Strange searches

Friday, January 30th, 2009

SOMEONE came here having looked for the phrase below. After I laughed heartily I figured that I should try to answer their query.

I suppose you know your toddler is emo when they start writing poetry about not being understood, stamped on hearts and boredom; then you should probably be concerned. But then again I wouldn’t be too unduly worried because they’ll have grown out of it by the time they are potty trained. Hope that helps :)

Strange searches

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

I should probably do an update on the wacky, weird and wonderful not to mention strange searches that have brought visitors here.

Here’s one that caught my eye, and Red Mum is second in this particular google search.

big bloggs

In case you can’t read this it says ‘ginger women with big bloggs’.

Overheard in Dublin visitors

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

LISTENING to Ray Darcy on my way to work this morning, they had one of the creators of ‘Overheard in Dublin‘ site talking about the book they are publishing from contributions on the site.

From 9.45am onwards (roughly about the time of the interview) the amount of searches on google.ie for ‘overheard in Dublin’ leading people to here was startling. Just shows you, all those people in work listening to Ray and googling for the site because he was talking about it. Well thats my analysis of it, there are occasional visitors dropping by here (maybe three or four a week) after searching for that but not 40 in two hours.

Thanks Ray :)

Another post on strange searches

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

IN THE last week the top keyword search here has been regulation knickers with some 14 searches. No accounting for taste really! Of course the visitors have been drawn by something I wrote a year ago.

The Young Wan’s favourite phrase ‘my eyes have been replaced with muffins’ has also figured as has someone searching for ‘junior cert partys on the 15th Sep 2006 in Dublin’. I hope the searcher does well in the exam results tomorrow and has a good and safe night celebrating!

Other funny phrases include ‘lazy eye emo fringe’. I remember being a teenager myself and visiting Tawdrey (a regular visitor here) in hospital and being acousted by an old dear who kept telling me how lovely my hair was, how like Veronica Lake it was, but that I would give myself a lazy eye so I should clip it back. I think my response was probably something like ‘yeah yeah’.

One other bemusing search is ‘footballers shorts and knickers in soccer history’. Wow sounds fascinating to me. Do tell us more…

To the person searching the phrase ‘mum are weird’. Yes we are but we know grammar, mostly anyway. And to the person looking for ‘names to use as your Bebo name’ choose something not akin to you and safe.

And all that is only from the last week, there was also ‘the sesame street beetles’, ‘red dog hugh red muppet’, ‘I’m going to the zoo’, ‘maybe I am red’, ‘how to annoy mums’ (don’t tidy your room)

I should do a post sometime soon on the strangest searches since I have been tracking them.
