Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 10 Jul 05 - 12:06 AM Ragdall Regarding your previous post
The cookie-cluster of the MC has been exceadingly vulnerabatium since its conseptiorum
Since exposing (many many years ago "the hole") ... perhaps, other youthful sprites (with too little on their summer hands (aka small dicks)) have begun to explore and perhaps, exploit the obvious GUEST/name process.
Joe (wisely) deleated the thread....and (VERY WISELY) encouraged me to NOT exploit the system....
However, SummerTime - and exploiting is easy.
Sincerely,
Joe, Max, Dic, they will "squeeze" you...but don't give in. |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Peter Kasin Date: 10 Jul 05 - 06:00 PM I found several others with the same name, which is not a common name. My other namesakes are a high school wrestler, an eagle scout, a carnival concessionaire, and a businessman/committee chair. One entry say's "The highlight of the evening will be committee chair (name) being guillotined!" Chanteyranger |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Don Firth Date: 10 Jul 05 - 07:12 PM Yeah, just to check on what I've been up to lately, I try it every now and then. I seem be the president and CEO of some company, and I also have a woodworking shop somewhere in the wilds of Ontario. Several hits lead me to various postings on Mudcat, one hit indicating that I was a regular singer at a coffee house in Seattle that I dropped in on from time to time but never actually sang at, and nothing on the coffee houses in the area that I did sing at. And there's an article for Victory Review magazine by Mudcatter Stewart in which he mentions my name. Go to google "Advanced Search," put "folk" in the top box and "Don Firth" in the second box and it tightens it a lot. Put in "folklife" instead of "folk," and the top listing is "Folklife 2003," where Sally Tomson posted some photos she took with her new digital camera of the Coffee House Reunion ("Geezer's Concert") at the 2003 Northwest Folklife Festival. Sally didn't get the camera adjusted too well (still figuring out how to run the thing) and the lighting seems a bit iffy (bright enough in the venue, however), but she got shots of Bob (Deckman) Nelson who led off the concert, then me, then miscellaneous shots of the rest of the crew, including the "grand finale." Ye gods! You can never tell what might be out there that can come back and haunt you!! Don Firth |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: jaze Date: 10 Jul 05 - 07:43 PM I've done this a couple of times. Apparently, I share a name with a well known young British actor. Hundreds of sites come up--all related to him. Most startling, though, are ones like ***** ***** NAKED! Or See ***** ***** NUDE! Anyone googling me might think I'm a porn star or something:>). |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Joybell Date: 10 Jul 05 - 09:29 PM There's another Joy Hildebrand. Surprised me a bit. Thought it was an unusual name. Quite a few hits that are really me. A lot of them Mudcat ones. Fun isn't it? Cheers, Joy |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: MaineDog Date: 10 Jul 05 - 09:58 PM Yes, I tried that recently. There are actually a lot of mainedogs out there who are not me, I have to be spelled correctly. My "true name", I am happy to say, only turns up on page 6 or so, and is nicely hidden where only friends will recognize it. MD |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Jul 05 - 04:21 AM Under my proper name, I'm the wife of a 19th century vicar who was born in Britain in 1810 and went to Australia to build churches, or a domestic servant in the parish of Headley. They had their portraits painted and it's these that are on the web. For Liz the Squeak on Google, you get this site.... and a lot of links to parts of novels of a less than salubrious nature..... "Liz heard a squeak and turned around to see what had stopped Max in his tracks. Michael was pulling his pants together, and Maria was pulling down her dress ..."....! Didn't know I'd had so much fun! LTS |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Wilfried Schaum Date: 11 Jul 05 - 05:28 AM Leading the list with my Latin homepage, worldwide and in Germany. - Worldwide: 406 hits, a lot of Mudcat contributions, helpdesk of our statwide library system, guestbooks, recensions, participations, references to some of my articles, discussions. - Germany: 76 hits. Some of the contributions were long forgotten, nice to remember again. Both numbers a little bit inflated by a bus transport enterprise (about 20 hits) owned by a person of same name; learned something new. |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Flash Company Date: 11 Jul 05 - 09:18 AM Just tried this, under Flash Company I appear to be taking over all kinds of things, so then I tried my real name (Brian Quinn). I never realised there were so many of me. For the record, I am not from Belfast, Ballynahinch or Dungannon, I have never been a Footballer or a Joiner,(although I did have ambitions in that direction). Just a plain old Cheshire lad, me, with Welsh & Irish ancestry. FC |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Donuel Date: 11 Jul 05 - 09:46 AM 3,870 google hits on my name. however I am insulted that the first several pages are only 10 year old/bad picures I did and multiple 12 year old reports of a ufo sighting I reported. |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Donuel Date: 11 Jul 05 - 09:56 AM All my poems that google lists are on websites in which I am banned and can not view or edit. opps 3,870 hits on the last name. Most of which belong to my surfer cousin Jeff. |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Jul 05 - 10:16 AM I know who I am, and who Max is... Michael could be one of at least 4 - so who is Maria?? And what is she doing with Michael - whichever one!!! LTS |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Jul 05 - 10:19 AM 705,000 hits on my proper name.... 25,100 on Liz the Squeak.... makes me feel really popular! LTS |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: greg stephens Date: 11 Jul 05 - 10:25 AM I liked to believe what a unique person I was, till I tried this process. Apparently the world is full of people called Greg Stephens. Some of them very learned Americans with jobs in universities. In fact, most of them are learned Americans. Though one guy plays jazz trombone. |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: GUEST,Joe_F Date: 11 Jul 05 - 11:01 AM There are even a couple of other Joe Finemans, but I seem to be the main one. I have infested the newsgroups for about 18 years now, mostly alt.usage.english, soc.motss (for a while), and rec.music.folk (before the Mudcat sucked the juice out of it), so if you take the Groups option you will see more than enough of me. --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: Of the components of love, jealousy has the longest decay time. :|| |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Burke Date: 11 Jul 05 - 11:37 AM 162 hits on my name. After Google eliminated similar hits, it only displayed 36. This is not surprising to me, because every tune I've led at every Sacred Harp Singing I've been to from 1995-2004 is in the online minute book. Other hits are for me as a contact for various Sacred Harp events, or otherwise mentioned in relation to Sacred Harp; some departmental web pages that mention me; another person with the same name who contributed a chapter on Computer Science to a book entitled "She does math;" and finally someone on the staff of a very large Baptist church in California. I did find a picture of me at a Sacred Harp singing. I think I must have seen it before & mercifully forgotten about it. At the end are several that Google has labled "Supplemental Result." A couple seem to be related to Usenet messages back in the days before I put my initials in my e-mail name and no-one had heard of Spam. The last one is really strange so I post it here.

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: PoppaGator Date: 11 Jul 05 - 02:49 PM Can I even discuss this without mentioning my real name? I think so... My name is not especially common, but there are a couple of people with the same name as mine who have lots of mentions on the internet. The most interesting case is a fellow just a year or two younger than myself who was killed while working the door at a Socialist Workers' Party fund-raising event in Brooklyn back in the early 1970s. (I might have the organization's name wrong, but it was some such Trotskyite New-Left faction.) The group regards this fellow as a martyr to their cause (even though, as I interpret the story, he was really just the victim of random violence), and still holds events in memory of his (and my) name. Now, I was involved in the draft resistance back in the late 60s, although far more Christian than Communist in orientation, and definitely not affiliated with that particular group. (That is, I was a fairly visible member of the "New Left," but not nearly that far left.) I suppose that, to some of my more distant acquaintances, it very well could have been me collecting admissions at that dance that evening. So now I know why, over the years, a few folks have expressed surprise that I was still alive ~ they probably read a newspaper piece about my namesake's murder and figured it had been me! Another prominent person with the same name as mine is a Catholic priest who is highly placed in the hierarchy of the Maryknoll order. He ain't me, either. And finally, one more person with my name who I found via Google turned out to be a semi-distant relative with whom I started up an interesting correspondance. I met his father (my father's cousin) more than 40 years ago, and may have also met this fellow when he was a very young child. I've only found a single reference to my own actual self: A short couple of paragraphs I once posted to a site requesting info on St. Patrick's Day Parades around the world. I gave 'em my report on our celebrations here in New Orleans, and they gave me a byline. (If I were using my real name here at Mudcat, I'm sure all kinds of crap would turn up. One more good reason for using a fake Mudcat name.) |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: bfdk Date: 11 Jul 05 - 04:42 PM Entertaining assignment. Well, it turns out I share my Mudcat handle with a few others, including
Googling for my own name I get 700 hits, most of them related to the homepage I run, which offers a few ressources for genealogy research in Denmark. Other hits relate to photos posted to a couple of photo sites (some of which would have been x-rated, had the subjects had only two legs each and no wings), an online database with photos of Danish churches (also genealogy related) and photos of spiders submitted to a nature research database for a "spider hunt" conducted last year in order to ascertain how many of various species could be found in which parts of the country ;-)) The top scorer of the family, however, is my dog. His (unique) name generates a grand total of 6.160 hits. Sic transit gloria mundi! I find myself beaten by a dog ;o)). Well, maybe it's to do with the fact that he's got his very own domain name, and I'm just his lowly tenant.. |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Donuel Date: 11 Jul 05 - 04:55 PM OK stop it Rapaire, when I said my cousin Jeff the surfer, he is related to my step father so we are not blood related. Gene Hackman on the other hand is my great aunt's son, so he is a cousin with some sort of number after it. |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: Blowzabella Date: 11 Jul 05 - 08:14 PM I've only got 46 hits but they are all me! Mostly relating to press releases I've done, or references for performers. |

Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately? From: JohnInKansas Date: 11 Jul 05 - 10:54 PM Gee - I get 5,690 hits for "Blowzabella." You must have the "safe search" filter turned on... Or did you mean your "real name?" John |
