This really explains a lot. I can’t recall now if you contributed to the ‘hunting is evil’ thread or not, but either would make sense.

Well, according to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=516812&highlight=beaver+supernatural) his username is [jumblejim](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php) but he hasn’t been active for quite some time.  
I actually got my money’s worth on that search.

**CalMeacham** was on TV, a [History Chanel special about Medusa](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=526543&highlight=history+channel+medusa), that was actually pretty accurate.

I seem to remember **newcrasher** making a topic about being someone famous but never actually answering who he was.

Ever see the movie E.T.? Remember the scene where the boy (Elliot) was in school and he released all the frogs until there were hundreds of frogs hopping around the classroom? Remember him crawling between the legs of a blond girl in pigtails, standing up, looking scared as hell and holding a frog in each extended hand?  
Her husband is a regular poster here. I think his name is **Stuffy**.

Yes, I know, not a celeb in itself, but closely related to something most people might remember. 😛 I found it cool, anyway.
