Searching

Fascinating searches that brought people to my site this week:

• “Please Come for Christmas real audio” — HOME! Please Come HOME for Christmas!
• “Christy Mathewson’s jersey number” — I don’t know. I DO know he was the first pitcher of the 20th century to win 30 games in 3 consecutive years. (Thanks to http://www.mlb.com, I’ve learned that the last to do that was Grover Alexander of the Phillies, 1915-1917, and that Dizzy Dean was the last to win 30 games in a season, in 1934.)
• “Sidewalk chalk on asphalt pavement” — God, I love that song.
• “Marlon Brando Wally Cox” — I get this search EVERY day.
• “Burl Ives Norelco” — I get this one every day, too. Honestly.
• “Linda Ronstadt plastic surgery” — Definitely don’t get that one every day.
• “Alplaus Indians” — now that’s a refreshing change. However, there were no Alplaus indians. Well, there were probably Mohawks hanging around the creek, but “Alplaus” is Dutch — “the place of the eels,” don’tcha know.
• “What makes life from the rural different from the urban” — God, where to start?
• “Goodbye Pop” National Lampoon — given that I’ve been hit for this about 12 times in a week, you would think somebody somewhere would have a scan of this album cover!
• “Vaughn Meader MP3” — may he, uhh, rest in, rest in peace.
• “Joan Cusack speech impediment” — well, what more can I say?
