Believe It Or Not, Wearing A Nametag Secured Me Spot In Ripley's
In the middle of dinner last night, an old friend from high school stopped by my table to say hello. After we caught up for a few minutes Adam said, "You know Scott, I was just reading about you the other day.""Really?" I said. "What were you reading?"
"Ripley's Believe It Or Not."
"What?! Ripley's? Get the hell outta here!"
"Oh yeah, it's in there. I just bought it. You should go check it out."
Less than three minutes later, I found myself in the new releases section of my local Borders. I grabbed the latest edition of Ripley's Believe It Or Not called Planet Eccentric. Then I flipped to the index under the letter "G."
And that's when I saw it:
Ginsberg, Scott, 23
NO WAY.
I voraciously turned the pages to the "Off The Wall" section. And on the left-hand side was a small paragraph which read:
Scott Ginsberg, of St. Louis, Illinois, has worn a nametag every day since November 2, 2000, just to find out what would happen. He now works with people who want to become more approachable - and says that wearing nametags is a great start.
Now, here's the funny part: I've applied and been rejected by Guinness Book TWICE. (Read my rejection letter here.) Meanwhile, Ripley's never called me; I never went through the submission process - I knew nothing about this!
So maybe that's why the editors screwed up my home state. Because I live in St. Louis, MISSOURI; not St. Louis, ILLINOIS. And for those of you not familiar with the area, (East) St. Louis, Illinois is home of dozens of all night dance/strip clubs and the highest crime rate in the United States. Not exactly my kind of town.
So believe it or not, Ripley's doesn't check their facts. ;)
Anyway, I scanned page 23 so you can view the entry here.
Still, I think the funniest part about this whole thing is the entry right next to mine. It's a picture of a guy named Leo Kongee of Pittsburgh who is know as "The Painless Wonder" because he can drive as many as 60 nails into his nose without feeling any discomfort.
In which case, I think it's safe to say: I've arrived.
LET ME ASK YA THIS...
What's the most unbelievable thing you've ever seen?

Like HELLO, my name is Blog!
WOW, Scott.. you've arrived! :)
That is awesome. Maybe next year, they'll figure out that St. Louis is in Missouri. :)
You're amazing.
Scott - you are an amazing guy, and you deserve all the successes you're getting! Ripley's, the Today Show...What's next? Oprah?
Keep Making It Great! Thanks for continuing to inspire me!
Hello, Scott. My name is Vincent :-)
Great stuff you're doing, Scott! Few people could pull off such a feat and then back it with a good, sound philosophy. It inspires the heck out of me, too! Happy to hear that Ripley's Believe It Or Not and The Today Show have heard of your approachability factor.

Have you ever wondered how these beautiful cloisonne bracelet are made with cloisonne beads? Many of us love Cloisonne beads with their traditional designs of flowers and leaves, but we probably don`t think about the process of making them. Cloisonne is an ancient craft used for many decorative items as well as for jewellery, cloisonne bracelets or necklace and much more. I love to make rather large polymer clay beads but the bigger Pearl Bracelet, the heavier the weight, which is no good for jewelry. Magnetic Clasps are very strong, easy to attach, and easy to open and close. They are composed of two pieces, each with an embedded magnet. china jewelry
