Uhh… I was the 2003 Region 1 Champion of the Texas UIL Academic Accounting competition. That covers just about all of northwest Texas and I was NUMBER ONE.
I’ve had 15 megabytes of fame… on Livejournal.
Nope, not me. My life is somewhat of a comic strip, but of limited appeal to anyone but me.
My (half) cousin is a well known Bad Boy of British Art. I’ve never met him. I could probably get him a deal on used eyeballs or something. (This statement has been classified “BJ” – “Bad Joke” by the Straight Dope Rating Board, so quit yer kvetching).

Quoth Sattua:
Out of curiousity, by what path? I keep meaning to figure out mine, but I’m not sure where to start…
Sorry for the hijack… this was bugging the poop outta me.
It was Chef Troy - I was close, though.
Hotchkin and Camp, 2001. I go to his school where he did the study, Camp is my major professor, I used some of Hotchkin’s data, and I know him. Pul doesn’t know shit about their mating. I am the only person in the world who has any authority on their mating behavior.
Make that Paul doesn’t know shit.
I’m a world-class conjugator: Skink, skank, skunk.
Ohhhh. Details. I know #2, obviously, but I do not know #1–I just took it on #2’s word.
My Dad arrested the Libertarian candidate during a California gubernatorial debate, a couple of years back. (She’d rushed the stage.)
