"can they get rid of any humans who are fans of shitheads like Kanye West, 50 Cent, or any other piece of crap "artist" who thinks they're all that?

And also get rid of anyone who has posted retarded shit on the internet."

Every now and then I get emails that are meant for someone else. This person obviously has a similar name to me as my email is "firstname.lastname@gmail.com". What has spun me out is that this person lives in the same town my mum lives in and i grew up in. I don't have a common name, neither first nor last.

In all of the (English speaking) world, this first person to have a similar name to me lives near where I grew up!

Tonight I got an order confirmation for some indian takeout, to be delivered. This person, with the same name as me, lives less than 200m from my mum's house.

My name clone is an Indian dude in Australia somewhere who works in the corrections system. I keep getting Gumtree replies to poo poo he's selling. 3 years running now.

Please note, I'm white as gently caress, with a not-overly-common-surname. But my email address works out to this guys name.

Ah well, its just funny most of the time.

Recently I’ve been receiving emails meant for another person with a similar name who lives in Ireland. They seem to own a vintage Jaguar or are at least very interested in signing up the the Irish Jag Owners club mailing list.

Orlando isn't perfect but it's pretty loving good. In contrast, I was done with Vegas after 3 days.

My last name is fairly rare so name clones aren't terribly common.

My name clone is a RC priest in the Wisconsin. :angel: I hope to christ he isn't a pedo, seems like a decent enough guy though.

I have a fairly common last name spelled the normal way, but not my strange way, which led to some fun when I was a 20-ish because a guy with my name but with my surname spelled the common way died in a car accident, was the same age as me, and lived not terribly far away. That led to various condolences given to the family and at least 1 minor heart attack when I showed up somewhere a year later and got the "I..... I... thought you were dead!"

Nope! :smuggo:

My name clone lives a few hours away in W. Ma and we are friends on the FB. It still trips people up when someone inevitably tags us incorrectly. On a recent trip to W. Ma, it happened to pass that I was in his area, but he had actually taken a trip up to my area. Forces were balanced and tragedy was avoided.

My name clone is some guy who's got about 20 years on me and lives in Texas and dates some chick who looks like she's from Faces of Meth who once tagged me as her boyfriend instead of him.

The fallout from that was interesting, especially since my mother actually thought it was true until I proved to her that other people with my name exist.

Hell, he's not the only one from Texas, there's a grave marker with my name on it for someone who lived and died in the first half of the 20th century.

E: For the record I have never been to Texas and it is extremely unlikely that I ever will visit that state. There's actually two genetically distinct groups of people with my last name, a larger one, and a smaller one, I'm part of the smaller one, our family name got changed at Ellis Island and the spelling is the only thing that ties the two groups together at all.

I already did that to the Civic. It turned out really good but then I lost my work space and didn't get to do the final sand or clear.

I saw a harlequin e46 on my drive home yesterday. It was debadged but had the front 3/4 vents. I don't know enough about e46 variants to say if this was a legit M3 or not.

I guess what I'm getting at is you should do a full TVR style harlequin respray at home and fully document the process for us.

I mean I would think the liquid is his like “life force” and kool aid man would not survive without it, but the pitcher is his body and as such seems to be a living entity.

Also I seem to have a few name clones as I snagged my name @gmail when it was invitation only. A semi well known black college basketball coach and then someone who seems to trade in their Toyota sequoias or highlanders fairly often

Orlando might have its problems, but at least the city has some kind of identity outside of the theme parks. Like College park and Winter Park areas especially.

Vegas is just about everything being fake and excessive and is just shut all around. If I could do it over again, I'd stay in Orlando. But for now I'm just going to focus my energy on moving further west, before I consider driving across the country for the 4th time.

Dogs can't vote however I do believe candidates should be tested with a known set of dogs. Imagine if instead of the current bullshit, America chose their favourite dog. Then those dogs combined to choose the candidate they felt best represented America as a whole and that dog got to choose the president.

Wait.
