Best Web Junk (August 29)

Everybody I know has sent me a link to this story this week.  So I need to share it with you This link is here to keep [regular commenter] Caroline out of jail.

Looks like the flood is coming, what do we save.  You gotta have priorities - via digg

totally amazing - I can't remember where I saw these

This is horrible news for me, since I'm an SEC fan living in NC, The Raycom games are all available streaming on yahoo.com, now that ESPN has bought all those games the regional ones will be unavailable to me, meaning that I will miss about 6 UK basketball games a year

This video is both good and impressive.  It appears that they just did this on the spur of the moment.  it's really good.  I heard it on the Delta Park Project.

This paragraph is from Dave Barry's article today and is pretty much the best summation I have heard of the DNC anywhere:

That message, in a nutshell, is that Barack Obama represents hope and change and an attractive but nonthreatening wife and experience in the form of Joe Biden; whereas John McCain -- although he is a great patriot for whom the Democrats have the deepest personal respect -- is the warmongering environment-wrecking house-forgetting evil demon spawn of Satan.

This, from The Onion, is really hilarious, but if you visit the site, the headline is dirty

It seems to be over

This will be my last post on What does the baby use. I just wanted to share my stat graph now that it seems to be mostly over.

I really can't understand its popularity.  But this was a fairly amazing trend for me.

To all the babies reading - Enjoy your 25

Thank You Tom Merritt

Thanks to @acedtect (Tom Merritt from my favorite podcast) Finally some answers to what the baby is using? The truth about 25

Snoopy's Novel - via woot First Molly Wood twitters this then the next morning I read this from Bart Barber - wow they are right, the Olympics involve a lot of skin.

Stats

Lately, for like the last month, my stats have gone down.  I have been only getting about 80% of the viewers I used to get.  So imagine my surprise when yesterday was my best day since June.  Well I looked at my searches and could see what was bringing all the people here so I made a post to address it.  it turned out to be my all time best day on this blog statistically speaking, beating my previous high day by 50%.  And it's only 9am EDT (-5 zulu) and already I'm on track to blow yesterday away.  This is 3 times more readers than I get on an average "good" day. I am truly astonished by this phenomenon, look at my stat graph.

Also, thanks to wordpress.com for hosting me.  I'd be freaking out if I was having to pay for this bandwidth.  Even though it's probably not that much, relatively speaking, I'd be freaking out.

What's the Baby Using?

This is my best day in a very long time statistically speaking.  All because of my twitter feed. Since nobody has answered yet, I'll tell you the answer.

What's the baby using?

the answer, of course, is 25.

I first saw this here, but the original is found here.

I decided to make a shirt</update>

And here is the video for those of you who are totally lost.

What You People Are Looking For (July edition)

This is 4 days early, but the 1st is Friday and I don't want it to conflict with best web junk for the week, so I decided to go ahead & post it. Here are the searches for July.  I now have 81 posts with 255 tags, so this list keeps getting broader.  This is not all of the searches, most are pretty normal and the stuff you would expect.  I do, however, think you will notice a trend in this list.  Remember I don't edit this list at all, I just cut & paste the ones I think are interesting.  The spelling and craziness goes to the searcher.

• peach tree loaded
• prop up peach tree branches
• "peach tree branches props"
• leaning peach tree
• protected woodpeckers
• watch sonic husband and wife commercials
• did people ever eat mountain lion
• google earth "coolest thing"
• john mclamb, language school, costa rica (I really hope they found his blog from mine, they searched twice)
• jeremy dockery and brother
• prop up leaning tree
• we harm trees
• i dont have a drinking problem i drink,
• how to get rid of peach tree boars
• commercial jeremey holiday inn express c
• how to prop branches on a peach tree
• geekiest thing ever
• propping up heavy peachtree
• what does sbc president do? (I guess one post was about this)
• best web junk
• how to prop up a peach tree branch

Later this week a post called Peach Tree Redux to address what clearly is a major problem.

Best Web Junk (July 25)

Interesting (running the numbers) - via flowerdust.net Misspelled, or bad grammar tattoos - via Dave Barry.  This is sad & funny also it has a lot of cussing, but it's still very entertaining.  (Please don't juge me too harshly for putting up a link with a lot of swearing)

Check it out.   This is the Nirvana baby - From myextralife

This vid is cool.  A mini vs. a go-cart on a go-cart track.  The race starts about half way through.

I just realized that this week all my links contain something that you could find offensive if you are easily offended.  Sorry about that.  It's not my usual style, I'll try to clean it up for next week.  To make up for it, here's a link to a lolcat.  It's disgustingly cute and there's nothing vaguely offensive about it.  Here's another.

And finally here's a little game.  Read yesterday's post and see where I've been in the past 8 days.  Guess my mileage in the comments for the 14th -22nd of July.  The person who is closest wins the prestigious title of Geography Czar of my blog.

I can't decide if this looks delicious or disgusting I never expected photoshop disasters to be informing me on the news

I know it's childish and scatological, but puzzle farter made me laugh out loud

Don't be too dissappointed.  But you cannot change your name to a vulgarity.  Even if your current legal name is "Variable" However you should be able to change your name to "Variable" if you current legal name is "D'les Elexia Star Spiderbite"

These are wierd and really neat - via Digg

My favorite fail of the week

Here's a really good breakdown of NCAA basketball uber-freshmen from last year

I really like Jackie Chan movies, even the poorly dubbed ones, mostly because of the stunts.  But after watching this I wonder if it was worth it.

An Interesting List

I have decided to add a monthly feature sharing the odd searches that brought people to my blog.  These are things that I just think are funny or, not really what my site is about.  I am just simply cutting and pasting the items into this list.  And I'm only only sharing the ones I find bizarre or particularly interesting.

Without further ado.  Here is the list for June.

• Goose hunting
• peach tree props
• most hypocritical ever
• beaver dam kentucky city council
• beavers mate for life
• prince of persia film
• will tree to lean towards light

I need to come up with a clever name for this feature for the future.  You can put your ideas in the comments.  I'm thinking about calling it " What are you people looking for?"  (Sort of inspired by Cute with Chris' "What you Sick People Come Here For.")

BTW:  I can only imagine what this list would look like on webhick's blog, it's so bizzare to begin with.

Best Web Junk (June 27)

First, something serious.  You really should read this, and think about your church's business meetings - from Bart Barber A bunch of really cool photos from Mars

If you're going to the olympics you can't order "Bean curd made by a pock-marked woman"...sad.

I used to watch WPSD news every day, but I never saw a chicken in the forecast - from Dave Barry

What happens when I link to a popular blog

Actually these are trackbacks, plus they were very popular topics.

The first is Bart Barber and the topic of the [then upcoming] Southern Baptist presidential election

The other is Jarrod Morris (on the same day he was linked by flowerdust.net) and the topic of christians and drinking.  Something everyone has an opinion about.

And the places where it bottoms out are Sundays.  Apparently no one reads blogs on Sundays.

Happy Firefox Day

Firefox 3 releases today and the mozilla folks hope to set a new record for downloads in one day. It's supposed to be awesome and you know you've always wanted to see the internet without IE (although IE only accounts for 42% of the visitors to my church website.) So what are you waiting for...go get firefox now

Be ready for a slow download. Setting a record takes a lot of bandwidth.  Also, sooner or later all your extensions will be updated, they will work again.  Don't worry.
