Me Wrestling Human Milk
It’s Friday, previously a day celebrated with funny videos (see below) and now joining the videotronic hilarity is a new blog post category ‘Me’.
Like most people, who would if they could, I have set up Google Alerts to inform me of how my good name is being used and abused on the web. Vanity dictates that I must read what other Adam Martin’s are writing about and compare it to my own tech media musings.
For sometime I have been aware of my namesake who writes for Wrestling News Live - For The Fans, By The Fans. He partners with the fictional sounding Trey Dawg to write about well oiled men making rude gestures to one another. Trey and Adam are sometimes joined by Kurt Angle. It warms my heart that Adam does not feel he needs to change his name to something more wrestle friendly like Angry Adam. He does the name proud, though I do have issues with the fact that the site does not report live making it’s title something of a misnomer.
Next up is foodie Adam who writes for Menu Pages. He says things like:
‘If it weren’t for that pesky financial crash, this Chinese food safety thing would be really big news.’
and this classic:
‘So, um, remember that Swiss Chef we reported on, who was playing with the idea of using human milk in his restaurant dishes?’
Damn the melting financial markets! I will now never know what I clearly need to know about how to safely consume a spring roll and when will I get to drink human milk in a Swiss chalet?
I think we Adam Martin’s can be proud of our virtual literary heritage and if you’re listening Wrestle Adam or Human Milk Adam, please do leave a comment. If you’re not, well I’ll continue to monitor your work like some weird virtual stalker and share it with our 10,000 other readers.

Why hello. So you’re blessed with two first names (one of them the first first name) too, eh? Well thanks for looking out. I had a laugh at the post and the video.
One thing, though, if you want to do some stalking, you may find it easier at my own site, MenuPages San Francisco. The stuff I have on MP Chicago is shared content. San Francisco, meanwhile, is Adam Martin territory. And you’re welcome anytime.

‘Adam Martin Territory’ is a phrase I shall use a lot. Thanks for stopping by and making me feel less like a tech-stalker.
My parents nearly called my sister ‘Eve’, now that is wrong on just about every level.

After “googling” my name recently I came across this article and found it quite amusing! This would be the “Wrestle” Adam you are referring to. I’ll have to pass on how Trey comes off as rather “fictional” to a new listener base. Then again - we are quite different. We’ve been called the Hannity
