Not Exactly Search Request Thursday

For the past couple of days, I've been getting huge numbers of hits from various search engines, all for the same (rather bizarre) phrase.... Enough so that it's almost doubled my hits-per-day average. I think Fred Coppersmith over at Occasional Fish had the same thing happen to him a while back... Did you eventually come to the conclusion that it was some kind of weird spam technique, Fred?

Anyway, it's made my search logs a bit difficult to pick through, and it seems like a reasonably good excuse to discontinue the "Search Request Thursday" thing for a while, because, frankly, it was starting to feel more like work than fun, anyway, even if the results did usually give me a chuckle.

It may or may not make a reappearance. Stay tuned, I guess.
