My reputation is having more fun than I am.

That's been true for me for over a decade.

[deguspice.livejournal.com]

You mean the stories about you and the aardvarks are not true?

[whitebird.livejournal.com]

That would be disappointing.

[kjc.livejournal.com]

Sorry, man. *snif*

[kjc.livejournal.com]

Absolutely not. I categorically deny any events relating to or about aardvarks.

[bikergeek.livejournal.com]

me three.

Isn't that the way of things? If I'd had as much fun as my reputation, I'd be dead of sexual exhaustion by now.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Mine gets around more than I do.

[jbsegal.livejournal.com]

Travels, or "Gets around"?

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Damn- and we assumed Britney Spears shaved her head cause you dumped her!

[mrw42.livejournal.com]

Britney Spears shaved her head?!? Weird.

So, what have you been up to when you weren't paying attention? :)

Here's what I wrote a year ago about the hot action.

The Ultimate Nerd Date

If you model the spread of a rumor as a stocastic process occuring between graph nodes, with nodes having a chance to pass the rumor to neighboring nodes as the product of how interesting (unexpected, novel, prurient) the rumor is and how gossipy the node is, and if each time the rumor is spread a random change is made, the rumors to which errors that increase its interest level occur will spread much further.

This sounds like a model that has some congruence with reality.

Genetic propagation rears it's ugly head...

[rmd.livejournal.com]

yeah, my reputation usually has wilder fun than i do.

[kimberlogic.livejournal.com]

mine too. hmm ...

[totient]

perhaps you could look at it more as your reputation getting into more trouble than you are.

[xthread.livejournal.com]

I believe that is the way of all things..
Although my impression is that sometimes the rumors are really good...

[koshmom.livejournal.com]

L.L. Bean.

'nuf said.

[awfief.livejournal.com]

I think my reputation is at the same party as your reputation :)

[oneagain.livejournal.com]

I have not a clue what my reputation is.

I am curious what yours is, though, as I have apparently missed it:)

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

What has your reputation been doing behind your back?

[madbodger.livejournal.com]

Join the club. Granted, I've made offers to several of the people complaining that their
rep has more fun than they do. At least I'm trying to do something about it,
but apparently this only increases the fun my reputation has.
