Cyber squatting
Posted by jimApr 24
I always wished I’d thought to buy up a few choice domain names, like pizza.com or ford.com or some such before the, uh, corporate giants thought of doing it, but I also know many of them go ahead and buy up variations of their name to insulate themselves from less desirable businesses parking there (as in whitehouse.com, which is a porn site versus whitehouse.gov which isn’t) but it seems that google has bought up most of the variants you’d think of (and not think of), like google4kids, googleauction, googlerotic, gmailsucks, gmailblows, googlepoo, fuckengoogle, omgoogle, googleporn, sexogoogle and goooooooooooooooooogle but one of the most interesting ones they own is thesecretofburritos. What are they not telling us about the common burrito? Perhaps it’s not just a burrito after all.

Ironically, several years ago I had a jones to buy up the domain name “jimvoorhies.com.” If only I’d listened to my gut instinct! I’d be rich now, I tell ya, RICH!

Rich beyond your wildest dreams, Beale. Like hell.

and you’d be able to pay for all that training you need to be able to make less than me.
