Gary,
How many hits do you get when you trying the other spellings of the name?
Dwayne
Dewayne
Gary is pretty much spelled 1 way.
And you actually get cities named Gary.Duane Eggert

There is also the double "r" spelling, but that one`s just part of the
overall conspiracy of engravers....
In any case, I`m sure if we googled all three spellings of Duane we might
come up with a per capita hate index that rivals those who hate
Gary. You`re still not going to get called "very hairy, scary _Duane_ the
merry berry fairy" except by the lamest rhymers. (Though now that I think
of it that may have inspired a theme for a new awnshegh....)

Really? I got over 5,000,000 hits when I tried it.
Though I didn`t use the precise quotation mark that you did. Just any
association with "hate" and "Gary" sounded appropriate to me. Here`s some of
the most popular Garies to hate: Gary Payton, Gary Coleman, Gary Halbert,
Gary Sheffield, Gary the location manager, Gary Bettman, Gary Durney, Gary
Numan, Gary Graham, and many others...
I don`t know how you only got 608 hits for "hate gary." From what I see,
there`s a near infinite source of Gary-haters out there. In fact, I typed "I
hate Gary" into a search engine and got almost 6,000 hits. "you hate Gary"
yielded 400 hits and included such topics as "do you hate Gary, too?" or "if
you hate Gary and you want to hurt him in some way." In fact, "hurt Gary"
yielded 900 hits, about half of "kill Gary." If you think you can hide,
you`re wrong. There`s about 26,500 hits for "find Gary." You must have been
really bad in a past life to come back as a Gary. How do you sleep at night?

Did you put the respective words inside the quotes? "hate Gary" and "hate
Duane". If you just google the words you`ll get all sites that have the
word "hate" and the name "Gary" on them. Granted, you`ll miss the people
who hate Gary or Duane enough to use a few adjectives... as in, "I hate
that jackass Gary" but it`s really just a benchmark, after all.

Reimer, You are close, you would be able to receive 22 RP instead of 11 though and that one level of scion class is available to you if you want it. That is, as I understand it.

Have you ever noticed that characters in film and TV named "Gary" are
always hopeless nerds or obnoxious jocks? There`s never a Gary that`s the
hero.... At least, not that I`ve ever seen. I`m convinced it`s a
conspiracy of all the Daves, Steves and Erics. Could be worse, I
suppose. Not a lot of heroic characters named Sheldon...
Unfortunately, if kids on the playground have to work too hard to make fun of your first name in a rhyming manor, they are always free to attack your last name. In grade school I was commonly refered to as "Sheldon Cooper the pooper scooper" Boy, the brainiacs it took to assign me that profession I tell you.Regards,

Sorry Reimer, Irdeggman already answered your question, and probably better than I did.
That should teach me to start typing a reply, go to lunch, and then come back and THEN finish it and click the submit reply button.Regards,
Ausrick
