Excuse me, but somebody mentioned this in a quiz that I was in, and I typed
this in to Google's search engine and it brought up your comments in a
message board forum!
I was hoping that you might be able to tell me what this means!

Regards

Alsi - you should have lied and told them you were the porn star. As they say on Fark.com - "Potter mistaken for Porn Star. Hilarity ensues"

Speaking of faked identities, I had a friend that was good at doing that. We were at this bar in Boston several years ago, and this girl comes up to him and says "Are you John?" (his name is Ian). The conversation went something like this from there:
Ian: "Yea! How did you know?"
Girl: "Amy said that you'd be wearing the cell phone on your belt"
Ian: "Oh yea, I always keep that here."
Girl: "Well, let me introduce you to my parents."
Ian: "Great!"
Girl: "Here is my Mom, and my dad"
Ian: (talking to mom) "You're far more attractive than they said you were. I see where your daughter gets her good looks from." Mom - blushes

This banter continues on for a bit until Ian excuses himself, and finds me. "We need to leave." "Why?" "Trust me on this one."

Crazy bastard.

Shush, or you'll get Mini-Hong popping up.

The best email I got was from some guy in Texas. He read some of the martial artist prestige classes on my D&D page, thought they were real, and wanted to join one.

Although I also get questions from time to time about Anne Frank, due to an essay I put up some time back. I answer those seriously, although I can't really do much except point them to the big websites.
