I think it was Andy Warhol that said everyone will experience a moment of "fame" in their lifetime.
What do you imagine yours will be? Or, maybe you've already had that momement. What was it?

Given my propensity to walk aimlessly in the wilderness a few times a year, I kind of figure I'll make the news after being mauled by a grizzly bear or a cougar.

    I will enjoy a brief moment of posthumous fame when it's discovered that I was the only person never to achieve any sort of fame at all in my lifetime.

    Awww, c'mon now, surely you can let your guard down for a moment and come up with something a little more fantastic than that. That was kind of funny, though.

    My 15 minutes will come when I get arrested for joking about trying to pull off a Guy Fawkes on the Capital building.

    I guess not. There was a father protesting the treatment of divorced father's in England (I think) in regard to their place in raising the child. He dressed himself up in a Batman costume, evaded detection by the royal guards, and scaled the wall of Parliament (or someplace like that). It makes for a funny picture.

    No Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up Parliment in 1605. Below is a link.

    For all my braggadocio, my fifteen minutes will probably go something like this:

    Now where are those pictures? :)

    Seeing as the way the "contract" thread is going I will probably become an investment banker charged with fraud and thrown in prison for life.

    I don't know what is classified by fame, but I've been in the papers and on the news a few times. Most notably is when I was part of lobbyist group in Canada.
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    Everybody was shouting my name on the Lowlands festival in 2004 (http://www.lowlands.nl). My name is Theo.

    In the end, I got interviewed by lots of papers and internet sites. And I was a national radio a couple of times, just because lots of drunken and stoned people at this festival were screaming my name. In the end it was fun, but I'm glad it's over.
