Sitemeter Sightings

For some reason, this here entry on this here blog has been getting a huge number of hits: The Left and Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Reason #1,259 Why We Don't Need the CBC

Can't say for sure, but I betcha it has something to do with the Jian Ghomeshi scandal. Please, Harper. Put us out of our misery and privatize the wretched thing.

Sitemeter Sighting...

....I haven't done one of these for a while, but this one is a doozy. On Sitemeter, someone from the US landed on my blog after using the search term "uncut redneck men".

Ooooookay.

And Speaking of Sitemeter Sightings...

...someone from Australia did a search using the terms "right wing people so stupid" and landed on my blog. Harumph!!!! I'm insulted! Too bad I'm not a member of one of the "favoured" groups, else I'd be going to the closest Human Rights Commission.

Which reminds me, the amendments to the Canadian Human Rights Act are moving right along. The Senate has them now. Then there's one or two more steps and freedom of expression will have been restored!!

I'm watching Brian Storseth's website for progress reports and updates.

Snarkaholics Anonymous

Did you know there's a self-help group, or at least there should be, called "snarkaholics anonymous"? Sitemeter shows that someone did a search using those terms and landed on my blog. LOL!!

Sitemeter Sightings That...

...just make you scratch your head.

This morning someone was searching for: "rednect usage in sentence for serum"

No. I don't get it either. But the searcher did land on some Stubble Jumping Redneck entries from the last week in January, earlier this year. Strange things happen.

Sometimes....

...Sitemeter provides such tantalizing little morsels for me to chew on.

Just a bit earlier today, someone from the UK was searching for "Katepwa History Book" and landed on this page.  Katepwa is the name of the district where I grew up. There's a Katepwa Lake about a mile east of the homestead where our house stood. The one-room country school where I got my "readin', writin' and 'rithmatic" skills (such as they are) was called Katepwa. It still stands today, although it long ago ceased to be a school. Various people have owned the building and lived in it over the years, but I believe there is still a sign on the side of the building that says "Built in 1919. Year of the Great Peace", or something like that.  The word "Katepwa" is said to be Cree for "Who Calls?", and is rooted in a legend about the Qu'Appelle (French for "who calls") Valley and River made famous by the poet Pauline Johnson.

Now, who in hell's bells in the UK would be looking for a Katepwa history book?  I have distant relatives in the UK. Could it have been one of them? If so, a shout out to ya, cuz.

I Most Strongly Object!!

Someone in Peoria, Arizona did a search for "sunburnt toothless redneck" and found my blog! Harumph!!

Curious Sitemeter Sightings.

I love it when someone from the other side of the world lands on my blog. Yesterday, at around 6:00 PM, someone from the Philippines spent about six minutes on my blog.

I have no idea how he or she landed there (search terms don't always show up), but this is the page on which the Filipino landed. I just think it's interesting when people from half a world away find and spend some time viewing my obscure little blog. And tres cool, too.

The really surprising one came from the UK. Someone had typed the words "katepwa yesterday and today" and landed on this page: Little Snippits from a Local History Book, wherein I speak about my family's history on the farm at the east end of Katepwa Lake, as detailed in a local history book called Katepwa, Yesterday and Today. I gotta wonder, was this person some long-lost distant cousin of mine or perhaps a relative of one of the many families whose history is in that book? Sure would like to know.

To make matters even curiouser, someone from California landed on the same entry just a few minutes later. Was the Brit communicating with the Yank. I think I know who the Yank was, and he does have ancestral connections to Canada.

Some other observations:

• Some people actually search for my blog using "Stubble Jumping Redneck" as search terms!!!
• I get a lot of hits via Snoopy the Goon. Thanks, Snoopy. Wish there was some why I could reciprocate, but you seem to be doing okay without my miserable, insufficient traffic being routed your way. 
• I have at least one fan in France. A visitor from France, not the usual one, was on this page: On Irshad Manji's Raisins or Virgins Meme
• Someone from PEI also thinks Pat Martin has/is a big mouth.
• T'is with pleasure that I welcomed a reader of the Mangy Mutt's blog to this entry.  (In case you're wondering, the link to my blog is attached to the word "bubble".  I'm a little bit disappointed that it wasn't "burp" or "growl" or "grunt".  But, if you want to see a lot of burping, growling and grunting, the Mangy Mutt's is the place to go.)

Anyway, I'm off to visit BCF. Seems a lot of my hits over the past several hours came via the fiery kitty cat's nest.

Sometimes Sitemeter Just Makes Me Laugh

This time, it was the search terms "bare ass redneck". And sure enough, I had something to offer:  "His Bare Ass Was Hanging Out"

CBC Visits Again

According to Sitemeter, someone from CBC, in Toronto, visited my blog again, this time landing on this entry. I wonder if they have some software that alerts them whenever some blogger is writing about them. Oh, how I wish we could know what goes on in the organization that we fund.

He, he, he, he, he

Checking sitemeter this morning, I see someone from the UK landed on my blog using the search terms "rednecks commit honor killings". Good luck with that research, pal. It's gonna be a long, hard search.

Oh, How Interesting!

This morning at 8:05:09 AM my time (10:05:09 AM their time), someone from CBC, Toronto (corporate headquarters, perhaps) visited my blog, specifically this page.

Considering the fact that only a few days ago I alerted Sun TV to the very same page, in a (likely feeble and forlorn) attempt to get them to see what they can dig up about...

• the Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, and 

• whether or not the survey that I participated in was commissioned by the Friends, and

• whether or not the Friends could be persuaded to release the raw data so we could see if they are applying rather exaggerated spin when they cite the results of this survey,  which I suspect they are

...then I am rather curious.

Did someone at Sun TV alert some CBC staffer to this, or did Sun TV actually speak about it on one of their programs or what? In any case, Sun TV has not contacted me, not that I expected them to,  but CBC was paying attention.

Maybe it was only coincidental, but in any case, I'm glad CBC knows what I think of them, if they didn't already. They must be feeling the heat, what with the imbroglio James Moore has gotten himself into.

Someone From England...

...visited my blog this morning, having used the following keywords:

"russian proper gander posters"

LOL!! I kid you not. I can only hope s/he wasn't a native Brit.

Thanks for the laugh, anyway.

I wonder what an "improper" gander would do to distinguish itself from a "proper" gander? Would it be good for the goose? (Groan)

Oh, and someone from California was looking for "Italian men with stubble."  Sorry to disappoint, but computers are stupid that way.  It's not my fault.

Oh, The Losers Are So Angry

Someone from Singapore (!!) landed on this entry and attempted to post the following comment:

"Not many comments here. Gee I wonder why. Go suck a double double and fuck your secretary like good ole not born here Vic teows."

Oh, the good ole left. They are so diplomatic.

Look sweetie. Do you understand that the name Louise is feminine. I won't be "fucking" my secretary, even if I had one. I lack the necessary equipment. Besides that, I'm a great fan of Vic Teows and I agree with his take on things, so, too bad, so sad. Yours is the kind of comment that prompted me to begin monitoring comments. Congratulations on being banned for your stupidity.

PS: I suspect s/he's a Canadian citizen living and working in Singapore. Perhaps s/he's from Manitoba or Winnipeg, Vic Teows home turf. Anyway. This is one of the things that makes blogging so much fun. I can silence the idiots who don't know how to make their case without childish outbursts.

Looking Back - Sightmeter Sightings

Anybody remember this one: The Seven Rules of the Arab Parallel Universe. Not much has changed. Still waiting for the Arab Spring to bear fruit, if it's going to.

Johns Hopkins

Sometimes I can detect a pattern in the visits I get to my blog. Very frequently people from Johns Hopkins University land on this old entry.

Hopefully, they are teaching students what not to do when conducting research.

Previous.

Haven't Done...

...a sitemeter sightings entry in a long time. There's a good one from Budapest, Hungary this morning. The guy(?) was looking for "Canadian beaver porn" and to my everlasting shame, he actually found something.

Sometimes You Find ...

UPDATE: Oh, we have a bunch of randy Americans today. Now there's someone from somewhere in the US looking for "sexy men port". I think it was this entry that he or she landed on. Sexy men, indeed!
====================
...the most interesting things on sitemeter.

This morning someone from New Jersey searched for pakistan.sex.com

He or she landed on this entry.

Sorry to disappoint, pal. Better luck next time.

CBC Visits Again

Someone from Mother Corp landed on this entry and clicked on this link:

Jack Layton Goes Limp Under Pressure

Hehehehehehe. Sorry to disappoint.

Good to see you haven't forgotten me.

I still think you should be privatized. Ooooooooh. Scaaaaaaarrry.

Well That's a First!

Looking through my sitemeter hits just now and came across one where the person at the other end had used the search terms "i had gay sex with my dad". Oooookay! To each his own, but why did my blog turn up?
