I am Bengie Molina

Kevin's post on Chasing Shadows today furthered three memes; one relatively new, one relatively old, and one he made up on his own.

The relatively new one involved doing a Google image search on your name. The first picture that comes back is "you". The first picture that came back for my name was a picture of Giants' catcher Bengie Molina's 2007 Topps Series 1 (or Series 2?) baseball card.

It came up because I wrote in to a Baseball Card blog about the fact that his card was the same in both their Series 1 and Series 2 releases.

The relatively old meme was the concept of figuring out your "Porn Name". I'm sure you've all heard this meme before, but I'll explain further just in case. The formula, probably carefully derived by the smartest 8th graders at Castillero Middle School (neé Castillero Junior High School), involves the following:

1) Your first pet's name is your "Porn Name" first name.
2) The name of the street (sans its title e.g., "Way") you grew up on is your "Porn Name" last name.

My Porn Name is: Mittens Zinfandel

Mittens Zinfandel, according to Google Image search

The meme that Kevin made up himself says that if you Google your name and the first link is to something about you, you can consider yourself a success. I am the third link, but links involving me make up a large majority of the first page.

I'll have to do something about that assistant professor at University of Southern Maine School of Business.
