It would seem that, while Allen is the source material for a Fake Allen Pike, I have somehow inspired the Real Curtis Lassam to appear.
I’d accuse him of being the fake, but his site is… well, better at being me than I am. So I suspect that I am likely the fake.
If you have the gun pointed at the both of us in a dark alley, I’m the one with the goatee and moustache.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32. It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Fake Curtis Lassam is already taken. If you want to be Fake Curtis Lassam you need to beat me in a spaghetti-off.
But then who am I supposed to be? Fake Allen Pike and Fake Fake Allen Pike are taken. Maybe I could be the Fake Fake Fake Allen Pike.
Nope, that’s taken, too. (What the hell.)
I wonder if there’s a Fake Dan Leslie out there. I could be that.
Also: I’m not going to be Fake Fake Curtis Lassam. That would be DEMEANING.
I’m the one with the tophat and monacle.
