disturbing trend
I've been noticing a disturbing trend on the referrer list on my stats
pages the past couple months. I guess this is a new way to generate
links from sites that list their referrers to porno sites.
Guess I'll have to see what I can do about that...
update:
I think I fixed it, so that it won't show the offensive stuff. I used this:webalizer -rshemale -rblack -rebony -rgay -rsex -rslut -rvirgin -rxxx -rcasino -rhound22 -rlesbian -rsan-fran.net -rtriconex -rwickedsearch.com -rsemenyak -rifxforum -relbe1.com -rtriplespace.com -rmyezsigma -ryellowpage.ws

action
What is action?
Go ahead, check out that link and come back. I'll wait.
That pretty much sums it up, right? Wrong. They forgot about the most important definition for action, one every gambler knows. Action, sometimes also called juice is that feeling you get when you risk something with the chance to win big. You don't even have to win, you're in it for the thrill, the juice, the action.
What is it? There's no doubt your conscious mind and your innermost emotions are all wrapped up in there, much like other major players in the human psyche like love and hate. Some might say it's pure greed, but most gamblers know they'll eventually lose more than they win, so that's not the entire story.
Action has crept from the once exclusive den of compulsive gamblers and into the hearts and minds of children in the form of trading cards. Where once the hobby was about having a complete set or even one's favorite cards, the new mindset is purely focused on collectible value. Price guides are required reading for any 6 year old kid buying Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, or whatever it's called this year. There's no doubt that it's a money-maker for me, but that doesn't mean I can't be intrigued by all the action going on...
