Searchstring Friday

searchstrings9.27.07

I may just have to make an end-of-the-month habit of this. That is, if it proves of any entertainment and/or educational value. Behold, above, the search strings that brought various bedraggled souls, possibly even YOU, dear reader, to this place.


I look at the various blog stats from time to time, as my late-night computorial excesses allow (search strings, referring agents, what have you). A good 75% of the data, I’m not quiiiite sure what it means. But I think I have a grip on the search strings.

Sometimes what brings folks here is positively wacky. There was a time there when, kid you not, Aztec warrior or something like that hauled in hapless readers by the dozens (because of this). Legions of high school kids on the hunt for cribbed info to pad a report due the next day stumbled into this blog. And what do you think they did next, after they dusted themselves off and saw where they were? Actually move on to consult a reputable scholarly source regarding Aztec warriors? Or twiddle around here a while, ’til they heard the tell-tale footfall of a parent in the hallway?

Now that the Aztec warrior mania has cooled, and it’s all about the bionic woman. I made reference That infernal imp Looky,Daddy made reference to Lindsay Wagner once, way back, in a comment. (Here. I’m not saying I didn’t take the bait, but he started it.) I’m sure the reappearance of cybernetic action chicks on the small screen has prompted the Lindsay Wagner nostalgia, and I for one hope it helps get Ms. Wagner off her sleep number bed and into at least a decent after-school special.

Ella Fitzgerald, well. She is so, so, so more classy than these digs, I don’t even know why my one reference dragged anyone over here. Says more about search engines than Miss Fitzgerald or this lesbo bon mots depot. But I tilt my head back and let the stardust sprinkle on my cheeks nonetheless.

Lots of the other search string dealies actually seem to be roughly on target, for which of course I’m grateful (by my calculations, a good 92 folks hit the bull’s eye!). Lesbians. Dads. Shoes. Scat. Turkey basters. You’ll find that stuff here. But I’d hate to have someone rummaging around for Thespian Cads or Caspian Fads and bump into this thing. Sure to disappoint. Unless you’re a procrastinating high school student, in which case, pop another bowl of popcorn and set a spell! There’s a lot to catch up on!

    my number one search string?

    “f*cked up sh*t”. vowels included in the official version, of course.

    And, you know, that’s probably not that far off base…

  2. 2 Clare

    My number one (and this has been going on for months now!) is “photos of woman breastfeeding puppies”. Ugh. So far off base also Eww!

  3. 3 virgotex

    I once used a stock photo of a magnifying glass as a post illustration. Since then, I consistently get high numbers of search hits for “magnifying glass.” For a while, my blog was the number one hit in Google image search results for that term.

  4. 4 LookyDaddy

    Mmmm. Lindsay Wagner.

  5. 5 LesbianDad

    Lindsay Wagner Walk of Fame terrazo nugget, anyone? Only $699:

    Hey there, I stumbled across your page sometime in the last month or two and have been an avid reader since. My partner and I are planning to have children soon and she, like you, does not fit into the binary “mother” or “father” box. It’s been great to read about you and your family, so thanks for blogging.

  7. 7 LesbianDad

    You’re welcome! Thank you for reading. The more, the merrier, that’s for sure.

    Terrazo nugget?

  8. 8 Studying Stones

    I think I’ll pass on the terrazo nugget, I just spent nearly that amount of money on tires for my car today. Ouch!

    LD's No on California Prop 8 fundraising

    Goal Thermometer no-on-8-cutie



    The time to step up is now.



    See that cute kid there on the right? My son. The day, this July, that my partner and I got hitched. It was our fourteenth anniversary. Help.

    Featured election news/analysis:

    From Geoff Kors, Equality California, in an email to EQCA and No on 8 supporters, 14 Oct., 2008:
    The latest tracking polls show that if the election were held today among voters who have seen both our ads and the other side’s ads that we would WIN!



    Unfortunately, we don’t have sufficient funds to get our ads seen by all the voters who’ve seen the other side’s ads. So it’s that simple…without more funds we’ll lose.



    But we will win if we have enough money to reach voters. So DONATE NOW!



    A powerful array of motivated groups have organized against us. Yesterday’s Sacramento Bee reported that:



    “Mormons…have emerged as the leading financial contributors to the controversial Nov. 4 ballot measure. Church members have donated about 40 percent of the $22.8 million raised to pass the initiative since July.”



    What is also unfortunate is that only 30,000 people have donated to the No on 8 campaign compared to the 60,000 who have donated to the other side.



    In a state with about two million LGBT people, in a country with millions more and tens of millions of straight allies, we have to get everyone to support this fight. If every LGBT person donates we can win!
    From "Gay marriages in California surpass those in Massachusetts,", Jessica Garrison, on 7 Oct., 2008, at the Los Angeles Times.



    Data released Monday (6 Oct 08) by UCLA's Williams Institute found that an estimated 11, 000 same-sex couples were married in CA since June 17, when the court began to allow them. (Since May 2004, over 10,000 have married in Massachusetts.)



    Pastor Jim Garlow of Skyline Church in La Mesa, who has been rallying voters to pass the constitutional amendment, said: "The fact that there are big numbers doesn't change the reality that it is still bad for the country."



    Garlow, who along with hundreds of other Christians, is observing a fast until election day as a way to show his support for the proposed amendment, added: "There are enormous numbers of people doing cocaine right now. . . . Simply because large numbers of people are doing something does not make it right."
