Today I came across an old thread titled I wonder if there are any TV/movie/sports stars on the SDMB. , started by The Great Zamboni . (This thread is really old, so please don’t bump it.)
Hijacked in the first few posts, no one really got around to guessing which Dopers might be actual famous people. So here are my guesses:
lieu is actually Tom Green
7 up yours is actually Orlando Jones
Ex Machina is really Richard Marcinko
and one not so famous:
MaggietheCat is really my cat, Maggie, who secretly posts when I’m at work and/or sleeping.
So, who do you think is famous?
lieu has to be famous, at least on a township level. No one with that kind of rear artillery goes unnoticed for long.
** Eve ** Is really the late, great Margeret Dumont or possibly Theda Bara.
**Ukelele Ike ** Is none other than Don Ho.

Scylla might just be NPR personality Ira Glass.

Well, really!
I know Ukulele Ike , and he is actually Vice President Cheney. That’s why you never see Cheney on the news–he’s too busy on the SDMB.
Oh, I have it on good authority that Oxymoron and Oxyboyfriend are really Liza Minnelli and David Gest . . .
hmmm…who is famous indeed?
Our politician Dopers:
matt_mcl is former Prime Minister of Canada Brian Mulroney.
Coldfire served as Justice Minister in South Africa during the Botha era, and is unable to return to that country, otherwise he’d be prosecuted for criminal acts.
UncleBeer is former Governor of Ohio Jim Rhodes.
manhattan is a former Queens Borough President, but I forget which one.
Finally, I, Governor Quinn , am former Australian Ambassador to Ireland, Premier of Queensland, and DLP boss Vince Gair.
How did I do in my guesses?
lieu’s too cool to be Tom Green. More on the level of George Carlin, I’d like to think.
manhattan is actually Dick Grasso. The real reason he had to stop moderating is that after getting canned from the NYSE, he had to go earn a living and didn’t have as much time to moderate.
i was on cops once for soliciting an underage prostitute, does that make me famous?
I’ve always secretly believed that the reason Scylla posts all that right wing stuff is to hide the fact that he’s really Bill Clinton .
Actually, Scylla is Batman
Eve is an advance scou/sleeper agent of the cylons
and Sperfur is the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover. Still trying to get the dirt on everyone else.
OUCH! Shouldn’t comments like this belong in the Pit?
Do you pronounce Ike as ee-kay so that ir rhymes too?
You’re all famous in my eyes.
I’m famous. Just nobody knows it yet.
Why am I so sure that jarbabyj is actually Britney Spears?
Rue DeDay is, naturally, Dave Barry . I am not making this up!
Naw, lieu has got to be Kevin Smith. Who else could talk so eloquently about Adventures of the Ass?
Ed Zotti is Cecil Adams (now that Cecil has become Batman).
Lobsang is John Cleese, SanguineSpider is Madeline Kahn, and sperfur is Jeff Probst on acid.
Cervaise is Rex Reed.
