Google gags

July 21st, 2009 10:59:41 am pst by Sterling Camden

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Teeni is welcome to today’s inherent compliment.  Her periodic musings over the search terms that led to her site always give me a laugh or two, so I decided to try my hand at that genre as well:

crawdad of the apocalypse – If you’re talking about Cthulhu, I wouldn’t call him “crawdad” if I were you – after all, he’s a cephalopod not a crustacean.  Great name for a Heavy Metal Zydeco band, though.

how it works chip – it works me pretty hard, how does it work you?

naked emoticons – Come to think of it, I’ve never seen any clothed emoticons.   8O

batman expletives – Holy guano!

bear deterrent “dryer sheets” — I don’t know about you, but when faced with a bear I’d like something a little more substantial than a piece of Bounce with which to defend myself.

quips for old people – what, do they need to be extra loud?

metaphor sandwich – I’ll whip that right up, if I can still cut the mustard.

short quips for icons – hey, don’t make fun of them, they already have a reduced self-image.

ancient meme generator thou – archaic pronoun user thou.  And whom callest thou “ancient?”

programming punishment language lisp c – if you think Lisp and C are punishing, allow me to introduce you to metaprogramming in COBOL.

quips about toes – I’m stumped.

“read failure on internal hard drive” meaning – it means “if you don’t know what this means, then you probably don’t have a good backup either.”

weird chip – you’ve come to the right place!

Shutting Pandora’s box

July 15th, 2009 5:20:01 pm pst by Sterling Camden

I put up with having to click the “I’m still listening” button every hour or so.

I put up with the ads they started playing in between songs.

But today…

I’m done putting up, ‘cause they’re done putting out.

Back to KPLU, KKJZ or CDs for me.

UPDATE: Joseph reminded me about last.fm, which is apparently still free. I’m there!
