MY 15 SECONDS OF FAME (Part II) ——– by Steve Nadis
It happened again: Call Me Snake earned another mention–and an excerpt–in the Boston Globe column, “Blog Log.” The excerpt in question, not surprisingly, comes from my famous “Vegan” episode, which stands right up there with the “Chinese Restaurant” episode on Seinfeld and the equally celebrated “Soup Nazi” turn.
Sometimes it may seem like it’s all me–just one little man behind a big screen, you might say–but nothing could be further from the truth. Call Me Snake would not be what it is today–or even a microscopic fraction thereof–without the small, but still appreciable, contributions from all of you out there in a place we like to call the blogosphere. So pat yourselves on the back. You deserve it. And you too have earned your 15 seconds of fame, which is how long it takes to read the one-paragraph entry in last Sunday’s Globe.

Yowzah, the Boston Globe! Congrats Snake. Who would have guessed a lil’ ol’ blog about volleyball could lead to fame and fortune? (The fortune part comes when you sell your story to Hollywood….Dr Max looks like Brad Pitt by the way.)
Thanks Doc for the acknowledgement. Also thanks for mentioning the Brad Pitt resemblance, as I always had George Clooney in mind for your role. Kurt Russell could have played Snake 20 or so years ago but now I picture someone younger for the part, maybe Orlando Bloom.
All this feel-good stuff doesn’t fool me for a second. When you get right down to it, it’s all about you, isn’t it?
Sorry you feel that way, "Anon." There’s been a lot of bad news coming out of Iraq these days, and out of Cheney’s mouth, and I was just trying to share the joy. But I see your point: When you get right down to it, as you say, that’s how it is for everybody, isn’t it?
I thought it was all about me. Damn! Now I want my money back on that "Narcissism for Dummies" book.
It IS about you Gatemouth. That was precisely my point. I just said that other thing to try to calm down an individual who seemed needlessly worked up. So please don’t worry. In the meantime, we need to think of a star to play you in the upcoming film, "Call Me Snake." Clooney may be available now that Dr. Max has lined up Brad Pitt. Does that work for you?

Thanks Z. for the flattering comparison (except maybe the tabloid Sun-Times). So far, no one has requested the Belushi role. You’ve got the part!
I go away for a couple of days - just a couple mind you - and find out you are FAMOUS. I want the link to the Globe article. I wanna see your name in print. Congrats.
Hi Windfall — Welcome back. Here’s a link that shows you what appeared in the Globe. Remember I said "15 seconds of fame." If you’re a fast reader, it could be less than 10 seconds: http://www.universalhub.com/1105.html
