Number one in the first segment had a long job title. Lol.

It was an easy guess for me #3 He recited theirs

@gymnastix Sorry, I have to text on an outdated iPhone, not doing a term paper, that's how texting looks because its too difficult to do otherwise. You're old, huh? I mean really old not to know that, LOL.

@tomservo56954 Even more interesting would be the mailman biting the Olympian, dependent especially on where, upon the Olmpian, the biting was one.

[gymnastix]

@tomservo56954 But fame for fame's sake is not interesting unto itself. I agree with what I think is your broader point, that a mailman may be as interesting as an Olympic athlete, if the circumstances of the mailman's claim to fame are interesting.

Delivering mail, in and of itself, is uninteresting. But that same mailman biting a dog on his mail route is extraordinary, and, therefore, on a par with (even if not exactly equal to) the accomplishments of the victorious Olympian.

@tomservo56954 You raise a good point here, about how many will forget the accomplishments of a noteworthy individual after a period of time. The same may be said of actors as of athletes. How many will be able to recall even last year's Academy Award-winning Best Picture or Best Actor, beyond a few weeks of the Oscars ceremony?

[gymnastix]

@Ramubay You are absolutely correct, even with your run-on sentence of improper punctuation. It's not about being a celebrity. It is about having a story to be told.

In fact, in the television climate of today, there are almost as many programs devoted to untalented, unworthy celebrities as there are numbers of those media whores themselves.

And the reality of so-called "reality TV" is that no program may be purely natural when its subjects are aware a camera and microphone are present.

[gymnastix]

@tomservo56954 To call persons who mutilate the bodies of other human beings with ink and needles "artists" is really stretching the term "artist."

But then, "stretched" skin is the only state in which those ink-rendered monstrosities may appear fully visible. As the bodies of the unfortunate victims of those ink vandals grow older, the drawings applied to their epidermal cavities will appear as if upon prunes, merely shriveled blotches of colored remnants.

@Ramubay YOU are the one who keeps going on and on about "an Olympian matters MUCH more than a mailman"--if not about celebrities, it does say you obsess about who is more "important" than others. Do you watch that reality show about Bruce Jenner and his crazy family BECAUSE as a gold medalist, he is far more worthy of public notice than fishermen or tattoo artists or well-off homemakers or aspiring fashion designers or wannabe singing stars?

@tomservo56954 ???? Its not about being a celebrity its about having a story to be told. The story of an Olympian is the bigger story. You are too celebrity obsessed.
