Wow, I had no idea (before this thread) **CalMeacham** was a published author. Now I feel a little better about his posts being so much smarter and funnier than mine. ---

**Anamorphic** posts here. He’s directed a lot of stuff, including a comedy short that tons of people saw (even before they knew he was a Doper), and has his first feature-length film opening early next year. With a budget and a soundtrack and movie stars and everything. Just had to brag. I’m proud of my Morphy. 🙂 ---

Is not **Legomancer** the same Legomancer who was involved in the creation of the [All Your Base Are Belong to Us](http://www.detonate.net/newsitems/01021601/ayb.swf) ‘video’? That ranks as sort of a cult celebrity, in my book. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CalMeacham \* > \*\*It depends on how you define “famous”. The Bad Astronomer is a regular poster, and he qualifies by my definition. On the other hand, I doubt if Michael Jackson has posted here. \*\* No kidding? His site seriously rocks. ---

I won the Alabama State Spelling Bee when I was 14. Sometimes people STILL recognize me on the street. No, not kidding either. There are some hardcore-spelling bee-fans in Alabama, apparently. I’m famous around my college campus, too–I’m “that poet who always performs at Guerrilla Theatre.” Someday they’ll remember my name. ---

> [@](#): > > Speaking of Eve… > > I’d like to say hi. Anyone in contact with her? Eve left the board for her own reasons. To avoid the temptation of posting, she asked to have her membership closed. However she will occasionally lurk here to read posts. She did read the tribute threads that were posted to her and thanks everyone for all that was said. ---

I didn’t know Eve, but I checked that link. Wow! Theda Bara! I gotta read that one! I really love anything to do with silent movies. I’ve actually had several poems published, and I’m on the Drama Team at Church. Close enough? Hey, will you settle for INfamous?!
