Helping Out the Googlers

I enjoy seeing what brings Home Eccers to our site and I spend far too much time looking at our statistics. Every once in a while the queries either repulse me or cause me to laugh hysterically. I won’t share the depraved, but here are a couple that gave me a giggle.
- Kool-aid Satan - No, but if you give my two year old red dye #40 he’ll give Old Scratch a run for his money.
- Stop Hitmen Getting into My House - Really, Ivy and I try not to tick anyone off quite that badly.
- Why am I addicted to dry oatmeal? - I kind of like it myself and it’s healthy so there are worse things to be “addicted” to.
- See me in my house on internet - Not likely, but wipe your cheek, you have a little schmutz. No, not there, a little to the left. There, you got it.
- Make a house look clean without cleaning - Unless you hire out, you’re going to have to do a little, sorry.
- Flames shoot out of oven - Please use your fire extinguisher or hang up and dial 911
Finally we have my favorite and the one I am posing to you, Home Eccers - Excuses to get rid of your mother?
Do you need an excuse to get rid of your mother?
Hysterical!
that is pretty funny but the best part was that you used the word “shmutz” cause i grew up on that word and never hear it anymore…
Hilarious. I love the idea that somebody used Google to try to evade hitmen.
SCHMUTZ!!! You know that word!! Unlike Claudia, I still hear (and use) that word - and many other Pennsylvania Dutch words! But now I’m wondering if that is really PA Dutch, or if it’s just slang from some other Germanic backgrounds. . . hmmmmm.
Isn’t “schmutz” Yiddish?
schmutz is definitely a yiddish term, but it comes from german, so it’s likely that it came down in the PA Dutch lexicon as well.
-moonablaze, who wishes she knew MORE yiddish.
Bwahahaha!
Some of those things, I can’t believe people are Googling at all!
(On the flames part - if there are flames shooting out of your oven and it’s due to the oven itself, you probably have a GE, and you might as well give up on getting them to do anything about it - they say it’s normal. Buy a new oven.)
