Are you Morgan Webb? Please be Morgan Webb. Please?
A lying journalist, that narrows the field … okay, not really.
So, maybe he uses Voice Recognition software to type it, but it’s undeniably Tom Arnold.
Hey, it’s possible that Jon Stewart was the close guess. Maybe he’s Mo Rocca? Ed Helms?
That was my guess. I’d googled “newcrasher”, and the only non-graphic-filename hit was a post on a message board in 1998 by someone named “Jayson” with a newcrasher@aol.com email address. This post was something like six years go. Googling for famous Jaysons led to Jayson Blair, Jayson Stark, and Jayson Williams, and the latter two were excused by their professions (sports writer, athlete). Another google confirmed Jayson Blair lived recently in the state newcrasher had said he lived in. So I put in my answer.
After my answer was shot down in that way, I decided that I probably got his first name right based on that ancient message, and that’s all. Fame without notoriety? Either he’s not famous, or he’s famous in a “he’s the guy who…” sort of way where nobody would recognize his name anyway.
Yesterday I wasted some time researching his old posts here on the SDMB, and was unable to derive his surname. So that’s it.
Be my guest.
As far as I can remember it’s verbatim, although it was from the intro credits to the TV series rather than the movie {God, the stuff that sticks in your head}, as spoken by the black lady dance-instructor.
See, me, I’m enjoying this thread.
I read Jayson Williams’ book and thought it was pretty funny. Isn’t he now more famous as an accused murderer?
It is kind of transparent. If it is indeed Mr. Blair, it surely fits in with the hash he made of what might have been a career in journalism. Almost all print journalists toil in anonymity ( unlike their broadcast counterparts ).
His craving for the spotlight is fairly well documented. He lied for a long time to try to gain fame, and it cost him heavily. It would not surprise me, based on the tone of the OP’ers posts in here, if he turned out to be Mr. Blair.
Kind of a yawn, yanno?
Maybe he’s Linda Blair.
:: shakes head in amazement ::
Tony Blair.
What if it’s David Letterman?
That would make me smile.
My off-the-wall theory based loosely on barely anything:
He’s they guy who beat Ken Jennings!
Of course, that would mean that he’s not-quuite-yet famous, but is virtually guaranteed to be.
Blair Underwood
I doubt it. I also have absolutely nothing to base this on, but I have a feeling the guy will be a Buster Douglas.
I from your user name, I think at one point you may have been a Mr Higgins…
“I see OJ looking very upset”
If you are: kudo’s.
Are you Scott Peterson?
Are you the guy(s) that actually killed Nicole Brown Simpson that OJ is in search of on the golf courses of the world?
Are you or have you ever been Gary Coleman?
There really should be a game show with this title.
I agree, Chastain, that is what I thought when I wrote it. Or maybe a song title.
