Debunked is a stretch. He said what he said and it is not really the reality of what happened back in the day. As for who put it in quotes that is for another thread. The "Quote" you posted had "invented" in quotes. You did it by proxy, good enough for me.

Admitting to something means I was wrong, my comment was geared towards his little investor gig he tried his hand at, it all handed in Calif, he milked many people out of money that be promised them. BTW, what does this have to do with the topic of Celebrities on DL ?

Gore and 90 plus percent of the rest of career politicians will whore themselves out to advance their careers. Spin it anyway you want but Gore has said some really outrageous things and his reference to him have been a major part in the "creation" of the internet is just one of them.

Vint Cerf credits him, which is plenty good enough for me.

Nicole Kidman was on my flight

From BNA to LAX last fall. She was the last to get on and made eye contact /spoke to everyone who was paying attention. No one bothered her during the flight, but as soon as we landed, the paparazzi was there.

I'm about 92.7% I saw Richard Dreyfuss in the JFK skyclub in terminal C last (Sunday March , 30) night. Did anybody else see him who can confirm or deny? I was pretty jet lagged as I had just flown in from SVO - plus a few drinks in - so my eyes may have been deceiving me...

I've been told by quite a few people that I resemble Richard Dreyfus, but I wasn't in JFK last night. Maybe it was him.

I can confirm that JFK doesn't have a "terminal C".

Franco Harris

Saw Franco and his wife on the train in ATL. Nice guy. He said the ball actually touched the ground too.

The Wiggins brothers (Kansas and Wichita State) were on SLC-MCI flight yesterday, didn't get a picture due to being a ISU fan... wanted to ask them what they had been eating considering how badly they both choked in their last tourney games (Zing!) Considering Andrew is/was declaring for the draft today, the last laugh is likely on them.

Again, I think you're confusing him with someone else. I can't find anything showing Daryl Strawberry defrauded anyone or was involved in any kind of gig in California.

Are you thinking of Lenny Dykstra?

I actually spent time talking with his driver as we waited for luggage and he commented that Quinton is always willing to talk to the people who recognize him.^
He was just kicked off a US Airways flight this past week. He is now determined to lose weight now. He bought a first class ticket, but guess none were available for his connecting flight.

Sitting in the SLC SC right now. . .

Saw a bag roll by me with a tag:

North, Oliver

Pretty sure it's him. Does he qualify as a celebrity by the strict standards of this thread???
