Five Words, if Hyperlinked, I Will Always Click
It’s a mild form of Asperger’s syndrome unique to the folks who spend an inordinate amount of time trapped within the boundaries of their little zombie boxes. I’d be one of them. Here’s how it goes.
So I noticed this hyperlink in my RSS reader: Walt Whitman at Eye Level, and I click the link because it contains the words Walt Whitman.1 This being one of five hyperlinked phrases I always click regardless of the surrounding context. I’m sure if I banged my head on the wall a few others would pop out, but I’m not prepared to foist an exhaustive list on everyone.
The Five Golden Tickets
- Walt Whitman
- Porn Star
- fart
- free
- puppy
Porn Star, fart, and free label me as a crass, juvenile perv, which I am, but the inclusion of puppy and Walt Whitman induce an air of charming intellectualism so all in all I’m thinking this list doesn’t peg me as a total deviant.
And you know you got these triggers as well so go ahead and share in whatever fashion suits your mood.

See I think you may have improved on my invitation to share here Jeff, unless I’m mistaken. I was thinking more along the lines of legitimate phrases or words, but looks like you’ve included spam hyperlinks as well.
Of course I could be wrong, and these are legit. In any case, I adore the list. “Punch monkey and win” is a classic. Love it, and appreciate the hearty laugh.

Crap, I left out the simulated “Windows error dialog box” ads.
