The Sound of the Crowd

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

We now have some statistics for this blog, including a list of the top 10 search phrases that have brought Yahoo!-ers and the like here. They include:

george carlin shellshock. Which is true, I did mention a memorable routine of his here about the way we use language to cushion ourselves from reality. I must not be the only one to have thought of it lately, for some reason.

summit ridge drive. Hey, if it means any more people read my obit for Artie Shaw, I’ll take it. I’m reasonably proud of that.

ben varkentine. Okay, be honest, this was probably me that searched under that. I don;t know why anybody else would.

ashlee simpson orange bowl footage. True, I did link that.

brett ekland. Mentioned her once in connection with the Peter Sellers movie.

rebecca romijn or rebecca romijn stamos. There is, as I recall, a link to a pretty nice picture of her in that post I did about the Maxim top-100 women list.

jane wiedlin nude. There are no pictures of, or links to pictures of, Jane Wiedlin nude on this blog. There is a query about whether or not she really needed to do The Surreal Life, and a link to a fetching but fully clothed photo.

Somehow I feel I’ve let people down.
