I'm currently writing a (rather small) text adventure that plays out in the monastery.

I don't want to give you the story yet, it's gonna be a surprise (a good one, i hope).

The adventure is a bit tongue-in-cheek and i still need a few famous real or fictional Monastery characters to liven up the scenes. One real person is already included in a major role (no, i wont tell who). Also, i got the reaper and the vote fairy.

So, any contenders? What i'm searching for:

Person (virtual or real) must be well known throughout the userbase. That's what immediately qualified the vote fairy.
Real persons must have shown a certain amount sense of humor and tolerance...
Also qualified may be some special trolls, as long as they have a long, well known history with the monastery.

For any such person i'd like a short reasoning or link to one or more articles that made them (in)famous ;-)

Also welcome are links to any famous and "special" posts here in PerlMonks. I'm on the lookout for more insider jokes and such.

Update 2012-07-02: This will take a little longer than planned. During a slight disagreement with my bicycle (which i lost), i broke my left forearm near the elbow. I might be able to release a small preview of the adventure in a couple of weeks, but i can't promise anything, except that the project is still alive.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
