So this guy, he goes Googling for the name of a song he’s listening to at the time. The song’s called “Ball and Chain.” Turns out the top Google result for that phrase is, well, the ex-wife’s blog.
And then he and his buddy notice something. Namely, that my website domain bears a striking resemblance to, well, his buddy’s own domain.
And then, and boy do I know how to tell a story, he emails me (and his buddy) about it. We’ve been exchanging semi-snarky email for the last few hours, out of which has come the fact that he works for a radio station cluster in a geek-based role. Who’d have thunk it?
So what do you think? Does this mean I have a spiritual twin out there somewhere in the wilds of Minnesota? Or is he my Bizarro-world doppelganger? Or is he just another guy who identifies with colorless waterfowl?
You be the judge! (I’ll be the jury, he can be the executioner!)

And he’s even got linkage to bunny goodness =) Who’dve known *grin* (sorry… me lurves bunnies, off on a tangent there for a sec)
The real question here, is whether the Googler in question is an un-employed cable guy who dabbles in Linux. THAT would be evidence of a leak into parrallel realities. (Excepting that I would never have to google for the song “Ball and Chain”, as I have it on MP3. Social distortion, for those that are wondering.)
This is the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
Which only proves, m’dear, that you need to get out there and read more. 😉
*chuckles* Hey, I’ll have you know I’ve been reading Hello Kitty Fairy tales to a four year old all day…;)

Cyberwolfe, to answer your question, right before I googled “Ball and Chain” I was monkeying around with a program the Grayduck had made for a machine running Linux, that’s used to display song titles on our radio station’s Web site. Now neither myself, the Googler nor the Grayduck have worked in cable. Though, we have flipped quite a few pancakes together (at a previous job) and problem have stolen enough cable (back in the day – when we were hoodlums) to be put away for a couple lifetimes.
Hello. Kitty. Fairy. Tales. *runs screaming in terror*
Very nifty about the Grayduck! (Had to type that 4 times before I got it right, btw. *grin*)
