings of various game magazines in addition to other groups, like friends, relatives and people they worked with). I believe in both games, my "player" is a crummy relief pitcher you'd never choose to actually use in a game.I'm on deadline now for a story that I really should get back to instead of trying to compile my "fame" portfolio, so I can actually go to my friend's Super Bowl/poker party instead of sitting in front of the keyboard...Oh, and certainly my most (in)famous: I've been on The People's Court...**Judge Wapner's** People's Court (plaintiff...won...got a couple thou...took family to Hawaii on vacation). I have the video tape to prove it (not the Hawaii vacation, but People's Court).So, do I win anything (aside from the most embarrassing post)?

i proposed to my girlfriend on the local news to get my 15 minutes of fame.. does that make me famous :)hahah

Dude, it took you 15 minutes to propose to your girlfriend?? Musta been a slow news day...(hehe) A E

[qheuie 0]

it didn't take 15 minutes. they aired the proposal piece (i didn't even have to do any work ) then the film crew barged into the house and we were on TV for an interview about 15 minutes later.i actually heard about the whole thing on the local radio station later in the day.. ha.

In the mid-90s, I worked for a computer company and the local news station was doing a story on work-related injuries. A new ergonomic keyboard was coming out and my co-worker was to do the presentation on the news. Well, he showed up to work in shorts and a T-shirt, so I had to do the presentation with five minutes notice.Needless to say, I did horrible. I was supposed to connect how this keyboard was to help with work-related injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome.The next week, I received a videotape showing the interview on CNN. I was supposed to be a carpal tunnel syndrome expert and part of a new movement of research regarding the topic. I had my fifteen minutes of fame, but I haven't watched CNN the same way since.Harlan Batac

i was on MTV news once in 1998. It was a deal about a christian punk rock festival. I was the fat kid with glasses who quoted Psalm 98 " Shout for joy to The Lord. Shout for joy before The Lord, The King." and Psalm 100 " Make a joyful noise unto The Lord"Umm...and I was one of the guys thanked in the liner notes of a friend's band's album. Band called Pep Squad, album called Yreka Bakery. Was a major label release, but didn't sell well. Nonetheless, i bet at least one of you has it. Look for the part that says "thanks to Josh and Richie". I'm the Richie. That's it. Man I'm pathetic.Oh wait!! One of my HS friends was a cover model for the asian edition of Vogue once! Yep, still pathetic.

I was an extra for Bill and Ted's excellent Adventure. For all you young uns..it was a narly movie made in the late 80's. ok. so far, I've read a stripper, soccor game announcer, a marriage proposal, fake story teller to be on tv, A man yelling religios slogans on mtv, and a few others. wow. The ability to gain 2 minutes of fame from this group is just awesome! Daniel must be so proud.Ok, I'm still amazed there are no pornstars out there that plays poker. Maybe poker is too sleazy for them. Well then, we can go down a notch. where are all the lawyers?..hehe

[JFarrell20 1]

My claim to fame was pulling the school fire alarm during my brothers basketball game when I was in third grade.After that, everyone knew who I was..

[TexasCoffee 0]

My name was announced and talked about for 30 minutes on Howard Stern show as the co-star of some famous porn star in a new release. For the rest of the week I got dozens of calls from friends asking me about my "new" job...Having the last name "Cox" has its moments... For the record, Michael J Cox (the actor) is some other dude (

My fifteen minutes were 1998 when I was in a monster.com commercial. It aired during the superbowl that year and was ranked one of the best superbowl commercials of all time. My face was in TV guide and alot of major newspapers. Its played on friday with the best super bowl commercials.

[Guest]

hmmmm well... fame by association; I dated a supermodel's sister for 3 years, sure was nice to have her practice her runway walk in lingerie in the living room... and NO, I'm not going to tell you who she is (but a hint... she's got a movie deal for a book she's written)other than that... I was on a kayaking trip in Chiapas, Mexico in 2003 when we were kidnapped by Zapatistas... was written up in a number of paddling magazines and even made the US newspapers....I'm mentioned in a forthcoming book by a author/photographer friend on a 3 week trip we did down the Fraser River (British Columbia). He's used pics of me during his motivational speaking tours too... actually had another friend who I was out of touch with, she went and saw me on the screen and called me up. let's just say that being bigger than life at times has it's benefits.. :twisted: Oh yeah, and we nearly got eaten by a couple cougars that trip.and, I'm sure that soon enough I'll be famous for my awesome poker skillz.... ok - that one might be a little farfetched.Good thread - been fun reading about ya all.

hah iceman, i remember that tiger thing too, saw that rich eisen sportscenter....oh how i wish i had nfl network, rich eisen is a god....

[KDawgCometh 2]

the best part of iceman doing that was proving how much of a self absorbed baby Tiger Woods is. He's a great golfer, but he is a whiny little bizitch

i once saw an elderly lady get robbed and almost attempted to help her. for some reason i decide that jumping on a big bald mugger (i was 5 feet away) while wearing my new italian suit wasn't really a good idea. i ended up in the local 10:00 news anyway as a key witness. i hope that mugger didn't see me on t.v. =[

Been on tv tons of times playing football. Not sure it makes me famous. M0st people don't even notice lineman.

[The Dude 0]

Have you played football manager 2005? I heard it's excellent, can't find it here in the states though.

Careful if you buy this, it's very addictive. Be prepared to telephone in to work claiming you have some tropical disease and need 4 months off. Also eats into my poker time. On the plus side I can now manage on 2 hours sleep a night and minimal food. Just one more game I'm on a roll is the cry to my girlfriend. She thinks I'm grinding out enough to pay for the next vacation. If she knew I was just trying to win the LDV trophy with Swansea I think there would be trouble in paradise :-)

Well, as a very young child I did some acting in a commercial. When iwas about eleven I made the local papers by falling into a construction hole and cracking my head open.One heck of a way to get your name in the paper. LOL. But I can honestly say I didnt know it was there. I went to school in the morning and i walked right over that spot,I guess I should have been paying attention to where I was walking and not the person I was talking to. One lesson learned the hard way. LOL.
