I'm number 238, that's surprising, as i've never ever met anyone with my last n ame. although I am in Australia, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Now here's the thing though. Shea and I were board yesterday afternoon and so attempted to guess all of the top 10 names but we were completely unable to come up with number 7. Was anybody else sad enough to try this and if so what was number7? lol.

We've subsequently forgotten number 6 as well although we did get it yesterday.

I tried this and my last name wasn't even in their directory. I feel so misplaced now, since have no idea what my ranking is.

Okay all, Shea and I now officially reign supreme in the sad fucker stakes! lol

1. Smith.
2. Johnson.
3. Williams.
4. Jones.
5. Brown. (That's a me by the way)
6. Davis.
7. Miller.
8. Wilson.
9. Anderson.
10. Jackson.

I can't believe that Miller gave us that much trouble. Mind you, thinking of a certain user on here with that sir-name perhaps I shouldn't have been so surprised! You know who you are!

Thanks. Dan.

Mine is on the list, and so far my number is lower than anyone else's who has posted on this topic, but no way in hell am I telling you people my last name.
