Our Referer\/Came-from statistics page is always leading us into distraction <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
of temptation.  Yesterday, it led us into some extra-legal bocce fun  Some-<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
body did a Google Blog Search for bocce<\/A>> and ended up at this website.  <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
We’re delighted to see, only four <\/FONT>months after declaring ourselves to be <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
bocce advocates<\/FONT><\/A>, that <\/FONT><\/FONT>the top three results came from f\/k\/a<\/EM>. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
<\/FONT> <\/DIV>
\n
As is our wont, we checked out some of the other results and want to <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
share with you some of our findings — which did not necessarily relate to <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
big balls and little balls.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
