So i was bored and tried
google'ing myself to see what turned up. Apart from most of my own pages on the vikkel.com/vikkel.dk domains quite a few odd hits appeared.
Hits are listed in their particular ranking on the day of posting
- Apparently there's an actress by that surname living somewhere in Russia?
- fair enough, I don't have anything against unknown moviestars.
- There's also some kind of event called Vikkel-fest. Im wondering a few things here:
a) why was I not invited?
b) if somebody named a party after me, could it at least be some rock thing instead of a folk-dance event?
c) does it come with skimpy chicks and lots of beer?
- Knitting is NOT for male IT-people, just so we are clear on that. Its what your grandmother does when she wants to make you a personal x-mas present. Anyway, somebody had the nerve to blog about some kind of technique referred to as vikkel braid. WTF is that..?
- While I'm listing all those insults, another author had to take it a step further and smother my name in some weird language.
I'm not even gonna guess what the hell it means.
- Another site mentions the Vikkel-fest. Must be a killer party!
- 3rd site mentions "the fest". Maybe I should start taking accordion lessons and make a surprise visit next year..?
- Finally a little testosterone input - sadly it turns out to be some bodybuilder-freaks forum profile. To make matters worse, its some Dutch dude. I'm imagining a stoned-off-the-chart 300 lbs steroid-meathead. Eeek! Run Forrest, RUN!
- Arrg! somebody else mentions knitting. Quick: do something manly!!!
Words of advice, if you get bored - don't google yourself - you'll only end up making jokes about yourself.
Anyways, Vikkel is not my real name - but its the closest you get while adhering to the unified character-set allowed in domains. Furthermore, I've been called by that name for 10 years now.
For the record, my name is Vikkelsø and im that laidback dude you see to the right. And no, I dont knit, or enjoy folk dancing, or shoot steroids, or act in Russian movies or anything like that. I just write silly posts on this blog while drinking beer.
