Do you have a claim to fame?

Post Reply New Topic

Have you done anything to leave your mark on the world? While I have been in times and places that positioned me with famous people, it wasn't until I wrote a little song that I was even aware that I was credited in my own right. I had to Google my own name to learn that.

Has anyone produced something they felt inconsequencial at the time, to find out later they were attributed to their work?

The only thing I can think of without deep thought is that I was ranked #4 in one aspect on an Xbox 360 game with over 50,000 participants

Probably having the most posts on any website. I'm also saying this in a neutral way, because I've never been a bragger.

I translated into Polish some short stories (4 of them) by Lovecraft that haven't been published in Poland, before.

I dislocated my shoulder while having a blood sample taken. Does that count?

My knee's were in the national press & on television in 1977.

I'm pretty well known where I live for playing the piano.

I was on Much On Demand on the channel Much Music back in high school. Also, I was filmed by BPM at an AutoErotique dance party concert in March.

I'm one of just two X-Men fanfic writers now, who still write in its TCP subgenre.

I modeled for a book cover with my horse when I was in my early teens.

Off the top of my head I recall a poster on a basketball message board I lurk at was using one of my drawings as their avatar. It completely caught me by surprise. They must have gotten it from my deviantART page but I had never posted on that board before so they had no way of knowing me.

I'm famous for two things:

1. Having a 25-inch penis.

2. Being a horrible liar.

I have made some records before. I am published in three books that are sold internationally. I saved a roller coaster from demolition that is now ranked in the world. I have been on television before (shows and commercials). In 1988 I turned down a part in a major motion picture to become a teacher.

I placed in a time capsule that is sealed in the cornerstone of a 200,000 square foot building the details of a major discovery pertaining to an ancient civilization. It also contains the theoretical location of the missing capstone of the Great Pyramid of Egypt---which is connected to the details of the ancient civilization.

I don't have a good claim to fame. An ex girlfriend had a pretty crazy one which is that her grandmother was murdered by Harold Shipman (a GP from the UK who was one of the most prolific serial killers in history based on confirmed murders - he eventually hung himself in jail). Interestingly a lot of his murders occurred in the same towns that two of the UK's other most notorious serial killers - the moors murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley - operated in.

I have managed to rack up 363,000 miles on my newest vehicle. Yes, they are all from me as I am the original owner. However, I don't know if that speaks to my legendary mechanical skills as much as it does to my need to keep it going for 14 years to avoid having to get financed on another new vehicle.
