> [@VarlosZ](#): > > No, no one really famous would reveal who they were, specifically. It’s nice to be at least somewhat anonymous. I don’t even like my friends knowing I post here, just in case I write something foolish or embarassing. I can’t imagine having to worry about a million fans lurking to see what Jodie Foster thinks about stem cell research. > > I assumed that **Parental Advisory** was kidding about being Jared, but if he came back and insisted it was true, I would believe him. Yah, that would be a mess. I could see it happening…a thousand newbie guests every week cluttering things up, a distinct rise in bitterness amongst longtime users…mods going insane…cats and dogs living together…it would be anarchy. ---

I am the Lizard Queen!!! (That is, I have 3 pet lizards, doesn’t that make me the supreme monarch of them all?) ---

If its Agent99 or Less Than Jake (guess thats earlier 90s though huh?), that would be awesome. [/geekymusicfan rant] ---

If you play a certain game in a certain country, then you’ve almost certainly heard of me and probably seen me. Chances are you’ve read something I’ve written, too. ---

Back in 1997 my name was in the credits for the computer game Dark Colony put out by SSI. My one and only claim to anything resembling fame(not even close though). ---

I wouldn’t think there is any reason for me to be famous, but in high school i was aparently known by far more people than i could have guessed. also if you attend a certain club in boston who has recieved several accolades several years running having to do with the goth and gay communities. and just happaned to go on wendsday and if this club just happans to be moving locations. You would probably recognize me as someone associated with the great Paco ---

Almost 50,000 people now own copies of books I’ve written. If you combined the circulations of the magazines I’ve written for, it would probably be about half a million. That said, how many people could name one single freelance writer for the magazine you most recently read? I doubt if anyone reading this has heard of me. Back when I was in a different career (before I became a writer) there was an article about me in _Forbes_ magazine, and there are a few thousand members of that profession’s trade association that would recognize my name. ---

> [@elelle](#): > > I so hate to see **Eve** sell herself short. Easy there, **elelle**. She’s extremely sensitive about her height. 😛 Famous. Hmmmm. My name hits on an IMDB search from some screen credits I’ve got. Then again, I guess that puts me in the company of several hundred thousand crew members. :dubious: Cartooniverse - proud to both tower over and cower before our beloved **Eve**.
