It gives me night terrors.

My children, if I ever have any, will be able to google me.

    I wouldn’t lose sleep over the prospect. Kids are pretty good at finding things to use against their parents in the course of daily life. They’ll probably get your goat without even bothering to Google you.

    My kids can get anything they like if they are clever enough to do it. But I will be damned if any kid of mine ever finds any of my goats. If I had wanted them around the house I would have kept them there.

    To Google is human. We all do it, and they will too. Luckily, there’s time to clean up your act before your children come along.

    Andrew, are they meat goats or dairy goats?

    Dairy. I don’t like the way meat goats give you the eye, always gotta size you up. It makes a man uncomfortable.

    I expect it’s an unusual sort of man who can live under the scrutiny of a meat goat.

    I don’t show up ANYWHERE on Google. I don’t know whether to be relieved, insulted, or concerned at my lack of impact…

    I probably have it pretty bad, because the other person with my name posts theories on true crime websites about who killed that little girl in Colorado in the 90s (Jon Benet?). The forum usually breaks down to people saying “MyFirstName MyLastName killed Jon Benet!”.

    He also thinks he met the DC sniper before his rampage and has personally discovered King Solomon’s tomb in Israel.

    Whew! I just get mixed up with an ex-girlfriend of Elvis Presley, a Celtic musician, and a B-movie actress of the 1940s/1950s.

    Google me and you get a shocker of a poem from the mid-1990s on the clusterflock site (what was I thinking?).

    Oh well, at least Henry won’t confuse me with a “a young woman of the RLDS faith” that used to come up first.

    Anyway, the REALLY bad stuff happened well before Google could get its grubby mitts on it!
