I have nothing to say except, “This cat is going to be sooooo famous! I expect to see it everywhere.”
St. Colford Medical Center: We treat uvulae, scrota, and giblets.
I’m home sick with the beginnings of a cold and took this opportunity to upgrade our WordPress installation. While I was at it, I took a look at our Web server stats. These were the top ten phrases used on search engines to find us this month:
- swollen uvula
- tattoo
- computers internet blog
- peace symbols
- tiger tattoos
- tattoo pictures
- carol channing
- just giblets
- tiger stencils
- uvula
I’ve often wondered if anyone besides our unusual friends sees our blog. Any semi-serious citizen journalism cred that my talented and creative husband generates by posting insightful book reviews has got to have been neutralized quickly by my dorky video posts of children cussing.
I’m honored that Carol Channing fans have found us and that I’m spreading the word about harmless (but alarming) uvular edema. Heck, maybe even girly tiger tattoos may become the fashion. Who woulda thunk I’d write the most Google-worthy posts?
Those top ten are great, but get this. There are more awesome phrases farther down the list. Here’s a selection of unusual search phrases that have brought people to us this month more than once!
- pic of sudafed (I think the ban on over-the-counter sale is actually increasing interest in meth production.)
- scary images of of people
- medical wonders
- crazy lady (I can’t imagine who that would be?)
- swollen uvula anxiety (See? It’s really scary!)
- balla powder tingle (Okay, now I’ve gotta try it.)
And of course there a few gems in the one-hit list.
- sean connery red suspenders (Hot.)
- batwing pharmacy (This cracks me up, realizing why it’s indexed.)
- got giblets?
- how to make a shy girl open up (WTF?)
- are giblets good for you? (Need you ask?)
- hooters of dayton ohio (Never been. Don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it either.)
- abner i m closing the circle movie quote (I don’t know. But I think I want to see it.)
- i miss kitty (This makes me sad and I wish the visitor had emailed me.)
- sudafed pe makes me jittery
- ernest borgnine what he attributes to a long life (You know what it is, right? But I didn’t post about that. I posted about him farting on Ethel Merman.)
- men with large scrotums (Okay, that’s just eerie.)
- pain in the giblet doctor
All in all, I think we’re filling a much needed gap in the consumer health web, if not for many physical issues, for mental ones. Shoot. I think we need an award, actually.
A Day I’m Glad to Celebrate!
Scottie’s got a lot to crow about, because unlike his buddy Peter Pan, Scottie is an adorable, whip-smart, compassionate, intelligent man who is celebrating his birthday today. And I’m the lucky guy who gets to celebrate it with him. I love you, Scottie. Happy Birthday!
Greenwich Mean Time
Scot’s butt is on the line… literally, at the Prime Meridian in Greenwich England.
Should I feel a certain way about this?
So, Neil Patrick Harris is gay. We all know this. We all know that he’s also one of our current “it boys” — seemingly able to do no wrong whether he’s playing straight on TV (How I Met Your Mother) or at the movies (Harold & Kumar) or doing the song and dance thing with Joss Whedon (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog) or whatever he wants to do. So why is there now this little backlash over at Gawker stating that’s he’s “too straight?” More, why am I hearing about it for the first time on one of my comics blogs where the Occasional Superheroine takes issues with Gawker’s post? Both sides actually have merit to their argument, and I am at a loss as to where I fall. Guess it depends on the time of day. Bravo for Mr. Harris’ success, and it’s always nice to see more successful gay people in the entertainment business. And come on, he looks pretty hot on that Out Magazine cover.
