Well, that’s the last time I go to Mount Gambier!

I would link to this story, but that would push its Google PageRank even higher. As it is, I’ve already had my place as the #1 result for “Ben Hourigan” usurped. Given that I tell people “if you’re not the top hit for your own name on Google, you don’t exist,” this provokes a minor existential crisis.

Honestly, what does a dead guy need to be #1 for?

To see what I’m talking about, copy and paste the URL below. Or Google “Ben Hourigan.”

(And yes, I know this is in poor taste.)
