15 Minutes of Fame

By Rose Stricker ( Contact ) March 21, 2008

I have decided that this is how I want to earn my 15 minutes of fame. Yes, I would like to chase down, on foot, some punk one-third my age after I've retired.

I find this adventure far more satisfying than gaining fame by, oh say, sleeping with a governor or spending two years in a bathroom.

How about you? How would you like to earn your 15 minutes of fame?

15 minutes? That's all I get? Seriously, I get that when my twin nephews visit my in-laws and ask "when's Unca Jim coming over?" That's all the fame I need.
And bwheelock... start that garden! :o)

bwwheelock, go for it, i think that is a great idea. Iam sure you know more about gardening than the ones trying to put you down. I get my fame everyday just by trying to help someone no matter how big or small.

I'd like to get my 15 minutes by appearing on "America's Funniest Home Videos" when someone tapes me falling and hurting myself.

Currently, I think I'd like 15 minutes of fame if I helped organize a community garden in Janesville's 4th Ward/Look West neighborhoods. I am continually reminded that I don't know that much about gardening, but it seems like it might be a neat idea.

Well, if I could be interviewed by Rose Stricker at my hometown radio station (WCLO), that would be all the fame I'd need. I think the ratings would "SkyRocket"!

Already had mine...

In the video where Emmit Smith breaks the rushing record, you can see me running down the tunnel.
