Rules are simple. You throw out a celebrity (singer / band, actor, writer, whatever) and then the next person has to come in and tell which Doper is their Biggest Fan ™. You can figure it out anyway you wish (like say you’ve heard them talk about them on here a gazillion times) and the only thing stopping you is another Biggest Fan ™ coming in to dispute your claim. Then the game-moderator (heh, me) will decide who is right and the game will continue. Unfortunately, there is no ultimate winner. Just the satisfaction that you kicked everyone’s ass and took no prisoners. Otherwise, we’ll all join the losers for a rousing rendition of “You’re so Vain.” Takers? [Disclaimer: And remember, everyone please play nice. If you think someone else is a dip for loving band X, either keep it to yourself or save it for another thread. This is meant to be fun and playful, nothing more. Certainly not as a real critique of anyone’s opinions. Thanks.] I’ll start… Paul Verhoeven ---

Correct on **lissener**! And although I’ll certainly take top Alice honors, I’d like to mention that there’s another huge fan here (who actually is in a tribute band to him) and that’s **zoogirl.** Also, even though I’m sure **Coldfire** is the right answer to Rush, I’ll add \*\*Justin’\*\*s name, 'cause he’s a superfan too!! Okay, here’s one more from me: Marilyn Manson ---

**willthekittensurvive?** (by the way, I LOVE your name!), I will happily accept that answer. Us Big Kahoona’s get to make those decisions, yanno. 🙂 However, I must admit that I had someone else in mind, but that perhaps she doesn’t post as much about him… **freekalette** , my upcoming Feud partner. Okay, to recap, this is what is still outstanding: **Wilco** **Alien Ant Farm** **Brad Renfro** Plus, I’ll add a couple more: **Stephen King** **Aerosmith** **Madonna** **Terry Pratchett** **American Idol** ---

I’m guessing that Terry Pratchett is either **Angua** or **Captain Carrot** , both of them being named after Discworld characters. I’m not sure which of them is more so, though. If we’re going to do authors, though, E. E. “Doc” Smith ---

I am not sure. \*\*Silenus \*\*leads threads about Terry Pratchett fairly often. He seems like the biggest fan to me. There are several other posters with names from Discworld though.
