The Florida lawyer, Lawrence Walters, believes that a look at Google Trends, sifted to represent searches made locally, can make his case.

Mr. Walters chose Pensacola because it is the only city in the court’s jurisdiction that is large enough to be singled out in the service’s data.

"We tried to come up with comparison search terms that would embody typical American values," Mr. Walters said. "What is more American than apple pie?” But according to the search service, he said, “people are at least as interested in group sex and orgies as they are in apple pie."

The Google service does, however, show the relative strength of many mainstream queries in Pensacola: "Nascar," "surfing" and "Nintendo" all beat "orgy."

Really. Raise your hand if you've played four-player Mario Kart. Okay. Raise your hand if you've played a four-player, uh, non-game. That's what I thought.

This should probably be a boilerplate that's bundled into every WoW subscription, so people know what they're getting into if nothing else. I haven't played for months, myself.

As time went on, we had more toys to play with. I even started to learn to make my own outfits to wear on our play-dates, just to keep things fresh. It was great! You remember, right? I'm sorry, though, but something along the way just started getting kind of weird.

I'd like to say, "it's not you, it's me", but honey, it's not. Your need to have more and more just got far too strange for me. Five-way was strange enough with everyone trying to figure out what they're supposed to do, but then it was all about the ten-way. And that was kind of invigorating, but, well, you know, ten people is hard to keep track of. It's hard to know who's doing what, but we all have to kind of stick together anyway. I thought I could leave it at that and get used to it, but it just wasn't enough for you, was it?

It's never enough, god damn it! I give and I give and I give! And what about MY needs?! Eliza Gauger
