Re: Famous people from your state
Who wants to volunteer to count how many LIVING famous people their are in the world?
Then we can hunt them all down and lock them in cages underground while we get access to all their cool stuff. |

Re: Famous people from your state
Quote:
EXAMPLES: George Cloony = famous Guillermo Diaz = NOT famous Shaquille O'neal = famous Johan Petro = NOT famous David Bowie = famous Sionhan Fahey = NOT famous Bill Clinton = famous Jesse Steinfeld = NOT famous The basic groups of famous folks are probably athletes, actors/filmmakers, politicians, writers, journalists, and musicians. Of course there are certain oddballs like Osama bin Laden. This wouldn't be too difficult a task but the amount of athletes and actors and musicians whose names we know is sickening. These people should be paying us for occupying space in our brains. I'll just start off the top of my head: ACTORS: Harrison Ford Sean Connery George Clooney Woody Harrelson Will Ferrell Wesley Snipes Tommy Lee Jones Julia Roberts Brad Pitt Matt Damon Leo Dicaprio Jack Nicholson Mark Wahlberg screw this, lets try athletes... screw that, lets try musicians **** this! |
