    I'm mistaken for Neil Patrick Harris all the time, so I have brief moments of fame. It's sad cause I think he's really ugly.

    I like how they give you a bread roll and deep-fried shrimp. As if you NEEDED appetizers with that monstrosity.

    Had high gloss photos (double side, not centerfold) of me in the biggest germanspeaking tattoo magazine some thirty years ago...

    I have been mistaken for Brad Pitt if that counts.

    Headed the release of an indie expansion for Thief that made the rounds in all the gaming magazines back in 2005, made the rounds again when we released bonus material in 2006 and 2007. So "nerd-famous in a niche gaming group" I suppose.

    My biggest "fame" is being in a Youtube Video with 1.4 million Views. Hardly famous but most likely the most myself as a Person has been seen by other People.

    No, no, no and no. I'm so painfully average it burns.

    Maybe when I was at a baseball game as a kid the camera panned over to me for a few seconds when I caught a foul ball?? About the only possible "famous" thing I could think of lol

    Oo.. when I was in high school in Hawaii I did outrigger paddling. Me and a team mate were sitting on the side (not enough room on boats for everyone at once) and some Japanese tourists wanted to take photos with us. Lol.

    My little bits of fame come from.

    A small poem published in a book of poems by kids.

    multiple mention's in cricket Hand books and local news for cricket results and achivments ( I hold both very good and very bad league records haha)

    I was kind of a big name on the skyrim mod scene when I made mods and that was the game every one was playing.

    Did some bit work for a meh indie game so I sit in the credits on that.

    Aww. Me too, besides winning a couple of contests/awards when I was in elementary school. And honors/dean's list stuff in college.

    It's ok to be average. Most people are. I tend to think we all get our 15 minutes eventually, though. Whether big or small.

    I was once in the local newspaper because I graduated as the best that year (by a margin of like 0.05). They even got me mixed up with the 2nd person (she was way easier on the eyes) in the text, but got it right under the picture that accompanied the article. That is pretty much my only claim to fame and I'm glad, because fuck do I hate to stick out.

    We got to go to the release of the book at a decently large bookfaire, and we split up the initial sales amongst ourselves.

    my home girl at work writes all the little "meet the employee" stuff for our website. since im the shipping guy she said i was "lord of the box". i've talked to a couple customers when they come in the store and they're like "ohhh, you're the lord of the box!" that's always pretty fun.

    Was popular throughout junior high because I could dunk and was only 6'0. Left school in 8th grade due to extreme social anxiety so that ended my basketball fame lol.
    Fast forward to my mid-twenties where I was showcased on the Anheuser-Busch "Busch Satellite Network" show called "Custom POS Live" that was seen by 800+ wholesalers across the US. I showed people how to use a speed press system and broke down the huge amount of savings a wholesaler would benefit from by using the system for vinyl application. I was consulted by the host a few times and spoke on the show a few episodes about various sign related things.

    For the most part I have been pretty low-key and that is the way I like it.

    From when i was 11 until 20-21ish i was in the local newspaper almost every week and then once or twice on national TV cuz of my sport and how talented i was.
    Was pretty well known in several cities where i competed alot but since i was forced into early retirement cuz of injury etc i don't think a lot of ppl know who the hell i am :P
