Some three hundred people a day look at some portion of my website. Weird.

In other news, the weekend's red-wine fueled DDR marathon sessions, despite demonstrating quite clearly why I should not drink and attempt anything requiring coordination, produced a mental and podiatric epiphany. I now understand eighth notes and diagonal jumps in DDR and can clear most of the five-foot songs on Standard level on the first or second attempt. I am a Standard player. I have mostly surpassed "Beginner" and "Light". I no longer sux0r quite so much as before. YAY.

300 people or just that one dude over and over and over?

The site tracker informs me that the referrals are coming mostly from google, that visitors come from multiple countries (including Singapore!) and the browsers being used include IE, firefox, and safari. If it's just one guy, he's working really hard at seeming to be multitudes. Also, he probably should stop reading the thing about Harry Potter Porn, which continues to be the most-looked-at-page.

Isn't it cool?

Last time I was up there, electroweak mentioned he'd checked our hit counter numbers vs. comic book sales and MoS, if it were a comic book (and if this statistical comparison had any validity whatsoever) would be comfortably nestled right in the middle of the Top 100 selling comics. TAKE THAT, THE INDUSTRY!

Take that, EVERY industry. Petrochemicals? I'm lookin' at you. Aerospace? Sit down, losers! Agribusiness? Pfah!

Dryed Frorg Pills

I'm not crazy. I'll show you. I'LL SHOW YOU ALL.

Five minutes of gut-rolling laughter. The husband and cat came to see what was going on and still didn't get it after I explained. BWAHAHAHA!

Which one eventually figured it out first, the cat or the husband? :)

I give, I give. What did I miss?

In Pratchett's Discworld books, at the Unseen University in Ankh Morpork, dried frog pills are what the other wizards feed to the bursar so that he stays, well, not exactly sane, but suitably insane. If the bursar starts acting weirder than usual, they get out the dried frog pills. Now, as it happens, some rocket scientists over at the High Energy Magic building, among them Ponder Stibbons, are building a computer. It's called Hex and it has an Anthill Inside. Hex, when faced with something it cannot answer, says stuff like +++Out of Cheese Error+++ or +++Redo From Start+++. The UU archchancellor, Mudstrum Ridcully, being a simple (not stupid, just uncomplicated) man, figured that if dried frog pills worked on the bursar when he stopped making sense, they'd also work on Hex when it went all +++Out of Cheese Error+++ and so he typed in dried frog pills and then lots of dried frog pills but he couldn't spell particularly well. Interestingly, this seemed to work. This was in Hogfather, iirc (and when it comes to Pratchett, I usually do).

So, anyway. Dryed Frorg Pills, however you spell them, are for those who need a gentle chemical nudge in the direction of sanity, and they even work if you simply type them at the person who needs the nudge. I read it in a book, so it has to be true.

Ask me about the four elephants and the Great A'Tuin!*

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! OK.

Though I very much approve of the man my Pratchett coverage is spotty at best. The last one of his I read was Going Postal, which was a terribly nice distraction during recovery from surgery. From what I've read, I think he really does better when he's wheeling out new characters and situations; my favorites have been books like Postal and Small Gods which have their own centers.

Bwa ha!

Good heavens! That's incredible.

So I was thinking about that Aol-RTF-guy who "loves" you--do you suppose he found the pages on translating the Japanese bondage porn?--because if he *did* and he's still in love with you.... :)
