I thought there was some rule stating you had to be a celebrity to be allowed to post on the SDMB. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I write for a newspaper in an important place. And nobody has ever heard of me either. I think I’ll go choke with **Astroboy14** now. [sob] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/any-celebrities-on-the-sdmb/95164.md?page=1)
