hehehe, i like cortex's image. Googling dabitch finds girls with guns, and me sans gun. poo. I thought I had me and a gun images on the web somewhere. Must correct this!
Googling my real name found me on some dudes site, hey I forgot about that party and the day after when I looked like this. Youth man, today I can't clean up like that a day after a party. Unfair. ANd to think, I thought I looked as hungover as I felt.
I concked out at about page 30... In addition to the expected dots on dice and Gladys ands (did y'all know she had a chicken and waffles place?), I'm also a kiddie hockey team, a comedy club, a Croatian rock band, and, perhaps most disturbingly, a WWII German fighter pilot (ironically, I just finished teaching a unit on Holocaust literature).
I'm having an identity crisis.
(I wonder if the "Pips" nickname from my father was a German/Yiddish thing? My father's first language was Yiddish.)
A lot of people name their cats 'mischief' as well as their artwork featuring fairies. Oh, a raccoon and even a picture of some cat fairies. The url for this pic is interesting:

As for my real name, two different PhDs, a mayor and a football star (mid-level collegiate type).
Image search of my last name brings up a lot of my cousin's art work. She used to the be the chief colorist for Marvel Comics, but dropped that gig years ago to paint, serious.
HA! When I turn Safe Search off, then some photos of me *do* pop up with my username. Hee. They are clothed photos that DaShiv took at the JFJ concert... I have no idea why they'd be filtered.
The web is filled with wendells, with nothing of me in the first 20 pages. The very first picture is a rather gross photo labelled "WENDELL-OR-2.JPG" from a surgical weight loss center showing a pre-operative abdominoplasty patient named Donald (not Wendell) and one of the other first page images is a very very very strange painting by Chris Mars titled "Wendell's Bungle". On the happier side, I discovered that Gund has made a teddy bear named Wendell (scroll down to row 20; it does kinda look like me, just a little blonder, awwwwww...), and there's a Wendell Christmas Elf (sold out, does NOT resemble me), and "Wendell (the cat) just after waking from his 19th nap of the day", and there's a webcomic that ran almost daily for four years that starred "Wendell the Mummy". For the full name "wendell wittler", it's almost all the pics I rotate in my "About Me" box on my blog, but the first picture is a movie poster from an MSNBC.com "Movie Guilty Pleasures" feature I contributed to, but not the one I reviewed, the one right after (since my byline was at the end). An interesting way to spend part of a Friday night... by myself. Except I feel like I need a kleenex or something.
I get some pictures of a guy with my name in San Antonio that's a halo gamer. I've run across him before while googling my name. There is one picture of me from my old last.fm avatar. ≡ Click to see image ≡
Miguel Cardoso made a post about this years ago on Metatalk, if I recall correctly. The first y2karl page had hardly changed at all, which is pretty amazing, seeing as how it's all pictures to which I linked in various MetaFilter threads. None are of me, thank God--although, the one on far right in the third row down is a pretty good likeness.
I don't who this y2kArl's Xanga Site guy is. But then there's a teenaged y2karl who has a Myspace page and a bodybuilder y2karl out there as well. Why, I oughta...
