Thus the search words that just popped up in my regular review of my website’s performance on Google Analytics. At long last I realized what the search was about. I have been confused by “XXX” that pops up from time to time, but it is now clear that this string of characters has to do with pornography of some kind. For better or worse, just such a string occasionally appears in my writings in connection with the Roman numerals that I use in numbering my yearbooks. To me, “XXX” means “thirty,” but it apparently has an entirely different meaning to some stray visitors of my site. Whatever it is, I wish them better luck in their search. Still, it is a pleasure to know that the very title of this particular piece will bring me visitors in large numbers. Perhaps I have a small chance to entertain them for a brief while before they get tired of my writings. How about yoga, for example? Or enlightenment as its ultimate goal?

Addendum (December 11, 2016)

Clever this. From pornography to yoga in one fell swoop. I wonder how many men in search of the former ended up practicing the latter on account of this clever trick. The converts, as it were. After nearly six years, there must be quite a few of them, too. Right? Converts, my ass.
