Devices for cleaning seals (not the aquatic mammal). My first username was seal\__clubber_, which I changed at tubadiva’s request. I won’t google that one. ---

Lots of pictures of bare feet, and some old-timey ballplayer. ---

Surprisingly (to me), lots of T-shirts, mugs, and ties about being a topologist; scattered pictures of actual topologists, some of whom I know; and drawings of women tied up, often scantily clad. I really wasn’t expecting that. ---

Now I see that those drawings come from someone else on the 'net using the username topologist. Not me, honest. ---

I got my user name by looking outside my window and seeing a very common tree in the Sonoran desert (where I live). So all the images are of the beautiful Palo Verde tree in bloom, like this: [https://www.google.com/search?q=palo+verde&espv=2&biw=1745&bih=868&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=cn9RVc2mPNLHogT0hoDwDg&ved=0CAcQ\_AUoAg](https://www.google.com/search?q=palo+verde&espv=2&biw=1745&bih=868&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=cn9RVc2mPNLHogT0hoDwDg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg) ---

There’s a Ken M and/or a KenM on reddit. Not me. There’s a KENM radio station in Tucumcari, New Mexico. I’m Kenm only on the Dope. Anything and everything Kenm hauls up isn’t me or mine. ---

If I do Ponch8, I get a random hodgepodge of images, including a few of Erik Estrada (_CHiPs_) and one of Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn from _Major League_. If I just do Ponch, it’s almost all Erik Estrada pictures. ---

Mine actually surprised me. Instead of the coins I get image after image of puppies. I guess I’m the only one using the more archaic spelling for the coppers from Imperial Russia. ---

Nothing terribly surprising. Mostly pictures of Ian Wolfe as [Mr. Atoz](http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Atoz) from Star Trek. And a few pictures of Jason Mraz, who apparently had an album called “Mr. A-Z.” I assume that’s a play on his last name. ---

Google divides it into two words, and much to my horror the majority of photos seem to be of Guy Fieri. ---

A whole lotta random stuff. Just the first row, left to right: San Antonio Spurs “Texas” logo (large and small) A man sitting in a patio chair, drinking wine A group of men in native (American Indian?) dress, during some kind of performance A triquetra (with ring) tattoo with names and dates (children and birthdays I’m guessing) A man (possibly the same one from the wine picture) sitting in a plastic Adironack chair on a beach An album cover for “Moonlight Sonata” by a band called “Icon of Sin” ---
