Every so often, I go check my web user logs. It tells me when someone’s written an article about one of my games, or when someone’s asking around RPGnet or the Forge with rules questions, “Sell Me” threads, or whatever.<\/p>\n
It also tells me what Google searches people are doing. I get a lot for “glyphpress joshua” and “under the bed glyphpress” and “science fiction game joshua”. These are obviously people looking for my games.<\/p>\n
But then, then there are the other searches. The accidental hits. And you’d think they’d be all over the place. But they’re not. They fall into two categories.<\/p>\n
The first category is simple enough: people looking for a variety of things that contain the word “monkey”. Fair enough. Lots of “Monkey See, Monkey Do”. The occasional “Monkey Wedding”.<\/p>\n
The second category \u2014 really, a subcategory \u2014 is Monkey Fucking<\/a>. I don’t even see where I’m linked on that page. But every day<\/em> someone clicks through from MSN doing a search for Monkey Fucking. Sometimes, several people. And they’re different people. Ohio, South Africa, Germany…<\/p>\n Now, what’s not strange to me is that people are looking for pictures of monkey fucking. It is, by virtue of its “perfect storm” of elements, the funniest possible thing to see.<\/p>\n What boggles me is that they click through.<\/em> They set off in search of pictures of copulating tailed primates and wind up here at this humble weblog. It’s a marvel.<\/p>\n We truly live in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every so often, I go check my web user logs.
