This Post Has Nothing To Do With Vietnamese Hookers
For the all-encompassing, depthless, hopeless narcissist who has already given in to the temptation of blogging, Sitemeter is the tool for you. Nothing fills your empty time like obsessing over original visits and page-views on an hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/etc. basis.

My favorite part of Sitemeter (after the ego stroke, of course) is the By Referrals part where you can see where people are coming from. I think that's what it tells you. If it's not, disregard the rest of this.

Most of these are blog addresses, which makes sense and is fine, allowing me to reciprocate contact, but the really fun ones are the Google, Yahoo! or any other kind of engine search that randomly turns up Pops' Bucket.

You never know who might accidentally wander in looking for something else entirely.

Nosing through my latest collection of unfortunate wandering souls, I was only slightly disturbed when I found this link amongst the Referrals page.

I didn't come up until #51 on the list of site matches, but still, anytime someone associates you with Vietnamese Hookers it's a big day for your blog.

I realize that I just associated my blog yet again with that word. Maybe I have a shot to move up from 51. Here's hoping.

My own mention of Vietnamese hookers (third time lucky) was, of course, a throwaway line in a drawn out, self-defeating joke, just like all the other throwaway, drawn out, self-defeating joke, the absence of which would negate the very existence of this blog.

The unwitting drawing of new eyeballs into the Bucket here cuts both ways--increased traffic, but the potential attached stigma of being associated with Indochina's booming sexual tourism industry.

The power of words blithely and recklessly printed here is also made readily apparent. Anything I say, however random and out-of-context for potential Googlers, will potentially become keywords and draw me into search results.

Keeping that in mind, some lists concerning my experiences thus far with my blog and internet searches:

Other distasteful/random things I have been associated with completely by accident: scrotum weights, Philo T. Farnsworth, a song entitled "Throw The Jew Down The Well", Michelle Malkin.

Other things I realize I will be associated with since I've recently blogged them: poetry, flu vaccine, The Brothers Karamazov, "Bullet With Butterfly Wings", Tucker Carlson

Other things I would like to be associated with and will now become so by including the follwing key words in this post: world peace, cold fusion, key lime pie recipes, holistic antifungal remedies.

Random things I will now insert to fuck with search engine users: Bush twins nude! Ann Coulter nude! Mary Cheney nude!

So if you've found this blog looking for Vietnamese hookers or Women Associated With Conservative Politics In Various States Of Undress, I say "Welcome, Confused and Misguided Pervs!"

Now fuck off. What is the matter with you? Sick bastards.
