If you are vin diesel, CLICK HERE

June 20, 2008 – 6:00 am

For today, I thought we could play a little game where we laugh and marvel at the WEIRD STUFF PEOPLE SEARCH FOR that leads them to my blog (the vin diesel edition):

(I am not making these search queries up. They are REAL and actual searches, typos and all.)
“if you are vin diesel”
Click Here!

“pin in my mouth”
Pin head.

eco friendly way to kill spiders
Um… smash them?

help i have fly at my house
Hello… FLY SWATTER…

how do you make an egg laugh
Tell it a yoke?

funny things your husband says
How about, “I help with house work.” HA HA HA HA HA HA! Good one, honey!

i love gas-x!
ME TOO!!

And finally, the CLASSIC,
if you are vin diesel, yell veri loud

Now for some BUSINESS TYPE ITEMS:
I am (hopefully) going to be moving my site to Wordpress over the weekend, so you may experience some, err, downtime. Also it may look hideously ugly. Just so you know.
Secondly I am indefinitely suspending Make Me Laugh Monday based on the feedback that I’ve received. If you’re one of the people who regularly participates, don’t worry, I’m coming up with some other ways of sending you traffic.
Finally, Happy called again today… I just thought you should know. And no I’m NOT kidding. I had to use my no-nonsense MOM VOICE with him.
Have a great weekend! But not a happy one. Definitely not a happy one.

Make Me Laugh Monday

May 5, 2008 – 7:00 am

Google Analytics is one of my all-time favorite inventions. Right up there with blow-dryers and freezer waffles. Whenever I feel sort of blah I just log on to play a little game I like to call ‘what weird searches are leading people to my blog’?

I’m rarely disappointed.

First of all, it’s clear that I’m becoming the leading source of random banana information (or misinformation, actually) on the world wide web. And the stuff people want to know about bananas? It doesn’t give me much hope for the future of our species, to be honest.

And let me assure you, every single one of these search queries is totally real and NOT MADE UP. I copied them straight out of Google Analytics, misspellings and all.

10 things you want to know about banana
Fortunately, we have the google searches to answer this one…

are bananas hairy
No.

are bananas fattening
Like, how many bananas are we talking about eating here?

are bananas bad for your teeth
really? You’re worried about THAT? Get a life, seriously.

are brown spots on bananas contagious?
Yeah, I think so. I knew this lady who caught them and she turned spotted all over. Be afraid… be very afraid.

is it ok to rub banana on facial skin every day?
But WHY would you want to?

can you feed your tropical fish bananas
Ok, seriously, WHY?!

do bananas make you poop?
Let me give you the quickie primer on how the body works. You eat something; then you poop. Pretty simple, actually.

bananas make boobs big?
Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

how do they put stickers on bananas
Let’s see, how do I say this… they stick ‘em onto the banana. Next?

how do you know when bananas have gone bad
they shave stripes into their eyebrows, get a tattoo, and start carrying a gun.

bad things about being a banana
well, there’s the brown spots. And the being eaten. And the truth is, bananas get blamed for a whole lot of weird stuff. Take the following queries, for example.

banana causes double chins
no, eating too much causes double chins. I’m just saying…

do bananas cause gas
is there anything that DOESN’T cause gas? Or is that just my own personal problem?

banana beauty tips
Well, supposedly you rub them on your FACIAL SKIN. And they make your boobs big. But be careful of the brown spots… I hear they’re contagious.

good bananas gone bad
I’m thinking this is the next major Pixar film. Am I right?

things to make with old bananas
Honestly I can think of way more things NOT to make with old bananas.

Then there are the other non-banana but still really weird searches. I try to envision the people who type this stuff in and I just CAN’T. Take, for example…

what is that heavy feeling near my heart
mmm… gas?

you dont even know about jelly
aww! That’s just MEAN!

“giving him a piggyback ride”
“Sure you were”

hairy all over
I think you’re actually looking for my brother-in-law’s blog…

“nerves causes gas”
Everything. I’m telling you… everything causes gas!

have another banana
thanks, I think i will

best butt award
aw! That’s just sweet!

big butt award
Ok, Not Funny.

big butt blog
Hey! Stop it already!

big butt lover blog
Well, I guess if you’ve got it you’ve gotta learn to love it, right?

is your butt big or are you just fat
Does it matter, really?

    bump on actually eyeball what is it
    well my actually doctor tells me it’s a penguicula

    chicken poopy butt
    CJ? Is that you?

    cute names for penis
    I dunno… maybe ‘happy’ or ‘cuddles’? This one scares me just a little.

    gas-x where does the gas go
    The age-old question.

    how can you shrink your head size
    drugs?

    how do I get my five year old son to stop telling me no and running from me
    lady, if I knew the answer to this I’d be a very rich woman.

    how long dose a duck stay with its mom
    not that long. Duck parenting isn’t all its quacked up to be.

    how to tickle torture your husband
    Jay and I will get right to work researching this one.

    I dont know what the heck to do in a time like this it is very boring and i dont know what the answer is
    Hmmm… I don’t know… maybe GO TO BED?!?!?!

    i found a fly in my soup should i throw the soup away
    Let me think… YES. YES. YES YES YES YES YES!

    i love my donkey graphics
    don’t we all?

    is it ok to apply vinegar directly on lips?
    um, why? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

    ped egg cheese eat
    no. nonononono. no you DIDN’T.

    poopy but
    CJ?

    put friends face onto a squirrel photoshop
    now this sounds like a GREAT idea.


    See, wasn’t that fun?! (sorry Jay)

    Here’s the deal if you want to join in.
    Write about something funny. It can be an anecdote, a joke, a picture, or a link to something funny… whatever. This is a NO PRESSURE scenario. If it makes you chuckle, it’s good enough. I don’t mean to create a stressful IS IT FUNNY ENOUGH type situation, if you know what I’m sayin’. Anyone can participate.

    So you write the post. Then come and link it here so that we can all enjoy the funniness.

    If you participate, here’s the code to get the fabulous donkey graphic shown above;

    And I should think it goes without saying but JUST IN CASE… any links that don’t go to a Make Me Laugh post on your blog will be deleted, promptly.

    And one more thing… several of us read these entries with a child sitting in our lap. Please use an exclamation point at the beginning of your link title if it’s not suitable for young eyes. Happy Monday!

    If you’re reading this post in an email, you’ll have to click here to see my video and the other Make Me Laugh Monday entries.

    Bananas gone bad and other nonsensical topics

    January 28, 2008 – 8:02 am

    There are times when I sit down to write a blog post and my mind immediately empties of all but a subtle hum.

    Never mind that I had 101 topics at the tip of my tongue last time I was in the car. Or that I lay in bed awake last night thinking of THE ABSOLUTELY BEST AND MOST PERFECT POST EVER.

    Ideas vanish like snowflakes in the warm glow of my computer screen and I am left with a big fat nothing.

    This is why I love Google Analytics. After several minutes of desperately tapping my fingers on the keys and hoping that something will come, I start to find other ways to entertain myself. And what better than to explore the wild and wondrous ways that internet surfers happen onto this blog.

    Giggle with me, won’t you…

    I “heart” lard
    Dude, who doesn’t?

    how does gas-x work?
    I’ll try to put this in plain language that we all can understand. See, first you have gas… and then you don’t. Pretty slick, really.

    i want my head on someone else’s body
    hmm. Sounds like a personal problem.

    hot to photoshop your face
    first you’ll want to learn hot to spell.

    i don’t care i don’t even like jelly
    I think this would be a great name for a band. Or a blog. It is sort of a weird search term though, don’t you think?

    i trashed my living room with mud
    CJ? is that you?

    i will brush my teeth in just a few min. ok mom?
    ok, sweetie.

    i want to be a tollbooth attendant
    a person’s gotta have dreams. Dream on, little one, dream on.

    can i send an ambulance to someone’s house anonymously?
    I sooo want to hear the story behind this one.

    robot facial massager
    hmph. Sounds sort of terrifying, actually.

    air mattress blogs
    interesting. I’ve never considered this an air mattress blog… but then it is awfully full of hot air and on the puffy bouncy side. This could be a whole new genre for me!

    do ants like milk?
    seriously? you’re googling this? GO TO BED!

    Something I’ve learned since starting this blog is that a lot of people with some REALLY weird questions regarding bananas… questions that manifest in their google searches. Take these, for instance.

    bananas for cleaning teeth
    ewww!!! I don’t even want to know how your breath smells!

    bananas gone bad that have red inside
    throw them away. RIGHT NOW.

    i wonder what gases turn bananas bad
    From this day forward I’m going to start all my google searches with “i wonder.”

    jealous bananas

    ferocious bananas
    I’m guessing this and “jealous bananas” fall into the BANANAS GONE BAD category that we saw just a bit earlier…

    Then there’s your typical Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus marital type issues. I mean, who DOESN’T look for the answers to these questions on google?

    my child is always falling off the couch while my wife is home
    have you considered a nanny cam? or a new wife? or a japanese-style cushion-on-the-floor couch? or having your child wear a helmet?

    stressed because husband never helps with housework
    welcome to the club, ma’am, welcome to the club.

    “ice cold feet” + “husband”
    “kick him”

    best wife award html code
    aww, honey, you shouldn’t have!

    And finally there’s the question of the ages. The one that EVERYBODY wants to know.

    ARE BANANAS FATTENING???

    You tell me.
