Seriously. Poker has Mr. Cotter. Fark.com has Will Wheaton. Foxnews has Colmes.

We need a b-lister to call our own.

Any 2nd tier celebrities frequent this site?

Is Phish some sort of party job band?

hmm..... my husband is an actor, he has been in 2 independent films and is starting his 3rd in Jan. (He plays the lead role of a serial killer)

I guess he would be more "d" list than "B" but you could say you had him from the start :p

If we fail, we could also just use one of our posters. I mean at least one Generalite has to be an internet celebrity.

You mean John Stewart the singer/songwriter or the alias of The Green Lantern?

That's the one, but he's not really a pseudo celebrity. First thing that came to mind, though...

Yeah, me, obviously.... well sort of. At least nobody knows who—or what—I am, and everyone's trying to figure it out.

HotRodia is an even better example of this kind of person, or Myrth.

Or do they not count? They're at least celebrities in this local community.... ;)

Well, Czardas, the problem is that they're not widely known outside of NS.

And he'd fit so well into most of the raging debates. :D

I propose a "draft Karl" drive.

Question then becomes: has he even heard of NS, let alone played it?

Or are you going to keep trying different plausible names until you hit on the right one? :p

I propose typing our names into Google and see who gets the most results. For example:

Safalra - 12,900
Eutrusca - 2,580
Neo Kervoskia - 873
Euroslavia - 536
Kyleslavia -12

Obviously this is a totally representative and unbiased way of gauging celebrity.

She has:

1. Eye appeal

2. The type of fame/imfamy that invites satire/disdain.

No, you have to be a b-list actor first. No one can pity (but take guilty delight in,) your inevitable fall from the limelight if we knew you before!

Unless "those biscuits" is somehow a reference to suicide or consumption of fecal matter, in which case you may instead imagine that I am making a devastatingly witty response in the following blank space:
