Anyone know of any famous people on this board (besides Cecil)? I’m sure there are, it’s just a matter of if they reveal their identity to us or not…
Ones that I know of are Bad Astronomer who runs a website by the same name and is seen on TV often debunking astronomical myths. And there was one guy who was a 5-time champion on Jeopardy!.
aha was a rock’n’roll star in the '60s, and we’ve got a few published authors, Eve being the only one I can think of right now.
Of course, as soon as I hit submit, I remembered that RealityChuck is a publiiished author as well.
Or me. I won the Nobel Prize in 2017 for my invention of time travel, and by spring of 2018, I was an international celebrity ;).
And I think that aha, famed around here for being welcomed by Cecil, was a semi-famous rocker. But I don’t think he posts any more.
James Lileks, who’s semi-famous in the blog community, a syndicated newspaper columnist, and a published book author, registered here at one point, but I don’t think he ever posted.
What famous rocker was Aha?
He was in the group the “Five Americans”, IIRC.
Well, Cecil Adams posts here from time to time, can’t get bigger than that.
And we’ve had various people stop in from time to time, for instance when their works was referenced in a Staff Report or Column.
Lots of celebs (like, say, Jon Stewart of the Daily Show) probably stop in under a nomme du guerre. Or du plume. Or some sort of nomme.
Cite?
And isn’t it nom de plume?
Michael Moore had someone post here for him once.
Is there any reason to beleive that Jon Stewart has posted here? You, reading this now! Are you Jon Stewart?
Link to Michael Moore??
Link to Michael Moore??
I am Jon Stewart’s imaginary friend Sprinkles and i ride a giant trilobite while fighting superintelligent vampire midget band-aids from the ravioli nebula who work for the merciless Dr. Biopse.
Ianzin has been on various TV shows too, with his magic/psychic debunking act I believe.
pan
Speaking of tv shows, five time champ won five times on Jeopardy!.
This goes back a ways, but Jon Cryer was a guest back when we had regular chats. See Cecil’s article on The Pompatus of Love. And Jon Cryer’s movie.

I don;t have it. Some more information would be needed for a search, I think. “Michael Moore” would yield tons of hits. Anyone remember the topic or any of the participants? Or, the name of the poster he went through?
Are not.
Yes i am Jon Stewart’s Evil Twin Ron Stewart, Scourge of the seven seas and living nightmare of all who oppose me, my attack shrew Rutager and assisstant Glorp have seized control of Eritrea and will soon launch an attack on Chad, for their trechery in the last US presidential election!
Here is the thread in which yojimbo tells us how he talked to Michael Moore.
