I was on the cover of one of those "Look who got arrested" magazines. Don't let anyone ever tell you doing meth stops you from living your dreams.

I was in a Canal Villere commercial when I was 10. Got a $15 gift certificate to the grocery as payment. Bought a Thrasher magazine and some candy.

I was on the news once.. got interviewed because the attendant at my local gas station stole a winning lotto ticket.

I was loaded (I was 19, shoot me), and completely blacked out once the light from the camera came on. Didn’t remember anything I said until I watched it on the news at 9PM

I was in the paper a few times in my life, picture when I was five, box scores and articles during my baseball playing days.
So I am due for another 14.5 minutes of Fame


Crap I forgot, I was on ESPN as part of the Thunder and Lightning story about Will Clark and Palmeiro.
Had a picture of Will in high school and I was in the picture, so I may have 12 minutes left

In the fifth grade, I was on "Dial-A-Teacher" with Mrs. Baumgartner.

In 1997, I was on an ESPN Sportscenter highlight. Fred McGriff hit a homerun that landed in a guy's beer cup three or four rows ahead of us. They showed it a bunch of times in slow-mo and you could see my goofy self.

I got to be on a sports spot many years ago in Laffy highlighting our cycling racing team for Pack and Paddle. I think it was channel 7?

I waited in line for 15 minutes at comic con to get a picture with Meredith from The Office. That’s all I got.

I was on the court during a Pelicans/Warriors playoff game last year during a timeout and had to do a trick shot. My trick shot they made me do was to attempt a 3 PT bounce shot within 30 seconds. I hit rim twice but never made it in the basket. That still netted me a Rajon Rondo signed basketball. No idea what would have happened if I was an inch closer and would have made the shot.

I was the GOAT white rapper in high school. I rocked the shows and fricked the hoes. If these damn record labels had any sense, they'd give this cracka his money to make those fire arse tracks, ya heard me?
