Happy Pentagon Thanksgiving
I hope everyone has enjoyed a good Thanksgiving and now, like me, is quickly sinking into a coma.
In other news, I'm pleased to see we're finally getting a higher class of visitor around here. As you see below, earlier today someone from the Pentagon dropped by. And wonderfully enough, he/she got here by searching Google for shia arc...which led here.
I also note that post is the #1 Google entry out of 154,000 for shia arc. As always, it's nice to be noticed, but I'm not sure this is the best way to organize the world's information.

"Visit Length 0 seconds"
He/she knew right away this wasn't the place he/she was looking for.

Posted by: sk at November 23, 2006 11:01 PMJonathan, I suspect your visitor exited in frustration. Using teh google on teh tangled up tubes is supposed to lead to nests of evildoers, who as we all know plot their evildoing on websites. It's a shame he didn't stay. I could have told him that the evildoers are on tour and spared him a lot of trouble.
Posted by: J. Alva Scruggs at November 24, 2006 12:08 AMIs there some kind of scientologist time warp here? If they were here for 0 seconds, were they really here at all? Is this an alien doing? Happy gibble gobble, and this pardoning of the turkeys must cease at once. Particularly those at the Pentagon.
Posted by: Jesus B. Ochoa at November 24, 2006 12:43 AMonce, for just a few seconds, my site was the no. 1 entry for unprotected+sex+trilateral+commission. But that was then.
Anyway, now that you are important, I decided to wiki you...since "googling" somebody is so 2005.
this is the best I could come up with:
Specialist Schwarz had been stationed in Bosnia from 1997 to 1998, and in his words, he "got bored. I mean really bored." To relieve the boredom, he and the other soldiers would pull various pranks on each other, and these became the subject of some emails he sent to friends and relatives back home; eventually, he began mentioning something new that he was not allowed to do at the end of every email. It hadn't actually started out as a joke; the first one was that he was not allowed to watch South Park when he was supposed to be working.
a friend compiled a list of these, entitled "The 101 things Skippy can't do", even though it had only thirty items on it. However, he continued adding to it until the list swelled to 213. They were eventually put up on a web site, which he found to his astonishment then became immensely popular.
Is this you doppelganger, or are you in fact,
Jonathan "Skippy" Schwarz?
Raise you a visit from the USAF 7th Communications Group (i.e. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue). Had OSD and the Elysee Palace in as well.

Posted by: ichomobothogogus at November 24, 2006 05:49 AMIt's almost reassuring, how touchingly pathetic and scattershot their snooping is. If your blog ends abruptly I'm storming Gitmo though.
There's only one flaw in your theory. The Pentagon is in Virginia, not DC.
I call conspiracy and coverup!
