People search for us... or do they..
We're all curious creatures, and we want to know how exactly people find us, other than through links from other pages, of course. How do we find this out, you ask? Well, since we have our own web server, through the server logs, of course!
We took a 2 day sampling (December 4th and 5th 2000 to be exact) of our referer log and here's what we found:
By far the most popular search is for "Spinning Jenny", I bet you never knew your band was this popular Bean :)
Search for "rush" related stuff comes second followed closely by "gaping assholes" (thanks Burt!)
Everything else seems to be pretty evenly distributed.
If you're curious to see the results for yourself, here's the breakdown ordered alphabetically by the search string:

Now those of you who bothered to look at a similar web page autored by our very own bonehead burt may have read his list of popular search terms such as assholes and bitches. While his list seems quite exhaustive, I've managed to find even more queries on the theme of assholes and bitches going through our pslashg logs:

  • girls with hairy assholes
  • pics of gaping assholes
  • closeups of assholes
  • HAIRY assholes - Not just hairy assholes, mind you, but HAIRY assholes
  • asshole pictures
  • bitches eating assholes - This goes with burt's theme of bitches AND assholes combined
  • photos gaping assholes - From the more cultured gaping assholes searcher

While these search themes seem to be rather varied, I have found that the most varied theme of them all is "drunk". The scary part of this one is that most of these hits were for our Albany gathering:

  • drunk
  • drunk girls
  • drunk babes
  • drunk boys
  • drunk people
  • drunk sleep pictures
  • drunk start
  • drunk women
  • drunk santa
  • drunk pictures
  • drunk driving
  • drunk drivers
  • funny drunk
  • britney drunk
  • sex drunk
  • drunk party
  • drunk cartton (sic)
  • drunk teen
  • happy drunk
  • drunk girl nake (sic)
  • drunk ladies
  • christmas drunk
  • drunk and sleeping pictures
  • drunk naked girls
  • peing drunk women
  • drunk trumpet
  • drunk first
  • happy drunk pictures
  • drunk bikini
  • picture of a drunk person
  • drunk schoolgirls
  • disco drunk
  • drunk man cartoon
  • drunk fighting
  • drunk students
  • drunk and taken advantage of
  • drunk pasedout (sic)
  • drunk guy
  • her drunk - I wonder if the search engine censored this one
In conclusion, I'm just happy we get some hits from people looking for Rush, and to the "gaping assholes" guy.. give up already!
