My favorite search term this month — though I suspect it won’t please Matt Welch — “emmanuelle world of desire.”

And what the hell was this person looking for: “adultery or aaron or sumo or totalitarians or inkblots”?

BTW: If I get 700 visitors per day, why don’t I get more comments? It couldn’t possibly be because of my habit of insulting them, could it?

BTW II: If you’re linking to or bookmarking hbo3.com or globalnewswatch.com, I wish you would change to howardowens.com. Especially if you’re linking (check your blog roll). This would help me out a lot with all of those services that judge popularity by how many people link to you.
