In high school I was in Agriculture and one day I won second place in a regional tobacco judging competition (first of all what *$$hole$ teach kids how to judge TOBACCO???) and they took my picture, my buddy Dean won first place; I didn't know until 2 or 3 years ago that he was upset they put ME in the paper and not him(he could have it i'm not to fond at looking at my mug in the mirror letalone in our Tri-weekly rag) I also got in for raising sheep, dairy judging, and livestock presentation (both Dean and I got in on that one.) I'm figure that that was only about 8.5 minutes so I still agot a bit left in me. AND that was more than 10 years ago so 8.5 min with a 10% interest rate compounded annualy I figure I still got a good 20.04547881085 minutes of fame left more than enough to take over the world in a bloodless coup and then become really famous for burping the alphabet (which I don't know how to do so I better get busy learning) and then 120 years from now get a kickin' obit.

Mine was limited to a group of doctors at Duke University Medical Center. In 1996 I was having a heart cath (few days later had by-pass surgery). The doctor doing the cath suddenly whistled and said, "Boy, you're hanging on by a thread, I don't understand why you're not dead." and proceeded to call other doctors in the cath lab over to have a look. The next day I overheard two doctors talking in the hall, one was saying, "Have you seen the pics on the guy whose heart...blah, blah." They were talking about me. I'm the guy "who should be dead".

O'siyo, Well, I guess its going to be when I 'leave' Mother Earth realizing that I lived a splendid life without ever knowing or really caring if I ever had my '15 minutes of fame' ~~Sty-U |
Exactly to the point what I wanted to say...but I guess you did it better than I would have been able to. Thank you, freekenny !

Odd you wouldn't have won before. I've won with moderate frequency. Didn't win any off of their last little game though. So... depending on what you consider larger market area... There's a lot of money in the Lexington area, that's evident by the hummers, limos, and other expensive vehicles... As well as the large mansions such as the one recently built between Winchester and Paris. But still, I'd hardly cound this as a large market area when compared with Cinncy, Philly, or certainly compared with New York, Miami, or LA.
