Laim claim to fame

goldfoot  said about 2 years ago  or at  3:46PM on Wednesday, July 22 2009 in stupidity

There's a lame clame to fame hash tag thing happening on twitter.

I thought it might make for a good thread.

Go!

Fuck it... I'm gonna lay it all out there.

I used to do Eskimo Joe's website.

i snogged the guitarist from nine inch nails.


magicpants  said about 2 years ago:

And here I was thinking that Eskimo Joe website thing was going to be hard to top...


andyr  said about 2 years ago:

lame claims to fame only, pants.

and what's yours goldfoot?


email  said about 2 years ago:

I might even be able to top it myself...

I was on the intro to Super Request for a year.

Snap. I had a pretty boring adolescence 1000kms from the closest capital city. It made me feel as though I was connected to the rest of the country.

The spelling in the thread title, perhaps?

This post is mine.

I called Michael Tunn a cunt on air once.


email  said about 2 years ago:

ha ha - what for __v?


__v  said about 2 years ago:

It was when he was doing the request show, we requested ''can your pussy do the dog'' by The Cramps and when he said ''give us a jay!'' we all shouted (as prearranged) GET FUCKED YA CUNT.

Subversive activity from drunk teenagers in Westmead!

I think they faded the song up so it was a bit muffled, but I still claim the point.


Mo  said about 2 years ago:

i quite liked tunny he was good on request fest


email  said about 2 years ago:

I realised the other day that Rosie has been doing that show for over 10 years. Crazy.

Moby once asked me to play a Guns'n'Roses song when I was DJing.


Lilo  said about 2 years ago:

i have an uber lame claim to fame. So lame that I'm not game to write it here.

He once gave me the eye in the bathrooms at the LATW the Living End did. Hrm. Hawaiian shirts must have a code I don't know about.

Also, I was in a photoshoot for one of those advice columns for That's Life. The joys of working in the mailroom.


Mo  said about 2 years ago:

i have probably posted mine before being the self aggrandising cunt i am


__v  said about 2 years ago:

Yeah. I reckon I've got a pretty good little inventory of lame anecdotes to bore the grandkids with.


tangy_zizzle  said about 2 years ago:

I was an extra in the acclaimed Nick Giannopoulos film, The Wogboy.


mealzebub  said about 2 years ago:

My boobs were in Cosmo magazine.


Psyclops  said about 2 years ago:

Once while walking through David Jones in the 90's, Monica Tropaga was singing some jazz instore. As my mates and i (who had our backpacks on) were passing by, she came over to me and placed a gloved finger on my nose and purred ''you boys have been to day school...I'll take you to night school.''

I call bullshit!

I gave Richard Gill a wristy in a toilet cubicle at Flinders St Station.

I'm no mathematician (or whatever decides degrees) but if my father met Churchill, and I met my father (obviously) how many degrees away am I from them. A stretch, but whatevz...


spaceman1  said about 6 months ago:

Does that mean we're now three degrees away from stalin and hitler because we're talking to you?


SallySimpson  said about 6 months ago:

Probably. Jump on that band wagon, my friend. This is the Lame Claim To Fame thread.


Cooperative Music  said about 6 months ago:

My father was Winston Churchill's vet.

Now I think about it, my Dad was the Queen's vet. Well, the corgis rather than her.
And only in the summer months when she/ they were staying at Balmoral Castle


Morris Iemma  said about 6 months ago:

I had sex with a vet that met a dog which was once owned by Ryan Adams


SallySimpson  said about 6 months ago:

Morris, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that you dated Ryan Adams.


theneworphan  said about 6 months ago:

I once had a jam with a guy who once played in a band with a drummer who played guitar sometimes on tour for Besnard Lakes. My friends at Meredith last year loved that story.

When we were 13 me and my mate went to Countdown (1976/7) and saw the saints mime i'm stranded.I was gutted when i realised the amps were just props. And impressed by the size of Chris Bailey.He sat on the edge of the stage, from the side he looked like a pyramid.

I keep reading the title of this thread as ''Liam claim to fame''.

All I can think of is the time I stole some of Liam Finn's beer.
