My favorite Habs fan and I are heading out for my first trip to a Hooters to check out the fight in an hour or so, so I guess I should make my picks for the fight official. Without further ado, my quick, lousy, uninformed picks, this time in a sentence or less:
Rich Franklin vs. Anderson Silva
Dana White has taken the unusual step of requiring Rich Franklin to have an ordained catholic priest in his corner in order to perform last rights in the second round: Anderson Silva by heart stoppage.
Tim Sylvia vs. Brandon Vera
Brandon Vera’s only chance of getting hurt in this fight is if he twists his ankle doing his sumo-inspired surfer victory dance after finishing Tim Sylvia in the third.
Kalib Starnes vs. Alan Belcher
Kalib Starnes (a Canuck, I think) was so annoying on The Ultimate Fighter that I’m sure he’ll have Alan Belcher tapping out before the referee introductions are finished.
Eric Schafer vs. Stephan Bonnar
Stephan Bonnar is probably off the steroids this fight, but I’m sure he didn’t lose the muscle: Eric Shafer sees stars in the second.
Yushin Okami vs. Jason MacDonald
In a boring fight for what may be the number one contender slot in the Middleweight division that will mercifully remain unshown, Yushin Okami outlasts Jason (Canuck!) MacDonald for the decision.
Josh Burkman vs. Forrest Petz
Burkman wins beats Petz because somebody cared enough to give him a Wikipedia entry.
Jason Black vs. Matt Grice
Ditto for Black beating Grice.
Demian Maia vs. Ryan Jensen
This time the more talented but as-of-yet un-Wikipedia’d Brazillian Maia beats Ryan Jensen.
Alvin Robinson vs. Jorge Gurgel
And we stick with the Brazillian to round out the fight: Gurgel beats Robinson by submission.
A lot of my traffic on this site is from search engines. And while I like to think that my site is a beacon of knowledge in the wasteland of the Internet, I get the feeling that not everyone is finding what they were looking for.
Google’s Webmaster Tools lets you see what search terms led people to your site, as well as what your average search ranking is for those terms. Here’s what I have for the last week:
| Top search queries | Average top position |
|---|---|
| suck me | 9 |
| gmail notifier firefox | 8 |
| heiffer project | 2 |
| auto zoom | 4 |
| “fat js” | 2 |

Some of those people got what they were looking for. But whoever searched for “suck me” probably didn’t want an article about comic books. And while I did write about Batman, I don’t host any torrents to download that issue.
So, I’d like to apologize to free-loaders and porn-seekers: I’m sorry Google sent you here, but you’re going to have to look elsewhere.
Well, it’s not really a secret since he talks about it on TV, but Drew Carey was once in the Marine Corps. No, really. For six years. So the question that comes to mind is WHAT? That guy? With that gut? REALLY?
Luckily, Wikipedia comes to the rescue: Drew Carey in the Marine Corp.
Check that out. Not the most handsome guy in the world, but still! That guy needs to go back to running 6 miles a day singing jodies about blood making the grass grow!
