Crawl

People ask me all the time if I'll link their site, or if I'll link a site they think is cool, or something like that.

Some other people occasionally send me 10 bucks or so to offset the costs of keeping the website up and running.

So I figured, why not marry the two?

Texads are now available on WWdN. I get about 500,000 unique visitors a month, and this test ad I've been running has done almost 900 pageviews in less than 45 minutes.

So it's just 10 bucks / 2500 impressions. If you're interested, click here and set your phasers to buy.

Heh. I like talking about setting phasers to do things. I once said to a waiter, "Set your phasers to 'refill!'"

He looked at me like I was crazy.

Speaking of crazy people, when I was in San Diego, the majority of people in our hotel on Thursday night were ultra-fundie xtian people, with their judgmental t-shirts and big ass crosses on chains.

Anne and I got into the elevator (I started to type 'enterprise. wtf is that about?). A girl rushed into the elevator, and I said, "where are you going," as I pushed the button for the 6th floor.

"Six," she said.

"Oh! Six!" I said, "That's the floor that's sweeping the nation!"

"Damn, Wheaton, you are a funny motherfucker," I thought.

She put her hand on her hip, and proudly displayed her "Not perfect, just saved" T-shirt, and said, "Exactly what is that supposed to mean?!"

"Uhh . . . it means that it's where all the cool kids are staying?" I said.

"Oh. Okay," she said.

Anne and I shared an unspoken "WTF?!" as the elevator stopped on our floor.

I'm not perfect or saved, baby. So suck it.
