What about my needs?
I first saw this on bleeding espresso, and then on texas espresso and from head to boot. I thought it was funny, and well, everyone is doing it! It's a Google search of your name together with the word "needs." The search results can be rather entertaining.
I tried it first as KC, but the results were repetitive and mostly had to do with sports teams and light rail. Apparently Kansas City has many needs. I've been there a couple of times, and thought it was a lovely city, so I was surprised to hear of so much discontent. Next I tried Karen, but it seems that many bloggers who share my name are much quicker on the draw than I am, and the first page of results was for pages written by Karens who had already done this. So I chose a number at random, and jumped ahead to that page. This is what I found. Prepare yourselves, it gets disturbing at the end. My comments are in italics.
1. Karen Needs to Grow Up! Like I haven't heard that before!
2. Karen needs to find a cave to live in. Well, whoever wrote that obviously doesn't read my blog. I already have a cave and I wrote about it here.
3. Karen needs to talk to the marktoids, or needs to make sure that a consistent message is put out. Okay, I'll get on that. Right.
4. Karen needs approximately two to three weeks to complete orders. Well, we all work at our own pace!
5. Karen needs to feel that the world is a safe place, and that people can be trusted. Is that so wrong?
6. Karen needs a sweatshirt or she'll get cold. I haven't worn sweatshirts since I was in college. And anyway, I'm not afraid of colpo di freddo.
7. Karen needs the diskette for announcement. Diskette? I don't think I'd have much success trying to insert one of those into my MacBookPro.
8. Karen needs to get out more. This is true, but unless my province puts in some light rail (one of KC's needs, see above,) there won't be many places I can get to.
9. Karen needs to invest in a thesaurus and learn a new work for "gazillion." Whoever wrote that needs to invest in a proofreader.
10. Karen needs to be re-trained, transferred, or outright fired--whatever it takes--to put a halt to her systematic killing of animals. How did they discover my secret?

I'm sorry, but I don't think that re-training will be nearly enough to stop your systematic killing of animals. I'm just sayin'.
Yes, it's true, I'm incorrigible.
...and trasferring her somewhere else won't help either! She'll just do it there too. :p
In the words of good 'ole Donald Trump... "YOU'RE FIRED!"
Well, fire me if you like. But what's to stop me from finding another job that will put me in proximity to animals? Bwa ha ha!
Your list is so fun! Giggles all the way 'round. Very clever answers, I particularly enjoyed the note about #9's author needing a proofreader, as I read it twice before I got to your comment and thought 'huh'? Good list, wonderful answers; enjoyed it very much.

Sharon Needs to Be Told to Stop Shooting and Start Talking
I couldn-t get past this one.....
Wanderlust scarlett, thanks for stopping by! It was hard to keep the list to ten, because there were some other really silly ones.
Sharon, I love it!
nice! I tried it, and the first result was for someone else's blog who had done it already with my (and apparently her) name!

My favorite one for myself was:
Tina needs to be seen for you to understand exactly what she had to go through to get where she is today; one hell of a rock diva.
(I'm so lucky I share a name with Tina Turner!)
