Stealing a concept from Ashish (who stole it from someone else), I present to you, over the last month, the top 10 ways readers have found me by searching the web. Not quite as interesting as his yet, but hey, give it time.
1: el wray
This one is easy to determine where it came from; El Wray being the awesome character played by Freddy Rodriquez in Grindhouse, which I gave a rather glowing review to.

2 god bless you mr. rosewater quotes
This one has been, since the beginning of the site, the most popular search terms to finding me, thanks to a little blurb about the passing of Kurt Vonnegut. It’s down in searches lately, but still going strong.

3 “anything wrong with this picture?”
Easy. The picture of ol’ G. Dubya, downing a brewski (albeit “non-alcoholic”) at the G8 summit, and my accompanying rant.
Probable Post: Pictures are Worth a Thousand Giggles (Or Snorts) (June 9, 2007)
4 “fox can tell” lyric
Oh, how some folks have been misdirected with this one…poor bastards. But then again, they get to learn about Fox, so it’s a positive for them.
Probable Post: Theme Fun Again (May 15, 2007)
5 “until the end” lyrics – “linkin park”
My Review of Minutes to Midnight is the only possible reason for this one. Check LyricWiki, guys.

6 cherry darling “useless talent”
Another Grindhouse one.

7 how to use expound
This one had to be from the title of my rant about rap lyrics, MySpace, and bad parents.
Probable Post: Wherein I expound about censorship and parenting, and find a soapbox upon which to stand (May 18, 2007)
8 racehorse ankle fluid build up
This actually is a mash-up, Linkin Park/Jay-Z style, from a trio of posts…my confusion over Barbaro getting more Candles then the Virgina Tech Massacre, the getting to know me post where I talking about my wife’s pseudo-tumor cerebri, and mentioning my ankle injury in context of how an act of kindness stunned me. I hope somewhere in there, they found what they were looking for…but probably not.
Probable Post(s): Huwuh? (Barbaro vs Virginia Tech) (May 6, 2007), Random Acts of Kindness and how they Blow the Mind (April 26, 2007), and Wherein I explain myself a bit and ponder the concept of President Chimpy…War Vet(???) (April 24, 2007)
9 RPG player type meme
Well, this one, at least, the searcher got what they were looking for.
Probable Post: What RPG Player Type Are You?
10 violent music and censorship
This would be the same one as #7, where I went off on how rap lyrics and censorship should not mix.
Probable Post: Wherein I expound about censorship and parenting, and find a soapbox upon which to stand (May 18, 2007)
This was actually kind of interesting. Might end up doing this every few months, to see what people are finding me with. And it’s a quick and easy way to keep this thing posted to. Yes, I cheat.
