This is whatshisname Hsu – the Chinese guy suspected of all sorts of financial funny business with Hillary Clinton.
He looks like a space alien.
I mean – look at him, fer crissakes! Just look at him!
There’s an even more strange photo after the “more” thingy that is not a “fold” thingy. Not safe for work:
Beefy. There’s a lot of lovin’ there for some lucky water buffalo. (Photo from Break.com)
But surely someone out there in Innertubeville will ask, “What has a space alien and a herd of Beefy Delights got to do with the title of the post?
Ah! Good question. The answer is:
Nothing.
Ya see, I have had stunningly low blog stats ever since I created this blog a couple months ago. Now this is not a bit surprising – and no disappointment to me – since I have carefully avoided intentionally mentioning its existence anywhere. What people don’t know about, they cannot flock to in unmanageable hordes.
So they say, anyway.
Now please note: I do not begrudge the few folks who know about this place their knowledge. They’re nice folks and I appreciate their encouragement and comments. Thats the truth.
That’s not my point. My point is that on two occasions my stats have gone through the roof (relatively speaking): once when I mentioned Al Gore in the post title. And once when I posted a moderately pornographic image.
Interestingly – the Al Gore post got way more hits. This really makes me wonder about Al Gore supporters.
So…..
I combined the two title/subject items and am now gonna sit back and watch what happens over the next 24 hours. I even included the phrase “space aliens” here in the text just to sweeten the tea. I’ve posted this about 6PM Central – just about right for a new round of stats to start.
So think about Whatshisname Hsu – the space alien – and relax, and surf the ‘Net, and I’ll let you know what the stats are Monday evening.
If I’m not otherwise engaged, that is. I might go South for a few days househunting. Depends on the weather. And my mood.
I want to be moved and finished sooooo bad.
UPDATE: It’s working. Site hits are now the second-highest ever about exactly tied for second – my bad- after 13 hours. Note to self: never put Al G’s name or the word “porn” in a post title again.

Dammit!!! I’d thought I’d found my Algore / Space Alien Pr0n at last. This is a cruel hoax McGoo.
November 26, 2007 at 5:34 pm
Yes. Hoax, yes, but cruel – not too much.
Apologies for conducting scientific experiments on your psyche – but it was for science! I’ll split all the patent money with you.
The blog stats did go way up (a whopping 22 hits so far today!), just like the other two times I posted something strange or involving Al Gore – er, but I repeat myself.
Not that I give a fiddly-fart about stats. If I cared about stats, I’d list the blog with my nickname when I comment at various places.
November 26, 2007 at 5:38 pm
Update: 5:35PM Central – I’m up to 30 hits!
A deluge!
That’s nearly what Al Gore earned all by himself way back whenever. And well over the hit total for the Japanese porn babe.
I have a system!
November 26, 2007 at 5:44 pm
Hmm. I wonder what a Ron Paul post would do?
November 26, 2007 at 5:53 pm
Whoa. Ron Paul.
Do I dare?
But this time, rather than just saying I’m testing the system, I should make up something totally – um – believable (to a Ronulan, anyway).
I don’t know if I can do that. What’s believable to a Ronulan? Other than that Hsu really is a space alien, I mean?
November 26, 2007 at 6:43 pm
Well – with minutes to go in the day’s stat tallies, the latest post tied the Al Gore post. 33 hits! Woot!

Rats. I managed to only poke one of my eyes out with a fork before my wife was alerted by my screaming (started even before the fork). You gotta give a little more warning than what you did – that’s not a slam, but gentle (and urgent at the same time) feedback, as I only have one eye left. I can only say that now after having calmed down.
I wonder, will my insurance cover the therapy I will need after viewing muddy water buffalo in bikinis?
