Paul flipped the calendar on to another month which means that it is time for another round up of internet searches. My long time readers of my daily drivel will know that I have a fascination with how folks arrive at my blog. Typepad has a neat feature that allows me to track how people arrive here. Lots of folks arrive here from my posts at the slowtravel website, others from links on friend's blogs, the rest through Internet searches.
Here is a list of some of the phrases that people typed into a search engine, pushed return, and ended up on this site in March. More often than not they were to leave disappointed because the blog didn't have what they were looking for. You have to admit - after 862 posts there are quite a few combinations of phrases here and google searches them all.
Here is a selection of the search phrases that people typed into google, pushed 'google search' and ended up here. Poor souls. Most were sadly disappointed.
slow aroused pork belly
Much of the joy of following those search is in the unfortunate typos. I think that this one is a classic. I assume that they meant to search for slow ROASTED pork belly however, in today's wild and crazy world, one never knows, does one!
harper photo toilet
There was a rash of Harper in the bathroom searches after Harper missed the G20 photo op because he was 'busy'. You know that the opposition will have some fun with this during the next election campaign. If they don't - I will!
Dollar General crocs
Most folks wouldn't find this amusing. I did because our wonderful friend Sandi actually gave us a pair of Dollar General crocs as a joke. Of course, Sandi had taken the 'shoes that will live in a landfill for 1,000,000 years' and painted them the colour ofthe Italian flag, thereby making them into super crocs!
identify parts of green pea
There are parts? Who knew? I would have guessed that the parts were pea - and no pea.
I wonder what teacher gave this as a grade 7 science activity? The poor kid certainly did NOT find the answer on the page about my delicious split pea soup.
celebrities with crazy eyes
Ohhhhh the list goes on and on. Phil Specter . . . oh, that's right. The mystery searcher was looking for a celebrity with crazy eyes. Looking for a true celebrity, whatever that is, narrows things considerably. Clearly Britney is cut out of the debate.
stake and gorgonzola butter
Obviously a Vampire hunter was hungry. Some garlic would be nice with that.
sculture mouth lost your hand if you are bad
Hmmmm - this one frightens me a tad. I don't want to hear anything about someone losing their hand. That just isn't fun at all.
in the 1800's the southerners attacking northerners
It is nice to know that the Civil War is still taught in today's classes. Well done!
SCOTTLAND WOMEN SINGS FOR SIMMON
Lots and lots of searches for Susan Boyle (bowl, boil, boyel . . .) after her appearance on Britain's Got Talent. Some wondered if she had cheated, some wondered if she was a man, others wanted her address or phone number. Were I Susan I would be a bit frightened.
Noticed how I ignored the spelling errors. This is what growth looks like.
Opps.
What kind of wine to drink with with In and Out Burger?
Someone after our friend Shannon's own heart! Shannon maintains it is a good Pinot or Cabfrom Paso Robles. Nothing else will do.
descriptive words, journey in sorority
Let's see - debase self to get in, learn to talk silly, discuss boys, dye hair blonde, get drunk, flirt a bit, skip class, call parents for cash, shop, gossip about history professor with the lazy eye, work for world peace . . . darn I got confused with the Miss. America pageant. Perhaps it is the same?
Bravo! I look forward to this post every month.
I love the sorority one and the vampire hunter. And LOL about the Civil War!

I don't know....I got a bad visual on the pork thing. I will probably have nightmares tonight.(shaking head)

I'm pretty sure that David, he who loves wine, would say that only a chocolate shake goes with an In & Out burger.

Wow, some of your searchers are getting mighty weird! Who are these people????
Still, love the pork bellies, vampires and sorority searches.

The civil war one really smused me too - I just though 'huh?'
Kedndall - I'm sure a bottle or two of vino would assist with that!
Marcia - he'd get an argument from Shannon!
One wonderswho the weirdos are - and how they always seem to end up at my blog! Bless their perverted wee hearts!
