Early Warning:
Backyard Wrestling
Mix Fight Club with the WWF and you get... backyard wrestling. It's what happens when pro wrassling fans go out to their backyards, rig up a ring and then start, well, grappling. Home-grown heroes like El Pepe, Brickhouse Buckley and Pigsknuckle Pete fake it like the pros, and in the spirit of the video age they put it all on tape. There seems to be a loose confederation of backyard "leagues" -- for a taste of the action try Backyard National Wrestling or Vacaville Championship Wrestling.
Other search terms on the rise in the past few days...

| | | Asus | |
| What's up with hardware manufacturer Asus? We've seen a recent rush of searches on their name. |
| | | Becker | |
| Ted Danson's new show Becker seems to be grabbing attention. "Danson stars as John Becker, a dedicated and talented doctor with a gruff exterior" according to CBS. (When has the guy not had a gruff exterior?) |

Recent mystery terms pondered:
User boards points out that JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT is featured in the latest Maxim magazine -- giving her the same boost Melissa Joan Hart got last month. People seem to be reading Maxim, or at least looking at the pictures.
CHESTER: Could these searches be for snack mascot Chester Cheetah? So says user boards. If they are -- why?
DICE turns out to be the name of a high-tech careers site, www.dice.com. They've got a big ad campaign going, it seems. Thanks to reader boards for the tip.
Also, boards notes that VH1 had a "where is the big loser now?" show on Andrew Dice Clay last week.
