Thanks For The Memories, Google Auto Complete!

Before you look at the image below (I know it's too late, but just pretend you haven't looked yet... for me), let's jump in the wayback machine and visit my first blog post about the hours of fun to be had typing a simple adverb into the Google search bar and reading a list of questions Google think/s you MIGHT like to ask...

Today... while wondering how long after you lay turf you are allowed to treat it just like any other lawn (*makes devil horns with fingers*), I stumbled across this beauty:


Assuming that the questions that find their way into Google's 'auto complete' lists do so for popularity and not some other arbitrary reason (ie somebody's own amusment), it seems that people have a lot of questions about pregnancy, huh?  That and saying 'I love you' and filing for bankruptcy... FOR THE SECOND TIME!  Oh and the working out question?  Only a person dipping their toe into the world of exercise for the first time would ask a question like that so here's my answer to that: GET OFF GOOGLE AND DO A COUPLE MORE PUSH UPS, FATSO! 

Just in case you didn't do it earlier... follow the link to the devil horns.  It just may be the best thing about tonight's post.

And just in case you are one of my two newest readers, drawn into my blogweb with the promise of Judy Blumerama, I assure you regular programming will resume to shortly.

  1. OMG you mean ME! I am so CHUFFED! This is the highlight of my week... I was reading, laughing, reading, reading, doing the devil horns movement, reading, and then BINGO.I see a line that was intended for ME! Thank god I didn't speed read and then miss the best part, directed at ME. ME, and Kate as well but best of all ME, and you went home and wrote it last night and lucky I wanted to read the blog and fell head-first into the trap and then saw the bet line on the whole page. I am so excited. I need to go and pee. This is possibly the best blog ever. I will read and comment until this is so famous you won't even read my comments anymore, at which stage I will read and comment, then text you so you know I commented. wow. I love you Jessie. Good luck with the pregnancy test you legend. PS don't go to my blog. I haven't updated it for ages and it's not even funny. So go to it if you like but know I'm not competing with you in the funny stakes.

  2. I will never allow myself to get so big that i don't read your comments, Sal. And you can pretty much rest assured that you are going to get more more mentions with a reaction like that! Maybe I could even dedicate a post to aspects of you that I like... hmmm...
