Your own personal venn diagram
I think about this from time to time. What categories or classifications, with the least absurdity possible, can be overlaid to create an intersection that *probably* includes nobody in the entire multiverse other than you, personally.
Hard to score this as a contest, but the peanut gallery will award points based on categories including intriguing, humorous, and insightful. Begin. Last edited by QuikSand : 06-15-2012 at 08:49 PM. |

Up until a couple years ago, when "Noah" became one of the hottest baby names out there, I could probably have gotten down to me with just a Venn of my first name and my last name.

"least absurdity possible"? I'm stumped.

Sorry, had to tend to family stuff. As always, the recursive process of rephrasing and clarifying will now proceed to vampire the fun out of the enterprise.
What I want to avoid is banal crap like "people with my social security number" or "people born at 11:18am on February 9th, 1977 in Memphis." What I want, as an example, might be more like "people with extra joints in their second toes" or "people who think George Lazenby was the best movie James Bond." |

Upon further reflection, I'm not certain I need a non-trivial distinction apart from the category "Men who lost their girlfriends to Neil Patrick Harris". However, we'll intersect that with the category "People who own full cricket kits".

'Twas less so at the time. Nevertheless, I highly recommend that when in high school and shopping for a nemesis, to pick one that is not currently starring in a sitcom for ABC.

So it it a bonus if each criterion is fairly broad while maintaining a very narrow intersection between them? I would think so.

"People who drove to Canada to capitalize on the lower drinking age" : "People who drank underage in Canada" comes to mind. Probably not quite unique enough, though.

Haha. My obsession with LBJ, Dazed and Confused, and the Friday Night Lights TV series led to an interest in the state. Combined with my love for good journalism, a subscription to Texas Monthly was the next step. It really was a terrific magazine back when Evan Smith was editing it--up with New York magazine as one of the best regional periodicals (and, really, one of the best magazines, period). |

So far I'm at: Helped create / launch a videogame genre + won a McDonald's regional QuarterPounder with Cheese cooking contest. Not sure yet if I need to narrow it down any farther.

Seems like people are going really specific here, I thought the point was to try and pick categories that are as broad as possible, but have few people that intersect.
