For anyone who needs a good laugh, here’s the story of the attorney who sued himself!

Over at Dean’s World, Michael Demmons gives advice on getting a nice boost in traffic to a blog — he says that all you have to do is mention Mario Vasquez.

According to Michael, this has gotten him thousands of new visitors. I can’t compete with that, I’m afraid, but I’ve noticed an upswing in my traffic since I mentioned Warner Brothers’ plan to recreate Bugs Bunny and friends as the Lunatics on the WB. My current top 10 search strings:

• wb lunatics (39 hits using that string)
• lunatics wb (29)
• the lunatics wb (4)
• braxton teacher sex (2)
• kids wb lunatics (2)
• liability without fault (2)
• lunatics cartoon (2)
• new lunatics on the wb (2)
• richie robb (2)
• seventh circuit sperm oral sex (2)

I’m really surprised I didn’t get more hits off that last one (or the post before it, which mentioned sex toys), but I probably shouldn’t be. The competition for links in those topics is probably a lot fiercer than for the Lunatics (or even Mario Vasquez).

Anyway, it’s obvious that my search numbers aren’t as impressive as Michael’s. If we add all of those Lunatic numbers together, I still only get 78 hits from it (80 if you count the other listing further down the list). So, mentioning the Lunatics isn’t going to push you up into being an A-list blogger. Heck, it won’t even make you a B- or C- list blogger. If you’re like me, though, and you’d be content with just a handful of readers, mentioning the Lunatics travesty might just get you there.
