+newoldstock Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Does anyone know of any "celebrity" geocachers? Considering the level of activity down in L.A., I'm sure there's at least a few fellow cachers who are celebrities. What about news anchors, radio personalities, politicians, musicians, etc.? Local or national, it doesn't matter. Just curious... *Barefoot* Quote Link to comment

Wil was Ensign Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation. He was also one of the kids in the movie "Stand By Me". Details. Star Trek fans on the Internet pretty much singled out Wesley Crusher for all sorts of abuse--he was young, he was a wünderkind, and he wasn't interested in space nookie . There was (and still is) a USENET group called alt.ensign.wesley.die.die.die. From reading his web site, Wil seems to take his noteriety pretty well.

Kevin is also famous for - though I don't believe he invented it - Six Degrees of Separation. The theory being that every actor in the U.S. is within six degrees of separation from having appeared in a movie with Kevin Bacon. He is starring in a weak TV commercial about Visa Checkcards that uses this theory as the commercial's premise. At one time, there was actually a popular website called www.sixdegrees.com. I got bored with it pretty fast. It reminded me too much of MCI's Friends and Family sign up program.

Well, she said something like that when Alan admitted not knowing who Wil Weaton is. How many here can name the actress that played his mom (Dr. Crusher) without googling/seeking an answer. (I can't) Wil may be talented, but he's not exactly a household name... Like that bald-egotist who played the Captain, everyone knows his name. Two Since I'm here, I'd like to admit that two extremely sucky things happened this weekend. First I rented "Freddie Got Fingered" and then my Venture fell out of my pocket while flying a kite with my kid. The movie was so bad that it qualifies as the worst experience though. Even the commentaries were god-awful to listen to. I still have my III+ so I can't complain too much. Quote Link to comment
