[QUOTE=Sampiro] The only celebrity that I think there’s proof of having at some point logged onto the Dope was Weird Al Yankovic- . . . [/QUOTE] Neil Gaiman has mentioned the SDMB on his blog once or twice. It was why I dropped in. This is not evidence that he’s ever posted. ---

[QUOTE=Trunk] No, I don’t think he’s a member. Drawing any conclusion about a person’s membership here because of something they said in real life is stupid. I think the reasons given in the OP are completely retarded. . .because he’s intelligent, and intelligent people hang out here? There’s about 5 things wrong with that statement. The airplane/treadmill thing has been done to death, everywhere. [/quote] Agreement all around. “Matt Groening must be a Doper because a minor character’s brother is named “Cecil” even though it’s pronounced differently!” > [@](#): > > Jesus, if a guy showed up who said he filled in at keyboard at a Pat Benator concert once in 1982 because the real player got food poisoning, I’d be impressed. Former member **aha** was actually in a band that was fairly famous (though not famous enough for me to remember its name at the moment). ---

[QUOTE=FlyingCowOfDoom] You’re all missing the important point: the plane WILL take off! –FCOD [/QUOTE] No, it won’t. The reason why: It’s far too heavy. Every discussion about the “plane on a treadmill” has been printed out and stuffed in its container. Thus, it’s obviously far too heavy to take off. Q.E.D.! ---

[QUOTE=MannyL] I’m not sure if this is the better forum than IMHO but because the topic is a celebrity I am posting here I believe that Mr. Carey is a fellow doper. My reasons behind this are 1. Mr. Carey is an intelligent person and many intelligent people are drawn to this list like a moth to a flame 2. At the tapings of The Power of 10 he takes time to answer some questions from the audience. I asked him a variant of the plane on the treadmill question and he gave the answer that the board worked out as being correct. While I wished he had said Hi Opal or when you come back bring pie or even Gotcha Ya! to show without a doubt he is a doper I am satisfied with my experiment. [/QUOTE] Drew hangs out at Bob’s Big Boy in Toluca Lake — he’s there all the time and he’s usually on his laptop I’ll ask him next time I see him ---

Maybe we’re all missing the point; maybe this place is better without celebrities cluttering it up with their hangers-on and paparazzi and all that crap. Besides, celebrities always expect special treatment - like being allowed personal attacks in IMHO or something. ---

Well, this thread has certainly been educational. I hadn’t realized that Jim Beaver came through here last year or that he had those other credits to his name when he wasn’t doing some TV show or other. And certainly lends a new (meta!) dimension to Bobby Singer. That’s awesome. Can you really say “I’ve used the same BB software that _FamousName_ has!” ? …nah, doesn’t have the same ring. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Trunk] I’m actually surprised that someone the size of Jim Beaver ever even made it through here. [/QUOTE] I’m sure there are posters that are a lot bigger. Jim looks like a normal sized person to me.
