Cudahy & Oconomowoc.....

I come from 2 "famous" (not really) WI cities so I'll list both of them:

Cudahy, WI (10 miles south of Milwaukee):
Not really anybody too famous (yet) but there are some;
-John Navarre, Starting Quarterback for Michigan
-Lamar Gordon, Back-Up RB for the St. Louis Rams, started for Marshall Faulk the last 2 weeks

Thats really it from there, and there is only 1 from Oconomowoc that I know of:
-Craig Counsell, of the Arizona Diamondbacks (his cousin lives across the street from me)

This probably doesn't count, but if you happen to watch THE AMAZING RACE on CBS you'll see the parents of our team's current driver (well, not the official driver... yet). That's famous enough for me.

So remember: THE AMAZING RACE, Wednesday nights on CBS, 9:00 PM EST. Their names are Teri and Ian.

It's kinda funny because they're the most hated people on the show. Editing makes them look really mean. I've been witness to them in real life and they don't seem that bad...

But they're still great fun to bastardize.

i thought of another person.

my mom runs a lot (going outside, eww ), and she has different friends that she runs with. one of them is this lady Christy (i think that's how you spell it) Lyons (spelling again?) who is apparently the wife of some football player (i don't know football at all, so don't ask me who he is) on the Jets i think. since football isn't my thing, i have no idea if he's famous, but i figured it was worth mentioning.

I cannot think of anyone from my hometown who is famous... Monticello, Indiana doesn't really have much.

But... it is rumored that my great-grandfather, Chester Huffman, invented that little rolled-up paper rim on the top edge of a dixie cup while living in Monticello. Or, at least that is what he told me 25 years ago.

On another note... I know that it's not at all my hometown, but I spent a semester in college in Grantham, England... which was the home of Issac Newton. They had an all-boys elementary school that was called "Issac Newton School". Also, they had a square in the middle of town with a statue of the man himself.

Andy B. with a fairly pointless post.

Hey, if you look on the tv when they show the weather report in the first movie you'll see my name and here them say it. Elgin is a town in Illinois where the Elgin Clock Company originated and is still today! (no my parents did not name me after the company, Elgin is a family name. Honest!)

Anyways, in Watertown the biggest celebrity we've had in a while would have to be Rico Brogna of NY Yankees fame!

Oh we also have a few bands likeTRIPSET & SUBMIT who hail from Watertown, CT.
And pop singer John Mayer is from CT.

Also, James Van Der Beek aka Dawson on Dawsons Creek went to school a few towns over.

Then of course we have all the people who are famous and have houses in CT, like David Letterman, Dustin Hoffman, and Martha Stewart for starters.

Oh and remember that reallly tall hockey player who was talked about in another thread, yeah well he lives or lived in West Hartford CT.

I realize that Adam Sandler, Robert Frost and Franklin Pierce wherent born in Manchester. But they all grew-up here and/or spent the better part of their life living here.

I dont know when Adam Sandler moved to manchester, but It must have been In or beafore he was in the 1st grade (we had the same teacher) Mrs. Kendal.

Jnadke,

Stop the bashing. This isn't the place to do it. If you want to make a comment like that about someone, PM or IM them about it. Don't do it here.
