Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A bunch of the .edu ones are probably me.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

.edu could be me, too.

eta: Wait! Nope. Our domain is .org.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I, too, am likely an .edu

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am another .edu

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

(probably Liese and her spy fu)

Ha! You can see me! Woes!

Oh, wait, yeah, that's totally not me. Damn, I keep forgetting the thing about plausible deniability is that you have to actually deny when the question gets asked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You guys know I wasn't exactly being scientific, right?

If you want me to, I can bust out IP addresses and stalk you mofos, though.

That is some fascinating stuff (and I totally found myself (at least from home, not from phone/ipad/hotelrooms) on that IP log, since I think I'm most certainly the only person accessing from my particular internet provider). ...good god, considering how often I access via phone/ipad/hotel wifi, I'm probably right up there. Eek.

Are all those hits from other countries real people? Or bots?
