Because we've all done this........

About 35 hits, most of which are me (random film credits, my one mention in Daily Variety, an article the local paper did about me, a few “man on the street” quotes from the paper).

I’m also apparently a porn star or model of some sort.

I’m assuming since the shoe size is not an American one, that the Bust-Waist-Hips is centimeters, not inches. At least, I hope.

You don’t happen to be a middling-important heavyweight in West Coast volleyball circles. Because I write erotic fiction under a pen name, and every time I put my pen name in quotes on Google, I get this volleyball person.

I used to publish law books during the XVIII° century, but I eventually became a soccer player.

With or without my name in quotes, there are literally thousands of hits - mostly because of a professional baseball player, a midwestern politician, and a wedding DJ who all share my name. But with quotes, and also adding the state in which I live, I get the review of a local restaurant I wrote years ago for CitySearch.

Many of me were in the military. And a somewhat famous doctor who does something connected to education. And a Democratic politician in New Jersey. None, however are about me.

Wow. I never realized what an exciting guy I was:

Astronomer
Skateboarder
Amateur Thesbian
Professional Photographer
Gun Nut (OK, this one actually is about me)
Some sort of Cattle Baron
Shill for a Pesticide Company
Special Forces Staff Sergeant
Bluegrass Musician
Ham Radio Enthusiast

That threw me, as well. Thread title is “Beacuse we’ve all done this…” and it links to a cartoon of a guy with dynamite strapped to his chest… :dubious: Something you need to tell us, silenus?

Well, the first link I got was titled “Living with a Colostomy”, so I got a bit discouraged.

When the wife is away for a week, the mind does wander a bit… :smiley:

Thanks, Hal. I owe you one.

Unless you were writing erotic fiction about that American Idol movie (what was it called?), you’re probably not the one.

Hmph. What a buncha lightweights.

I’m an MD, DVM, Pilates Instructor and USELESS in these kinda searches.

723 hits. Damn, there’s a lot of people walking around out there using my name!

Most prominently, a Scottish football (soccer) player, a Professor of Psychiatry (ick!!!), and an avant-garde filmmaker.

Couple dozen hits that were genuinely me interspersed in there, including, to my astonishment, a record of my Eagle Scout ceremony which took place in 1976!

Lots of hits, most of them me for the first several pages. Author, publisher, old tech things I worked on, all sorts of good stuff.

Ooh, and I’m glad I checked because I just saw for the first time that someone referenced my research in the Journal of American Foklore in the Spring 2005 issue… unfortunately I must have let my membership lapse and I haven’t seen it… wouldn’t you know they go and use me on a source for something at a time when i’m not in the group. And the online reference that mentioned it won’t let me get it, grr. I need to track that down. The author of the piece is a Jungian so I bet her conclusions are opposite of mine… and from the abstract it sounds like she also references rather bogus studies.

Once in a great while there’s a mention of the other guy with my somewhat unusual name who just accidentally lives in the same town I do but isn’t directly related. Of course as much as his existence is occasionally annoying to me (going to a health clinic and having the records cross occasionally), my existence must be really annoying to him when he goes to Google himself. :smiley:

And then way down on Google’s list are accidental pairing of the Germanic stock words that happen to match my first and last names.
