Some time back, I got an email from a newly-acquired Reader who asked me how I’d managed to blog for such a long time, and what was the best way to enjoy this website.
I don’t recall exactly what I told him, but here are a couple tips if you want to while away a few hours in pointless entertainment.
- Go to the right hand side of the page, and under CATEGORIES pick a topic at random (or one of particular interest to you) and go back through the history. It’s kinda fun to see all those old (mostly) rants and such.
- In the “Search” box on the top right column, key in a random word (e.g. Mauser) and see what falls out of the tree. (Just watch yer spelling; this is an old-fashioned website, and there is no auto-correct.)
- Think of a random topic (e.g. slavery), type that into the “Search” box and see if I’ve ever written anything about it
Just a thought…
Can I suggest “africa sink” as a search term? A 24 year old essay that led many people to this site.
This one is a perpetual favorite of mine:

For a while, my aging brain decided that Jeremy Clarkson had written this article, which may be a compliment to either both or neither of you.
