Beerluck SEO Triumph

I am proud to announce that Beerluck.com has officially moved to the #1 organic ranking for the Google search query "beerluck."

That might seem trivial, but I assure you it took many months of passive existence to get this blog to the top. Now, if we could only boost interest in the beerluck phenomenon to generate more daily searches. To the beermobile, Robin!

Playpump Daddies & Bike Camping 2008

Featured contributor: Brown Bear.

I need to start this by thanking every one of the "wunderful" ladies
and the oh-so-amazing-yet-equally-ridiculous" gentlemen that made this
debacherous trip a success. A simple time line of events is the only
way to truly describe what we experienced. Please let me know if I
missed something b/c I probably did.

Overall lessons & comments

1. Cell phones are key to survival unless the batteries are dead or
you've got no service. Otherwise they are rendered useless.
2. The "Wunderful" ladies saved our lives and should always be appreciated.
3. The weekend trip was probably the best unplanned and ass backwards
trip i've ever done.

Sorry for the long post. Please respond with any details I may have
missed or you'd like more information on.

Cheers,
Brown Bear
