Hodge Podge, or What to Say to a Hot Mom in Her Used Lingerie with Obama’s Headshot Ironed On
There you go. Did that title get your attention?
By the way, you do realize that Thursday’s post is still open for answers and link love, right?
Semi-Comfortable Chair
I finally have a semi-comfortable chair. I’ve mentioned this problem previously, that of having an uncomfortable chair, and I’ve finally done something about it.
Many moons ago, I bought some foam to fix an older chair whose foam had hardened and turned to powder. I also had a smaller chair to which I wanted to add a new seat. I was going to use the remnants of the foam that were left over to adding padding to the chair I use at home when working on the computer.
A couple weeks ago, I decided to cut out the foam for the smaller chair. And, I did. I’ve been meaning to do something about the other chair too, but the foam is at home and the chair is at the office, and never the twain do meet. So, today I decided that sitting more comfortably was more a priority than fixing the old chair that hasn’t been in use anyway. I figured if I didn’t have enough foam left, I could always buy some at a later time. I proceeded to cut the foam for my current chair. After the fact, I realized that had I cut it a little differently, I could have made it twice the thickness. But, single-ply seems to be okay. I need to make a proper cushion of some sort for it; for now, I just have it placed under the existing cushion. And, that will bring me to Weird Thing About Me #3, for which you will have to wait until tomorrow.
At any rate, I now have a semi-comfortable chair, though I am beginning to think 2-ply would have been better.
Weird Ways People are Finding This Blog
“cybernetic transposition” - Already on page 5 of Google for this term that I mentioned in a blog post on Friday.
“weird ebay sellers” - Currently on page 1 in Google for this term. Maybe one day Jay Leno will spot me and I’ll be on TV.
“alien civilization ‘look like’” - Currently on page 1 of Google for this too. Apparently, when NASA is researching what alien civilizations might look like, they come here. Should I be worried?
“Search pictures of men in his underwear” - Page 1 of Google for this too, currently.
“pictures of men in their underwear” - Page 1 of Google for this too. I’m sensing a trend here. If I knew whether these were men or women doing the searches, maybe I could better target the audience of people seeking pictures of men in their underwear. I’m sure it doesn’t compare to the numbers of people looking for naked women or pictures of Victoria’s Secret models in their underwear.
“to set up e-commerce site, LLC or corp” - Finally, something normal! Too bad I’m not in the top 30 pages of Google for this. Someone must have been really desperate for this information!
“photos of attractive moms in underwear” - And now we’re back to page 1. What is up with people these days?
“things to achieve before 25” - Well, that’s just depressing. Page 1 though.
“photographs of men in their underwear” - Page 1 again. Some people sure are persistent.
“pictures of men in whitie tighties” - Page 1 again. Am I missing out on a market here?
“Babeness definition” - Wow. Page 1 and, currently, #1. And, no, I haven’t forgotten about your link love…
“strange things on ebay auction 2008” - Page 1 again. Hi Mr. Leno!
“kids in underware free fotos” - This is just so wrong. And learn to spell, perv! Page 1, by the way.
“underwear to make a guy look female” - Page 1, #1. Maybe it’s part of a “How to Get Beat Up in Bars” course.
“making money with public domain” - Hey, I hit page 1 in blog searches for this one. Finally, something useful!
“chick stuff is creepy” - Page 2. What kind of search is this anyway?
“strange ebay auctions” - Page 1. You see, this is why Jay Leno is so successful. Does he give up after one search? Of course not. Now, David Letterman, he’d surely quit after two searches, but Jay puts in the extra effort and goes for three.
“swirly circle header” - Apparently, I was on page 6, but don’t know where I am now, as it’s not page 6! Oh I moved up to page 4. That’s nice.
Oh, and you do of course realize that I really have no idea if Jay Leno is doing those eBay searches. Just made for good conversation, you know?
Busy Work
You know, traffic is low on the weekends. I suppose that makes it okay to post boring posts. No one will read them anyway. They’ll just look for Monday’s new post. Maybe I should move Success Saturday to a weekday.
Anyway, this weekend, besides making a semi-comfortable chair, I have…
- Started a mailing list for The Thrifty Entrepreneur dot Com. You can sign up in yesterday’s “Start Yourself a Mailing List!” post.
- Launched a new one page site: Find Wholesale Products Now dot Com. Might add more content later on. Not sure. I’ll see how it goes with it as is.
- Added a new post to The Thrifty Entrepreneur dot Com: “Saving Money Down the Road with the Right Business Name.”
- Started a Squidoo lens: “Running a Business on a Shoestring Budget.”
The Power of Dreams?
What is it with dreams and their capacity to unearth feelings you didn’t even think you had anymore? I’m not talking about dreams as in goals, but dreams as in those flights of fancy that happen whilst you are sleeping in deep REM sleep. No need to discuss the dream–no one will care anyway–but I had it early last week and it got me reflecting on years gone by throughout the week.
You know, I was supposed to be running for President this year? Seriously. That was the plan back in high school. I was supposed to have been rich by the end of the last century and this would be the year I’d be running for President. Frankly, I think I would have been able to beat Obama.
Anyway, I’ve come up with some ideas for how to publish my stories, like “Darnella.” Well, actually old ideas, but I don’t think they would have worked as well before as they might now. But, no idea when I’ll have a chance to give that a go, as I have other priorities that need to be taken care of first.
Well, that’s about all for now. Back to work…
Crazy how people get to a certain page … some poeple get to mine through Rolando!!
How you been? I know I have not been here to many times, but noticed you driving though.
BIG hello from Speedy in Minnesota. I’ll pop in more often
I see you everywhere! I don’t know if I first saw you through Rolando or Erina!
I’ve been fine. How about you? I pop in on your blog from time to time. Have I left a comment? I don’t remember. I tried to today, but it took me to Julia’s blog, whereupon I left a comment.
Look forward to seeing you more often!
ps … “great title” Ha haaa!!
Thanks! Of course, that’s what gets me into some of those strange Google searches.
Ok, one more comment …
I noticed your Email subscription widget from Feedburner, and decided to grab one myself. Thanks for the idea
That was one of Michael Kwan’s suggestion in his review of my blog a couple weeks ago. I went around looking for a WordPress plugin to do that, then I saw Feedburner offered it, so I went through it. So much easier!
Oh, and you’re welcome. Or maybe you should thank Michael Kwan.
“underwear to make a guy look female” and “strange ebay auctions” can all be had for one term…
“sissy panties”
Here’s aninteresting example- note I have never been on the dirty side of eBay this is from the regualr eBay site.

My husband blanched when he saw this listing- no honey I am not buying you these- it’s only research.
I know these things because I now sell vintage slips and vintage lingerie like baby dolls and such made by Artemis Gossard and Vanity Fair. I typically stay away from vintage panties and bras, because of the weirdness of the market and the touching of old dead panties.
I am not knocking men who want to wear girly drawers- it’s ok in my book, I just don’t want to visualize it nor be the supplier…. hee hee.
Oh, my. A NSFW warning would have been nice. Or maybe a Not Safe For Your Stomach After You’ve Just Eaten warning. NSFYSAYJE is a bit long though.
Wow. Sissy panties. Well, at least the seller has a 97.9% approval rating!
I have to say that I’ve never in my life seen this or even considered it to be something that anyone would want to wear. That is just strange.
I think men should wear those at the beach instead of Speedos- say at Lake Michigan… ha ha
Well, if that happens, I don’t think I ever want to move back to Michigan. Or to Wisconsin. Or Illinois or Indiana. Although, winters might be safer.
I have to commend you on the title of this post! Yes, it did get my attention! But that is a good thing, isn’t it?
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog, too!
Yes, must go with what works!
Thanks for stopping by here and commenting too!
That my friend is what we call NSFN
Not Safe For Nobody….
You can say that again!
Loved your search terms. Too funny. I’m glad you are getting yourself a more comfortable chair, and kudos for doing the work yourself. I am a firm believer in having a chair that fits you if you are going to be sitting in it for any lengths of time. I’m glad you are finding possible ways to publish your stories. I checked the link for the Darnella story tease and realized I had read it a long time ago. From what I can see, I definitely want to read more. Keep us posted!
I just stumbled this post and where it says other in the drop down menu- I put
“bizarre oddities”
your traffic for weird terms should spike shortly. I am hoping to throw off the guy who looks for Burt Ward nude on my site.
I’m placing my bet for the next strange eBay sales post. The term “sissy panties” will be in the top ten. I’ve got $0.00 riding on it. Keep up this weirdo keywording and you’ll end up with your very own stalker sooner or later. Cool!
