h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Thanks for all the food, I was starving.

you could always become 'tony curtis'

Were we still bbling on about how we show up in internet searches?

In what incarnations do you find B4 on the web?

Wikipedia, despite all my protestation
a healthful vitamin good for your brain
an energy drink I have yet to swig
a virtual synthesizer for a Hammond organ
a lens mounting specification for cameras
a Show B4 the Show
a preview B4 U Buy
an android in the Star Trek mythos
various types of military equipment, i.e., airplane, ship, submarine, howitzer
a dock tank locomotive that would feel right at home with Thomas the Tank Engine
an international paper size
a classification of stars in the heavens
a Houston restaurant guide
an Art Deco design company
a brand of hand sanitizer
a venture capital firm (honestly, I had NOTHING to do with last year’s financial crisis)
a hexagonal crystal lattice structure (be there, or be a geometrical outcast)
a New Jersey rock/blues/jazz band
a home renovation company that prides itself on the After(math)
a chain of luxury hotels
a List of Creditors form to fill out
a line of blinds I’ve never seen
an economical subwoofer with great power and signal-to-noise ratio for home theaters
a potent chemotactic agent that initiates, coordinates, sustains and amplifies the inflammatory response
an up-scale jetsetters lounge in Gustavia, St Barthélemy, just east of Puerto Rico
a Wash U teachers’ Union payscale
one of the better “beginner” level campaigns for D&D
…and, oddly enough…
an Internet shorthand for "before"

You know, it’s been a long while since I did a “vanity search” for any of my on-line personas or RL presences. What an eye-opener! At least I’m not readily accessible, and it would take some serious digging B4 someone could mess with me. Thankful for that.

Hope I haven’t bored y’all with the self-aggrandizement.

According to Google, if I search for my real name, I'm a footballer for Wycombe Wanderers, an Italian rugby player, a professional guitarist and I own a hair salon in West Hartford, Connecticut... the list goes on...

Searching for Moonhogg - well, there is only one Moonhogg!

so......

if we search for a footballer for Wycombe Wanderers, an Italian rugby player, a professional guitarist and a hair salon owner in West Hartford, Connecticut we could get your real name????

Possibly - but it's much quicker just to look in the Yellow Pages - I'm in the Superhero section, after Captain Cappuccino, and before Captain Cucumber!

putting my real name in and in 0.27 seconds page 1 10 of 8,380,000 me's cool!!!! BUT only one me really

Prof - if I got it right, you graduated from Oxford, sell furniture, and Youtube thinks you're a dirty old man...

Websailor

1 out of 3 I'm happy with that

Ah, but which one?

They're all a cover for prof's people smuggling! He repatriates yorkshiremen from across the border with Lancs. Who do you think was responsible for Simon Grayson coming back to Leeds from Blackpool?!

a clueI hate soap

I can vouch for that - he HATES Coronation Street!!

ARGH!then againbloody panic

It is happening again! I was prompted to put in a "name" at login and it didn't seem to want to accept van-smeiter (though it is still fine as a username )

Is there any way to fix this? I'm not too fussed except it will seriously limit my hallowe'enagram this year

ignore that, I seem to have fixed it v easily

Last time I googled my real name, I didn't exist. (But you can find great pics of my mom volunteering!)
I do hope those scary tweets go away Bel. What spooks me is that someone sends my e-mail spam (questionable medications mostly) from my own address. I can't figure how this is done. I just hope they can't send them to others under my name.

Sending you spam with your own address as sender is one way of stopping you blocking the spam, as you're not likely to add your own address to the list of blocked addresses.

I frequently get spam from addresses very similar to mine (just before mine in alphabetical order), so I assume that the sender is just sending to a list, using each name as the "sender" for the next name. I assume there are people out there raging that they are getting spam from me.

So I wonder who all I'm trying to sell imported Cialis?
