Goofy Google Searches – part VII
Last month had a lot of repeat searches: “cheesy tots” was the big winner, followed closely by “Jolly Troll” and “Sonic locations in MN.” Here’s some new searches:
“The Thing”
Jason and I have a miniature figurine of The Thing. He is our unofficial travel mascot – despite his overall grumpy attitude – and he’s accompanied us to Mexico, Chicago and Las Vegas. Once we ease ourselves into the 21st century and buy a digital camera, you’ll see more of him. (His Vegas photos are still in the camera and that trip was 2 months ago.) You can see his previous adventures here.
“Diablo Cody autograph”
Diablo Cody is a local gal who used to be a stripper and wrote a book about it. Jason bought this book. Now Diablo is semi-famous and working on a movie based on one of her books.
“Squid Knit”
There’s a very cute squid hat knitting pattern out on the Internet, which I’m not going to link to, because the pattern makes absolutely NO SENSE. Someday, I will not only fulfill my promise to make one for a friend, but also I will share my clearly written and easily understandable pattern with the world.
“Gum with gel inside”
That would be Chewels, which is no longer made. However, I have found a decent enough substitute in a gum called Bubbaloo, which is made by Cadbury Adams. The flavor lasts about 27 seconds, but it makes excellent bubbles, which I like to blow when Jason’s arguing with me because it annoys him.
“Coworkers whispering at work”
Oh my god. I wish I had this problem. I work in a large open area called a bay, and people have decided that the area right next to this bay is the perfect spot to have meetings AT TOP VOLUME, punctuated with lots of HEARTY LAUGHTER. I am also right next to the kitchen (which is not enclosed), so I am subjected to constant MICROWAVING BEEPING and noisy FOOD CHEWERS and SILVERWARE DROPPERS and people who subsist on frozen water because they are endlessly filling large containers WITH HUNDREDS OF ICE CUBES.
