BIZZARRO WORLD OF THE INNER CIRCLE

Having some fun with Google Seach at work on this Monday afternoon, I decided to create a Bizzarro World of the IC. For anyone who has not seen Seinfeld, Bizzarro World is like the same group of friends, yet different, in a bizzare world. The way that I came up with my Bizzarro World was by typing each of your names into the Google Search engine. In the photo above (in no particular order) is: Adam Williams, Adam Faust, Brian Weiss, Matt Chambers, Clint Brown, Lee Portillo, Marc Miller, Brent Lubahn, & Michael Mazur). Click the links below to find out who's who. Don't worry, all of the links are Work Friendly. Enjoy!

Adam Williams – Considering the fact that I have met 4 Adam Williams’s in my life, it comes to no surprise that the search result brings back 95,500 for “Adam Williams”. So after a little while of searching, I finally found Bizzarro Adam Williams (or is this just A-Chub 2 years ago?):

Clint Brown – Singer/Song Writer best know for his albums “Praise Heard Around The World” and “Back 2 Brown”. You probably won’t find Bizzarro Clint Brown revisiting his college days at IC reunions, but if we’re lucky we might blessed with a few lyrics of “Our God And Our King”:

Brent Lubahn – Ok, well I figured there had to be a handful of Brent Lubahn’s out there in this world. But to my surprise, all 45 results that came back are ALL the Brent Lubahn we know! Of course, it is amusing to see his work profile:

Oh wait, this might work for Bizzarro Brent:

Brian Weiss – Ok, if you are named “Brian Weiss” then it almost seems destiny for you to become a doctor, I found 4 different Doctor Brian Weiss’s (one who is actually very famous). I felt like that was OK for Bizzarro Brian, but it also just seemed too much like his dad. I wanted something more interesting, therefore I went with Kang’s Black Belt Academy. Bizzarro Brian Weiss is a 3rd Degree black belt and instructs at the JCC, which means he teaches “The Jews” (Borak voice):

Adam Faust Warning, do not type this name into a Google Search, especially if you are at work! Bizzarro Adam Faust is definitely a porn star, no matter how many pages you go through. I reluctantly tried Google Images, for whatever reason this came up so I’m just going to stick with it (don’t worry, it’s safe):

(Glad I’m done with that name)

Matt Chambers – OK, I’m not real sure what an “Oracle Suitcase” is, but judging by the background of this photo, it seems like Bizzarro Chambers is running some sort of underground drug ring. And judging by the condition he looks to be in…., well just look at the site and decide for yourself:

Michael Mazur – 90% of the search results of “Michael Mazur” came back as Michael Mazur the artist (which you can view at
http://www.michaelmazurart.com/). Once again though, this one just didn’t fit as Bizzarro Mazur in my world. After multiple pages of surfing, I came across this. I think most of you will agree (and I know Mazur will appreciate his sweet tattoo):

Marc Miller – Once again, a name with 90,000 search results (however, it also pulls MarK Miller’s as well – and we know that’s just not right). A lot to choose from and I am getting toward the end of this post and getting a little surfed out. My Bizzarro Miller is a guitarist out of Baltimore in the band Oxes. Oxes music has been called “Math Rock” or “Post-Punk”, however they do not subscribe to any music genre (typical Miller):

Lee Portillo – First of all, I found this link under “Lee Portillo” and I highly doubt that this is a Bizzarro Lee Portillo, but the real thing -
http://spurs.meetup.com/cities/us/ca/irvine/4157239/?ic=sn42

Unfortunately though, I could not find any images of “Lee Portillo”, however when I just typed “Portillo” into Google Images, I found my Bizzarro Portillo. Make you own conclusions on this guy:

Kevin Dalrymple - (I’ve just spent 2 hours at work searching the names of everyone in the IC. I have a real job to do now, so if you want to find a Bizzarro Kevin then you can search for it yourself.) Or you can just click here:

Well done Kev. I truly think Lee did start that Spurs meetup, even if it was in Irvine. Glad to see your job is not taking a toll on you. Careful though, I had a friend in Chicago who told me his editing job was sooooooo easy but....

Faust said...

I think I love Matt Chambers Oracle Suitcase Drug Dealer... that is wicked creepy.

What am I ralphie?

I especially enjoyed your collage... I think you have marketable talent. Did you do it in MS Paint? That was my favorite program growing up.

I think we should have a freehand MS Paint contest... winner gets to sleep with Gidget.

I have you as Ralph Wiggum because that was the first safe image I saw when I inputed "Adam Faust" into Google - not sure why. But like I said, the real bizzarro Faust is a Porn Star - Ralph is just to cover up indecency.

good b/c i didn't want to see bizarro fausts wang

i told bear i look like i should be in an episode of 24. don't shoot me jack, i'm just the messenger.

Adam said...

Kevin, this is glorious. You're a golden God.

- I could look at the Lubahn Searchwide site all day. Can we make that the background of the blog for a while? (By the way Brent, Kellie Henderson is a fine piece of darkness)

- Though Miller is in the band the Oxes, Faust had an `Oxes' t-shirt in '97.

- Did Portillo really start a Spurs group?

- Michael Mazur 1 and Michael Mazur 2 are soulmates: Big chests, tattoos, crazy poses for pictures, interest in quirky footwear

- Bizarro Portillo is Lee's revolutionary mugshot from Argentina.

Bizarro Chambers has reformed. He no longer deals for art students and poets in seedy Baltimore galleries.

Lee said...

Yes I did really try and start a spurs meet-up in LA a while back, its been lonely.. My post sounds a little desperate looking back at it now. Although B-dub was the one to point it out to me recently.

Who is gidget?

The Bear said...

Lee, I like the new icon.

Faust, answer Lee's question about Gidget.

The call's coming from inside the house!

By the way, Lee, `The call's coming from inside the house!' is brilliance.

Kevin Thurston, I kissed your mom.

Faust said...

I don't like this one bit. Fuck anyone who tries to infiltrate us.

Gidget is Miller's giant/mini poodle/yorkie.
