@&#@('ING SEARCH PAGES!!!

I was on the computer tonite, trying to research the proper location and wear of the Presidential Fitness Badge for my Army PT uniform. I have maxxed out the PT test for something like 12 years in a row now, that's the basic requirement for wear of the Presidential Fitness Badge, I just never got around to putting it on my uniform. But I figured that I should considering we are going to be on an active duty post for three months soon, and in Iraq for 12 months following that.

Anyways, so I go to Yahoo and enter "Army Presidential Fitness Badge" into the search string, and EVERY DAMN HIT on the first page led me to another f'ing search site that was of NO help at all. I can't believe how bad it's gotten with those things, they have to be automated or something, to see someone looking for something they need information on and make it look like "oh, there it is" so you click on it and instead you find some unrelated shit page with your search 'string' added in.

Talk about frustrating. I see this happening more and more. I suppose that what happens is that for each hit to that site, someone is paying someone else 1 penny or so, and that if they can trick a thousand people a day to go to that site, that's 10 bucks a day for some loser somewhere. It's still really irritating. Sometimes it would be nice to just punch in a key code to send out a nice electromagnetic pulse to fry the hard drives of people that make shit software like that, oh, and of course, spam emailers, can't forget about frying them too.

Well, I'm off to Pensacola to be with the Mrs. for a week starting Wednesday. So I suppose that's a valid excuse to not be posting here, right? For once a valid excuse haha.
