Is Google for Weirdos?

I love those tracker things for your blog.  I love that it tells me who's lurking (Kim W., you're busted) and who's finding the Duck and Wheel through Google Searches.  If I'm ever looking for a laugh, I just read those Google searches that bring them to the Duck and Wheel.

It's funny the images that bring folks here too. My number one is "hoopty"--my first car that seemed to live forever. Go ahead and Google image "hoopty"--I'll wait..................

See it?  It's the silver car in my mom's driveway.  Sheesh. Who would have thought that car would haunt me until eternity?  And who's Googling the word "hoopty" so darn much?  I don't think normal people actually use that term too often. Well, maybe if you're gangsta.

Anywho....

So yesterday's laugh was brought to you by the Google Image search, of all things:

"Lumpy thighs when sitting"

Really?! Really Google?  THAT is my identity out there in cyber-land?! She who has fat lumpy thighs?! And that is what makes you click on the photo and you follow it to my blog?? Really??! Like you actually WANT to see lumpy thighs when sitting and/or standing?? Them is some sick people, I'm thinking.

Sigh.  
And out of curiosity I typed in that phrase and searched Google Images to see what came up and brought some odd folks to the Duck and Wheel.  Three guesses what it is.  Go ahead, Google it. I'll wait.......................

Thank god, it's NOT me. Or my legs.  'Cuz I really do have lumpy thighs, but I didn't want the whole world to know me by THAT. Sheesh.  Just don't tell Hobbes that someone labeled him as having "lumpy thighs".

21st Century gratuitous time-sink: googling aimlessly.

Veronica Lee said...

My top search keyword is poisoned mice droppings in ramen! LOL!

Rebecca Mecomber said...

I haven't checked my Google keywords in so long! I'll have to do it. I've had some doozies in the past... can't remember what they were though!

Diana - FreeStyleMama said...

OMG~ That is so funny! I'm going to do some stat searches myself right now! (grrr...can't remember my pw!!)

DJ said...

Too funny! However you sitting in the giant chair made me laugh out loud first off!

Pricilla said...

You don't want to know what brings them to Pricilla's blog....it has to do with the boys

Mary Ann Tate said...

I get a lot of traffic because of my last name and combinations of same. Some of the tags are pretty strange...LOL Love the chair:)

Marg said...

You know you might have something that Google is for weirdos. Makes sense. When I have time I am going to google all that stuff. That picture of the chair is the best. Too funny. Thanks for the great laugh. Take care.

Daisy said...

I used to get a lot of searches for "Dirty Daisy." I guess I disappointed a lot of people, because I am not dirty.

I just checked my searches and here are some funny ones from today:

goat cat
what are cooties
real crazy faces
curly pyjamas blogs spot
a cat dressed up to go to a party

BeadedTail said...

That's pretty funny! I'll have to find this Google thing and see what brings people to my blog!

Ann said...

I just looked at mine and I don't have any interesting ones. Even my blog stats are boring :)

Sharkbytes (TM) said...

You've become positively petite! I've been found with some weird searches too... never thought of getting mileage out of them! Nice job, weirdo.

Ratty said...

I don't really get strange searches. I wish I would. It sounds so fun. My writing style must bore searchers.

Lin said...

Violet--But you can't see his under all that fur. Maybe I should get some stripey socks to hide my thighs.

Vanilla--I'm amazed at what folks are typing in Google. Are they really? or is that a scam? Seems too silly to be real, doesn't it?

Veronica Lee--Really??! Are folks really looking for that???!

Rebecca--I had to write this one down because it made me laugh so darn hard. I think this was my wackiest one yet.

Diana--It's funny and scary at the same time. I mean, do I really want lumpy thigh fans reading my blog?? EEEK!

DJ--Isn't that funny? The black seat on that thing was hotter than hell, so while I was smiling, my butt was FRYING!

Pricilla--oh my! Yeah, I don't have any searches like that!

Mary Ann--That chair was HOT. I think the seat was like 100 degrees--or it just felt like it. But it was worth it for the photo. :)

Marg--I think that is the only reason I have the stat meter--I don't really care how many people come here each day. It is hilarious some of the stuff people are searching. Scary too. That chair made me laugh too.

Daisy--Oh my! I always thought of you as a very clean kitty! :P And who doesn't know what cooties are???! Silly people.

Beaded Tail--You can see my tracker down on the left sidebar way at the bottom. It's pretty simple and I don't pay for all the extra stats. I get the free tracker and it tells me who comes and such. It's good for wacky stuff like this.

Ann--My stats are boring too. Summer has a way of doing that, right?

Sharkey--I don't typically write about the searches, but this one was too good to pass up. It made me crack up. Especially when it was Hobbes that showed up with the search!

Ratty--I don't ever recall ever writing about "lumpy thighs when sitting". Honestly. That's not something I care to share with folks. Maybe you can sneak in some odd words here and there and those magical people at Google can spice up your searches too!

Junk Drawer Kathy said...

Better "lumpy thighs" than "gymnastics crotch." Just sayin'. I get that a lot.

Lin said...

Kathy--OMG! What is THAT???! Don't make me have to Google that!

Snappy Di said...

This is simply too darned funny. I need to check and see what mine is.. HAH.. I'm almost afraid to know.. .:-)

Junk Drawer Kathy said...

I wrote about the time my body suit unsnapped itself at the crotch during my gymnastics class. I was 12 years old. I don't think I went back after that. Sure, I was wearing underwear, but once you reveal your crotch when you're not supposed to, there's really no going back. I also discuss a boob in that post.

Oh, hell. Here it is: Crotch and Boob

Duni said...

oh my goodness, this is so funny!
I need to get that tracker to find out who gets to my blog and how.
Haha, so funny!!!
