Is anybody famous on Agnostic?
Anybody a member of a famous person's entourage?
Don Cheadle and one of the guys from the show Heroes retweeted me once. I'm kind of a big deal.
I'm famous in my own mind....does that count?
Oh, I was gonna use that one!
Eddie Winslow from Family Matters once like a photo of mine on Instagram.....I don’t know if that counts
Hahaha.... Wait til my eternally unfinished 1980s-Retro-Seaside-Sci-Fi novel comes out... I'll be loved by millions. Millions I tell you!
Or... Not.
Hey, it's got 'God' in it... He doesn't come out of it well. ?
You must finish it!
Nope. Just a dull, ordinary life.
You are already famous though.
@Ellatynemouth -- Shh...! 'Tis best not to upset the natives.
I'm not famous, however I did go to school with Richard Linklater. Also, Rex Tillerson went to my school though he was several years ahead of me. I also was engaged to a man who won an Emmy for best cinematography on a short film many years ago (don't remember the exact catagory).
My cousin was friends with Earl Campbell. They went to the same high school.
I also dated a man who was friends with the Winter Brothers (they grew up in the same town).
I wouldn't know - but I'm infamous in my area. (Have/had a great many friends with a Wikipedia entry.)
Do tell, Petter!
@crazycurlz I was the owner/publisher of three magazines. It came with the territory.
Many became my personal friends, ranging from famous criminals to pop stars to knighted dignitaries, to sports champions, to .......
Come to think of it, I've just had a drink and natter in my local bar with a past world F1 champion - in power boats. We're going out together somewhere, anywhere, tomorrow in order to get away from our wives, who will be glued to the TV watching every second of the Royal Wedding. We're quite content to watch a summary on the news, later. However, when the Rugby season is on, it is our wives who escape the TV !!!
@Petter lol you always fascinate. Magazines? Interesting...have you added to your autobio? I don't remember this in there...
@crazycurlz I haven't added to my auto-bio for ages. I must do so. As it says in the title "History Happens". I really have been a spectator as things passed me by.
@Qualia Is that like a Dummerman? We have one of those. ??
@AdorkableMe well idk, mine are too smart for me! They'd do my taxes for me if they could ~8D
@AdorkableMe here's mine being on fire
@Qualia This is our 2nd Doberman rescue. Our first was a small female and so smart. She probably knew 20+ commands in hand signals. This big fella just isn't that bright. Lol. But he loves us well... ?
@Qualia, @AdorkableMe Had a dog like that once. Knew loads of hand signals and commands - and ignored them if they didn't fit in with her plans!!
@AdorkableMe He was just being a jumping fool. Loves to launch off that porch, much as it makes me cringe now, it's 2 ft+ off the ground+ the air he catches
Both of ours are crazy smart. The old lady is now "entitled" tho, the boy is all about making mommy happy, even if he's not sure. (you can see the question mark over his head sometimes... do I do the thing? I love mai mommeee Imma do what she wants" lol
Hand signals are fun
@Petter Sounds like our girl.... but she's going to be 11 so... the boy I can call off fence fighting the back neighbor chihuahua & squirrels.
If I were famous, I wouldn't let anyone know. But, I don't want to be famous, not really. However, someone famous may like people adoring them for no particular reason.
Those are called "celebrities" and make a living out of pandering to people with dull and dreary lives, whilst the rest of us are bored stiff.
I had Margie Clarke at my door yesterday looking for her cat. Not well known outside the UK but she stole the scene in a movie called "Letter to Brezhnev" in the 80`s
She was brilliant in Letter To Brezhnev. That's a great film.
I remember her looking radiant and beautiful whilst doing a job that's "fucking disgusting" (working in a chicken factory). I still remember various scenes:-
A man at a party who very coldly asked the female protagonist if she wanted sex. She responded with: "while there are dogs in the street?"
And the female protagonist again, laid in bed and opening her eyes when hearing the noise of the letterbox rattle after 'the letter' is pushed through by the postman.
@Ellatynemouth Lives round the corner from me. She`s a rabid conspiracy theorist.
Ha ha! Oh dear.
I hope her cat turned up anyway.
My sister once dated the Tommy John.
@Akfishlady A baseball player who had a surgical procedure named after him that repairs pitching arms.
Possibly, although fame can be fleeting.
Is Bart Erhman a Professor from Chapel Hill, SC, or Dr. Anthony Pinn from Rice Univ. qualify as being not only renown but renown. They are still living and talking, lecturing, debating and winning their disputes.
From 2003 to late 2007, I was a well-known secular activist within the church-state and atheist communities. My work brought me to the highest upper echelons of organized atheism - the Freethought Heads Group, which may no longer exist now that everyone is organized with the Secular Coalition for America, on whose Board I served for 2 years.
I was at the 2007 Atheist Alliance International conference in Washington DC and met all the "4 Horsemen" - a drunk Christoper Hitchens, a snobby Sam Harris, a quiet Daniel Dennett, and a limp-handshaking Richard Dawkins. I even sat next to Dawkins at an SCA Board meeting that weekend. Since I was there as a presenter, I did not act very fangirl about meeting these guys.
I feel that organized atheism peaked at this event, and things in the secular community seemed to go downhill from there. I dropped down to local groups as controversies like Elevatorgate shook the community. I still watch from a distance but no longer participate in atheist-focused groups. I may have dinner or picnics with the local Humanists in my area, they're all wonderful people. But that's about it.
I'm still quite active in the church-state separation advocacy community and am getting back into that form of activism after taking a year off following the untimely death of my spouse. But I'm not famous. Although I am giving a talk in June, so I'll be "famous" for a group of 2 dozen or so political activists.
You are famous to me. You are infamous to some. LOL
Dawkins does look like a limp hand-shaker. ?
Hell yeah... anybody that makes it to level 8 is famous to me.... even the nuts. I learn from them too...lol
