Must Remember to Clear Recent Search History at the End of the Day

Many people who have blogs and websites at some point delve into their log files and dredge up all the weird crap that people type into google which leads them to their site. Like “Some weirdo typed in ‘banana lesbian hobos’ and they got here! Isn’t that wierd and c-r-a-z-y?”

Yes, it is weird. And of course, c-r-a-z-y! And those entries are pretty funny, usually. The things people type into a browser field. Yeesh.

Personally, I get a fair number of searchers landing here at Ransom Note Typography HQ with the terms like “crazy eyes bad hair tuft” which leads people to these photos. Whatever. I’m not going to harp on the strange proclivities of the web surfing populace or why someone would purposefully search for “crazy eyes bad hair tuft” in the first place. We all know that people are strange beasts and perverted and most shouldn’t be allowed to touch computers, never long be allowed to post things on web sites.

No, what I’d like to share this morning is a day in the life of my own personal web searching history. Every term, lovingly saved by Google and coming to you straight outta Safari, kids!

And to be fair, yes, I probably shouldn’t be allowed to post to web sites, either. And I was only trying to get Courtney to give me Jen’s number. She could have been a LOT nicer before hanging up on me.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
