When Google’ing Goes Bad…

April 24, 2008 · Posted in Humor 

I decided to pull a FireMom and do one of those neat-o “I’m sorry you’ve found me” posts…because wow, I was looking today (for the first time in a while) and found a few that really made me laugh.

First, I must say, the Avocado Salad post I made a while back really seems to be a winner. That puppy is dragging in the traffic! So, if you’re here looking for the Avocado Tomato Salad post - Welcome! Thanks for stopping by!

Now, the oddballs. (By the way, Google has blocked me from searching for half an hour because my “queries look automated”).

I don’t know why someone would search for “Knee for Sale” - I suppose maybe they don’t know that buying body parts is illegal. Of course, if buying is illegal, then selling is too and I’ve offered my knee for sale…so…ya. Anyway - in India, that search lands me right up top, at number one. Here in the Good Ole U.S.A - I’m number three. Not bad really. Except, I guess these people didn’t find what they were looking for and for that, I’m sorry.

For “Living in the desert” downside, I’m number 19. I’m not sure why someone would not only search for a possible downside to living in the desert (is it no common sense?) - but what confuses me more than that, is the fact that they went past page one, on to page two and all the way to the bottom - where PerpetualTomorrow.com is sitting pretty simply because I’ve used the words “living in the desert” and “downside” in the same post.

I’m sorry potential desert dweller, that I was unable to help you find the information you were looking for. For the trouble, I offer you this link: Desert Health Issues - all the information you might ever want to know about being a human in the desert. If that doesn’t strike your fancy, try doing a search for “desert landscaping” or something similar. Really, desert living is no different than say, urban living. Except, mostly the smog is less and the sun is more. The water is less (and by water, I mean rain, and generally any other type of water) but the bright side is, most yards don’t have grass…so you won’t miss it to much!

I hope I was able to help out our potential desert dweller - by offering up some great tips of living in the desert.

The downside part. It’s hot. Hot and sandy. Except during Monsoon season. Then it’s hot and muddy. Everywhere. Even on your car.

Finally, “Slightly damaged stuff for sale” must have been quite shocked when he got here and discovered that the only thing for sale is my knee…and it’s slightly damaged all right! I know people aren’t generally in the market for knees - especially ones that have been damaged by unknown forces. It’s a shame really, because I was sure that someone would want this thing - after all, someone bought the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese!

So, readers who found me on accident, I am sorry I couldn’t help. Stay tuned for the next addition of “What the heck is this crap!?”

Ciao

    LOL. I didn’t even know Google could ban you from searching. You must be special.
