i always get a kick out of seeing the search terms people used before landing on my blog. like i’ve said before, sometimes people get here through searching for something that they aren’t going to find here on Jesus Is Extravagant.

in my desire to be an all-around nice guy, i am trying to make amends to those people who find themselves here without discovering the objects of their googling.

so, today’s installment is ‘The Fifth Of September’…Who Are Those Guys?

i know my syntax is all broken down…but just play along.

for some reason i consistently get visits from people searching things like: ‘remember, remember, the fifth of september’

WHY DO PEOPLE SEARCH THAT?

those who are searching using this phrase are undoubtedly thinking of an atrocious movie whose tagline was reminiscent of that phrase. however, it wasn’t the 5th of september we are to remember, but the 5th of november that must be remembered (ugh…there were far too many rhymes in there).

thus, anyone searching for the 5th of september is bound to land in a place they don’t intend, like this blog.

but fear not! i am dedicated to helping you find more about the fifth of september, whether you wanted to end up on this silly blog or not.
