I know, Dave. I was referring to thinking up the solution, not the technical part of it. I mean that I wouldn’t have thought of it if you hadn’t mentioned it, even though I knew in the dark recesses of my mind that Apache can do this.

It wasn’t that big of a thing, technically. I just added these lines to the .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} new.*orleans.*joke [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} joke.*new.*orleans [NC]
RewriteRule ^.* http://www.redcross.org/ [L,R]

It’s not perfect, but it seems to get most of them.

Dave:

I join in expression of kudos.

I’ll also point out that you’re #1 in Google searches for “time wasting ass clown”, and #2 for “Grumpy Dickhead”. Mike got #1 in the latter. The same results obtain on Yahoo! search; and thanks to the wonderful twingine.com, I could search both engines for a phrase simultaneously. These are the important things.
