Poll question: What annoys you about being famous?
Edited on Tue Sep-09-03 09:19 PM by ozymandius
It happens every time. You go to the grocery store. You open your mail. You answer the damned phone. Someone is always looking for a piece of you.

1. Wow!
Look at the dirty underwear go! Glad to know I'm not the only one who has that problem.

2. Where's the option for...
"The nightly orgies really zap my energy after a while"?

4. I'm sorry...
but if the nightly orgies are sapping your strength, you don't deserve to be famous. Send them to my house.

7. Too Busy To Pet My Cat
Send the orgies to Matcom, GopIsEvil or to Catwoman.

Pundits to Will Pitt, freepers to Skinner and Elad and "less than informed" newbies to Kephra.

My apology to the other 20,000 active DU'ers I've left out, but a dial-up and a fat, hairy cat allows me only so much time....

8. you forgot the number 1 issue...
...people hitting you up for money.

I wasn't especially famous but I was famous enough for that one. Ugh.

I have to say, the free food and booze were the best thing about being "famous" or notorious or whatever I was. Also the concerts, cruises, trips, etc. People have no idea how many freebies come to rich people and VIPs.

11. Exactly! Fame forced me to switch to slip-ons!
But then I was continually getting mobbed at the Wal-Mart Dr. Scholl's insole display.

(Heavy sigh) You can't win --
