| Admit it! You are a bit childish!
Hi!
I found this list of "59 Things a Man Should Never Do Past 30", and decided to check how many puerile things on the list I had done. How many have you done? Fess up in the poll! On to the list: Quote: |

6. Hang art with tape.

21. Hug amusement-park characters.
22. Wear Disney-themed neckties.

34. Wear Converse All Stars with a tuxedo.
35. Propose via stadium Jumbotron.
36. Decide anything based on the ruminations of Howard Stern.
37. Call "shotgun" before getting in a car.
38. Dispute someone else's call of "shotgun."
39. Whine.
40. Mist up during Aerosmith's "Dream On."
41. Purchase fireworks.
42. Google the word v*gina.
43. Ride a pony.
44. Sport an ironic mustache.
45. Hit 13 against a 6.
46. Organize a party bus.
47. Say "two points" every time he throws something in the trash.
48. Buy a novelty postcard in another country of topless women on a beach and write, "Wish you were here" on it.
49. Keg stands.
50. Purchase home-brewing paraphernalia.
51. The John Travolta point-to-the-ceiling-point-to-the-floor dance move; also that one from Pulp Fiction.
52. Put less than ten dollars' worth of gas in the tank.
53. Keep a minuscule amount of marijuana extremely well hidden.
54. Read The Fountainhead.
55. Watch the Pink Floyd laser light show at a planetarium.
56. Refer to his girlfriend's breasts as "the twins."
57. Own a vanity plate.
58. Whippits.
59. Say goodbye to anyone by tapping his chest and even so much as whispering, "Peace out." | I had done 5 items (you guess which!) on the list before reading it, and as a testament to my immaturity, I did google the v-word upon reading item#42. It produced 28.8 million google hits. I then combined that word with the text string "Peter Gustafsson" which produced 9 hits. One of those listed my name as "phographer" and another in the "Golf Gazette", I do not know which is more unsettling or funnier in the context.  I then proceeded to test with various other f.net names to see if someone else would beat the score of 9. Inquartata held the lead with 19 hits for a long time, until a score of 74 hits was achieved. I will let it be a exercise for the reader as to whom that person is.
OK - how many had you done? Answer the poll!
Have a nice time!

| Following PG's example, I did Google my real name along with the word Vag*na. Surprisingly, it did turn up a hit... some apparently crazy person blogging about me based on a newspaper article they'd read... followed by separate discussion that required the use of the word Vag*na.
I was a little disturbed...

| Whoa. Maybe I did it wrong but I got 202 hits.
It looked like a bunch of references to the show V*gina Monologues.

Worryingly, the top hit was about Balinese elephants, and the second was something that can't be discussed on a family forum.....

| I got 697K hits when I just googled my name and the word under discussion--but that is probably because both my family and given names are fairly common normal words as well. When I put my name in parens, I got 61 hits.
There is evidently some semi-perverse individual with my name out there, from what I could judge from those 61 hits....

Which supports the premise of the thread.

As for me, I confess that I answered yes to 2 on the list - #17 and #37 - and the latter only because I suffer from serious motion sickness.
Yeah, I did the juvenile google thing and come up with 0 hits. I've googled my own name before and come up with myself (my pathetic fencing results and some software-related junk), a housewife in California who's involved in her kids' school activities, and a teenaged gamer. Not a very common name. Happily, no nasty posts by any ex. Maybe chivalry's not dead.
