I’m constantly amazed at the wackadoo Google searches that bring people to my blog (today’s gems include Feet Fetish, Voodoo and Big Long Noses). What kind of nutbar Googles “orange cat lands on stomach” or “slutty cabin crew” and, more importantly, why are they brought to loridyan.com?

It got me wondering about my own Google searches. I work from home and spend a good deal of time waiting in line at grocery stores or the parking lot at my kids’ school, and I often Google random crap that pops in my head. I had a look at my recent searches and it turns out that, at first glance, I am queen of the wackadoo nutbars:

1) “oprah interview woman shot husband for cash”
Did you know Oprah has a radio station? Our new car comes with satellite radio and I obsessively sometimes listen to the rebroadcasts of her old TV shows. I find it fascinating to Google past guests to see how they’re doing today. Fun fact: I’ve been known to sit in the car in my driveway after buying groceries, listening to an entire show while the Serb folds laundry in the house.

2) “gregory brothers”
One of my online sisters-from-another-mister, the fabulous Colie, gave a shout out to this group on her blog. They’re pretty awesome.

3) “dip fish in milk”
Could this be a clue as to why my family won’t eat the dinners I cook them? #niceonenancydrew

4) “cpcrake botiquel”
I forgot to include a piece of my son’s favourite dessert in his lunch and wanted to make amends with an afterschool treat. Thankfully, my pal Google didn’t let my stubby typing fingers prevent me from finding a proper cupcake boutique.

Gratuitous cupcake porn.

5) “mama tooted”
The satellite radio also comes with a station for kids and this song is always playing. My daughter wanted to know the exact lyrics (which she has since taken to repeating at the top of her lungs to strangers while I sheepishly explain that it’s a song, not a play-by-play of my inner workings). Listen to the whole thing. I dare you not to giggle.

    I’m giggling. Thinking about your daughter shouting the lyrics brought back wonderful memories of my now-teenaged daughters needing to sing out to the world. Wish they still did that, even if it meant worrying if people thought I spent my day tooting. Also, I’m about to search for the gregory brothers on Youtube. They were awesome. Why wouldn’t your family love goldfish in milk for dinner and crapcakes from a boutique for dessert?

    • Lori Dyan says:

      Exactly! They should be lucky I’m feeding them at all and not sitting in the car parked in front of the house listening to Dr. Oz talk about my colon. Also, I will revel in their singing from this point forward :-)

    I’ve been known to sit in the car in the garage listening to something I got sucked into on the radio. (Old Oprah, Gayle King Show, NPR) We had three months of free satellite with our new car. We didn’t renew the service. After reading your post, I suppose Hubs wanted me in the house more than out of the house… I still get sucked into NPR sometimes :)

  • I’ve got to say, I think I’d prefer my daughter (who is 9) singing “Mama tooted” rather than the lyrics from her favorite Lady Antebellum song: “It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk and I NEED you now…”

    She sings that at the top of her lungs. Usually in a crowded Costco or TJ Maxx. FML.

    Off to download “Mama tooted” now. Perhaps that will save me the red face…

    And I’m totally with you: I’d ABSOLUTELY listen to the Law of Attraction dude in my garage. He’s (unintentionally) hysterical! :)

  • For 3 days I have been craving chocolate cake. good chocolate cake. And sadly to say, your cupcake porn kind of turned me on.

  • You crack me up. Love the texting. At least you didn’t drive into your garage…

    And the Serb cleans? Swoon.

  • John says:

    Funny, most of my oddball search requests come from requests about midget porn. Or underbra cleavage.

    Though I’m a stickler for NPR driveway moments, so I have a hard time blaming you for the Oprah thing.

  • Suniverse says:

    I get peeved when I see that the husband is sitting in the garage, listening to something, because why doesn’t he want to come in and see me after a long day apart?

    When I sit in the garage? Perfectly acceptable.

    I need to start singing out in public more. Thanks for the tunes.

  • Tonya says:

    LOVE it!!!

    From now on when the hubs texts me something he wants me to do I’m just going to respond: xoxo

  • I love that the Serb’s first text to you auto-corrected the name Lori to “mofo.”

    Because that was an auto-correct, right?

    Naturally.

    p.s. Yum, fishmilk!

  • Kara says:

    I know about wackadoodle google searches! A large number of my blog’s hits come from people googling “Scooby Doo Porno”. Yup. I once did a post about Velma Dinkley not being the goodie-goodie everything thinks she is, and now I’m very popular with the cartoon porn group. Go figure!

  • Alexandra says:

    This is what I love to do at least once a day: the google searches. Mine are just plain mean: Woman with saggy breasts, flat butt, Skillet butt, ugly woman, hag, haggy hands, old, old tired woman, boring, boring old tired woman….

  • Elena Aitken says:

    Fantastic.
    And dipping fish into milk??? umm…those are some tiny little fish…

  • Colie says:

    HOORAY! I got a shout out on your blog!! YAY ME! I feel famous.

    Best song ever, eh?

    My 4 year old and I sing it LOUD. It makes the 8 year old want to punch us.

    :)
