The one with the wacky search terms
2009 at 10am Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky
I’m saving my review and giveaway of The Man Who Loved Books Too Much for later this week, and I’ve had some adventures that have prevented me from having much reading time lately (more on that later), so let’s take a look at some of the funnier search terms that landed people around these parts.
Blutvergiftung tetanus: I have no idea what that is, but blutvergiftung appears to be a foreign word (German?) for tetanus/sepsis/something nasty. WebMD, people. ‘Nuff said.
Cheer spankies pics: Um, I’m really not sure why that brought you here. I’m not giving it away for free! A Google image search might be just what you need. Guess I should be glad they weren’t looking some something racier?
Stephenie Meyer is a dumbass. I’m not a fan, either, but I wouldn’t go that far. She’s probably a perfectly nice person…and, well, anyone who has made as much money as she has on books that are mediocre at best isn’t stupid.
Anus worms: Goodie! I wondered when this post would start bringing in the weirdos. [Variations on the theme that also showed up in recent search terms: "worms crawling out anus" (ewwww!) and "worms under abdominal skin" (ouch!)]
Do camels have two humps? Some of them do. Bactrian camels (I remember this because a B has two humps, also!) have two humps. See:
I just thought the second picture was funny. What do you suppose they’re doing?
Katniss for Halloween: Great idea! I didn’t find any pre-made costumes in a quick web search, but if you can make one, I’d love to see it.
Masturbation paragraph in part-time Indian: It totally cracked me up! Read an excerpt here. I especially like this part: “If there were a Professional Masturbators League, I’d get drafted number one and make millions of dollars.” My male friends attest that most 14-year-old boys feel this way.
Marmet: If you’re looking for information about the Lebowski-referenced fuzzy creature, you’re in the wrong place. (But here’s a picture because he’s cute.)
If you want to know about the beautiful town of Marmet, West Virginia, I can tell you this: They got toilets!
Well, at least I can enlighten you on the Blutvergiftung: it means blood poisoning in German. Does that make things better or worse?
Anna (from near the German border)
Hahaha, hilarious! Now I want to go check on my own blog.
Thanks, Anna!
Funny, all of the search terms that lead folks to mine are just book related. Sort of boring if you ask me.
The ‘spankie’ pic thing is pretty funny. I had to click on the link and then I was like, “Oh yeah! SPANKIES! I get it now.”
I love posts like this. I get some search terms that are a little offbeat but nothing that strange.
