Often I am startled to see just how people find their way to Possumblog, because anything with the name possum or blog in it doesn't seem like exactly the best way to find out much of anything. BUT, I suppose my carefully wrought reputation as a fount of all knowledge has grown over the years, so that now this humble site is even your source for crossword puzzle answers!
Sometime last night a person in California was searching for a ruler of the middle east + em*. Now, I don't know exactly how they got to Possumblog with that, seeing as how it's not even one of the returned results.
Maybe it was just fate.
In any event, it does appear the person was trying to complete a crossword puzzle, and so allow me to finish the result. A Middle Easter ruler beginning with "em" would be "Emo Phillips."
You're welcome!
Posted by Terry Oglesby at October 12, 2006 10:45 AMIt's fun to look up how folks find us. A few come my way via the name Alabama Kitchen Sink, and surprisingly only a few are actually looking for a kitchen sink. Lots of people are still looking up Montgomery's beleaguered school superintendent Carlinda Purcell even though she's been gone over a month. Someone last night typed in kitchen devil birmingham shops and got me. I still don't know for sure what that was all about. Maybe a Dirt Devil in B'ham? I might have some dirt; sorry no devil.
It's fun too when international visitors stop by, and I've become friends with some of them.
Anyway, I think you have a great blog to spend a few moments reading when I get the chance.

As for kitchen devils, they are related to Tasmanian devils.
