Internet! Give me your poor, your tired, your face sleepers, your huddled masses yearning for funny pictures of alveoli. Once again, I am here to help.

how do you know when ivf works
Pregnancy is usually an indicator that things are headed in the right direction.

can i have a pageant when on metformin can you have a baby
This is really two separate questions, though I am not entirely sure which two. Regardless, whether or not you have a pageant is really up to you, and should not be affected by insulin sensitizing drugs. I would need more information to comment upon your ability to have a baby—with or without metformin—but if you are planning to be a contestant in the aforementioned pageant, I’d hold off. It will ruin your figure.

clever shakespeare names for websites
As You Link It?” How about “You Can’t Spell Hamlet Without HTML?
(I may not be the best person for this).

deciphering women “you make me laugh”
She probably means that you’re funny—which is good! Unless she’s saying it scornfully, after you’ve asked her out. Tone is key when deciphering women.

husband insists on brazilian wax
As long as you mean for himself, what’s the harm? If he is insisting that YOU be denuded stem to stern, I feel it is only fair that he do the same. Either way, I see hairless balls in your future.

how to get pregnant with b+
You shouldn’t have any more trouble than a C student, despite what your parents might have told you. Good girls do TOO get knocked up.

lonely hygenist in rome
This search string makes me feel terrible. I can almost see her, loitering around the Trevi fountain, alone, fondling one of those little pirate-hook tooth scrapers. Is there a lonely Roman dentist in the audience?

is there a range u dont have to worry about your child being electrocuted?
Not that I know of, though there will likely come a time when the worry is more “hair dryer mishap” and less “exposed electrical socket”

if a man takes a horse tranquilizer can he become infertile
Yes, in the sense that he may be unconscious

what is the medical term for babies being able to grab things with their feet?
“Monkey”

vicodin safe while breastfeeding thomas hale
I know what you’re getting at, here, but I love the image of you breastfeeding Dr. Hale—his tie askew, his eyelashes fluttering sleepily. Very sleepily, if you’ve taken the Vicodin.

she paints pictures of what she considers an angel. a new face who couldn,t be seen, but such face still lingers because she seen it before.
Wait, the face couldn’t be seen, and yet she “seen it before?” Something’s not right, here.

took off girdle for enema
I think that was wise.

“His eyeashes fluttering sleepily”…I couldn’t contain my laughter which jolted and delatched my nursing-down-for-bed baby. Nursing while reading blogs on iPhone can be hazardous.

Do people actually search such bizarre things?
I too love when you do this. It truly makes me laugh, and to the point where I dont care who’s listening.
Thank you!

I think the “Hamlet without HTML” one suggests that you are indeed the right person to go to for clever Shakespeare names for websites.

Thank you SO much for this entry — I’ve never need to laugh more than today.

Actually, I would probably not have a pageant when on Metformin. Not with the side effects I had. I’m just sayin’. (Well, I suppose it depends on what type of pageant you’re planning, but let’s not go there.)

Seriously, you could do these every day. Why don’t I have friends that are this funny?! The pageant one may be my favorite… tough choice.

You really should post a warning first – about not drinking or eating while reading this post.

“Monkey”

You had me at “Monkey” and killed me with “I think that was wise”.

I thought you were posting that you were pregnant!!!!! Oh well, that’s what happens when you try to read while fending off a 1 yr old and a 4 yr old. Try it some time!! hahahahahaha! THAT is funny shit!

Damn, I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it when you write these posts!!

(If you tell us you just whip up these quips in mere minutes, well, I don’t know what I’ll do, but I know I’ll feel badly about myself for not being very clever. So, even if it does take just mere minutes to whip these up, lie to us and tell us you slave over them for hours or even days.)

Ok, these are all wonderful, but what I am unclear on is, how do these people arrive at FLOTSAM when using these search terms?? What glorious Alexa posts have I been missing, and how can I find them? (Aside from coming up with my own ridiculous search terms. Which I’m kind of askeered to do.)

“You can’t spell Hamlet without html”…that is hilarious!!!

Reply

Laura September 1, 2009 at 2:18 pm

You get some pretty creative searches! Our recurring favorite on our family site is “naked ballet,” which, while not as bizarrely hilarious as “took off girdle for enema,” still makes me laugh every time. You know they’re going to be sadly disappointed with what they find.

This post cracked me up. You put the “html” in Hamlet.

Reply

Candy September 1, 2009 at 2:50 pm

Am I the only one who needs to know how long you pondered the html in Hamlet line? Because, my GOD woman! Why aren’t you writing books? Oh…wait…

claire September 1, 2009 at 3:55 pm

Dude, I think some of these people have got to be messing with you.
And you need to trademark “As you link it!”

I’m sorry, I always read people saying “that made me crack up hysterically” on blogs and I’m like really? But this? You made me crack up HYSTERICALLY! The image of Dr. Hale breastfeeding, I am still laughing. I agree with the person who said you could write a
book on these!

Sarah@BecomingSarah September 2, 2009 at 10:35 am

Why do you get the good searches? I get searches for things like “cannot stop farting.” I would much prefer horse tranquilizer searches.

Reply

Jamie September 2, 2009 at 1:31 pm

Thank you. Perfect treat to begin the second half of my day laughing, monkey.

Karen September 2, 2009 at 4:08 pm

It’s always hilarious reading this. One day I will google with these phrases and see just which page your blog lands on. Somebody’s gotta be really desperate about that enema if it’s page 5+. LOL.

I need to switch over to WP so I can see my search results for my blog. That’s hilarious.

Ditto what the others said about this being one of my favorites when you do this. I laugh out loud – long and hard and then do it again. We need laughter. Thank you.
