I Got Nuthin’

I spent most of the day helping a relative try to fix a hijacked browser. Gads.
Virus writers, spammers, crackers: hangin’s too good for ’em. But it’ll have to do.
So I’ve posted nothing whatsoever until now, and I’m still getting traffic at levels comparable to my busier days (which, compared to the big dogs of the blogosphere, ain’t that busy.) (Or even compared to the middle-sized dogs.)
I’m getting traffic today from search engines. Everyone does, but sometimes people search for things that can cause a traffic spike. Here are the last 20 search engine queries that have brought people to this site:
   “jonah’s military”
   Eugen Armstrong beheading
   beheading of eugen armstrong
   eugen armstrong beheading in iraq
   eugen armstrong beheading
   eugene armstrong beheading
   watch the beheading of eugen armstrong
   spirit of the bayonet
   saddam trial
   emersons lumber
   Eugen Armstrong beheading
   “miserable failure”
   john kerry sailboarding
   iraqi tv
   rico statutes
   “Katherine J. Lopez”
   eugen armstrong beheading
   ACTUAL BAD BABY NAMES
   beheading of Eugene Armstrong
   california bmg cartridge
See a trend here? (Apart from the fact that a lot of people can’t spell “Eugene”?) The odd thing is that I haven’t written squat about recent terrorist murders of civilians in Iraq.
So if you’re one of the snuff junkies looking for video of a real murder: get bent, you perverts.
In other Google-related news, after more than a year at the top, I’ve dropped to #2 in the search for “Thomas Friedman idiot“.
Update, 9/24: Back to #1.

Carnival of the Cats

Not having a cat of my own, I wouldn’t have expected to ever participate in the weekly Carnival of the Cats. Thanks for the link, Gir.
[I have to admit, though: this pic of my sister’s kitten (one of a pair of little furballs) is just about the cutest darn thing I’ve ever seen.]
