My uncle is Wolf. Y'know, from the Gladiators.

~ Seann William Scott is my (somewhat distant) cousin (Dukes of Hazzard, The Rundown)

~I am a decendent of Sir Walter Scott (the poet)

~ My friend's Grandfather beat up Hitler in High School (and then he killed four people with his name after rising to power)

~ I am the grandaughter/niece of the Anthony Boys who ran the unions of Pittsburgh in the 70's and 80's

Beat up Hitler?

Win.

I'm blood related to pope clement the 10th

i dunno if that counts as someone famous, but hey, its a start

Sweet!

I once stole Jimmy Carter's pen.

...except that they don't share a house.

I'm a descendant of Webster, and a relative of General Krebs.

Right, but I do believe they live very close to eachother. (Have you been there...?) (Because I have...) (I could easily be proven wrong, though.)

I'm told I am a blood relative of the person who brought the bleeding heart flower to North America. Not terribly famous, but they look really nice!

Also, my step grandfather claimed that he went to school with James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek).

You forgot being brother to Orlando Bloom.

oh I know you didn't just steal my (bridget's) claim to fame.

*three snap thingy*

Me and my sister went to school with John Fogerty's daughter, my sister knew her, but I didn't.

That's...that's about it.

I am related to Sam Bass, a semi-famous train-robber from the 1800's. My wife is related to the outlaw Jesse James. (Anybody notice a trend?)

I'm related to someone who died in Age of Empires II.

My last name is Kimble, and according to my mum and grandfather, my family used to be some sort of aristocrats from the town Greater Kimble in England. My grandfather's mum came from England, and he's a bit of an anglophile, so he researched us as far back as we can go. Before we were the lords of Kimble, our family was Celembre (who were Romans living in Britian), who apparently were also some sort of aristocrats.

Anyway, in our family tree in the 1400s lies a name that I found very familar, Sir John Fastolf. Later on when i replayed the campains from AoK, I realised that he's a guy that you have to kill in a Joan of Arc mission. Go figure.

On a less historic note, my dad used to be best friends with Steven Van Zan, or "Little stevie" from Bruce Springsteen's band. He was a friend of Bruce's too, and even played baseball with the guy, but bruce always called him either "right field" or "stevie's friend".

I know a guy who is a decent of Billy the Kid.

Myself -> Friend/Drummer in our band -> Uncle who owns a recording studio -> Knows a guy that works in radio -> Knows a guy that used to work with various bands who once met -> Rick Rubin -> System of a Down

Pathetic

I went to junior high with a kid who was Tom Greens nephew.

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]You forgot being brother to Orlando Bloom.[/QUOTE]

Ah yes, I almost forgot. I really should keep in touch with the guy.

......So I win the thread now, right?

Fixed


Oh and yes, it is pathetic

The guy who holds the land speed record went to my old school a long time before me.
My aunt and uncle narrowly avoided murder at the hands of Simon Mpungose aka "Hammerman" - a briefly famous serial murderer in S.Africa.

-Tony-, Wolf doesn't live far from my hometown. He's in Bexleyheath, right? This area has loads to offer to the world. We also have such greats as Jeremy Beadle, Brian Jacks and Gary Rhodes, all obviously international A-list celebrities!

Sounds about right. It's right on the border of Kent in the next-county-that-I-keep-getting-confused-with, or something.

You mean London?

I am Jack Black.

Sigh... fame.
Everyone I know is, at most, separated from Kevin Bacon by six degrees. Maybe a third of the people I know are the stars of their own lives.

My family is friends with a very famous rugby (league) player, but I know better than to post his name on the internet, when my name can be googled so easily.

I killed the second coming of Jesus.

I'm Ron Jeremy's best friend and stunt cock.

(lol)

Uh, I'm not dead...

I don't know anyone even remotely famous.

There ya go. What a poo-head.
EDIT: Oops, I mean Custer is, not you. :p

My great grandfather discovered vitamin E.

My sister's friend's parents are personal friends of George W. Bush.

My girlfriend's boss is Susan Sarandon's best friend, and her roommate is an assitant producer who worked with all kinds of famous actors and filmmakers. She supposedly made out with Jeff Bridges at a party on the set of The Door in the Floor.

A door in the floor? Man I could really fall in that one.

Your sister's friend is money?
