I wonder would that have been enough to get you to number one? I noticed something- yours is the only entry for “damien” on the first results page that does not have “damien” in the url.

One, it's been a very hard month organizing our autumn wine event, and I don't have a dog to kick, time for long runs or money for booze and it just came out. Two, I'm not sure there's any level at which conversations about 'language' can ever be held without making the participants hate each other, and besides I felt that Google's crassness ought to beget lots of new crassness. To show them the error of their ways. And the butterfly stamped... And three, I did it just on the infinitesimal off-chance Google might wish to make me desist with the fatuous parodies. We'd sell a few extra bottles that way. Thank you for introducing me to 'genericide' - great word. Hi Rob, it was meant to be awful – I certainly wasn’t trying to be clever.

I also googled my attic for a piece of jewellery, but sadly I aint found it yet. Mind you ‘Google’ is not a verb for searching ;-)
