Okay, I usually am not a big fan of blogging about the “OMG Google yourself and see what you find” memes. But this one is really fun. This was passed on to me by a hosting customer of mine, but I haven’t seen it make its way around the /. journal circle yet, so here we go.
The meme: Google the phrase “(Your name) looks like” and find the best one from the first page of results. Don’t forget to put it in quotes; otherwise it won’t work.
I went for it, Googled “Erica looks like” and got a hilarious page of results, but by far my favorite one was Erica Looks Like A Lion. (Yes! Click it! It’s a Flickr photo!) Now I do not know this Erica, but I can appreciate the inherent lioness in this Erica, as I feel I too have an inherent lioness.
My other favorite link, since we’re sharing, is Would the real Erica please stand up?, which is a blog entry about the trials and tribulations of being an Erica Vonderheid and meeting another Erica Vonderheid. I totally get what this Erica is saying, too, because I know if I met another Erica Douglass, well, that would just be freaky.
What can you guys find when you Google this phrase? Post away! I hope to see this make the /. journal rounds.

i’ve done that with my alias of “drexel” and it’s sooo much fun. my favorite was “drexel is a redneck lounge act that isn’t afraid to be comedic or weird.”

I just did that too, out of curiosity. This is one of the pages that came up, but my first result was “ERICA LOOKS LIKE SHE GOT SEVERLY BEATEN WITH THE UGLY STICK.”
I’m so proud.

Just thought I’d point out the irony in this popping up in a search for “Erica looks like.” I like the lion comparison.
