On the off-chance that there is another Regallag the Axe, I can assure you all that he will not also be known as the Great Conqueror, Destroyer of Kings, Devourer of Nations, or any of my other titles.
I hope you don’t try to pick up wimminfolk with this story.
Cool story!
Except now I’ve got “It’s a small world after all” playing in my head and I’m getting flashbacks to when we got stuck inside the ride when I was five and all the dolls just kept staring at me, and singing, and staring…
I’ll be in the fetal position in the corner over there if anyone needs me.
All your $53 are belong to us.
Somewhere within driving distance of my home, there is a gravestone that has my first, middle, and last name on it … and my date of birth. Clear as day–Draelin Middlename Lastname, Born December 24, 1975, Died December 30, 1975. I saw it when I was about six, at some distant-family-member funeral, and no matter how many times I ask my parents, they can’t recall what cemetery we were in. (Even Grandma, who knows everything, doesn’t know who died that year or where they were buried.) I wasn’t disturbed, since I was relatively certain I was not dead, but I’d really like to find it again, just to take a picture of me sitting on top of it. I’ve run searches everywhere I can think of, including FindAGrave, but no dice.
I am willing to concede that at six years old, I could have read some part of it wrong, but I learned to read when I was three … I’d been reading half my life, and I damn sure knew my name and my birthday.
I thought Pat Xarrett was the guy who shot Billy the Cid.
No,
Zarrett is the last name of Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants.
Oh, he must be the one who shot Billy the Squid.
Back when I was in college (yes, we rode dinosaurs to class then) I was active in the theatre. There was another fellow with the exact same name as me who was also active in the theatre. My last name is common and my first name is generationally (not exactly common but) not uncommon. On one show the tech director put us together on the lighting team just 'cuz it gave him a big giggle.
This other fellow with my name told me he knew of a third guy with the same name at the school. We all arranged to meet up at a party. While at the party I was introduced to a fine young lass who had at one time or another dated each of these other two fellows with my name. When she was introduced to me her eyes lit right up!
Dear Mister Anaamika:
My name is Oliphanty, and I come from Rhodesia, however I am currently living in exile in France. I write to you today to offer you the great chance of a lifetime to make many monies very easily.
My family’s fortune is being held in a very bad man’s bank in my home of Rhodesia, and I have no access to it. However I have found a secret and legal way to obtain that monies which rightfully belong to my family. All that is required from you is $53 and a few hours of your time to arrange for the transfers of the monies into this great country of France.
I will share with you the sum of $1 million US monies if you would help. Please show me your committment to helping my family and i recover our lost fortune, by sending the $53 immediately. If you do not have the $53 available, please pass this generous offer to some kind of person who would likingly help.
Thank You and much blessing!

I did a google vanity search not to long ago and found that I have a name doppleganger, also in Florida. However, our shared last name is her married name. The first name is actually a shortened version of a longer name and I’m guessing her full name is not the same as mine. She’s on the other coast, probably about 15 years older than me and is one of those society ladies.
So which one of you has the goattee?
Back in the Iron Age when I was at college, there was another person in the school with my first name and last name. I learned about this when I got a ‘request’ to come to the office to talk about a parking infraction. I explained that I did not, nor had I ever, owned a car. The question was resolved when it was discovered that our middle names were different.
Since that time, I use all three of my names, spelled in full, if possible.
If I google for my name, using just my first and last names pulls up all kinds of matches, including a preacher in Alabama. Using all three names pulls up mostly web pages belonging to me.
