And if you think he&#8217;s an innocent party, maybe you should blame Sally Struthers for begging for the food that caused said uncontrolled flatulence.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>You may be asking yourself, &#8220;So how can you increase web traffic and make this site more hip and trendy?&#8221;  Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t have berets and sunglasses to go along with any bizarre abstract poetry, but a second option might be to add some buzzwords.  If you do a web search for &#8220;Shawn Bakken&#8221;, this will be the first site on the list.  If you do a web search for &#8220;Shawn Bakken porn&#8221;&#8230; I <i>hope<\/i> this will be the first site on the list.  (If it&#8217;s not, I&#8217;ll have a lot of explaining to do to a lot of people.  Myself included.)  So it might help if I add a couple other buzzwords that might pop up on random searches that don&#8217;t specifically include my name, such as:<\/p>\n<p>sex, sexy, sexalicious, penis, pen1s, p3nis, horny, horney, hornee, bj, blowjob, rimjob, rimshot, porn, fuck, pron, fukc (I might get some hits from perverts who can&#8217;t spell with one hand, you never know&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>Mind you, I&#8217;d never stoop to such depths just to get more traffic on the website.  I&#8217;m above that.  However, there&#8217;s one sentence that might be a little less popular for Internet searches, but one that could still catch people&#8217;s attention:<\/p>\n<p>I have epilepsy.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been planning on writing about it eventually, but hey, blame Sally Struthers.  And yes, epilepsy probably isn&#8217;t the only reason why the title of this entry is appropriate, but it&#8217;s the only medically certifiable reason.  Lord knows it&#8217;s had a huge effect on my life&#8212;huge enough that I&#8217;ll be renaming the category &#8220;Head Case&#8221; to &#8220;Epilepsy&#8221; eventually, but that would have spoiled the surprise ending to this entry.  If anyone has questions, by all means, leave comments and I&#8217;ll do my best to answer them.  If you don&#8217;t&#8230; well, I can always start talking about pron again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things seem to be slowing down on the blog these days&#8212;sure, you could say it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m lazy, but I prefer to avoid blame and say there&#8217;s a third party responsible.
