A La Beetlejuice.

It's been a good while since I've done this, but it came to mind today.  So, in today's episode of Shameless Hit Mongering, we'll say the phrase that hopefully pays three times:

Jordan Peterson
Jordan Peterson.
Jordan Peterson.

If you've been paying attention to online articles about Peterson you've probably seen the comments sections accompanying those articles balloon with Peterson supporters.  A good example was Ed Brayton's post yesterday on Dispatches From The Culture Wars.  A bunch of people showed up to set Ed and everyone else straight.  Not that it really worked.  So I'm curious to see if I suddenly get a bunch of hits merely by mentioning his name.  Not that Shameless Hit Mongering has worked much in the past.

Peterson won't be getting a blog tag at this time.  I suspect his fifteen minutes will be done sooner than a lot of people expect.

COVFEFE!!!!!!

Yes, I too will acknowledge the wondrous wordiness that is covfefe.  All hail the mighty covfefe!  I just have to make sure I'm one of the first 194712947218972 people to post something about it on the very first day it exists.  I hope that by doing so I will get zillions and zillions of hits.

Unfortunately my previous attempts at such Shameless Hit Mongering really haven't worked.  But this time for sure!

Shameless Using The Shameless.

Blog traffic has been down lately.  Perhaps the kind of people who come across this blog are on their winter vacations.  After considering this another factor came to mind.  I've been remiss in mentioning Donald Trump.  After all Donald Trump is the most important man in the Universe.  Just ask Donald Trump.(I'm sure someone will be disappointed that writing his name 3 times didn't make him appear in my room, like Beetlejuice.)  But what could I write that would distinguish my post from the zillions of other Donald Trump posts?  I could claim something like "Donald Trump wants to ban pancakes."  But that would make me a big fat liar, just like Donald Trump.

In all seriousness, you are a big dumb dumbdumb if you vote for Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, if you are reading this, no, I will not write a bunch of posts about you.  Even if you offer me lots of money.  Well, okay, maybe if it's no strings attached.  Like that would happen.

And to my surprise I actually have a Donald Trump tag. That should make The Donald happy..

A Piece Of The Pie?

It's been a long time since I've done any Shameless Hit Mongering, so it's time for some.  Today's phrase that probably doesn't pay is GamerGate. 

Another Try.

Haven't done this in a while.  Anyways, here's some shameless hit mongering.  Today's phrase: Rebecca Watson.  It will be interesting to see if this is any indication the nasties spend any time looking for any mention of her name to pounce on.

Rambling Nostalgia.

Instead of some profound statement, or an attempt at one, for the first post of the year, here's some fun.

First of all, we have Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians doing "Auld Lang Syne."  Poor Guy, he did all sorts of other things, but he's best remembered for this, which used to be a staple of New Year's Eve parties and programs.  But not so much anymore, so for some of you younger folk this may be the first time you've heard it.

And since the song, and New Years, are often about nostalgia, I thought I'd bring back something I haven't done in a long time.  Admittted  it was inspired by this post by PZ Myers.  In any case, we have Kim Kardashian, Paula Deen, cooking show.  Yep, long time readers, it's time for some shamless hit mongering after a long absense.

Not that it ever seems to work.

That Voice.

It's weird finding out that Kanye West sampled a Mike Oldfield tune of all things, although not as weird as it would have been if I hadn't heard he'd sampled King Crimson.  So, it's time for some good old shameless hit mongering by posting "In High Places" here.  Not that it's worked in the past, but maybe this time.

Tim Doesn't Twitter.

In case you were wondering(you probably weren't, but I'm telling you anyways) I won't be jumping on the Twitter bandwagon. I already have an outlet to bore people with my personal life, this one, and see no need to do so in 140 character chunks. If you feel the need to follow someone's Twitter feed why not Oprah's? I doubt it will be that much more interesting than what I would write, but I'll let you find that out yourself.

Gas In Saskatoon, September 26, 2008.

No picture today. I forgot my camera. Today gas in Saskatoon at most stations was 126.9 cents a litre, 3 cents down from last week.

This post was brought to you by Pornsack Songsaeng's Luck Andro and Ginger Baker's Horses and Trees, the cassettes I was listening to as I drove.

Well Whadaya Know...

...sometimes shameless whining (or to use a phrase I've used more than once, shameless hit mongering) does get the hit count up. (You'll have to find the actual whining yourself.) Of course I'm hoping the resulting visitors aren't the obsessives who've been drawn to Pharyngula by "Crackergate." It's ironic to see claims that PZ Myers is merely trying to attract attention with his actions over the past few days. After all his blog is one that regularly has posts that result in 200 hundred response threads. He gets plenty of attention already. In fact all the outraged folks are doing is helping to push the visibility of Pharyngula up, and presumably its already high ranking on sites like Technorati as well. Its one of the top 200 at Technorati in any case.

Son Of Shameless Hit Mongering.

It's that time again. Time to suck in hits to this blog via blatent search engine taunting. Will mentioning Expelled and Ben Stein boost my hit count? We'll soon find out. Too bad Stein felt the need to make a fool of himself by taking part in such a foolish film.

Blogtrolling? Trollblogging?

PZ Myers and Orac have been getting a bunch of hits over the last couple of days because they discussed US Presidential candidate Ron Paul. So I'm gonna mention him too and see what happens. I have done this before, and the thought just came to mind that maybe this kind of activity needs a name. So, which do you think is better, blogtrolling or trollblogging? Of course I could just stick with my existing term for this activity, shameless hit mongering.

Here She Is Again.

The past couple of days I've been getting hits due to the image in this post from earlier this year about Jene Yeo's post Undergrads activities. For some reason it's turned up on Google's image search engine when you enter Jene Yeo's name. So, in the spirit of shamelessly trying to get yet more hits on my blog here's another Jesse picture, and a sexier one at that. Just don't expect me to make a habit of it.

A Blast From The Past(of this blog).

It's time for me to do something I haven't done in a long time on here. Mainly because it didn't work. Once more I present the Random Search Engine Attractor Phrase. Today's attempt: intelligent design.

Shameless Hit Count Whoring.

Tonight's the night. The final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is being released. Therefore I shamelessly present to you this post, which has no other purpose than being a blatant attempt to boost my traffic. So c'mon Potterfans! Visit here now. After all you owe me for all the wanking that will result online from whatever JK Rowling has in store for poor Harry(although rumour has it the kid lives), wanking that could be expended on more valuable topics, like Doctor Who.

Its late, and I'm bored. So, lets see what happens when I post these two words: Worldnetdaily and Worldnutdaily.

Hello kookies....
