An Introduction to the Google-age (for Newbies)

I've noticed some new visitors over the last few weeks (Hi, Smart Gurl! Hi, Yuriko! Hi, Hanlie! Hi, other new folks! You should say hello!). For the sake of these newbies - and anyone with a short memory span - I'll explain a bit about the tradition of the Sunday Google-age.

(What? It's not Sunday? No, you must be mistaken. Seriously. Ignore that date up there.)

So, imagine this: You're sitting around one day, and you decide you'd love to read about Amish sluts. Because really? Who wouldn't? So you head to the laptop and the good ol' reliable Google and type in "amish sluts" to see what pops up. If you click on that second link, you'll head to my blog.

But you already knew all that, right?

Well, here's something maybe you didn't know: Once you click on my link from a Google search, your search goes into my statistics. My statistics compile a list of these searches - aka "referrals" - and I can look at them. And let me tell you, when I read this list, I wonder - often - about the state of humanity today.

So every Sunday (or thereabouts), I share some of these interesting searches with you all, my lovely readers. For past Sunday Google-ages, click on the Metadata label. Oh, and if you don't already, you should start keeping track of your own stats. Because they can be seriously hysterical at times.


My Unique Brand of Humor

shakespeare fart quote - I'm sure there are many. Shakespeare appreciated bawdy humor as well as anyone. And really? Fart jokes are classics.

male teachers tampons - I admit it: The combination of men and tampons is always funny to me. Don't know why.

funny handy tips - Ha! If you don't get this, think about other possible meanings for "handy." Like, noun meanings.

accidental boob graze - An accidental boob graze is definitely funny in many situations. A purposeful boob graze? Not so much.

spanky's mother undressed - Spanky's a funny name.

dramatic rodent pictures - Okay, this might only be funny to me because I'm reading this and thinking, "You're a feisty rodent!" If you don't get that, you are SO missing out.

FUNNY PICTURES ON PREPOSITIONS - This is funny because they used the wrong preposition! There can't be pictures ON the prepositions! They must have meant OF prepositions. Ha!

grope box - This is simultaneously funny and very, very disturbing.

God bless the winded road that led me to you - This is funnier when you try to imagine what a road would look like if it were winded. Regular sprints would improve the road's lung capacity, and then it wouldn't get winded so quickly.

fell in hole at my apartment complex - What can I say? I laugh at other peoples' misfortunes.

I'm Insulted!

smelling and nasty feet (pictures - Okay, I may not have explicitly attractive feet, but I wouldn't call them nasty either.

fat failure - You were looking for a fat failure and you found me? I resent that.

has sniffed shoes of schoolgirls - I have NOT!

lousy poetry - Hey! My poetry's not that bad!

crazy into life - I suffer from depression; I wouldn't say I'm crazy.

SAD BUT TRUE - I'm slightly offended, but maybe that's not a bad tagline for this blog.

musty old person smelling house - I think both my roommate and I are insulted by this one.

rude birthday wish - There are no such things anywhere in this blog. I don't think.

vapid musings - I BEG your pardon?!

I'm Flattered!

deep thinking blog - Two Thinking Blogger awards certainly uphold this, and I'm honored people think of me that way.

tilf blog - Aw, shucks. You think I'm a TILF? That's flattering. Unless you're actually a teenage boy. Then it's creepy.

sad but cute blog - I think I like this even better than "SAD BUT TRUE" as a tagline.

beautiful pictures of a light at the very end of a tunnel - I'm glad you liked it.

awesome meme - I'm blushing, really. Though if you truly want some awesome memes, check out the Meme Queen.

Lovely Ladies Pics Only - It's true, I only show pics of lovely ladies.

happy birthday to someone wonderful - Thanks! But my birthday was over a month ago.
