    Default Impostor GPWAs

    This is my 2,000th post since joining GPWA and I thought it would be fun to mark the occassion by pointing out some of the other organizations that have popped up in my "GPWA" google alert over the past year. I have to say the wrestling group is my favorite impostor GPWA thus far. Fortunately for my sanity, the real GPWA is the topic of 90% of the alerts.


    Here are some of the impostors:
    Green Piece Wire Art

    Global Professional Wrestling Alliance
    Check out this GPWA wrestling match on YouTube. The next time discussion gets a bit out of hand I'm going to crack up thinking about wrestlers battling in a ring marked GPWA.

    German Professional Women's Association

    GPW & Associates (with the group run by people named Gordon, Petrowski, Wanner)

    Greater Phoenix Wargames Association

    Georgia Prison Wardens Association

    Green Piece Wire Art - Some of those animals are kinda scary..wonder if they can make a pink flamingo...

    Global Professional Wrestling Alliance - they choreographed their acts very well..

    German Professional Women's Association - they're all blondes

    Greater Phoenix Wargames Association - only if I could use real bullets..

    Georgia Prison Wardens Association - now this one I could join...I lived in GA, and I worked p/t for a halfway house in college...unfor the url redirects to a local newspaper...

    Funny commentary on the other groups! In terms of the URL, the links I posted were based on the google alerts received, with the exception of gpwa.com where the alert was for an internal page on that site. I did a quick follow-up a moment ago to find the Prison Warden group's website, but the top results in google simply mention the association in passing rather than providing detail about it.

    We do not current have a membership reciprocation agreement in place with the Greater Phoenix Wargames Association. However, I received another google alert about them planning their first meeting. It is a board game club based around strategy games, and their first meeting is tomorrow to hang around a pizza shop and play some Axis and Allies. This is my kind of crowd.

    You just want somewhere else to spread Carlo love (ie to be the biggest poster)...
