NEW RANDOMS GALLERY

Throughout 2024 and 2025 I knocked out a blog post every day and to my surprise this blog was apparently getting over 2000 hits a day. They were probably mostly a load of AI bollocks but it seemed sort of like a mark of success.

In 2026 I stopped being so anal about posting daily and dropped back to just doing posts when I felt like it, which was about once every three days.

And holy crap did my hits crash or what? I'm not convinced that any hit counts by Google are legitimate, but I must admit I'm curious to see what happens if I go back to doing a post every day again. Will the hits go back up again after about three weeks?

The only "social media" platform I still post on is Facebook, who seem to let me post just about anything I want, with almost no censorship any more. So I do.

I've just set up a new gallery "RANDOMS 2026" which will mostly be images I've shared on Facebook this year.

FEEDBACK REVISITED

  Back around 20 years ago I used to have a blog that was set up so that readers could leave feedback. Some of the comments used to crack me up, and this one time, I compiled a bunch of them into a post.

In this day and age (2026) almost all feedback on social media platforms is AI, so it's boring repetitive, witless crap, just as everything "written" by AI always is. I'm not interested in modern feedback, but when I found this old feedback post last week, I felt like sharing it again.

This month the hits on this blog have ranged from under 50 to over 3000 in a day. I'm far from convinced anything to do with modern blogging is real! But I do think most of these comments from around 2006 were real.  

Here is some classic feedback from my old www.frot.co.nz blog! Google have been going hard out trying to censor my old feedback post. What is offending their delicate sensibilities? Now I want to work out which images or words are banned...

After further testing I concluded that a picture of a try hard heavy metaler with his PENIS hanging out of a hole in the crotch of his pants was offending Google so I replaced it.

Once again I have been let into the mysterious workings of your mind. Surely no goat could mind control that! – BL


Your a dangerous stupid shit. The cancer industry may well be a scam, but I don’t think its even as close as your crackpot mind at thinks it is. A good chunk of that cancer industry scam is your natural health mates – RP


Hey – Big ups from an old old man. I don’t surf much anymore – but what fun this site is – CC


I’m intrigued about many of your topics mentioned – consumerism, Monsanto, Dow, Du Pont, Bayer, 911, genetic engineering; those topics are not a staple of the American news diet. I believe they’ve affected our ability to exist in America, not to mention what they’ve done to the planet. (I’m sure Condoleeza Rice is analyzing my email right now and I’ll probably have a Guantanimo vacation soon for the asking) – BS



First of all thank you for informing me that there’s such a conspiracy (it really is) about the main search engine. It’s the same for wahooo and ciul and all others. Actually it’s all the same, there’s just one search engine in the world.. there’s no yho, no alta vissta, no bindd, no ask, no iANDEXX.ru, no nothing, is all ggl. THE SAME RESULTS EVERYWHERE! Just tipe “fuck ggl (real name of the s.engine)” in ciul and you’ll se what results if gives – and this should be the biggest competition of ggl. They back themselves up.

Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echelon_(signals_intelligence)

ggl censor the words “fakk yhoo” how do we expect to find reliable information about alternative – energy, alt. fuels, alt_medicine, alt_searchengines and other.

I can’t find reliable web sites giving information about the ggl cen–sorsh-ip ether so if you know any pls send it to me – NH


Dude, you need to move into the 21st century. Seriously – RW

 


I LIKE YOUR DIET BUT I NEED MORE COKE THAT YOU RECOMMEND AND I DRINK BOOZE VERY SLOWLY. BEST OF LUCK FROM BIG AL, THE FAT MAN – AS 


hi dude, im not sure if i really liked all the info on your pages, but what i had appreciated is your honesty and yourself. Would like to meet u one day – Just one question: do u like mountains??

PS sorry for the short, scribbled style of this mail but just recently i broke my right hand while trying to slide a stair’s handrail with my bike… – CN


Thanks for the dow info on your site. i’ve been looking into it a lot more lately. my mom had leaking implants and nursed my brother and I on them for almost a year each. now we’re all decrepid, insane, and unhealthy but I guess it’s okay because if it weren’t for my mom having big fake boobs, my dad might not have noticed her in the titty bar, knocking her up, then
she giving birth to me and my brother 🙂

The microwave thing is interesting, too. I’ll have to go back and read the rest of your site after my brain repairs from stumbling across your keyword spam google page. I’m going to have to steal your image of the guy getting his balls kicked and plaster it on forums full of idiotic teenagers who get on my nerves though… i hope you don’t mind. – MP


Send me a pic of you naked and l’ll think about it – MC


 


Hi, we appreciate your help in lobbying to revoke this silly and harmful helmet law, thanks – PM


Is it my mutton chops or your navel that’s giving them wood? – TE


I am writing to you regarded your very insightful website, and information provided on Apricot Kernels. I would greatly appreciate your permission in using some of the information you have provided for an article I’m writing on the subject, in “What Medicine?” magazine, a nationwide publication within the UK. I hope to hear from you soon. – SB


Hello my friend, We are liking to reading your daily blog thoughts on the internet. The internet is new here in our town. I live in Thule, Greenland. It is cold here, always. We are not riding bikes very much, I have a reindeer, Umlaut – he and I go riding together often. Sometimes he gives me the kissing with open mouth. It is dark night here very much. Umlaut is often a comfort. I am wishing that I could be riding bikes and doing death verts in Wellington.

Where can I post my opinions on your blog pages? Thank you – EB


After further examining your website I have concluded that you have a terrible habit of only looking at one side of the issue – JS.


How can I contact you? It’s very hard for me as I’ve got Alzheimer’s disease in the first place, but usually I can find the place where a web page has a ‘feedback’ page that tells the email address of the person putting it up!

Hey, I just added your Cocacola info as a link to my home page, and I’m coming back to read more of your siftings. We need more bloodhounds like you! Regards MD


You are such a morron!

– coca-cola isn’t as bad as you think because it has aspartame; i’m a diabetic and i eat aspartame instead of sugar with al my meals and I haven’t had any complaints yet. I”ve been doing this for at least 15 years. So please, just stop making people paranoide about everything they eat or drink!! – NM


Yours is a very credible site that my students will enjoy – GL


You have clearly nailed your colours to the mast, and objectivity is not amongst them – BB


I just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed reading through your site. It’s nice to find a site well laid out and with no misspellings! You have a lot of useful information and a very logical mind. I especially liked your article on Bike helmets. The other articles kept my attention for over an hour! Nice stuff! – KS


Basically i think you suck ass, why? because u hold some grudge against the coke company probably cause you ran out of coke at your house. ur making up this bullshit about coke being bad for your and having to much sugar in it so people will stop buying it so you can have all the coke for yourself. well im not falling for it! im going to buy as much coke as i can just to make you suffer asshole! oh yea, and ill be thinking of you when im guzzuling down my next fridgepack loser – BC


The U.S.A have also released GE Microbes on Mars the evil Nazi Bastards! – AH


One mustn’t break rules or attempt to trick Google, lest they awaken the almighty search engine gods and be struck down by their wrath – JP


I hope you haven`t been rendering inedible perfectly good vegetables – GE


your right, it is a good idea to drink soda. oh yea and how could i not i mean if i bring my empty coke can to six flags its buy one ticket get one free so holy shit, drink coke= ride sweet coasters. sweet! – BC


Please let me know how you get your website within the top 5 rankings on www.google.com it is very vital that my website will be in the top 5 and so far my Organisation has limited funds which are all my own, it will be unlikely i get a grant or any financial help from anyone in time – AH

To me you sound like every other conspiracy theorist I’ve ever heard, in that you will utterly dismiss huge swathes of evidence and credible scientific input because it doesn’t suit your paranoid worldview.

I think it’s just as preposterous that you would think that a bunch of internet gossip contradicts the mass of evidence that the events of 9/11 actually happened – OB


As a general physician, I am highly concerned about the rampant use of coke and pepsi products for a simple reason: pH.

The blood must “religiously” maintains a basic pH of 7.35-7.45. Since a blood pH of less than 7.2 can result in death by cardiac arrest or metabolic acidosis, the body essentially “robs Peter to pay Paul” to ensure the blood pH remains within strict limits.

Since the pH scale is logarithmic, the pH of coke (about 3.4) is TEN THOUSAND times (10 to the 4th power) more acidic than the normal blood pH of about 7.4. Studies have shown that these acidic drinks increase the urinary excretion of calcium; it only makes simple sense that the source of this calcium is from bone since an increased level of calcium, absorbed from the bones, helps to buffer the pH of the blood to maintain that life-promoting pH of about 7.4.

Bottom line? Coke is hazardous to your health — no bones about it – AK


Hello, Im from the Society For The Preservation of Mexico’s Premium Nature Resource, The Spotted Back Spinc Mule. In the past SFTPoMPNR,TSBSM has campaigned for open trail use to all spotted back mules, or as we like to call them in the trade, SPHINCTERS. The SPHINCTERS get a hard time in their natural habitat of lower south west Mexico where Donkey stable boys often ritualistical sodomize them and tickle them with their engorged tadgers.


Please support our Ideals and get open trail use for the SPHINCTERS on all Mountain Pass’s Hill’s and City Streets, through your help only, you can aid in the preservation of the dirty smelly spinc mule and continue the legacy of love for the Mexican way of life. Thank you goodnight we love you all – EP

HITS ARE STRANGE

I know I keep going on about this, but hits these days are really strange...

On this blog the hit count for most of 2024 was only about 100 - 200 a day.

Then in 2025 it started climbing and by the end of the year it was up to about 1000 a day.

And here at the beginning of 2026 it took off like an imaginary moon rocket and was racking up over 2000 hits a day, sometimes over 3000. Holy cow, I'm an influencer again my ego screamed triumphantly!
 

Something I've noticed before is that when I do less posts I get more hits, and when I do more posts the hits drop. Odd...

It doesn't really matter, I only post this stuff for my own entertainment, I'm not trying to "monetize" anything, or even to expose any deep state agendas, because I've tried that already and it wasn't very effective.

This week my hits have suddenly dropped back again from over 2000 a day to less than 100. And a little voice in my head is asking "Is this proof that all my hits were either being made up by Google altogether, or are a result of AI bots crawling the web using algorithms?"

 
If the hits on this blog were a result of actual people visiting my blog, it's unlikely the hit-count would shoot up and down like that, as it's not like thousands of people are using Google to search for "strange little purple blogs posting all sorts of deranged crap".

If they were, Google could blacklist my blog and the hits would stop. That could certainly be done, but what were those 2000+ hits I was getting each day up until last week? If they were regular readers, or the result of traffic from links posted on other websites, then a Google blacklisting wouldn't affect them.

So I suspect that my 2000 hits a day were almost entirely imaginary, and what AI gives, AI can take away. Being a bit old school I sometimes struggle with this level of fakeness, but I need to remind myself of the following:

I write blog posts if and when I feel like, with no expectation of them making any difference to anything, or even being read by anyone.

MERRY NEW YEAR

A long standing tradition, that I've been doing since the dawn of time, is to do a blog post on the first day of each new year, usually called something like "NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS", in which I spell out my good intentions for the upcoming year.
 

I generally don't seem to end up doing many of them for very long, but at least I set out with some good intentions each year.

Here are my five resolutions for 2026 (five is always a good number for this sort of thing, simply because we have five toes on each foot):
 

 1. HEALTH

To focus firstly on my own health, by asking "Is this thought or action good for me?" And then to only do it if it is. I already eat pretty well and generally have fairly good habits, but the thing I think I really need to change is to shift towards a more positive focus. 

I'm sure Louise Hay would have recommended that!
 

2. PINE

To apply the acronym "PINE" to what I say and post online. Check that it's Positive, Inspiring, Necessary or Entertaining. So I'll be aiming to stop going on about conspiracies for at least the next year. I've been doing quite a lot of that for the past 25 years, and although I've mostly been right, it probably hasn't really achieved much. 

Here's an example: This year rather than saying Microsoft are evil, I'll try to help people who already know that to switch over to Linux.


3. STAY FOCUSED 

To limit my looking at crap online to under 15 minutes a day. 

I'm now using an extension on Brave called "StayFocusd" and the sites I've got it monitoring include Youtube, Bitchute, and Facebook, which are essentially the last three remaining social media sites I was still looking at in 2025. Now after 15 mins they are being blocked. 

Essentially I can choose whether to let a bunch of deep state programmers use their lame AI to fill my mind with crap, or to choose to come up with my own thoughts.

4. LAUGH

To laugh more. Things are way too dark, serious, and depressing in fudporn world. 

If one of my enlightened objectives is to make woketards heads explode, taking the piss out of the clueless fuckers is probably one of the best tactics we have. 

We can either laugh or cry, but laughing is more fun.
 

5. MOVE ON

To let go and move on. There are all sorts of things that are beyond my control, like everything in the past for example, but I've been like a dog that won't let go of it's stick. 

I want to direct my attention at the things that matter and ignore the stuff that doesn't. 

OK that is probably a bit ambitious I know, but I'll give it another crack this year.
