You Won't Find My Panties on eBay, But You Can Marinade Like A Pro

At this point, I'm convinced that any somewhat-saavy user of Al Gore's Internet has Googled themselves to see what comes up. I have done this a number of times and under my name, usually the following results appear:

1. cookbooks for sale by someone with my same name (apparently she's a meister with barbecue);
2. articles about some lady with my name who scandalously stayed at the White House when Clinton (who I love, by the way, make no mistake) smoked too much dope and mistook the White House for a Motel 6, or a Reno brothel, and rented rooms to some key campaign contributors;
3. a listing on my high school alumni website (scary), and an old article in the Cincinnati Post that quotes me discussing the rapture and suspense in the first season of "Survivor".

So while looking to kill time in lieu of doing actual work, I decided to put a spin on the Googling and look myself up on eBay, secretly hoping to find that someone was trying to put my panties up for sale or something.

Much to my disappointment, the only items that came up under my name were some more grilling cookbooks, a book about the best little marinades, and an in-depth look at how to prepare fish and shellfish.

This was so fascinating to me (or I was so bored), that I started looking up the names of some of the links of fellow bloggers to whom I link. So if you're interested, you can check out and feel free to bid on the Keeler Polygraph, the Osgood Abercrombie Moose Sweater, the Segura Pitcher and a Bowl, or the Weston Hot Air Balloon Handbag Purse (?). Hopefully the proceeds will go to the right people, or else I just wasted a half an hour of your time on eBay.

Upon further review, the Segura Pitcher and Weston Purse are no longer available. But hurry up to put your bid in on other items.

So I gave you shit when I was your student. But I was funny. Who else would have made fun of Mark Schoonover and pointed out how drunk McTigue was every Thursday morning? Not to mention entertain you with Grant, Burley, and Matt Medvecz hockey stories? And then, when you thought there was no drama to be had, I dated one of my "students" who was hot, but the dumbest pothead known to man, JUST for your entertainment purposes. You must be a good friend, because I don't date people just to amuse my friends very often.

Just remember how funny I am when you're writing recommendations or giving me references. But don't mention any of that.
