While looking through my blog stats the other night I noticed the odd occurrance that I kept getting linked by random websites, but not links in terms of actual visits. No, links in terms of "people are linking to a picture on my site and putting it on their own." I did some more digging and found out it was the Tom Cruise ala Risky Business picture I took back in 2002 (the blog on that whole thing here). And then I dug deeper. As in, dozens of sites have my Risky Business picture on their site, deeper. An online men's clothing store has me up as their Underwear Collection picture. A Spanish movie blog has me up below a picture of Risky Business movie poster. And the picture appears on at least a dozen MySpace pages in the comments section.

"That's really odd," Kellie said, watching me discover all the sites that had up a picture of me in my underwear. Then she smiled and announced, "I have an idea..."

That's when she went to Google and image searched "risky business". And what came up as the very first result (ahead of REAL pictures of Tom Cruise in Risky Business?). Well, I'm guessing you can figure out the answer to that question.

I can see the excerpt from my obituary now. "Mr. Eisenberg truly rose to fame in his late 20's as an underwear model after a picture of him reenacting the famous scene from Risky Business became a web sensation."

...Or maybe it'll just say, "Mr. Eisenberg is survived only by his pet Goldfish, Ishmael." It's really one or the other.
