I'm partially responsible for a "We reserve the right to refuse service" sign at a bar in Seattle, WA.

Pale fame (or infamy) at best, but that's all I got. And we did have fun. :)

Yeah, I'm really David Cameron in disguise.

Or did you mean the prison rather than the Oxford club? :wink:

My closest brush with fame: as a college student I designed costumes for a semi-pro summer production of Shaw's "Arms and the Man," which was performed in a barn in New Jersey. Piper Perabo (later to scale the heights of fame as the star of Coyote Ugly) played Raina. I still find it funny whenever I see her in something that I've seen her in her underwear (for costume fitting purposes, natch).
I have a really good story from the summer I interned at the Williamstown Theater Festival involving an Oscar-winning actress, but I'm not going to say her name for fear of prosecution. :D Basically she was really nasty about wanting a particular salad that didn't exist, from a restaurant that was closed, which I begged, borrowed, and stole to get for her, and immediately (not on purpose!) dropped and spilled it all over the floor of my car. I can never see her without remembering that she ate car floor salad. Moral of the story: be nice to interns.
I had a friend who worked the ticket booth for a movie theater in the town where America's Best Actress lives who said that she tried to buy a ticket for one of her kids to see an R-rated movie without adult supervision. When my friend refused to sell said ticket, ABA threw an under-the-breath hissy-fit; friend stood firm til ABA backed off, and then he blew (or so he says) cig smoke in her face in brave bit of superiority. No retaliation followed, which says much of ABA imo.

Also, my bro' works part-time at the booth of a major art-house in NYC and has met nice celebs like Patrick Macnee and Elaine May, and ridiculously snotty ones, like Molly Ringwald, in his time there.
They call me Threadkiller.

*Chocolates shaped like mushrooms - they contain no actual mushroom.
is this the food(not necessarily the brand) your referring to? (see link below)

because if so should mention that they are most delicious and that being the "goddess of baking" sound quite famous (at least to me) :D

The text size on these small hi-resolution monitors is driving me nuts, I first read that as 'Art does often irritate life."

No, I got the recipe out of a Cadbury's cook book. The recipe is here, but I don't have any photos.
So little space, so much to say.

My name is on the acknowledgment page of a best selling author. Tricia actually noticed it. hee hee.

I entered a contest to give the author ideas on using things in a world without ANY power.... I suggested a Bicycle trailer. I was one of the winners and got my name in the third volume of the series PLUS the whole series autographed. :mrgreen:

Famous? Hardly. Name in the paper a few times. No big deal. Though, I am mom's favorite. She told me so...

I am in fact a published author... of about four sentences in a coffee-table-ish book. Also, the back of my head has been in my local newspaper twice.
