IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW YOU GET HERE, AS LONG AS...
WAIT. NO, SORRY, IT DOES MATTER!

Everyone who has a web log has experienced this: some stranger types a phrase into a search engine -- say "Britney Spears hot sex with hyenas" -- and because in the past you've used a few words in rough proximity to each other -- say 'Britney Spears' and 'hot sex with hyenas' -- that stranger lands on your site. Even though your blog entries were about, on one hand, Britney having a three-way with JT and Paris; and, on the other hand, your drunken evening in Wyoming.

Er... maybe I share too much.

Anyway, somehow I have typed a few crowd-pleasers into The Rob Log that bring me many, many visitors. "Photos of Timothy Treadwell" has been a big hit, as has "Howard Dean's height and weight." (Because you'd go to a stupidass blog for that information, right?) I have also received more than my fair share of hits for "Roy Horn" [Ed. "The Other White Meat!"]; tintinitis; and -- strangely -- "Billy Hufsey."

But someone has now found TRL by searching for Barbara Feldon tied up. And that's just wrong.
