Another day, another earth-shatteringly brilliant post-title. But what does it all mean? That's a question anyone visiting this journal will have been asking for two years now, but to answer it specifically today, I've been looking at the "referrer" statistics for Don't Look (as Bravejournal users will know, one of the features that comes with it is the ability to see which sites send visitors most often, so for example the bravejournal website is naturally up near the top) and what I found on there ranges from interesting to downright disturbing...

The most interesting thing to learn from the List (all hail the List!) is that it would seem that the more random words I write, the more people will find the blog on searches. An example is an entry from a long while back, when I specifically mentioned the "So Doff / Sod Off" sketch from The Two Ronnies, and have now discovered that some lucky devil came across this land of riches after typing a search for that sketch. So you see this presents a fascinating idea: people can search for top quality writing with witty jokes and excellent timing, and still find their way here!

More bizarre are the 'other' searches listed by which people somehow came here - the kind of searches that I can't actually mention specifically for fear of upsetting the large numbers of small children and elderly ladies that frequent this journal, and so I shall censor myself if need be. Now I can understand Don't Look being in a listing for a search about Ronnie Barker, but I'm almost certain that I have never mentioned **** ******** ***** * ***** ****** ****** *****! I didn't even think it was legal to put your ***** in a ***** **** * ***** like that...

On a totally different matter, last night's post about Fur Elise got me thinking about its origins. This is the sort of person I am: after knowing it for most of my life, it has only just occured to me that the title actually means something; that all things considered 'Elise' sounds like a name, and although I'm taking a wild stab it may not be too far out to suggest that 'Fur' means 'For' in German. Which leads to the next question - who was Elise? Why did Beethoven write a piece of music for her? On the other hand, my brother thinks that it sounds like 'Fleur d'Lise' which is French for flower of the lilly or something, thus making it music about gardening. Personally I prefer my theory, although I've yet to find anything either way. When I do a search for it on google it just provides handy links to Walmart for some reason...

Oh, and hi back to "venom75", a cheerful-sounding person if ever I heard of one! Sounds like we should send some Don't Look Too Closely love in his direction. Come on everybody! Ready?

Never mind...
