Purgatory With Pantagraphs

From the depths of commuter hell, comes Purgatory with Pentagraphs. These are the continuing stories of the brave souls who commute daily to Chicago on the South Shore electric train, and the muggles who are unfortunate enough to meet them.

Search ticker

Well since the Muggle ticker has gone cold lately at 4, I need something else to keep my interest. Last night I came up with the search ticker. This will track all of the ways that people find PWP through search engines, because frankly some of them are pretty damned funny.

As I posted earlier most of the hits come from people who either click through on a feedburner at Soxtalk.com, click on my blogger profile, or have the site bookmarked. Now some people have found Purgatory through plugging something into their MSN search engine. My wasteband challenged friends, the Gorditas, have been responsible for the most searches hitting here. 5 different searchs on "Gorditas" have landed an unsuspecting Taco Bell craver smack in the middle of fat people panting on the stairwell. One search result was from "grosser than gross", which is another result of the bowling ball shaped commuters. The most flattering search result was from "funniest commuter stories" where someone had linked up one of my stories as being fairly entertaining. The last result came from "lactivists", the anytime-anyplace, breast feeders.

So the total so far is 8 search hits, with the leader being the Gorditas by far. In the meantime, the purgatory will be open for business, and will be interpretted through the eyes of your faithful reporter, me.
