100th Episode Spectacular: A Celebration of Phil

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Well… this is the 100th published article on TheBoySaunders. I hesitate to say the 100th article that I’ve written (there’s still a few floating around in ‘draft’ status about, for example, how much I hate Che Guevara, or my five simple steps to improve professional football (the article’s entitled ‘Shaunders Shaves Shoccer’)).

Anyway, I thought I’d celebrate with a few random links and other assorted miscellanea:

* The first article that shows up in a Google search for ”The Boy Saunders”: Interesting that this should be a throwaway article about a Turkish holiday. Personally, I thought that the one about a dog urinating in another dog’s mouth was far more exciting.
* Another ‘TheBoySaunders‘ blog, authored by a Brummie who, frankly, sounds like he may need professional help. There was one blog entry in March 2008 and, since then… nothing.

* Other blogs by people called ‘Phil Saunders’:
Darth Phil - Brummie (sense a theme here?) librarian who I once sold a home insurance policy to whilst working at a call centre. Hilarity ensued when it was noticed that we both had the same name…
Phil Saunders’ Random Stuff - a graphic designer from California.
Philsaunders.com - a long redundant blog(?) that has stubbornly held onto the coveted ‘.com’ address.

* Other people called ‘Phil Saunders’:
Phil Saunders Cash and Carry!
Phil Saunders the Green Party candidate!
And, from Wikipedia, the biography of Philip ‘Flip’ Saunders (former coach of the NBA Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves) and the E.Philip Saunders College of Business in Rochester, USA!

I trust that this has been an interesting and insightful journey into the online Phil Saunders presence…
