strangled by feet

I just discovered, looking at the stats for this site, that MM.com is the site you get sent to when you google the phrase “strangled by feet.” It’s actually the only thing you get when you search through either Yahoo or Google. There’s a chance that I could be completely wrong about this, but my taste-maker senses are tingling like crazy, and I’m thinking that I might, once again, be present at the occurrence of yet another seismic shift in the cultural zeitgeist. A more cautious man than I would probably do a bit of research before putting his reputation on the line, but I am confident when I make this prediction - strangulation by feet is going to become the new ball shaving. Mark my words.

[Speaking of “ball shaving,” MM.com is now #2 in the world when the phrase is googled.]

What's this? No post-election gloating?

I'm just waiting for someone to find my site by searching for "foot strangling ball shaver." That's when I'll know that I've made it.

I just tried several permutations of “ball” and “strangle” and “foot” and “shave"(er)(ing) and found that most of them, when entered as phrases, yield nothing. This means that uncharted Google territory does indeed exist for you, Mark. The possibilities abound, and I stumbled onto them by accident, actually, because when I began typing “foot strangling ball shaver” I transposed some words and found I’d typed “ball strangling foot shaver” (what this says about my fetishes I’ll never tell). There were no hits for that. But, when I entered “foot” and “strangling” and “ball” and “shaver,” with no quotation marks, the top hit is for a site I never knew existed: Health 24. The page I was taken to wasn’t so interesting as their main Man site (www.health24.com/Man/), which has the kinds of articles I didn't even know I was interested in: “7 Best Condoms”; “Man food”; and the article that will totally revolutionize my life, “How Can I Find a Fitness Buddy?” What fitness buddies mean for me now, then, is that the next time I’m in South Africa, I can call up Aletta Brown in Johannesburg for “miscellaneous” fitness, or sammie for “other” (www.health24.com/fitness/findbuddy/findbuddy.asp).

Mark, your site opens up new worlds for me on a daily basis; your blog is ye ol' card catlog, in which I pull open a drawer in search of one thing, and lo there in the middle, as I’m flipping through for ball strangling, I find fitness buddies. Never knew they could exist in concert.
