Any of you Straight Dopers a bona fide celebrity?

I was on an episode of “The New Detectives” on TLC.

I went to Matt Damon’s birthday party at his apartment in NY. Ben was trying to score blow the whole time.

Actually my last 2 girlfriends were producers so I’ve met a lot of movie stars.

I was on CNBC once to talk about futures trading.

My sister was on a regional news program about breast-feeding working mothers.

My older brother is a postal inpector for the mid-west and gets to say a blurb on TV everytime a post office gets robbed.

My younger brother once produced a famous regional sports radio show and was on the air quite often.

I’m huge in state government. OK OK so I mean girth not importance. BUT HUGE I TELL YA!!

You great Grandfather is Max Carnage? Cool!

I was an extra on the TV show “Family Matters.” Yes, that show with Urkel.

My cat thinks I’m god.

I once shared an elevator with Ben Wicks, and at another time spent an afternoon at Nash the Slash’s apartment in the company of a mutual acquaintance. That’s it for celebrities in my life. As for myself? I’m not even well-known in my hobbies, let alone anything professional. Although I hope that will change with my efforts at cartooning and video.

No, I’m sorry. Your cat thinks you think it is a god. That’s the way all cats think.

I got you all beat though. I once worked as a stock clerk in a grocery storewhere I heard Willard Scott talking to my co-workers from two aisles over! Top that! :smiley:

Why?

I was the professor responsible for Pepper’s ultimate success in the medical field. That’s all the glory I’ll ever need.

No, your cat thinks you’re a disciple. :wink:

I am only famous on a local level if that… and if not then in my group of friends.

My claim to fame, one of them:

I streaked in the local walmart that my mother works at.

Localy thats the biggest thing someone could do in my tiny town I call home.

A certain sybling of mine smoked a certain illegal plant with a certain youngest daughter of a certain current POTUS, but I won’t tell you which one.

I have also done the same (no, really)… am I your sister?

Not sure I should reveal this…, what the hell, my wife does voice recordings for several companies, both in English and Spanish, so if you’re annoyed by some company calling in the middle of dinner and it’s a sexy female voice asking you to consider Dish Network or some other product, then you can thank, or curse her.

Also, if when you call some company’s customer service a woman’s voice says “Para Español marque el numero 2”, that’s probably her too.

Well at home I am a celebrity, being that I was the first one of my people to cross interstellar distances sucessfully.

But does it count if I’m not famous here?

My Erdos number is 3. Howzzat?

Piffle! Pshaw, even! When I worked for the Department of State, it seemed I was always assigned as the Baggage Handling Officer for any CODEL or presidential visits. While directing cargo activities under the belly of the plane, I saw the shoes and cuffs of many dignitaries including Jesse Jackson, Bill and Hillary, the CIA director, etc. Lifestyles of the scuffed and famous!

I actually was able to shake hands with ol’ Bill in a meet and greet line and had to look at his shoes to confirm his identity.

I guess you could call me ‘well-heeled’.

Chefguy, are you the one who has an online comic strip, or am I thinking of someone else?

I had dinner once with Gene Roddenbery and drinks once with George Takei.

Yeah, I’m a Trekker. Wanna make something of it?
