DanSJVDavis · 06-27-2009, 04:38 AM

Well there's a guy in Sunbury, Ohio trying to become a published author. I'll keep you posted on whether that guy makes it.

I can't wait, since you only live about 20mins from me!!!!

My Butt Hurts · 06-27-2009, 06:06 PM

We've got Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Lou Graham (Foreigner), and Taye Diggs.
Hoff went to my high school and Diggs went to the district that I teach in now.
And we have Teddy Geiger. God help you if you actually know who that is, but I do have one of his songs on my ipod.
Oh, and we have Arthur Shawcross, famous serial killer.

LOL@Kim.

06-27-2009, 07:31 PM

Woooooooo MBH! Lots of celebs rolling outta your town!!!

I went to high school with John Legend! P.S. Legend is not really his last name LOL

DanSJVDavis · 06-27-2009, 08:39 PM

I went to school with Lewis Geter, who once played for the New York Knicks. Don't know if he's still active anywhere. Marilyn Manson was born in Canton, Ohio.

oh, and I got to ride the Batmobile to school back in middle school. Not something I tend to brag about.

Guest1 · 06-27-2009, 10:27 PM

We have Selena, Farrah Fawcett, Lou Diamond Phillips and uh, I think that's about it, lol.

D Bergy · 06-28-2009, 03:00 AM

I would brag about riding in the Batmobile. Even if I could ride in it now!

A turbine powered car would be awesome.

DanSJVDavis · 06-28-2009, 03:20 AM

It was winter too and snowing...........yep, the old batmobile, not the new, winter, snow, sleet....... Batman was pretty lucky he lived in warm Gotham.

Jeff D. · 06-28-2009, 05:10 AM

I'm from New Orleans so all of the New Orleans blues and jazz artists from there, Mardi Gras, snowballs, the list goes on.

Then I moved to Farmington, CT where 50 cent lived and had one of his huge house parties which was on MTV. Before he lived there Mike Tyson owned the home.

Now I live in Huntsville, AL and I don't know how many famous people are from here but I doubt many unless they are renown in the rocket science business.lol

06-28-2009, 03:21 PM

Jeff, GO BACK TO NEW ORLEANS!

I stayed there for a week last year & had a BLAST! Oh the people, the places to eat, the DRINKS! Yummy!

Mark33180 · 06-28-2009, 06:07 PM

Baton Rouge and New Orleans have THE BEST FOOD around!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff D. · 06-28-2009, 06:18 PM

Thats right Mark

forum contributor · 06-28-2009, 10:14 PM

How the hell did you get the chance to ride in the Batmobile?!

DanSJVDavis · 06-28-2009, 11:29 PM

They had a contest back in the '80s on TV28 Kid's Club and I entered.

I may be wrong, but doesn't Anne Rice the author live there?
She writes about it all the time.

danman · 06-29-2009, 10:35 AM

The only famous person from my village has been dead for over 140 years....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_Elizabeth_Jones

She trained with Florence Nightingale as a nurse and set up a hospital for the poor in Liverpool.
I can see her house when I look out my front window.

Mark33180 · 06-29-2009, 03:43 PM

Yes i believe she is from new orleans

merrywidow · 06-29-2009, 04:07 PM

whats famous about where i live?
it has a great suicide spot, beachy head. about 25-30 people jump to thier deaths of the cliffs.

any famous people at my school?

sharon xx

Lisa5326 · 06-29-2009, 06:46 PM

Yeah Mark is right, we saw one (there are a few I think) of her houses while there...

DanSJVDavis · 06-29-2009, 06:57 PM

Yeah, Anne Rice lives in New Orleans. She was throwing a huge Halloween party while I was down there a number of years ago, but you needed to get reservations to go like a year in advance, so we weren't there. Still, there's quite a bit to do down there during Halloween anyway. It's much like Mardi Gras during Halloween.

danman · 06-30-2009, 12:20 PM

I've read most (if not all) of her books. Most of them when I was younger.

She had a great book a few years ago about the early life of Jesus. I'm not sure if she followed this one up with another chapter. I haven't seen any in the bookshop.

I love her discriptions of historical events, I suppose she turned me onto my love of Historical novels.
