Just be glad that you don’t suffer from [hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia](http://www.changethatsrightnow.com/problem_detail.asp?PhobiaID=1595&SDID=1404) _and_ caligynephobia.

“The Phobia Clinic”, by the way, pushes Neurolinguistic Programming as the panacea for all one’s fears, and should be avoided at all costs by those with an irrational fear of bipedal mammals about which it is said that “they don’t echo, and no-one knows why.”

Hmm, it seems I’m not the only guy using this name… By a long shot.

From Google, I get a band, a book, a magazine, and ~204,997 other things…

but Googlism’s so much more fun!!! **xayor** , you mind if I start a thread like this one, using Googlism as the premise? I’d love seeing what results others got. I’ll wait a bit, if you like… or if it bothers you I’ll abandon it altogether, and just post my Googlism’ed identity in this thread. 🆒

But this seemed a little weird: [a grave stone](http://nocgg.maddoc.net/renfrew/renfrew/xavierea/enright3.jpg)

7 of the 9 web google results on my username refer to me.

But all 41 of the hits from a group google on my username refer at least roughly to the origins of my username.
