I really should keep a list of the the things people are searching for on Google, that bring them to the House. There are some queries that I get all the time, like Purple Saxifrage. Every day I get hits for Purple Saxifrage and I still don’t understand how there can be that much interest in it. I mean its a beautiful Arctic flower (and it is arctic with a C by the way, not artic) but everyday sees someone in the world searching for information on it. The colder months always see my hit counter swell with queries on Frozen Sewer Vent or Frozen Vent Stack or Frozen Sewer Stack or well you get the picture. Trust me, if you want to increase your hits in the dead of winter squeeze the words Frozen Sewer Sewage Vent and Stack somewhere in one post and the hits will come. There is the ever popular My Wife Wants to Use a Stap On On Me (and spelled like that). Don’t ask, I really have no idea. Lately various queries on Hog Ties or Hog Tying Someone have been popular, ones like Is It Safer to Hog Tie or Frog Tie Someone. I have no idea what Frog Tying someone involves and I don’t think I really want to know. There’s also been a lot of searches for Cartoon Sausages, and Narwhal Costumes (not at the same time though… yet.)
No one’s looked for Arctic Goats lately, maybe they lost their popularity. But some days you get these queries that make you think "You’re looking for what?" I’ve had several lately but for the life of me I can’t remember them, and some were truly bizarre. But just moments ago someone was looking for A Medium Size Dog that Looks Like A Cat In The Arctic. Boo perhaps?

That’s some funny stuff!
OMG. Your post made me laugh. I get really odd hits coming in from Google too. Apparently there is a lot of interest in Hmong culture, haunted hotels and pigeon blood. Go figure. Now, I gotta read your post on Purple Saxifrage.
That is a riot!!!
Yeah, I get weird searches coming into my blog all the time. I made the mistake of once typing that “Cathy’s craving….” without knowing that’s also the name of a porn site.
There’s a *lot* of people looking for that site.
And I think calling Boo “medium-sized” is generous. He’s a wee little beastie at best…
Funny post! I’ve had my share of head scratchers. Apparently someone is dead-set on finding out if Jordin Tootoo has a girlfriend….and then there was the “old ladies and young boys” key word search. (shudder!)
