Directions On How To Get Here

Go to the MSN Search Engine website and enter the words "Go Blow A Goat". Click Search and the Nanny Goats blog will appear about 9th on the list.

Perhaps by now, you may be asking yourself "How does she know this?" Well, let me tell you. I signed up for this website statistics counter thing where they tell you stuff like how many unique visitors you've had on what days and which site they came from. Some are people I actually know. Some are people who have randomly flipped from blog to blog via the NEXT BLOG button at the top of most people's blogs from blogspot.com. And then there are those who have entered keywords into a search engine and landed on this page.

This might seem funny until you see the type of people (and the things for which they search) that a blogger such as myself who has unwittingly included the word "Panties" in her blog title has managed to attract.

Some guy from Seigen, Germany entered "Children in Panties" and my blog was included in their results list. Of course, anybody looking for children in panties is a pervert, but that same person saw "Nanny Goats in Panties" and got curious enough to click that link. I'm fairly certain he didn't get what he was expecting. So why did he spend 47 seconds on my blog AND click on an archived entry? Was he reading my stuff? ACK! I feel violated!

I'm not sure how I feel about internet surfers wearing nothing but trenchcoats, waiting for that school bell to ring, lurking around my neighborhood.

Manjo Gazette and the BBB

The Better Business Bureau for the Eastern Washington State area has a website that lists useful links for Washington, Idaho, and Montana. They also have a National list for useful resources such as the Department of Homeland Security and famous anti-scam consumer links such as Internet ScamBusters, Cagey Consumer, and the Urban Legends Reference Page. Nanny Goats' sister site, the Manjo Gazette, notoriously unfamous in its own right, is also on this list.

How the hell did this happen?

Thanks to one of my biggest fans (Erin) for discovering the infamous Ted Hay's article reviewing Nanny Goats In Panties. To see the review just click here.

I have a Yahoo email address mostly to collect junk mail from websites that require valid email addresses upon registration. I didn't normally check it, but now I receive valid email at that address. So I'm cruising the long list of unread mail barely paying attention to the Subject Line as I mark the delete checkmark box for each one without reading them. I mean, I kinda already know the contents of the Penis Enlargement ads, and hey, there are only so many times you can undergo that kind of surgery, so after awhile, it falls on deaf ears. Or blind eyes. Or whatever.

But sometimes, you notice things, like how Omaha Steaks sends me an ad whose Subject Line reads: "Save 68% plus 2 free gifts, 3 days only". Then another email from Omaha Steaks dated approxiamtely, oh, THREE DAYS LATER, says "Save 75% plus 2 free gifts, 3 days only." So, you know, if you wait a few more series of three day intervals...

I also received a very important email from Amazon.com. According to them, it was their second notice. They sent it to me 4 times about 3 minutes apart. They said I should immediately go to this [click here] website and enter all my personal information. When I dug into the properties of the email, it really came from someone at wellbeburningyo.com. Get it? We'll Be Burning You Dot Com? A Google search revealed nothing about any spam coming from these people, but I found the domain website (www[dot]wellbeburningyo[dot]com) - a very plain page which requires login, so I tried a username of "Shame on You" and a Password of "Spammers". I tried logging in several times all the while lecturing them and cursing them, fantasizing that it will all show up on some log somewhere of failed login attempts. Of course, with my luck, they'll track me down, spam the hell out of me, steal my identity and run over my dog.

Was It Here? Or There?

The Sacramento Sun printed the following story that I will repeat in its entirety as it is not that long. You can see it for yourself on the site here

Stewart's new son's name is Alastair
Big News Network
Wednesday 7th December, 2005 (UPI)


British rocker Rod Stewart and his fiancee Penny Lancaster Wednesday announced they have named their 10-day-old son Alastair Wallace Stewart.

Alastair was chosen for its Scottish origins and Wallace was the name of Lancaster's grandfather, Stewart's publicist told People magazine.

The baby was born Nov. 27 at St. John and St. Elizabeth Hospital in London.

The family is currently home together in Epping, England.

Lancaster, 34, and Stewart, 60, have said they plan to marry in the spring.

Alastair is Lancaster's first child while Stewart has five children from previous relationships.

I don't know about you, but I'm not too sure about the journalistic integrity of this article. Here's a newspaper that I, and more specifically, most people, have never heard of before, that wants me to take it seriously, yet prints events that are geographically impossible. I mean, how many babies do you know that were born in two places at once? Is this some sort of time travel thing? A doppelganger occurance? Or what?
