An Open Letter to the Department of Homeland Security
Dear Sirs/Mesdames,Allow me to first state that this is the most embarrassing letter I’ve ever written, but please bear with me -- if there is any significance to this whatsoever, it will be worth all the humiliation in the world
I have a question pertaining to terrorists and how they communicate via the Internet: Is it possible for terrorists to relay information to others of their ilk, information that would be invisible to the casual reader, through someone else’s web page?
I ask this (and please forgive my ignorance -- I know next to nothing about how web pages are built or how computers work beyond the basics) because, beginning in May, 2005, my blog has received many, many visitors from Iran, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, England, the U.S. and elsewhere via Google or Yahoo engines, as well as no referring link, all searching for the same word, “pudendum.” You see, I wrote a post on April 12, 2005 that included that word, a humorously lame post relating to Fox's highly-rated reality program, American Idol. At the end of my post, I wrote: “As predicted by Nostradamus, a wicked green-eyed woman has spoken of lust, reality television and gigantic pudendum in the year of our lord, 2005 A.D. The great fires should arrive within the next seven weeks. Take heed, brothers and sisters. Take heed."
If I weren’t so level-headed, I might believe that my post is part of an evil terrorist recruitment campaign, but as you can clearly see, I am quite level in the head.
Thing is, in May 2005, I began to notice hordes of hits from the Middle East and England, just dozens of hits, many of them repeat visitors who had apparently bookmarked that page but who do not visit other pages on my blog, then, by the end of June, beginning of July (not clear as to the exact date), they just…stopped -- until the last week of November, and continuing into this month. Again, my blog is being inundated with hits from the above mentioned countries, although now there are more hits from the U.S. than ever before. I began copying and pasting the IP addresses and other information about two days after the influx started, and have them saved in Word, but gave up after the ten millionth pudendum hunter. (Okay, maybe not ten millionth, but there's way too many to keep up with.)
Why would this be? “Pudendum” is not a commonly used word, for sure, especially in pornography where, excuse my language, “pussy,” “muff,” and “beaver” are the terms of choice, and I hardly think that my ridiculous post about American Idol would cause people to come in droves for the hilarity of it all. And why the bursts of activity? Why from mainly Middle Eastern countries? I feel something’s amiss here. Something bad. Considering the last influx of hits ended around the time of the London bombings (when many of the pudendum hits came from England), and now the current influx coming on the heels of whatshisname’s videotaped threats, I’m sure you can understand my concern.
I truly beg your pardon if I seem like a wacko with an overactive imagination, or if I have wasted your time, but I’ve been agonizing over this letter for a couple for weeks now, and finally decided that my embarrassment is a small price to pay if it helps in any way.
God bless the U.S.A.!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Lori Young

I have to admit; frankly, I have no idea. Seems scary though.
It's a conspiracy, I tell you! A CONSPIRACY!!!
It may be, Alice. I'm totally not liking the scary clicks and beeps I've been hearing on my phone line lately, which have intensified since I posted this letter.
If I am under surveillance, I hope those folks realize by now that I would never, ever knowingly aid terrorist activity, and that I had absolutely nothing to do with the incident last year involving a fiery bag of dog poo and old Mr. Wilson from across the street.
Durka durka.
I'm sure they have.
Thanks for leaving a comment on my Blog (that makes FOUR people, guys!) - I've posted about it.
...You know. Coz I'm sad and all...
Anyway, take a look.
- No pressure.
- Honest.
- Though it would be nice.
- But still. No pressure...
Oh, and Bill?
Possibly being dense (...Oh, alright, probably then. Look, do we have to be pedantic??) but what is 'Durka durka'??
Just wondering.
Alice, just ignore Bill. He's a bit...off. ;-)
Bill, btw, I received one of the cont. copies. Note that I wrote "one."
a conspiracy indeed. a frightening one. and very very odd. pudendum? so odd! it's some terrorist code word. they are waiting for further instruction. tell them to jump off a really high bridge!
I think the fascination with Ms. Lori's pudendum is entirely normal. I, myself, am somewhat fascinated with Ms. Lori's pudendum. I would love to know more about Ms. Lori's pudendum. Ms. Lori's pudendum is certainly high on my list.
MS. LORI'S PUDENDUM REIGNS
they're coming to take you away, ha-ha.
Hi from Ann who found you through Alice. If Bill is indeed a little off, I'll check him out next. I have a chatty little blog (see link) and a politcal diatribe I share with another great-granny. isamericaburning.blogspot.com
I think I'm going to like your blog.
Meantime, I can be found at my usual Friday hangout, on the main street of town with my great-granddaughters and my little candle and peace sign.
They're coming for me next.
Honestyrain, I did as you suggested and put in subliminal messages that will make the terrorists feel compelled to put on silver g-strings and six-inch Jimmy Choos, then parade through the streets of Fallujah while shouting "We enjoy the pudendum! Long live the pudendum!"
Which leads me to Mr. "Anonymous," who is apparently already under my subliminal influence...
Welcome, Granny! Well, if they do take us away, I dearly hope that you and I will be sharing a cell.
But, G.Man, I thought you *loved* my pudendum. ***snort***
