Apparently, my username is also the name of a [comic](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ip3o8KxbnpI/T844NDImYPI/AAAAAAAACLU/J3Vi_bq7QJw/s1600/idle+thoughts+24.jpg). For some of you, results may be interesting ( **Left Hand of Dorkness** ) For others, they may be easily predictable ( **Giraffe** ) ---

I get business pictures from “Saje Natural Wellness” and “Strategic Actions for a Just Economy” . Yawn. ---

Lots of pictures of telemark skiing, plus a bit about the area in Norway. ---

[Not much unexpected,](http://www.portallos.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/elkabong.jpg) although there also seems to be a lot of images of ski goggles, for some reason. ---

George Brunet, Jamie Moyer, Jason Vargas, Bob Kuzava and Mickey McDermott (plus a bunch of boxers). About what was expected. ---

Lots of scale-type images, mostly balanced rocks and clipart. A few shots of people standing on one leg or engaging in various acrobatic exercises. Scrolling down a bit gets me to elephants standing on things. A quick look at **LHoD** ’s seems to show only images linked in various SDMB threads. With a distinctive username like that, you can get at least some impression of the sort of threads they tend to post in. (It has more amusing images than mine, at least. The facepalming baboon alone covers that.) ---

Lots and lots and lots of anime for some odd reason. ---

A few cool pics of [Sick Puppies](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-Polar_(album)), and then a bunch of stuff about cellulite. ---

Runners. And coaches. If I add SDMB, a bunch of images that were linked to in threads I posted in. ---

[This](http://0.tqn.com/d/netforbeginners/1/S/6/J/DramaticChipmunk.gif) is the best one. Otherwise, mostly Alvin and the Chipmunks. ---

My username is far, far more unique than I assumed it was when I first started using it. It sounds like the name of an English town or locality, but it’s not as far as I can tell. Basically it’s the name of: [ul] [li] a region with a hiking hut in New Zealand;[/li][li]a locality (with railway siding) in rural Queensland;[/li][li]a street in West End, Brisbane, in which I used to live (hence my username);[/li][li]a locality (fictional, as far as I can ascertain) in a book by HG Wells[/li][li]my internet handle.[/li][/ul] The first photo google returns is of the hiking hut. Most of the rest are of houses on Princhester St. ---
