I’ve got some 12-year-old girl’s site. Pathetic, really, so very pathetic that I won’t describe what’s on it. (My name is marissa) ---

I tried that- it turned up a site devoted to a moderately successful drama-of-the-week actress. Boring. I also tried it with my daughters name & got a performance artist who also does corporate meetings. Weird. ---

Well, I got porn with my actual name, Margaret, and [Anything.com](http://Anything.com) with what everybody calls me, Peggi. Kind of strange that the more traditional one turned up the porn and not the flippant one. ---

Sheesh, I’m not even a website. There is no [http://www.dennis.com](http://www.dennis.com). What a rip. You’d think there would at least be an offical website out there for a famous Dennis. Dennis Leary? Dennis Weaver? Dennis the Menace? ---

Mine is for some country/western band leader. Talk about bizzaro world! “his opening act appearances include such entertainers as Garth Brooks, George Strait, Clint Black, and Reba McEntire. He has performed on numerous albums and has written and performed scores for major films. Other performance credits include the National Republican Convention, The World Economic Summit and the MS Rodeo Ball with Trisha Yearwood in Dallas, Texas.” Well, hot shit. And to think I didn’t make it to the rodeo ball. ---

Both of mine are wierd. First name is some kind of electronics store, but they sell all kinds of crap. Lighers, magnifying glasses, I’m scared. Last name is REALLY wierd. I’d post it here, but I’m wary of posting my last name. It’s [this image](http://www.thesoapflakes.com/bganim.gif) as the wallpapered background image, with “[www.Riddles.com](http://www.Riddles.com)” on the title bar at top and [Riddles.com](http://Riddles.com) as the only other image on the page. No links to anything, and when I looked at the page source, there is a table there with nothing in it. The Irish mafia strikes again. ---
