Who AM I?

I'm glad I've got a friends list like you, friends list.

Now, I'm reasonably certain everyone who's ever spent any time at all connected to the Internet in any meaningful fashion since Google appeared has tried this game already, but it's still a foolishly amusing way to wile away some precious, precious time.


The rules are simple. On Google, type "[nomenclature] is", with the quotes intact but with your preferred name in place of the bit in brackets.

You should feel free to fine-tune your name until you get some amusing results. I know I did after "Chakraoffish", "Chakra of Fish", and "Wheeloffish" turned up nothing at all and "Wheel of Fish" turned up 12 bizarrely-phrased bits from reviews of UHF.

From the results you cull some really entertaining phrases by trimming irrelevant leading words. Then post your favorite, oh, 23 or so. Or just 1. Or none. What am I going to do, come to your house and break your fingers with a heavy iron skillet if you don't? I can't even afford bus fare across town right now.

So, ladies and gentlemen, a little bit of philosophical frippery that we like to call:

Holy Squid, Batman! We could create a postmodern digital divination technique with this idea! Media hexes screaming in the murmur of binary between wires strung over a dark world, shit like that. Lexis Nexis as the Southern Oracle, a bricolage of bits and bytes!

Interested?

I'm fairly certain that Googling has created a sort of bridge into the unconscious. It's collected so much information and is so versatile an all-seeing eye that the devoted searcher cannot only find what they thought they were looking for; they can find truths they never knew they needed.

Lexis-Nexis is too limited in scope, powerful a beast as it may be within its purview. Journalism as it stands is dead.

Google is the Mouth in the Air that speaks endlessly in the strange cadences of vox populi.

LADIES, LADIES, LADIES!

"Wheel is to ridden IMMEDIATELY (emphasis added)."


"Curare is..." gets predicted results.
"Doctor Curare is..." doesn't exist.
Fuck-a-doodle-doo. Mierda.

All I get is Overdrive is most computer advancements from the late 90's....oh I'm also various forms of steriods and sex-pills as well as some video games I've never heard of...and I think some sort of cyber-punk type pornography...Damnit! Why must I be so forsaken as to have a name with over 150,000 references!
