[...] been over at Jessica’s blog Racy Romance Reviews and I stumbled upon her post for google search terms and the mysterious question that crops up time and [...]

Though there are some that make me giggle outright: ‘”oksana chusovitina” lick’ (I have no idea!), “corpulent babies, armed with quivers and bows room” (from The Lost Duke of Wyndham), gym women pants wicking smelly (???)

Not sure what to say about the inexplicable fame of my tofurkey business… except check back in 2009 for my new high-fiber product, treebarkey.

I was wondering how long it would take you to fess up.

My absolute favorite has to be “I saw something nasty in the wood shed”, which is a line from a terrific movie, Cold Comfort Farm.

I love that someone’s searching for that! It’s actually in the book too, and equally creepy:

“I cannot bear it. There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort. You mustn’t go… none of you must go…. I shall go mad! I saw something nasty in the woodshed. Ah – ah – ah-”

Wait, wait, Jessica Rabbit is Roger Rabbit’s wife, right?

Yes, and that’s the only connection I can think of to this blog. I swear.

We get some of the most convoluted queries (once there was one that was something like: “the one book where the goblin kisses the princess and everything turns out happy in the end because the king says thank you and the unicorn jumps over the magic rainbow”). Truly bizarre.

See, now that’s what I mean. A perfectly awesome story … spoiled!

This is hilarious–Ana and I love looking at our stats and google search phrases. More often than not, there are a bunch of hilarious ones. I think one of the most popular google searches to our site is “Poison Ivy Adult Costume” (we had a poll once about regrettable superhero/villain costumes). Every day without fail. I never knew Poison Ivy costumes were in such high demand!

Another thing I’ve learned from stat trackers–some people have no idea how to use search engines. We get some of the most convoluted queries (once there was one that was something like: “the one book where the goblin kisses the princess and everything turns out happy in the end because the king says thank you and the unicorn jumps over the magic rainbow”). Truly bizarre.

The weirdest search term I used to get was “Anita Blake panties”]

Ewwwwwwww…would those be the panties her mother laid out for her? (Any Seinfeld fans?)

@ Christine:
That was a great concert review! And thanks!

BTW, you’ve got the coolest tag cloud I’ve ever seen!

Happy Hanukkah, Jessica!

But I’ve never been spoiled on a book through search terms. How odd.
