I AM...Bobby Teenager
When I published Col. Plug's article a couple of weeks ago, I started seriously thinking about the benefits and the drawbacks of having my real name on this site. I think my name was the only one on the internet which could be googled with "shampoo bottles up twats" and not lead to a page by which you have to pay a $4.95 per-month subscription. And while there are many factors that have led to my record-long unemployment, I can't help but picture some head of HR holding my resume while googling my name, and concluding that the kid who just applied to be assistant editor writes 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books in his spare time which feature multiple scenarios of little girls being maimed.
Nevertheless, I made a pros-and-cons list of keeping my name on the site, perhaps not wanting to recognize the inevitable. My findings:
PROS:
- 'Oh hey, ____ _____'s website. He's funny. I'll tell all of my friends about this, and keep reading. Oh, sick, Red Sox Tickets on StubHub!'**
CONS:
- 'Sweet, ____ _____'s blog. Bet this is as funny as a documentary on Armenian genocide. GOD this kid blows.'
- Employers finding this.
- Any relative older than 35 finding this.
- People hiring me finding this.
Well, it was time, and for a pseudonym, there was only ever one choice. You know when you walk into some movie theaters, and there is a massive ID on the wall, (I guess) meant to discourage precocious teenagers from sneaking into Unfaithful or something? He's a resident of Anytown, USA, and he resides at 123 Main St.?

Well, he's the new administrator of this site.
** 1:45 pm - This joke would have been funny/made sense if google didn't deactivate my adsense account today for "improper clicking activity", which I would have been angrier about if it wasn't totally and completely true. Could have used the $105 it accrued, though.
