Search Terms for This Blog
I’ve seen posts like this at almost every blog I’ve encountered, so I have to do it as well: list a bunch of search terms that people have entered to find this blog. I’ve always found it highly amusing when I see others’ lists; I can just hope that you (yes, you the reader! I’m adressing you personally to make this post seem more friendly and directed at you) get a little smile from my own wee list.
Okay, I’ll start with mentioning that there are a lot of boring search terms like Ayn Rand, St Paul’s, media PC case and BlitzMax crack. That’s just not funny at all. I went for the truly weird ones, rather. Since I don’t know how to make WordPress do an inverted list I’ll just have to present the top ten in a normal order; please imagine that it’s a reversed top ten. Or preferably read it from the bottom!
- “Comma Games”
There’s just something inherently hilarious about the thought of a game about a comma – I can just imagine this little platform game with Colin the Comma. I don’t know why. I may have a comma fetish. Or maybe this search was somehow related to rations. (Ah-hah! I hope you’ve played Angband.) - “Thing Stuff Linguistics”
Again, this may be my weird sense of humour, but I really like this phrasing. “Like, stuff and, like, this linguistic theory and stuff?” Alternatively it might be an attempt at finding information about the use of the words stuff and thing, and how they’re multi-facetted tools in modern English. Or maybe not. - “Cynical Diagrams”
“Yes, sir, I thought I’d spice things up today for the board meeting. What? Why did I include that diagram showing my personal view of sales predictions for next year? Well, I just count on no-one buying the product. Screw marketing – we all know that they don’t know half of what we know that they don’t know.” - “Fucschia”
What the hell? I knew that that fucschia garden pic would come back to haunt me. I can’t even spell fucschia without looking it up. - “Gay Comics”
Why is this in the fifth place? Oh, come on… The word gay is always fun! It rhymes with yay! - “SONNEts Asshole”
Someone’s really really frustrated at his Shakespeare homework, methinks… - “Sonnets on Septeber 11th”
Okay, this is just weird. I wrote a song called The Ballad of the Twin Towers, but even I don’t write sonnets about topics like this. Note the misspelling; tragically enough, with all the dubious spellchecking on the net, one can probably find all kinds of stuff even if one misspells words. - “Alexander Dokumentov”
I think Mr. Dokumentov himself has left a comment in an old post of mine! So I guess that it really isn’t a pseudonym at all. Oh well, I still giggle when I think of my little footnote there: (seriously, that has to be a pseudonym! “I am Alexander Dokumentov – guru of manuals and specifications! Bow before me!”) - “Game Cracking Tutorials”
Whaaat? Okay, sure. I mentioned both cracks and tutorials in a post, but oughtn’t there be millions of pages showing up before mine? - “Use Cynical in a Sentence”
I like this. Some middle-school kid has gotten an assignment and looks it up on the net. What does he find? My site. Poor bastard.
