Thanks, but that’s not even within shouting distance of “famous”. You couldn’t bask in it – the best you could do would be to sorta squint at it.
That reminds me, one of the posters on one of the breakaway boards was claiming to be me, or so I’m told.
I must be famous for that to happen, right?
Right??
If everything goes according to plan, I will be famous in a few years…
I’m hearing this in a Mr. Burns-ish voice (or perhaps the Brain’s voice from “Pinky and the Brain”) followed by diabolical laughter.
Umm … you’ll remember your old friends, won’t you? Kindly, too, I hope…?
That’s a relief. I was worried it was a Lee Harvey Oswald voice.
I pretty sure he just came on to write a staff report about the death of Superman (George Reeve). He is the subject matter expert and was the advisor to the movie Hollywoodland.
Oh all right, I’ll come clean and 'fess up.
I am really Pulitzer prize winning Daily Planet reporter & columnist Clark Kent.
Then I presume you know this guy.
Him? Oh yeah, he’s a real wingnut. Got some weird fetishes lemme tell you…and what’s up with that jail-bait little boy he’s always got with him? Creeps me out.
(Wait are we talking about the SAME Bruce Wayne?)
Ah yes,but at least that site is pretty good for a porn site.
I was famous in my old industry for some technical magazine articles I published. One of them was an article I was requested to write for what is the premier technical magazine in that industry. I’m still proud of that one.
In that same industry, I achieved some notoriety by causing a loud mouthed individual to leave a meeting room simply by threatening to throw him through a window if he didn’t shut up. Might be the reason job offers suddenly dried up, too.
I’m a Scottish mathematician who’s several hundred years old.
I also really like Anne Neville on the basis of her postings and am intrigued by what appear to be several shared interests. I had for some time been worried, though, about anybody who would actually post with her real name.
Then I discovered 2 remarkable things:
- She’s about as old as I am.
- I’m apparently not at all well read.
I was in a band (this one time at band camp) that had a song that was somewhat globally recognized, does that count?
Our sax player’s brother was/is a huge IT nerd, and wanted the Richard Stallman version of the “Free Software song” redone, so as to be more modern. Well this was in the mid nineties when Ska was “hip” and that’s what my band kinda did. Long story short we got free web hosting for a year, and a whole ton of people have heard our version of the song.
That said, the song is really, uh, kinda bad. Dated yes, but even then this wasn’t anything we were proud of to any degree. That’s what you get for about a half hour’s worth of dumb ideas and a barely passable recording in the basement.

Someone took it upon themselves to dub our version onto the video for “Don’t copy that floppy” which I had yet to hear of until i stumbled across the Youtube link one day.
