What is your claim to fame?

I am almost willing to guarantee that my name has appeared in more publications than anyone here. Both as a writer and publisher. Working dailies with your own byline for years will do that to you. I tried to add it up once but it’s somewhere above 10,000.

I wrote the 100,000th article on the English wikipedia.

Watson is fully equipped??? :slight_smile:

My only CTF is that I have some very famous ancestors from American History.

I’m listed in the playtesting section of a D&D book. Also, when I was in high school a local TV news show shot some footage in my high school history class and so you could sometimes see the back of my head on the news whenever they needed some stock footage of a high school class. Also, I contributed to the alt.fan.conan-obrien FAQ in days of yore, so my name can still be found there.

I wrote a technical book that stayed at #1 in its Amazon category for over six months.

I remember that. It was such a cool* thing, not just for you but for the SDMB feeling proud vicariously through you!

*The nerdiest kind of cool

Played with and against capped international soccer players??

According to The Oracle of Bacon, my Bacon number is 3.

I also had a profile written about me in a UK stamp collector’s magazine.

I’m not the guy you’re asking, but my Bacon Number is 2. Maybe that’s my claim to fame?

I wrote a book on drugs that got translated into French, Spanish, Chinese, Slovak, and Polish. That was just before the USSR fell. Drug use soared in Eastern Europe when the police stopped handy-handed suppression. The Polish government put out two special editions of the book that were distributed through official channels to provide information. Made me a millionaire. In zlotys. At 1300 to the dollar.

It’s really my BFF and and my GF (two different people) who are the C-list Forrest Gumps. One has skateborded with Jason Lee, stunt worked in a Morgan Fairchild (Morrrrrrgannnn Fairchillllld) film (to name a couple of things) the other high-fived Russell Westbrook just the other day.

I was the President of the United States between 1969 and 1974.

You’re Henry Kissinger!?!?!

Shhhhhhhhhh!

Oh, oh! I was interviewed on 1010 WINS radio about a street fair I attended. They played it over and over and I was so mortified. I barely understood myself, I talk so fast. And I giggled. It was awful.

Oh! And I met Biggirl once, and she told me I had a pretty smile

Did I talk fast and giggle? Because I’ve been known to do that.

Honestly, I don’t remember. It was the Dopefest in NYC about 6 months after 9/11.

I think it was in the foyer(?) Of that restaurant we all ate at. Was it the Americana?

I remember them having a $7 pb&j on the menu. I had to order one for later. I was disappointed with it. White bread, grape jelly, creamy peanut butter.

I was mentioned on the Den of Geek website recently.

I am friends with someone who had a significant role in a movie that was Oscar-nominated for Best Picture.
mmm
