Wednesday, September 21, 2005Tomato Sex?People search for really strange things on the Internet. Now, I would venture a guess that most bloggers don't spend as much time as I do taking note of where their blog hits come from. Maybe it's my anal retentive tendencies rising to the surface, but I feel compelled to know who is finding me where. And why. It's not like I'm a bestselling author (yet) or that I'm drop-dead gorgeous (oh, please) or wanted by the FBI. So it's intriguing to note where the clicks actually come from. Imagine my surprise when, just yesterday, I discovered that my blog appeared when someone did a search on -- are you ready? -- tomato sex picture. Now, that phrase in itself is confusing enough. My first thought was, "What the heck is tomato sex?" Fast on its heels was my second thought: "Why the heck did my blog come up in this search??" I mean, seriously. A dear friend clued me in on the reason for the search, which has something to do with a photograph of a tomato that apparently resembles certain anatomical parts (heavens, I am so naive!). And I did blog about my first tomato several weeks ago. Hence, the connection. One of the most amusing search phenomena I've encountered, though, is the fact that I receive a steady trickle of hits from folks Googling "deboning chicken." I kid you not! Not only that, but my blog is popping up on the first page. Now, if I were wanting instructions on deboning a chicken, I don't think I'd click on some chick's writing blog. So I'm still trying to figure this one out. Come to think of it, I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would need instructions on deboning a chicken. You cook it, you let it cool, you rip the meat off of the bones. Voila! And now that I've mentioned deboning a chicken again, I'll probably get even more hits. I've gotten some hits from "deboning a trout," too. Is this humbling or what? I haven't gotten any hits from things like, "funny, amazing, and fabulously forty" or "women I'd like to marry if they weren't married already" or "world's best writers." Nope. Just "deboning chicken" and "tomato sex picture." Gotta start somewhere, I guess. |

12of my readers are feeling chatty:
Meh... I've had all sorts of oddities, ranging from "please screw my girlfriend" to "sloe gin bathrooms..." There are some decidedly peculiar people out there!
Heh, I got some hits on my site for people looking for recipes as well. It's interesting to see that's for sure. Another mutation of "it's a small world."
I get some funny ones, too. I write an every-few-months post about them, gives me something easy to make fun of. :)
Thanks for your comment on my site!
i get hit up with phrases like "mental institutions" and "Auburn haired frogs".
say WHAt??!
Yes, there are very disturbed people out there. What I don't understand is how you find out who's clicking on your blog.
BTW I'm not a chef, but there are recipes that call for deboning a chicken before you cook it. Just thought you might like to know.
cube she was being sarcastic LOL
Jill we all know you have some strange fetishes LOL and you have a some tomato sex story buried deep in the depths of this blog somewhere LOL
Why Doris, that must be YOUR blog you're referring to, not mine! :D
Cube -- Yes, I know....in fact, I'll be deboning some chicken later on today in order to make some chicken-noodle soup. It's just not the kind of thing I'd expect people to need instructions for, ya know? Just pull the meat off dem bones!
Tomato Sex:
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes II
"Return of the Hothouse"
I could point out that tomatoes, along with other flowering plants, do reproduce sexually... but you'd expect that from the person who knows the plant's latin name, so I'll just say "ROFL!!". ;-)
To know who's visiting your blog, you need to have a program like 'sitemeter.com' or something like that linked to it. You won't see the names of the individuals, just their IP addresses, where they are located, what they searched for & where they came from (ie--did they come from another website that is linked to yours).
Yesterday, my blog was the search result for "Mr. Potatohead died".
I get a lot of searches for Sara Lane tits and Gingus Khan. I did write a short post about here web site but nothing about her body parts.
Jillian - I love this story. When I read it, I couldn't stop laughing. :)
