It’s been a while since I checked out what the almighty Google has to say. In the standard Google Meme, you take your first name and then a verb and report the first thing Google returns for that search. But with my very common first name I sometimes have to proceed down a few entries to find one suitable for publishing. (If you are curious why I edit, google “Dan likes” and check out the first two results. Might be OK if I were of a different sexual persuasion and lived south of the border, but not for the current reality.)<\/i><\/p>\n
Here is my version of the Google Meme with commentary. Note that keeping score is important!<\/p>\n
Dan needs: Your help.<\/b>
This is right on the button. I need your help finding a real live job. Any and all offers considered.<\/i>
Google: +1.<\/p>\n
Dan looks like: he’s kind of checking out the Angel’s rack.<\/b>
\u00c2\u00a0-or-
Dan looks like: a Ninja.<\/b>
Given that I don’t know the Angel, I kind of doubt I’d be doing that. I also bear no resemblance to a Ninja the last time I looked.<\/i>
Google: -1.<\/p>\n
Dan likes: showing his butt on Flickr.<\/b>
Google strikes out again. At least to the best of my knowledge, I don’t even have a picture up on Flickr, let alone one that shows that particular part of my anatomy.<\/i>
Google: -1.<\/p>\n
Dan wants: to be a stripper.<\/b>
I guess I can go with this one. I’ve never really considered it as a career option, but I figure I could clear the room in seconds with no problem. Oh, you mean I’m supposed to attract people? Never mind.<\/i>
Google: -1.<\/p>\n
Dan does: It<\/b>
\u00c2\u00a0-or-
Dan does: your radar reach Iowa?<\/b>
I guess I do it. It all depends on which it I guess. But I definitely don’t have a radar and so I don’t think it reaches Iowa.<\/i>
Google: 0.<\/p>\n
Dan hates: SPAM.<\/b>
Google nails one.<\/i>
Google: +1.<\/p>\n
Dan goes: cynical.<\/b>
\u00c2\u00a0-or-
Dan goes: to the wrong house after the bar.<\/b>
Once again a problematic one to score. Google hit it on the nose with the cynical, but so far as I remember I have never gone to the wrong house after the bar. Maybe Google knows something I don’t.<\/i>
Google: +1.<\/p>\n
Dan loves: Me.<\/b>
\u00c2\u00a0-or-
Dan loves: eggs.<\/b>
Well if you are L or family or … from real life, yes I do love you. But if you are a random stalker from Peoria, maybe not. And the egg thing? Not too much.<\/i>
Google: 0.<\/p>\n
Dan has: a lot of Stuff to do.<\/b>
\u00c2\u00a0-or-
Dan has: Potential.<\/b>
\u00c2\u00a0-or-
Dan has: No Friends.<\/b>
Well, there is some truth to all of the above. I’d probably give Google a -1 for the no friends remark, but I could go with the potential. And I certainly to have a lot of stuff to do, so have fun and give the Google oracle a try to see how your \u00c2\u00a0life is going.<\/i>
Google: +1<\/p>\n
