Hi, lurker here. I am so bored without MeFi, so I hope you'll be ok with me participating. I hadn't gotten up the courage to post here yet. :-p

I couldn't help posting to this, especially when I saw the search result.

Yikes, r.mutt.

Some of these are hilarious. I think it pretty much goes without saying that none of these are going to be us.

Hi bristolcat! Welcome!

r. mutt, we must have the first name. Here's the 2nd result.

Definitely not me!

posted by Mijo Bijo 25 March | 19:25

Not me. All of the amros were male. No wonder everyone here and on MeFi always assumes that I'm a man.

My first result was totally, 100 percent not safe for work.

Umm.

Ah, she's so soft and coiffed.

Hmm.

This actually looks a lot like me. Except for the baby, the cigarette, the boobs, the bikini, and the hair.

My real name brings up a topless chick, a well-known singer and lots and lots of dogs. (My husband and I both have very popular dog names.) All of you look exactly as I pictured you. Especially gaspode.

But jrossi lead me to this. Do not fuck with me, people. I will cut you!

Oh..and welcome bristolcat!

posted by jrossi4r 25 March | 19:43

Wow, pups. That looks just like me! Only I never bother to warm the baby's bottle.

Not me, but I've been known to do this.

Wow...I can assure you, this is not me. Nor is that 'stache me.

The same could be said for my in real life first name.

As for y2karl...

It's the crash of the Hindenburg, the Runaway Bunny and Julie Newmar's butt,
in that order.

Good Night Moon or Oh, The Humanity! ?

I get the same result as richat with SafeSearch off, so let's see what the first result is with moderate SafeSearch on.

Oh. Oh dear.

And with strict SafeSearch:

I can live with that.

This is what I get without SafeSearch on, btw. And with strict SafeSearch, I get a picture of a car.

At least the non-safe image is fully clothed.

My first image result is actually no longer on this page, but, um ... there's plenty to give you the idea. Comments on Google's preturnatural accuracy are left as an exercise to the reader. Heh.

posted by Specklet 26 March | 11:19

This is pretty funny.

Real name, Nope.
Nick, alicesshoe, the only thing correct is that I do like Fellini, but it's about the gender of the nick. Not surprisingly. I understand the link to a MeFi response of mine, ]not my most even handed[, yet the image...where does this come from¿ What in google¿

Funnier still is the alicesshoe—video, I did own a Kawasaki Ninja 900 and ride, however, I wouldn't be following this closely, nor passing to the outside lane on a blind corner. See that¿ At 2:20, almost kissed the bus this person.

Real name video, is Seth McFarlane's Harvard Class Day Speech as Peter Griffin.
The next in line is Peter, Bjorn & John — Young Folks song video. That's funny too.

Real photo of myself, with the exception I'm sporting a Seth Bullock, from "Deadwood".

Well... the name's the same. ;^)
