2. Google your screen name and then look at the
urls.. most will be democraticunderground, but some will not..

the ones that are not...just click cached, and scroll until you see your name highlighted within their site:)

8. yup.. I added "democraticunderground" to yours and put " " around your name too
Edited on Fri Jan-02-09 12:54 AM by SoCalDem
and a few came up, but yours is a tricky one..

Mine used to be a snap, until someone appropriated the exact same name on "that other site that shall not be named"..and then went on her/his merry way, trashing Obama and hurray-ing Hillary to the nth degree/..so now when I look, I am likely to get a schizoid mish-mash..and back in '01, someone called SoCalDemo did some election analysis that was attributed to me in error..

12. Okay, thanks
:)

I had considered adding "democraticunderground" to the search terms but I guess I was confused about the intent of the OP ;)

Wait a minute! I got a DUzy and I wasn't aware of it? I thought they gave notice of that... :o

9. For a while a bunch of people were stealing an illustration I did of a friend of mine.
It was even used to promote a Benny Benassi concert.

14. i googled my name one time and found a link to a woman's myspace page
she had a poem i had published in a national magazine (years ago) and she also included the author's name (mine). it was the best compliment i can ever remember getting (because that poem was published about twenty years before--she kept it all those years...wow)

15. I googled Derek Halfhand.
Edited on Fri Jan-02-09 04:53 AM by RandomThoughts
When I started using that name, only the original Berek from the novel was on search engines.

It seems there are lots of them, although, alas, probably not copies, but just a natural progression as more names are created duplicates would arise.

But its funny, lots of Derek Halfhands now, but back in the day, many years ago, it was a unique name. (Except for Berek Halfhand ofcoarse)

There is a rich couple in front of a painting sporting the Derek Halfhand label.

Not me of coarse, but a bit funny. last post in 2006 also
http://derek239.blogspot.com/

On a side note, they got a bird picture from Virginia, and they live in UK.
-----------
Another google match here
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=16528352
again not me of coarse. Odd they got Berek's name wrong.

Then there are a few game players that use the name now
http://www.amtgardrecords.com/chapter.php?chapterID=274

But I can't complain, I got name from a book anyway, so sure they did also.


Just for fun,
remember the 2003 chats :)

17. What is the "Wutang Clan"? I've heard the expression before but don't know what it implies
or who the clan is.
