Hey, it works for Rachel Lucas*.

It’s a warm, happy spring day, the birdies are singing, the lumber is arriving, and where my thought process should be is the same sound you get when you hold your ear up to a seashell.
So, since I tend to work better when given some form of guidelines, because what I thought would turn out to be more read/commented on than others never is what actually IS, and just for the sake of trying a new way to punt: what SHOULD we write about? Ranting or wonking improv on demand… at least, as best as we can muster.
Think of it this way- the next inevitable step if this doesn’t work is us dressing Kodos and Kang in humiliating outfits and photographing them, which is more likely to lead to our untimely deaths than wild success…
*And for the purposes of this experiment, I’m going to pretend that it’s NOT simply because she’s a thousand times more popular than we are… and justifiably so.

Seriously, this is why Sitemeter includes search keywords among its data. Look at Marko yesterday: He pulls up some sitemeter data, adds a pinch of snark, and BAM! he’s got thirty-something reader comments on why Mormons aren’t Christians and buttsecks is bad.

The problem there is we haven’t had any interesting search phrases since “stingray genitals.” It’s all “boobies” or “atomic nerds” or “puppy play bow”. Fer instance. The rest contains no gems as fruitful as the fun you, Marko, etc. seem to draw.
I suppose I could write something up about how I haven’t had time to google WTF is making our M1 Carbine shoot so high over point-of-aim that it apparently has a will of its own and wants to try to take out a spy satelite, but then if I’m going to gun-bleg, I’d rather stump to see the S&W 25-5 appear at The Arms Room.
One way or t’other, content WILL arrive as soon as one of us can shake the spring day out of our head. LR is even threatening as I type to just run with the “nothing but boobies in sitemeter” thing.

Comments are a mystery. You all are far more prolific than I and draw a much, much larger audience, but in my own small way I’ve noticed the same thing- something you think’ll raise a good discussion just dies, other things tend to live on. On your M1 carbine, I’d first try popping off the stock and then putting it back on, perhaps with a dab of grease where the forend hooks in- used to make a difference with Garands, sometimes.

I think you should delve into the really good Northern New Mexico eats you have all around you. Meatloaf from the Zia diner, reviews and recipes thereof. Rancho de Chimayo sopapillas w/honey…the devil’s ultimate carboload lure? Or are they real, honest to gawd Angel’s food? Discuss.
You could also show off the fine fly fishing in the Barndillera range. Y’all live in a good place (so long as you don’t mind a few crack gangs).
