Ego surfing the light fantastic

So, there's been this game making the rounds on friendster and myspace that's kind of fun and funny. But it's particularily funny when your first name is also a last name. You type "{your name} is" into google and find all the funny phrases about yourself. You pick out the 5 or 10 funniest and send the list on to your friends. Fun, fun...

Unless you're me.

If you're me you develop it into a large-form piece. I'm a maniac. A nut job. I need help. But anyway, here it is.

Have fun! Type "{your name} is" into Google and see what you get.
