Game: Uniquely identify yourself with a minimum word count

[SecondCor521]

Sometimes I come up with games I find interesting.

This one goes like this:

There are roughly 7 billion people alive on this planet. Uniquely(*) identify yourself with the fewest number of words without using obvious identifiers like your name or social security number. Alternate form is to come up with a famous person who can be described in the fewest number of words.

I'll go first: Princeton dropout, Idahoan, bagpiper. 4 words.

Alternate form: Michael Phelps, 23 Olympic golds. 3 words. Mohandas Ghandi, the Mahatma. 2 words.

(*) Obviously one can't know for sure if a description is unique. Use your best guess; it's just a game.

 

[CaliforniaMan]

Man who posted this.

imoldernu

Einstein

 

[ls99]

Omniscient

 

[Lcountz]

Always Paid ME First.

 

[Huston55]

Peripatetic.

 

[Huston55]

Omniscient

So, we'll wait for you to post everyone else's unique identifiers.

I think folks are shooting for brevity over truly unique. Lcountz sounds like someone I knew in Alaska and nemo2 sounds like one of my uncles.

Here's my best effort- thesis: designed first American ultra-high performance concrete road bridge. 10 words.

Or- Iowan chess contender, West Point 2000 graduate. 7 words. Or is it 8, since 2000 is spelled 'two thousand'?

Alternate- Neil Armstrong: first Moon walker. 3 words. Yuri Gagarin: first spaceman. 2 words.

 

[Gumby]

Navy 81 Yale Law 92 - three words and two numbers, but only one of me.

 

[Huston55]

I think folks are shooting for brevity over truly unique.

What I find interesting is the choice by some to post descriptions of 'what they are', while others choose to post 'what they've done.'

But, but...we're told "You Are What You Eat".

 

[ls99]

Peripatetic.

You have come a long ways from the Lyceum.

 

[braumeister]

But, but...we're told "You Are What You Eat".

Well, in that case, "BBQ & Beer"

 

[cooch96]

What I find interesting is the choice by some to post descriptions of 'what they are', while others choose to post 'what they've done.'

But none of the "are" posts are unique, except possibly our omniscient poster.

 

[Nemo2]

But none of the "are" posts are unique

We are, each of us, uniformly ununique.

I was the only person at this latitude and longitude at this time on this date. Not really 4 words but close

 

[2017ish]

"xx law valedictorian 1985." Or, likely, "800 xx Law."

 

[ERD50]

Unique, like everyone - 3 words

Better include altitude, there might be a plane flying above that spot at that time.

Good use of your surveyor skills though - impressive!

Good point! Definitely Fly over country. I was at elevation 3680' MSL. Coming back from Az - detoured through the tri-state corner - Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma

Alternate- Neil Armstrong: first Moon walker. 3 words. Yuri Gagarin: first spaceman. 2 words.

First moon walker, Michael Jackson?
First spaceman: first man in space, or first spaceman?

My shortest probably would be: Founder, <company name>

 

[CaptTom]

One of the hallmarks of true fame is to be known by just one name (e.g.; Beyoncé or Hitler.)

I hope never to achieve that.
