Today’s post is inspired by my pal Kristine from Rescued Insanity. She recently shared some common search terms that led people to her blog. The results were pretty entertaining. (Go check them out… I’ll wait. Funny, right?)
They (?) say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So, I’ve decided to flatter the heck out of Kristine today and steal borrow get inspired by her idea.
Anyway… to the search terms!
In not-shocking news, a lot of people end up here by searching for “punny dog names” or “punny cat names” (and occasionally, for “punny animal names”). One day, I truly hope to become the preeminent website for ridiculously punny names. A gal can dream, after all.
“it’s funny how people twist words” – I hope so, as that’s my bread and butter.
“pet names for hairy men” – I wonder if one of my punny pet names was of use. I’m not sure if I’m flattered or frightened that this searcher ended up here.
“What kind of dog is in the Travelers commercial?” – Apparently, this question has haunted many an Internet searcher. I noticed a ton of variations on this question. Chopper the dog is spreading the word about the awesomeness of the mixed breed. Mutts unite!
“sunshine on my puppy” – Makes me happy…
“bella freud and husband” – I’m just going to help you out by leaving this link here.
“frowning quokka” – I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a quokka, but I’m not sure they are capable of frowning.
“same love gay dog” and “gay dog love.blogspot” – Well, I know why these two led you here, although the structure of your search terms puzzles me a bit. (Someone also found this site by searching “gay jude collin the pirata” – I have no idea what that means.)
“Why do you tilt your head when you are confused” and “why do we tilt our heads when confused to the right” – Because it seems to work for the dogs, so I thought I’d give it a try.
“power stones fan” – In fact, I’m tilting my head right now.
“my mom signs to my dog” – Pics or it didn’t happen.
“dog chewed letters on name tag. can’t read” and “dog walker didn’t show” – I am sorry to hear both of those things, but I’m not sure how I can help you… although I might suggest you get both a new name tag and a new dog walker.
“panties in a bunch better words” – I’m glad to see I’m not the only nerdy person who thinks about this stuff.
“self carrying dog blanket” – I smell a million-dollar idea. Any leads on a self-carrying poop bag? I’m placing my order right now.
“hello is it” – this blog you’re looking for? (I think this search term delighted me the most. I wonder how many confused Lionel Richie fans end up here.)
“buy goose northern Virginia” – All those goose puns are finally catching up with me, I guess. I do not actually run an underground goose market, however.
“northern Virginia bunnies for photographers” – I assume there’s some photographer out there looking for a few good bunny models? Unfortunately, if I do have a bunny modeling agency, it is only imaginary (much like the second season of Models, Inc.).
“massage on Thanksgiving” – You’re barking up the wrong tree, bud.
“professor Garfield” – Given that I only talk about the cat, I have a feeling that this blog was not the professor you were looking for. (I do enjoy the search terms containing some variation on the Garfield “down doobie doo down down” comic.)
“list of puns furrever eggcelent” – Now this one makes sense to me.
“why does every kid want a puppy?” – Um, because they’re awesome. Why don’t you just ask me why every kid wants ice cream?
“tell me more about puppies” – Happy to be of service. Pull up a chair and start surfing the archives. You might be here a while.
“no you love puppies and cupcakes” – Why, yes. Yes I do. I never claimed otherwise.
“I still highly want to” – I got nothin’. Follow your dreams. You can reach your goals.
Swing by Rescued Insanity (if you didn’t do so already, even though I told you I’d wait) to see what terms Kristine shared and to check out some funny terms in the comments. Then share your funny search terms below!
Did you use Google Analytics as well? Blogger gives a bare-bones look at a search terms list in their Stats section. So far I haven’t had the patience to figure out hooking into the more robust Analytics…..

I have signed up for Google Analytics, but it’s a bit daunting. I found these terms looking at my WordPress site stats through JetPack. My new goal is to learn to use GA though…
Awww, thank you so much for the linkage, I am so glad you enjoyed. It is a real honour when the queen of dog humour thinks you are funny.
Of course, your version is even more hilarious! Someone needs to invent a self-carrying poop bag like yesterday.
Kristine recently posted..Less Wordy Wednesday – Best. Birthday Gift. Ever.
You flatter me… the queen? I very much doubt it – you guys are all way funnier than me! 🙂
We need a scientist and then we could be rich!
I love looking in my search to see how people found me, although I usually only have one or two per day.
That Garfield ‘down doobie doo down down’ is one of my all time favorites! Which says something considering how long ago it ran coupled with the fact that my menopausal mind still remembers. 🙂
My favorite search term was “Delilah Farts” and yes, yes she does. So much so that one of these days I’ll get her fart on video. :-0

That comic is one of my favorites too. Obviously, we were meant to be pals. 🙂
I love seeing search terms! It’s such fun to loo at my own, and hear about other peoples’.
(I love puppies and cupcakes too!)

Yay for puppies & cupcakes!
Funny and odd!
Flach http://www.timflach.com/ that was amazing, he is the God of Photography!!!
Agreed – great stuff!
Yesterday, someone found this blog by searching “I really want there to be more than life.” I’m not sure how useful this blog is on that front… but, hey… puppies!
These are pretty funny lol. I got a new one the other day that got me laughing – “Im pawsitively estatic about robotics”… hmmm.

Hahaha… that one’s awesome!
I’d be amazed if you didn’t get more people looking for Lionel Richie than Lionel Richie does. 🙂
My search terms sometimes inspire post ideas. I get frequent hits from “what does it mean if someone doesn’t like dogs.” I’ve got to write about that someday.

Haha… I do post about Lionel Richie a lot. 🙂
Oh, that’s good inspiration for sure!
Haha, what a fun idea for a post! I certainly don’t get interesting search terms like those 🙂
That’s what happens when you’re all over the place like I am!
