Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Pro-tip: If you want to find out if someone mentioned you, or quoted a post of yours in a thread, search for your User Name and click "show posts".
However, sometimes you'll get back posts that aren't actually about you, but are close enough to trigger the search engine---"birdie", "da", and "watch" on their own don't return my User Name, but it seems if two or more of them are close enough they will.
Today I hit the search "jackpot", so to speak, when I found this Walking Dead post by Arjayes pop up in my search results:
Edited it for Walking Dead spoilers, but here's what triggered the results...
All three parts of my name in order. I thought it was amusing.
I imagine some User Names have this happen far more often, but it always surprises me for a second when the search returns a thread I've never post in and I wonder for a brief second if I dropped by once and posted something that just now was being quoted or brought up.
