Looking For Quacks In The Pavement

Category: Geekery

  • PPF means so many things…

    Looked through the referrers just now. I’d like to point out that it’s not Friday yet, you wonderful meme-junkies. But that’s okay, I appreciate visitors from far and near, no matter when or why they come.

    What really impressed me is that someone found this place by searching for “ppf.” Turns out that Past, Present, Future is only 2nd on Google for that search. That’s right, folks, the Pakistan Press Foundation is out in front. At least I beat the Professional Pilots Federation though. Yeah, something to be proud of. Take that, People & Planet Friendly!

  • Okay, you sick bastards.

    I’d like to suggest that the deluded sicko who came here via a search for “sakura humping her staff” should just turn himself over to the authorities right now.

    I have nothing at all to say to whoever found Mari’s thingie via the phrase “peter pan slash fiction.” Instead I’ll just back away slowly, ever so slowly. She’s getting good traffic off of “mutual masturbation” as well, I feel obliged to point out.

    For those keeping score, “ryoko naked” is currently way ahead of “aeka naked” by a roughly five-to-one ratio in search hits to this website. In a similar vein, if you’ll pardon the potential pun, “family orgy” is on top of “grandma orgy” in search hits to Mari’s thingie by about four to one.

    All of this is in lieu of a real journal entry. I figured too much time had passed since my last search-query round up. Aren’t you lucky I have such a strong sense of responsibility to keep the spirit of Google bashing/baiting alive around here?

  • Age of Mythology rocks!

    When Wendi came to pick me up from work yesterday, she had Hannah as well as Nzhone with her. Sure enough, a while after we got home Hannah’s parents Amy and Michael came by. We talked and talked for a while, and the discussion of games led us to the idea of trying for some multiplayer Age Of Mythology.

    A bit of backstory might be in order. You see, I have loved each iteration of the Age Of Empires game series. Each is better than the one before, and the Age II expansion is one of my favorite games of all time.

    So here comes Michael offering me a chance to dive headfirst into the latest Age game. Woo hoo!

    Long story short, we got it installed and networked, and the four of us (Amy Michael Wendi Myself) played a game through. I came through with a Wonder win, though technically Wendi finished her Wonder first (but had it knocked down, whoopsie!).

    Yes… I have a new toy… mwahahaha!

    (Gaming addict? Moi? Say it ain’t so.)

  • Phrase Of The Week

    “Wookie Nookie.”

    That will be all. Thank you.

  • A button fit for a duck.

    So I’m eyeballing one of my favorite regular reads, and notice two things.

    One, that my link is gone from the link sidebar. Two, this:

    “Oh,” I say to myself. “That explains the missing text link.”

    Useful bit of Photoshopping, that. Feel free to use it, if you’re into the graphical linky thing. I’d appreciate if you copied the image to your own server, though. Thanks.

  • A few site updates and other tidbits

    A few quickies for the day, in lieu of actual content. (One could argue that all of my entries are “in lieu of actual content,” I suppose.)

    Off to the left, down where the other buttons live, is my GeoURL link. Yes, you can find me (or people near me) by physical location. Isn’t technology grand? Just more proof that I’m probably not as paranoid as I ought to be, or something.

    Off to the right, below the daily email address link, are my instant messaging system nicknames. The AOL Instant Messenger one is also a link to send me a quick message. As AIM’s the system I’m almost always on, I figure that’s the only one I’ll bother putting a link for.

    In other news, Intellectual Orgy can be traded on BlogShares. I leave the value of this fact as an intellectual exercise for the reader, given that I’m not really that vigorous about “playing” the BlogShares game.

    Uncle Pete will be sending me a copy of his write-up of the story of Uncle George’s passing at some point in the (relatively) near future. Shortly afterward it will become a permanent part of this website. If you’re so inclined, please think positive thoughts in the direction of southern Texas. Pete can use all the love and joy he can get right about now.

    That’s all for tonight, folks. Maybe I’ll do some photography for next time. What do you think?
