Mine was when I was 15 at a Ca. Angels baseball game. The Angels were losing and everybody was making paper airplanes out of their programs and booing. We were like, all the way to the top from 3rd base, and I took the back cover off of my program to make the plane bigger. Most of the planes were flying into the audience, but some were making it on to the field. Well, I threw mine upwards, and the wind caught it, and as it started going over the field, the WHOLE stadium hushed,, and it lande on the PITCHER'S MOUND!!!!!! The whole stadium then cheered my little paper airplane!!!! True Story!!!!

That's MUCH more fun than my fame. Or, infamy, to be more precise.
My husband was in the Navy; we were stationed on NAS Adak, AK.
One day, he went out for what was supposed to be a day-long caribou hunting trip. He never came back. He was missing for 8 months, before his remains were found.
But in the meantime, the story got to the AP wires. It was ridiculous!!
Of course, the military had to make sure no "bad" press got out (which wouldn't have happened----we were all really impressed, & grateful for the way it was handled!!) But regardless----I had a constant military presence in my home the entire time---literally!!! I wasn't allowed to answer my phone; not allowed to leave my home to run up & get a pack of smokes...it was miserable.
So, that was my "15 minutes".
Funny---I'd always pictured it as being a dancer on Broadway! LOL!!
I guess things really don't turn out as we plan, sometimes. :-)

Umm...when I was 10, I won the silver medal in the Iowa Games bowling tournament. I think I still have the medal somewhere.
Ummmm...I also had some poetry published.
Not exactly thrilling stuff, but I think both together might total 15 minutes of fame.
The only other "fame" I know of is relative--literally. My mom's second cousin's daughter Jaeda is on America's Next Top Model right now.

I fought a guy 3 times my size (like a stupid as*) 6 years ago, I call that "infamy". I also hated when I cried like a baby in front of about 50 peers when the coach was going to send me to the "redirector" (fourth grade). My fame came from when I messed up in a play in the third grade and hit a girl in the hand with my lasso, I totally screwed up the play (in a funny way) everybody thought that was funny and kept talking about it for a year (including parents). Embarrassing

My husband was on tv a few yrs. ago for catching a foul ball @ Angel stadium, but in the process he knocked a young boy into the seat in front of him. It was on the news and they were calling my husband "a bully." My young son was also there. My husband didn't mean it & apologized, made sure the kid was ok, etc. The newscasters made a big deal of it so my husband called them to explain - Fred Rogan called us @ home, spoke to my husband and cleared his name the next night. Then they replayed it on "end of the year" highlights - he'll never live it down!! :( It's funny now but made my husband look bad. Your story is much cuter!

Cool!
Mine is about to happen in about 2 hours because of the Coronation... I'm going to walk and waltze in front of everybody. Haha. I've been doing this for 3 years, so I think I got 45 minutes of fame.

I scored the winning goal in a high school hockey game years ago and was on TV and had to describe the goal and what I was thinking....I don't think it was my 15 minutes of fame because it was only on for 30 seconds when it aired!

I shook hands with Larry Lindville (Frank Burns from MASH) at a mall opening in West Virginia.
I was also on a local TV show as a kid. It was our version of Mr. Rodgers.
Wow, huh?

Awesome story! I don't think I've had mine yet. Just a lot of close calls, but not that one true 15 minutes.
