Interesting...

So, whilst trying to publish my last post, I was told by Blogger that you can't use the symbols '!' or '.' in Labels (I wanted to tag the phrase "Damn you Salazaar!"). As you know, I do the occasional post on music - What the hell am I supposed to do if I'm reviewing an R.E.M album?

Damn you, Salazaar!




EDIT: Just thought I'd test it, and what do you know? R.E.M works! Guess it must just be when they're used at the end of the word. Wow, so this post is kind of pointless now, huh?

Also, I just tried to find the clip of John C. Reilly from Chicago where h says "Hope I didn't take up too much of your time" on YouTube, thinking that would be an appropriate way to end such a meaningless post, and not only did that clip not come up, but instead I got "John C. Reilly Shares his Gay Halloween Story".

WHYYYYYY????????

It's just one of those nights...

Having spent most of the night playing a copy of the 1994 game "Theme Park" that I downloaded yesterday (reliving my childhood years...), I decided to visit ICANHASCHEEZBURGER to look at some amusing images before I retired.

Having now seen so many lolcats that I am no longer amused that greatly by the concept, I decided to follow a link to one of their partner sites, and see what that did for me.

The site I wound up on is called "Autocomplete Me", and shows some of the funny search results that come up when you type certain phrases into google.

Looking at these, I was not only entertained, but also learned some very informative information (EDIT: you can tell I'm tired, I'm proof-reading right now, and I just thought "informative information. WHAT?". Which is why, for your reading pleasure, I am leaving it in). For example: I thought I was the only person who said "Damn you, Salazaar!" when my laptop goes wrong - turns out there's 77,000 search reslts for 'Damn you Salazaar' if you type it into google - that's gotta be on a par with "All your base are belong to us"!


EDIT: and why the fuck, when I type in "all your base are belong to us" on YouTube does it come up with "Nirvana: All Your Base Are Belong To Us"? If Kurt knew people were doing this sort of thing to his music, he'd shoot himself in the head! ...again! But, I digress...

2nd EDIT: Then again, it's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", so Kurt would probably be glad someone was ruining it - man, he hated that song.



But what forced me to come on this Blog, and type about my experience, was a certain image that I came across on the site, a couple of pages in. Here it is:




Now, you may have laughed at that, but even if you did, you're probably wondering why it's so hilarious I would write about it. (If you're not wondering, I'm assuming you're thinking "I know why - because you're a lunatic". Well, you're right, but allow me to explain...) And the reason for that is this: When I saw the picture, I burst out laughing, ridiculously loudly, before realising 2 things:

1. It's the middle of the night, everyone else in the flat is asleep, and I'm laughing like a loon at the idea of midgets laughing as they run, and

2. I was listening to a ridiculously depressing song by Nirvana at the time, and when I realised that, whilst listening to an incredibly dark song about mental illness and depression by a guy who shot himself, I was laughing - the thought of this made me laugh even harder, and then I couldn't stop for about half a minute straight.

So thank you, "Autocomplete Me" and Kurt Cobain, for making my night truly hilarious...



Voice




p.s. saw Kurt and Courtney earlier (whilst we're on Nirvana) so I might review that soon, also watched the movie "Street Kings" with Hugh Laurie (as in Hugh Laurie was in the film, I didn't watch it with him - oh, and I just saw Stephen Fry do an Epic Hugh Laurie burn on QI last night), so you can expect a review of that one too - probably tomorrow (haven't stated yet). So, until then - keeping those Midgets laughing!

Peace.


p.p.s. I swear, I was just about to give up... but then this came up:




Why are people searching for these things?
