Stalking Much?

Posted in soccer, web trinkets, what?, tagged , , , , on December 5, 2007 | 4 Comments »

I get all kinds of weird Google searches leading to this blog every day.  From the oddly omnipresent “dirndl fuck” to the mundane “lyrics to chelsea hotel number two,” I’ve seen a lot of search terms and I’ve imagined a lot of disappointed people when they reach a blog that has nothing at all to [...]
