Don’t meth with me

A few weeks ago, I was thoroughly amused to find a Russian skiing forum wondering if I was a one-legged skier. But while that was good comedy from my perspective, I have stumbled onto more comedy in my site referrals. And this time, it’s in English.

This particular referral led back to a thread on an internet forum for Michigan State Spartan fans. The thread was started by a poster named SpartanOfficer; for reasons known only to nobody, he posted about a meth lab raid in which he had participated. You’d think this would have nothing to do with me, right?

Wrong. After all, we’re dealing with the alternate universe of MSU fans.

A few posts into the thread, another forum member posted a picture of me — Sgt. Wolverine — and the friendly UM Army guy, and he garnished it with this snarky question: “Two of the perpetrators?”

And it didn’t stop there. Not only was I operating a meth lab — and you all thought I was going into the photography business! — but it seems that before I opened my meth lab, I was the lead singer for the Spin Doctors.


(I am definitely on the cover of Rolling Stone.)

So, to review, in the last month, the internet has taught me three things about myself:

  1. I am a one-legged skier
  2. Until recently, I operated a meth lab
  3. I am Chris Barron, the lead singer of the Spin Doctors

And now I’m wondering: first I looked like Josh Blue, now I look like Chris Barron … who could be next?
