I was reading [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8300227&postcount=3) in another thread. There is no Sir Blah showing up via SDMB search at the moment. Google isn’t helping with this quest at all. Nor Yahoo! or MSN Search. But there [seems to be at least one other person](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8300227&postcount=3) in the world who knows who he is. Or is not. So who is Sir Blah? And could he be my long lost Rich Uncle? ---

Apparently, he has [his own website](http://www.sirblah.com/). And a [MySpace page](http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=26880184). ---

The website with photos belongs to a Doper, I’ve seen them linked in threads here. But I’m not going to “out” anyone - if s/he wants it known, s/he will be by to let you know. The MySpace page isn’t the same person. ---

Fricking bizarre. Well, let’s get this part out of the way first: The web site is mine, but the myspace is not. I have no idea who this kid from Averil Park, NY is. Funny thing is, we both have the same first name. Anyway, I used Sir Blah as my online handle since I first started using BBSs in 1989. When I found the Dope, I lurked for a year or so, and when I went to sign up, I tried using “Sir Blah” as my login. However, I got the “already in use” error. I figured I had already registered at an earlier date, but none of my standard passwords worked. I had begun to get a little tired of that username anyway, so I decided to go with the one you see now. To this day, I don’t know if I really had already registered here as Sir Blah or if it was someone else. Adding to this, I see that the kid with the myspace is 18 – that means he’s probably not this [25 year-old VW enthusiast](http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerouser?cmd=viewprofile&id=131748). Cripes, now that I search around a bit more, it seems there may be several people using that handle. Sheesh, people – back off my name, damnit! 🙂 ---

Is he related to [Count Blah](http://www.myspace.com/count_blah)? ---

[QUOTE=Q.E.D.] You know we have a search engine here, right? I found it in about ten seconds. [/QUOTE] You askin’ me or the OP? If he wasn’t smart enough to figure it out, I wasn’t going to make it easier (At least not without **Hal** ’s permission). And it just seemed rather “duh” that he couldn’t figure it out from the linked thread, y’know? But I did want to put in that the 18 year old MySpace Sir\_Blah wasn’t ours. Or, at least, not the owner of the website in question. ---

Huh…after doing quite a bit of searching, I can also say I’m not [this guy](http://www.myspace.com/sirblah), [this guy](http://www.hotpeople.dk/profile/show_profile.asp?mode=show_vcard&user_id=231250) or [this guy](http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=980086). Nor am I the one listed on [gayfriendfinder.com](http://gayfriendfinder.com). Also, I don’t have any idea how I wound up as a character in a [romance novel](http://books.google.com/books?id=1MmNNfoENKoC&pg=PA78&lpg=PA78&dq=%22sir+blah%22+%22sir+blah+blah%22&source=web&ots=y-hBjhdNrh&sig=U68yFEcDZX6tkCKxMRJtMIs3ITo#PPA77,M1). Fricking bizarre. However, I _did_ find interesting places that have linked to parts of my site…that was kinda cool.
