A few search queries

It's been awhile since I searched through my referrer logs to see what searches bring people to the Crusty Curmudgeon. I'm gratified to see that they're no less odd than they used to be:

• streamline art deco garbage: Hmmm, yeah, I can see how that would bring people right to me.
• unsecured wireless networks, Bakersfield, CA: Yeah, I'd know all about those here in Ottawa.
• bioethical issues in Charlotte's web: Huh? They didnt' eat Wilbur, you know.

Also, it turns out that Wikipedia actually has an entry for "crusty" (which kind of strains its credibility as an encyclopedia, but I digress):

Crusty may be used to help describe a type of person, such as in the phrase "crusty old colonel". Typically such a crusty person would have the following attributes, either in part or wholly:

• inflexible

Yeah, sometimes . . .

• out-dated

I wouldn't go that far . . .

• conservative in their opinions

Pretty much . . .

• a firm believer in the value of institutions important to them personally, such as a village fete organising committee, their gentleman's club

Sort of true, though I can't say I'm crusty enough for a villege fete organizing committee or gentleman's club . . .

In almost all situations crusty people are old and male.

Old? Why, you . . .
