This is a person you discover when Googling your own name. It is someone who has the same first and last names as you do.
Which is all fine and good when you have a “normal” first and last name, like, fer instance, Mr. Anonymous does. Or Mrs. Anonymous, for that matter.
But when you have a weird-ass family name like I do, there aren’t a lot of Googlegängers out there for you to discover.
If I recall correctly, there is a second “Nanuk of the North” out there, and she is from Syracuse, New York. I suppose it would be kinda cool to meet her. If only to ask her how many people consistently mispronounce her name. Or ask her if she is Chinese? Or tell her she doesn't look Chinese. Or ask her if her father was Chinese.
On the National Poetry Month front: what rhymes with Googlegänger? I can’t wait to find out!

mr anon is also esp lucky to have had a movie made about his exploits in chinaown starring mickey rourke
Indeed - I was in a bar in my hometown when said movie came out and the waitress (who went to high school with the blogmistress and I) came over and started quoting the ad. I didn't know what she was talking about, not knowing Mr. Rourke had done me such a service.
for which you were handsomely compensated, no?
Not sure about the pronounciation with that little thingy above the a, but doppleganger? which is probably what it means anyway.....
I, too, have a googleganger
He just happens to be my dad.
Hardly very exciting, I'd say
In fact, it's somewhat sad.
JAW fan.
alternate poem for the adult crowd:
Wanted to meet my googleganger
Turns out he was a noodlebanger.
By noodle, of course, I mean wang
And, oh, how low that wang did hang.
(will end poem here...I could very easily get out of control.)
That alternate is quite the poem for 7:26 in the morning. I like that the last line has a bit of Dr. Seuss-iness to it.
harvey-porn meets one fish two fish red fish blue fish?
Wow I didn't know I was the blonde on CSI - cool. Me and Mr. Anon-Rourke should get some kinda pay out. At least a free stay in vegas?
