For those of you not familiar with how the whole blogging thing works, there’s a great feature on the blogging platform I use that allows you to see what search terms people have used to arrive at your blog. This feature has provided me with quite a bit of laughter, as well as confusion.
Most of the search terms used are perfectly normal and reference the name of my blog or a phrase used in one of my posts. However, from time to time, a search term will pop up that causes me to wonder 1) why someone would search for such a thing and/or 2) why someone’s search for such a thing would lead them to my blog.
Below is a list of my favorite search terms used since I started the blog. In this post, “favorite” is not necessarily a good thing; it can mean funniest, strangest or scariest.
For the record, these terms are verbatim. I have to protect my spelling reputation here.
“sumoworstelen kind”- I assume you mean “sumo wrestling kind?” I still don’t know what that means.
“pogo stick disasters”- Umm…ouch.
“double chin blowing in the wind”- Is this actually possible?
“sumo sex”- Is this actually possible?
“all the time in footed pajamas”- No, not all the time.
“blonde sumo”- I didn’t know this existed.
“fat black sumo wrestler”- The word “fat” seems a bit redundant when talking about sumo wrestlers. Am I wrong?
“forced headshaving”- Well, that’s no fun.
“when i was 10 my babysitter and her girlfriend put diapers plastic pants on me before bed”- I’m sure they had good reason.
“forged chin baby”- I have a name.
“helmet woman”- I’ll take that as a compliment.
“old people can’t understand facebook”- I never said that.
“putting creatine in wife’s food to fatten her”- This is almost worse than putting arsenic in your wife’s food. The movie Mean Girls comes to mind.
“nanny pot”- I assume you mean “neti pot?”
“why is dr orden so orange looking”- That’s what I’d like to know.
“sumo fancy dress”- Must be quite a dress. Wait, are there female sumo wrestlers?
“carly todos los fakes”- Muy divertido.
“gurl friend hidden nude by boy friend”- Should I call the police or something?
“familial nudism infantile”- ???
“перелом носа”- I translated this. It means “broken nose” in Russian. Hello Russians!
“who is that annoying ridiculousness girl”- Should I take this personally? I’m really hoping this is referring to that MTV show called “Ridiculousness.”
“best time for normal single man to shop at walmart store #0975″- Never.
To those who used these search terms- thanks for the entertainment. To those who didn’t know your search terms are viewable- you may want to search with caution from now on.
This was great! I enjoyed your commentary following the odd search term. What’s with all the sumo wrestling terms?
I wrote a post about how I was an obese baby. I added a picture of a baby that looks like a sumo wrestler. I had no idea people were so interested in them though.
I wish I had search terms in Russian. Does this indicate that you’re cooler than me and cater to a wider audience?
Oh absolutely to both.
I think all you have to do to attract foreign readers is thrown a few non-English words into your posts.
Challenge accepted. I’m going to pepper my first post of 2012 with Spanish, Italian and a bit of Russian.
Wha-how-seriousl-Double chin blowing in the wind???? O_o
Funny list! I’ve gotten “Grandma porn” as a search, and one of the most popular is “Silhouette couples”. Huh?
No sumo wrestlers though. Don’t want to move in on your turf.

People are so weird. Hopefully when they search for these things they’re just doing research. That’s what I tell myself anyway.
Excellent search terms.
But do you get the comments to match?
I am to thank you for the posts which I am found from Googling. Truly, you are authority on these and raising mind questions most excellently in me. I am giving to this all my friends they can be learned too on these.
HAHA!! That’s great. I haven’t read my spam comments before but now I’m gonna start.
I must have missed the sumo post. I’m assuming there is one, you know, since all the summo searches led to your blog. Otherwise, that’s just weird. I’ve gotten a few chuckles out of the search terms that brought people to my blog too. What in the world are people doing at their computers that they’re searching for such strange things?! And the spam comments. . . oh wow, don’t even get me started!
Yes, I wrote a post called “What a Baby!” where I used the term sumo and inserted a picture of a baby that looked like a sumo wrestler. Apparently the word “sumo” is all the rage right now.
