We might remember you from such message boards as Drunken Porno Forums and this one.

But we don’t. 😛

Oh wow, this post reminded me that I dreamed sometime in the past few nights that Ann Coulter was trying to seduce me, and I kept trying to turn down her creepy advances. I think I woke up terrified in a cold sweat.

No idea who **newcrasher** could be, but through some deduction I have come to the conclusion that either Bill Maher or his writers are members of the SDMB. It is, however, only speculation. I also suspect that somebody affiliated with ESPN program development is a member here and plagiarized one of my ideas.

Has anyone bothered to guess that the OP’s name is the rather common “Johnny Walker”, which is routinely sold in pubs, as well as (incidentally) the same as two famous traitors? I didn’t read the entire thread to find out for myself.

As for me, I ain’t famous, but a Google on my name finds references only to me, so at least I’m unique.

:smack: It just hit me that this guy could be a _reality show_ “star”.

If that’s the case, bud, I’m guaranteed not to know you (unless you’re the gay guy that won survivor and got made fun of by triump t.i.c.d. whose name I can’t even recall right now), and you probably aren’t, in fact, the most famous doper.

Am I right? Were you on a reality show? What’s my prize?

There’s a few names that aren’t on there. My name is somewhat rare, but there are at least a couple dozen of us scattered throughout Chicago, Wisconsin, and Michigan. I think there’s also ones in Pennsylvania and New York. Is that supposed to be a comprehensive list?

I challenge **newcrasher** to reveal his identity (with some verification) via email to some trustworthy Doper who has posted to this thread. That Doper will then report back to this thread, without revealing **newcrasher** ’s identity, whether or not **newcrasher** ’s claim to fame is valid.
