I google my name once in a while. Just to see what proceedings might be on their way down the pike.

I share the exact same name with a minister from Colorado. And we both have the same internet domain name, except his is .ORG and mine is .COM.

So, some years ago, I got an email from a lady asking if I was the minister. I already had cooresponded with him, so I knew who she meant, and I tried to convince her that I was not him. I even emailed her with his correct domain. But apparently she didn't believe me, thought I was joking, or maybe she just had made up her mind on the matter. So she just kept emailing me with jokes and invitations to hospital fundraisers (she is a nurse at a religious med center).

I kept trying to set her straight for a long time. But I was in her address book and she just would not give it up.

Eventually I got tired of it and decided to make it a game. She invited me to some kind of church event, lunch IIRC, so I wrote back saying it sounded great, but instead of lunch why don't we blow that off and go to a motel. Told her how I had always had a secret desire to xxxxxxx. When she wrote back I could tell she was surprised (I'm supposed to be a minister, after all), but she didn't refuse either. So I just stepped it up in a couple of more emails. She never did say no. If the real guy showed up, I hope they had a good time.

I'm not certain she ever did really understand that I wasn't that guy, or maybe she was just having fun with it all. She still sends me a joke or note once in a while, and for kicks I'll add her name to something I send out as well. I'm glad that CO is a good distance from CA.

 

That's a good one Bill! And if the real guy did show up, he's probably still in traction or dead.

 

Kind of a scary back to the future thing you have going for you. Where does the FTE john fall in the timeline? You may have to go save yourself from being a lawyer.

 

Apparently, I'm a master stylist...whatever that may be. Along with someone on Facebook and someone else who runs half marathons

 

I share my name with an ex Major League Baseball player. I was going to play it off like it was me....but he's black and I'm not, so it probably wouldn't have fooled even the dumbest chicks.

 

I am a well known Irish folk singer apparently LOL

 

Yeah Rob but the real question is can you do the River Dance?

 

My name says I am a Gentleman of midieval times who saved a young women from 2 bandits by driving them away with my Sword.

Also a Vice President of business development and a VP/strike coordinator for the teamsters.

More fitting is I have a shrimp dinner named after me in a Italian restaurant in CA, which also is my family name..

 

They're obviously mistaken...Don and the word gentleman are not compatible terms!!!

 

So do I!... Billy Wilson, Pitcher for the Phillies in the 70's
I could go through 100 pages and never find me.
But, i share my name with a short story by Edger Allan Poe.
Author and Japanese Translator, A President, Co-Founder of AA.
Ex-President of AOL MediaGlow, Indiana's finest Singer/Song writer of Folk, Country, Rock and Blues. Pastor of Metro Ministries, Bill Wilson AKA Wilson Combat, and the Best one, Bill aka Number Dummy. I could do 100 pages of people with the same name as me

 

That means you can style yourself.

 

I seem to have a fairly common name - I share it with a musician (unsure of style - southern? blues?), a balladeer in the UK, a photographer, an actor, and a bunch of other folks ranging from real estate agents to attorneys, to whatever...

 

Type in your first name, then the word goes. If I remember right, it said that I went to rehab.

 

Hmm... Mine says I entered the world of Technical Diving (whatever the crap that is...)

 

Some punk on a rice burner bike on Facebook, Some really ugly guy on Facebook, Some Chef, Some Doctor in Pennsylvania, some sleezy lawyer, Some Captain born in 1879, Some guy born in 1557, a chiropractor, Some loser that works at a museum, and that's the first page...
