Me, the Soup Nazi, and iPhoto Faces

I've had my iMac for probably 3 years now, and I have to say I'm still not really a "Mac Person" like so many are.  I love how reliable it is, but a lot of things annoy me about it-- why can't I make a window larger by dragging the top left corner? , for example. 

And so my screen saver is whatever I selected the first time I setup my Mac.  It scans all the photos on my computer and displays them as a slideshow, and it's always fun to watch it, but occasionally I see a photo I would like find and email or post on Facebook.  I don't have a good way to find a photo like that. 

One way I do that, though, is to use the iPhoto "Faces" feature, which lets you tag photos (like you do on Facebook), and then it goes out and tries to find photos of that same person.    Here's what it looks like on the Faces home page:

 

You may notice that Ronald Reagan is my photo album, and so is Elvis, The Soup Nazi, and a few others you would recognize.  The Soup Nazi's face was  identified in the photo above of me wandering the streets of New York looking for Seinfeld trivia.

 

Once I tagged his face as "Soup Nazi", iPhoto wants to find other pictures of him and that's where the fun begins.  Here's the result, and it makes me laugh every time:
