I'm on 3 different Facebook pages...

[HardyGirl]

...and I'm not even on Facebook! Weird, right?

Have any of you who aren't on Facebook had someone tell you that you're on there somewhere?

I usually have someone I knew from high school or college post things. I don't have any "skeleton in the closet" photos, so I'm cool.

We are such a transparent society these days, I would venture to guess that there must be at least a third of the total US population that one could find pictures of online.

I'm willing to bet it's more than that-- I get several emails a month saying; "Hey dude, did you know there's a picture of you coming out of such and such restaurant on facebook (or whatever)?" I'll go look and sure enough, there I am... Totally bizarre and random. To me anyway, that stuff is pretty scary.

Firstly because of the obvious fact that the picture is there, and secondly (and even more frightening) is that there are people out there looking for pictures of you-- I dunno... Weird.

I also get pictures in the mail from time to time, asking to send them back with a signature, that I've never seen before. I'm talking about completely random stuff-- Like me coming out of the water with my surfboard at the beach or sitting in a car on the freeway. I 'm not kidding-- Totally crazy stuff.

What's even more bizarre that that:

The first time I met Sharry at the little get together in Oakland last year, I realized that I'd seen her picture before. Turns out, I'd seen her on some random Krofft fan page, with Johnny Whitaker. This was before I even joined the museum and knew who she was. Trippy stuff like that happens all the time in this internet driven world.

Wow, Sharry, I'd wager that's the largest number of comments a custom Mego has ever gotten in any forum. 263 Comments, 824 people "Liked" it. Impressive! Of course, some of the comments are not positive, but who cares? You made a cool thing that people responded to.

So...um...can we post about that on the Mego Museum Facebook page?

Sharry, is the guy who runs the site, The Official Rick Springfield, calling your custom trash? I'm not sure what his meaning is.

There are some youtube videos of me. I don't know how that could be because I distinctly remember sending Acroray the extortion money.

I don't have another FB page but someone tried to steal my identity and started a FB page using my name. My last name has a distinct spelling; different from people named "Michaels". They even friended several former employees from work I knew. I told them it wasn't me via email but they didn't unfriend the page. It leads me to believe another co-worker is behind this. Otherwise how did they know who contact and add as friends?

Sandy, someone started a page for you but since you don't actually run it I'm not a member:

Then, I'd be on a 4th page? Sure....why not? Post away!

Actually John, Rick himself posted that from his hotel room after I gave him that figure. No, he's not calling it trash. If you read it again, he does call it a COOL figure. I think he's referring to toy geeks who still live w/ their moms to get up and DO something.

I'll have to check myself.., I have refused to do Facebook, and my wife tries to keep my name off, other than for a photo caption or something.

Yeah, I'm missing out on a few family discussions, but I'm ok with that.

that's actually just his Wikipedia entry. It appears that Facebook automatically generates pages for things with Wikipedia pages.

No wall posts or photos or the other things that typify the fan run or company/personality run pages created by individuals on Facebook.

Someone should start a fan page... I noticed that there was some Facebook support for the Shallow Water kickstarter campaign on FB, and it would have been cool for some kind of central FB hfor to promote his past/present projects. Perhaps an official Collora studios page.

Here's the Batman dead end fan page...

There is a couple of Hunter/prey pages as well...

Its interesting that I know what many of you look like, would recognize you on the street but have never met you in person because of pictures on the net.

It also because I stalk most of you on rotating basis.

I have never posted a picture of myself beyond the age of 8 on FB, yet you can see me in high school, college and the various stages of hair loss since thanks to others posting them.

Awesome! It is done.

[torgospizza]

Of course, some of the comments are not positive, but who cares? You made a cool thing that people responded to.

I just quickly looked through the comments, and it seems to me there are more people saying "I want one!" than there are people saying "It doesn't look like him!" Scott's right--people really seemed to like it, and it also seems like a fairly large group doesn't realize it's a custom. That's pretty cool!

[HardyGirl]

Awesome! It is done.

Cool beans, Scott! Thank you!

I know...and I find that sooo funny....that people think that Rick dug up this figure from an auction or Ebay or some such thing. That it's a vintage figure. But Rick and I know the truth. Eat your hearts out, Rick chicks!
