The other recommendation was "stupid gift game where someone always steals the one you want at the last second" : Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, December 8, 2009 at 4:18AM 
So! Here we all are again. On a Tuesday. Twiddling our thumbs, looking around at each other but not making eye contact...
Oh, wait, that was my mumblemumble Anonymous meeting.
THIS is way more fun. Got something to say? A few paltry bits that you can't really tie together, thematically speaking, but that you want to post anyway? Round 'em up with Random Tuesday Thoughts and link up!
Today's beverage of choice is hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps. Hubby received some schnapps in the (insert more politically correct term than 'Chinese gift exchange' here*) at a dinner party Saturday night. Guess who's allergic to mint?
Well, not ME. Heh.
*Google informs me that better terms are "Dirty Santa" and "Rob Your Neighbour". Yes, Google, that makes it sound MUCH more appealing.
(I am so getting Google searches for Santa porn now, aren't I?)
Speaking of which, someone contacted me with a "search engine advertising" opportunity for my blog. Basically, ads would appear for people who get here using a search engine, targeted to them and what they searched for. You, my wonderful regular readers, would never see a thing.
I sent them back a note saying it sounded interesting, but that they may want to have a peek at what Google searches actually get people to my blog, first:
You know what would be fantastic? If they would make my beloved City of Heroes game for the Wii. If I had to actually punch the virtual bad guys in the nads and do flip kicks off their heads, I would probably look a lot better in my spandex.
Um, I mean, I would be looking so good I could wear spandex. Yeah, that's what I meant to say.
So, get on that, NCSoft. My potentially smokin' bod depends on you.
On a totally unrelated note, did anybody read Farenheit 451? Remember those full-wall interactive TV screens that pretty much meant nobody ever had to actually talk to other human beings again?
I don't know what made me think of that. That could never happen.
I told hubby today, "I'm just going to let myself go and get really fat, okay?" He's used to hearing weird hormonal statements from me lately, so he just shrugged.
I'm pretty sure that means it's okay.
My doctor has decided to close her practice and go be a full-time parent. Which is a sentiment I totally get, but I am still a little upset. I mean a) she was awesome, and b) Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a medical professional that doesn't think I'm a nutjob?
Thank goodness there's you guys. Quick, diagnose this lump, will ya?
Here's a thought: Got a cold? Don't lather yourself up with Vicks and then head to bed and expect to get grabby with your husband's stick shift. Or at least don't expect him to appreciate it. Not that this has happened to me. Because I think these things through.
And, on that note...where's the Vicks?
Random up, you guys. Don't make me come over there.

Vicks does have a nice menthol quality! It may be an idea!
You asked permission to get fat? I am a rebel, I do it on my own! LOL
I really need to figure out how you find the information on the search records?
I tried to enter my link but it advised that your blog ran out of inspiration. WTF, I run out of inspiration all the time! At any rate, here is the link to my Random Tuesday Thoughts post:

Your google search is quite interesting! Have a great holiday season!
"You asked permission to get fat? I am a rebel, I do it on my own!"
LMAO @ Otin!
Your search terms are SO much more amusing than mine. Now I'm off to figure out how to make that amusing message pop up on my blog when someone right-clicks on it...
I am unable to post my link!!! Apparently you have run out of inspiration......
Here is my link.

I would probably be totally cool with giant TV screens that meant I never had to talk to another human being again! Let's get together and work that out, shall we?
I cannot post my link nor can I grab your badge as you have run out of inspiration. I'm happy to see I'm not the only one with that problem. At least I know it's not my computer. So here is my link:

I feel for ya on the doctor bit. I'm still trying to find one that doesn't think I'm a nutjob.
That Vicks bit is hilarious. Also, don't apply Vicks then take a bath, it melts into the water and gets into places it shouldn't and burns like hell.
Have a great Tuesday.
How is everyone seeing what people are searching for when they end up at their blog??? No one will tell me how to do that!!! Please Keely tell me how!
I've linked up, Happy RTT!
You can still copy and paste without the right clicky, just use the edit function at the top of the browser menu.
Useful advice in the A.M.
I'm at the letting myself go stage right now too. It looks very much like the stop jogging and eat cookies stage of last month, except it's Christmassy-er.
Vicks makes me hot, but only in a burning make me want to puke kind of way.
Sorry you lost your Dr. to parenting. I've been there, my favorite OB refused to deliver my baby because she stopped delivering them for everyone else. The next Dr. I had sucked. I blame the first one for wanting to spend more time with her family without getting interrupted with those pesky I'm having a baby at 3 A.M. calls.
Our keyword searches are odd and slightly scary at times.
Totally sucks on the doctor loss. Hate to tell you that lump is usually the first sign of impending zombi-ism. You did ask.
It always sucks when your good doctor decides to close the practice. I had a family doctor do that - he retired and I got the letter announcing his retirement 2 months after he actually retired.
Still laughing at Otin's comment... ;)
Happy RTT! :)
Boy that's a lot of F words driving people in here.. is this the secret of success?:P i think so!! ha ha :)
Oh and finding a good doctor?!?.. tell me about it.. mine's a crazy 60 years old man who's talking to you but look at the walls.. that means he's a good doctor, right?:P

have you seen WALL-E? that space cruise ship seems almost lie paradise.
Happy RTT!!! By the way. Spandex is a privilege...not a right! LOL! My DIL informed me of this as I was considering wearing some. LOL!!
Good luck on finding a new doctor...that has got to suck!!!
Hugs

The VICKS!! I read once that if you ate an Altoid and ummmm, put a very sensitive body part in your mouth that the senstion would be most pleasurable...well, don't try it, trust me.
I'm a little too cohesive this week... but I think you were random enough for both of us. ;)
Your list of search phrases was hilarious. Sorry to hear about our doc. GOod luck finding a new one that cares enough to not kick you out. ;)
Menthol cough drops work nicely too.
So I have a question for ya. You get all that through Google Analytic's? It never does it the way it should and that get Clicky is useless for me so I don't have anything tracking my shit.
About cristin's comment. I tried that. Hubbs said he couldnt tell the difference. Maybe I needed more altoids. Oh well, that was when we were newly weds, we don't do crap like that anymore ;)
We just had a doc quit on us. It was the shrink. That sucks.
Happy RTT!
I almost want to write Dirty Santa on a post just to see what kind of search hits I get. Great Random as always.
Your husband is allergic to mint? How does he brush his teeth?
When they proclaim minty breath on the commercials for toothpaste, does he sneer?
Yeah, we need a back story on this one.
Hmmmm...you were at that anonymous meeting too, eh?! Oh wait...damn it...was I supposed to say I was there? Ugh! Oh well!
~WM
I don't actually know how people end up on my site (probably forced at gunpoint or something).
Dirty Santa, eh? Interesting...
Happy Random.
Awesome random. Sorry, I'm not playing along today. I'm doing the SITSmas thing. What can I say? I'm a follower.
I teach Fahrenheit 451 in my class. The students really like it. The wall to wall TV's, the "sea shells" in the ears to listen to the radio rather than talk to people, the TV live chase of the protagonist by the police... Yeah. None of that could ever happen. Did you know Ray Bradbury is still alive?
Believe me, Icy-hot is worse on the stick shift, lessoned learned!
