ways to get a goggle tan

I'm trying to imagine the sort of person who would actually want a goggle tan. Like some twisted version of the scrawny kid who searches for "how to get big muscles".

Some of these are great. "are there mistresses in the men's house of yap?" just seems dada to me. "how to deal with pedophile thoughts"? Oh, the pathos! I doubt we helped much on that score. Now, on "assface wolfson," Unfogged may have been a useful resource.

That's hilarious. At least you guys don't get the people looking for ki/dd/ie pr0n the way I do. Or the "fuck my wife, please" kind of hits. Bleah.

Although I guess you will now! HA!

"Assface wolfson"? WTF? I'll just assume that was meant for some other wolfson.

And it appears that someone doesn't know that the correct plural of "clitoris" is "clitorides".

I'm just dreading the hits for "menstruation porn bukkkake" that we're going to start getting thanks to this comment and the conversation that ensued. Thanks, Kotsko!

I had a commenter at apostropher once who went by "The Clitorious R.I.C." I get at least a few hits every month for variations on "how to find a clitorious."

I'm assuming I must have told that story here previously.

If "clitoris" were a Latin adjective/adverb, the comparative adverb would be "clitorius", I think.

Clitore, clitorius, clitorissime.

This may not be true.

MMGood, if I parse your comment correctly, Becks was correcting herself.

It's surprising that someone would be aware of the correct use of the possessive apostrophe on words ending with a siblant and yet be cluless as to nature and applicability of search engines.

Are there any words that end with a siblant that don't end with 's'? largesse? But you would never make that possessive. Lattice? "The lattice's weiner." Hmm. I wonder what the rule is here.

If it's a plural <s>, just an apostrophe. Otherwise, <'s>. This person did it wrong.

I sometimes have trouble connecting to gmail - like now, apparently. It's like they keep moving something my e-mail client is looking for. But I usually get the stuff later, when I can connect. In any case, I'll check and respond shortly. Tomorrow at the latest.

I don't mind confessing complete technical ignorance. Is this a service provided website operators, or something you, or anyone, can get from google by following some process? And these actually represent actual search strings, so far as you know? I understand just putting keywords together, which seems to account for most of them, but still...

horizontal rule

I'll add something new for people to search for: "1st Annual 95th Anniversary of the Triangle Shirt Waist Company fire party." Which I was having tonight.

First and last, one assumes.

34 - There are a number of sites that offer free services to let you track the number of visitors to your web site, what sites are linking to you, etc. (I like StatCounter.) One of the things they will usually tell you are the keywords people typed into Google that led them to your site. That's what's listed in the post -- these are all actual search engine searches that led someone to Unfogged.

horizontal rule
38

Well, I tried out the first five. Unfogged was never the first hit in the list. Should you have been looking for any of those remarkable objects, other sites would have given you more satisfaction. If you just wanted to talk about them, however...

It is only a matter of time before someone does this replacing "ogged" with "Becks."

Last week I got a really sad referring term: "Picture of Jesus Christ that forgive my sexual sin." He was from the Phillipines. I kept imagining what the expression on Christ's face would have to be, or if it would have a caption, or if it has to come in a talking frame.

You should take enormous solace in the fact that they spent this week googling you, instead of America.

horizontal rule

36: Likely.

45: 133t bra size? that's really a search? I honestly can't figure out what they're looking for, and not because I don't know what 133t means.

By the way -- I don't generally look too closely at my search engine referrals except when something pops out as interesting, like say "blog fish education" -- but I occasionally notice I am getting a referral from like page 50 or 100 of a Google results set. Why would that happen? Is there some kind of robot that follows popular Google search results?

If Borges were writing today, would one of his ficciones concern Guillermo Pasacràn, a young marketing analyst who becomes obsessed with documenting all 2M hits for mute passing?

jesus. One of my coworkers died over the weekend. No one knows why. I talked to her just last week. She gave me a flyer for a political performance.

Wow. Sorry.

She was in her thirties.

horizontal rule
71

I'm sorry to hear that, Tia.

horizontal rule
72

Oh dear.

What a rotten thing to be confronted with on a Monday, I am sorry for you, and for her friends and family.

horizontal rule
73

Do you expect you're going to find out? Sometimes this has happened to me, but no one among my coworkers has either had relevent facts or been someone I felt comfortable asking. On the other hand, when something bad has happened to me, a vast train of people I hardly speak to has felt free to ask me for the story, which I've felt obliged to tell because of the curtesy of the question and "works with" always seemed close enough to me to be entitled to an answer.

horizontal rule
74

I came in to work to discover that a sweet old man who I was very fond of, who lives in the housing complex I manage, died over the weekend. But he was 85.

horizontal rule
75

I'm sorry, ac. I wasn't close to this woman, but I did really like her. I think we'll probably find out, at least if they get the answer relatively quickly; I presume the family will be in contact to let us know about a memorial service, etc., so then maybe we'll find out how she died.

horizontal rule
76

I'm so sorry to hear that, Tia. Condolences to hear friends and family.

horizontal rule
77

Oh, it's all right. I didn't know him all that well. And it doesn't give you the same intimation of your own mortality when an old person dies.

Someone was just telling me that he basically stopped eating when his wife died last year.

horizontal rule
78

Sorry to hear that Tia (and ac, proportionately less so).

horizontal rule
79

(that is, I'm also sorry, but... oh hell, you can work out the math)

horizontal rule
80

It wouldn't be age that would bother me, but the I might ever get to a place where I would stop eating.

horizontal rule
81

My grandad died a couple of years ago basically by not eating. I'm very grateful to the staff at the hospital he finally checked himself into that they didn't take heroic measures to keep alive a 92 year-old man who was tired of living.

horizontal rule
82

Well, not eating is different for the very old. When you're ready to die, you feel less hungry; at least that's my understanding. That's one reason why refusing food is a common way for old people to hasten their death--it's not as hard as it would be for us.

horizontal rule
83

Disturbing thought, isn't it. I get worried when young, healthy people casual mention that they forgot to eat: How is that possible? Forget? To eat? Occasionally I forget to focus on meals, but all that means is that I'll be sitting somewhere, realize that I'm chewing, and wonder where the sandwich I'm eating came from.

And Tia, sorry about your co-worker. It is awfully disturbing when a young person dies, isn't it, even if you weren't close.

horizontal rule
84

It is awfully disturbing when a young person dies, isn't it, even if you weren't close.

It sure is. I had more or less the same experience last year (two years ago?), coming in on a Monday to find out a young coworker had died suddenly during the weekend. The whole office was thrown for a couple of days.

horizontal rule
85

Regarding the less serious topic of the post - does it count in the referer log if you have to use "Unfogged" to get from the google search to the Unfogged? Or, more generally, do the connections to Unfogged have to be honest attempts to find information; do the results of gaming not count?

horizontal rule
86

85 -- your question makes some weird assumptions about the meanings of "count" and "not count".

horizontal rule
87

83: It's pretty easy to forget to take a break if you are busy on a project. I've forgotten more than one lunch that way: but it's more like: `i should get some lunch. (looks at time), or make that dinner. whups.'

horizontal rule
88

Unfogged is the 6th result when you google "cock jokes". I think that's a commendably strong showing.

(I'm somehow developing ahabot of commenting on all every thread three days too late. Oh well. I guess I've just been too busy. Don't worry, I'll head to the meetup in NYC in three weeks.)

The typo in 89 was not intentional, but since it's sort of ironically funny, I'm going to pretend like I did it on purpose.
