Are they still trying to find the strategic missile site inside the Matterhorn?

well, I do have to admit, I use the google toolbar to go to some websites, because I do a search for them originally, and then just keep using it in my search history rather than typing it out in the address bar. lol

Texan whores and bestiality. Yup, that's what I always wanted to be remembered for. Do we know who it was that searched those to get here? More importantly, did they stay around? Not sure I want them figuring out who I am when they get here.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

ROFLMAO

I am totally addicted to checking up on the site stats logged for some of my creative writing related webpages. It's funny that you can tell not only who is coming and going but who only stopped in to steal your graphics and pictures.

The searches crack me up though-I once used the phrase "emotionally unavailable men" in a story I wrote and now everytime I have new hits on that way old site archive, that is usually the phrase that people have Googled.

My sympathies go out to them.

Other funny phrases that have somehow landed people at my webpages included searches on doomsday cults (that one freaked me out- turned out it had something to do with the name we used for a fictional ship) and ones that isolated a single sentence containing words like "short skirt" which someone used to describe their character's halloween costume.

Fun, fun fun. I could spend hours just going through site stats LOL Thanks for sharing those Polar what a riot.

Once I did searches on my usernames on al the sites I'm a member of, and the one I use here is the same as one for someone in the U.K. who has a blog on pet issues--though mine is one word, their's is two words. Interesting, since I have a blog on pet issues myself, on increasing the availability of pet-friendly rental housing (as well as animal welfare issues).
