(I know what you're thinking..."Andy is going through a 'phase' that he'll probably grow out of and then he'll stop boring us with this junk.")
Hey y'all! Hugs, kisses, yada yada yada...
I had promised y'all a "Monster Post" on the wrongness of The Gooble today. But, I'm getting kinda skittish about it. So, this will not be it. Oooooohhhh just wait 'til I show y'all just completely how way wrong The Gooble is in my Monster Post...it's exciting! Trust me.
Now, don't get me wrong...I ain't afraid of The Gooble!!! (heck, I've been a married man for over 30 years now...not much scares me any more) But, ever since I became the self-appointed "The Wrongness of The Gooble Czar ™ ," some awfully strange things have been passing through Andy's Place...
I have already told y'all about how Andy's Place is #1 in The Gooble search terms for "don't trust China," "Midget Wrestling" images, "Prostitutes Monroe, LA," and "my son is a fat slob." Then there is "Andy's Place dog sex," and others I'd rather not mention.
I swear, you'd think that I own The Gooble!!! I had probably 200 visits yesterday from folks searching for Hanna Giles or James O'keefe photos (evidently, I put up a pretty good one way back).
(Editorial note) Andy's Place has also been the "go to" spot on the worldwide computer to find out whether Eli Manning is a Christian or not. If I'm lyin', I'm dyin', I get no less than 30 visits a day from people searching for "Is Eli Manning a Christian...or Eli Manning Christian...or Eli Manning interview is he a christian, etc." (You'd be surprised at how many people wonder about that). I started to just delete the post that draws all that attention from the Eli-curious, but decided to just go back in and post this at the top of it:
NOTE: THIS IS NOT REAL INFORMATION CONCERNING ELI MANNING! IF YOU ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHETHER ELI MANNING IS A CHRISTIAN OR NOT, PLEASE TRY OTHER SOURCES.Ya' see? I'm trying to be a good citizen of the worldwide computer, dangit!
THIS WAS A VERY LAME ATTEMPT AT HUMOR! GOOGLE SEARCH HAS LEAD YOU TO THE WRONG PLACE! AGAIN!
But now it seems that somebody at The Gooble has taken note of my criticism of the wrongness of their search results. And, they're fighting back.
So, the other day some poor soul searches for images of a "fat guy on vacation." Now, these things are not unusual around here. This is a very "image heavy" blog. About 90% of our visits come from image searches. And, I can live with that. I'm happy to be of service to the image seeking public.
So, I was pretty sure that I had MANY pictures of fat guys on vacation posted in the archives. But, what image did The Gooble send the searcher to? This 'un! This one right here...
(as always, click on an image to get it big enough to see)
Not big enough? Well, this is the image that drew the "fat guy on vacation" directions from The Gooble. It is in fact, the photo of a fat guy with an eternal big zit during all four years of high school.
Jeepers, that dude is ugly! Sigh.Yes, my friends, that sho' 'nuf is your gracious host here at Andy's Place. This was a photo taken by Dadman (our good buddy) in February of 1977, on a Delta flight from Shreveport to Washington, DC of a "fat guy"...
The Gooble is WRONG! AGAIN!
I was not "on vacation."
Me, and a couple of dozen of my classmates were en route to DC to save our beloved United States. Y'all just don't know how miserable your circumstances would have been here in the US had we not sacrificed to go straighten out all that junk up in DC back in '77.
Don't bother to thank us...
In conclusion: The Gooble is WRONG!
AGAIN!
And, if they don't quit picking on this fat guy, it ain't gonna be pretty for 'em.
Just sayin'...
This is good stuff! One of my favorite searches on my blog was "grouchy old bastards in Webster Parish". I immediately called my friend JS in Sibley to let him know someone was looking for him . . . .
ReplyDeleteNyuk! I got one the other day for "define negroid." It was an image search. The picture it lead them to was the online identifier photo of a buddy of mine in Mississippi...white guy. I had fun with that one.
ReplyDeleteHey... 1977 wasn't so bad, if you overlook Jimmuh. That was the last year of my second childhood (I initiated my mulligan marriage in '78) and I played it for ALL it was worth, and then some. A fine year, it was. But I'm glad you fixed something about it...
ReplyDeleteYeah Buck...us high school kids hit DC about three weeks after Jimmuh was sworn in. There was true gloomy, depression, and agony amongst us conservative type high schoolers.
ReplyDeleteWe went up there and made sure Jimmuh just stayed for one term. If we'd have known your second childhood was wrapping up, we'd have built a monument, or somethin'... ;)
