Google Strangeness

This site has shown up on some pretty strange Google searches in the past, but has to be the wierdest:

Hold the Mayo(at its original BlogSpot home no less) was number 3 for this search.

I could remember the steak line - but not what the post was about. I knew the $.99 song post. The Daschel comment could have come from any number of posts. Thank goodness Hold the Mayo has a search function.

The steak line was from post about the day I discovered Eject! Eject! Eject!

Finding Bill Whittle's essays, which I did with the help of my good friend at Rocket Man Blog, was like sitting down to a really great steak when you are really hungry for steak.

The essays are not short, much more of king cut of prime rib than a tasty little filet. They are meaty, they are satisfying, and they will fill you up mentally. They are food for the mind and the soul. So, thanks for the hit on my site meter, but get over to Eject! Eject! Eject! now. Bon appetite.

The $.99 song refernece is from this post on my first trip to the iTunes music store.

I started clicking on some of the "people who bought this also bought" links and after a few of those I was suddenly confronted with an image of the cover of Pink Floyd's The Wall. This was the first album I bought with my own money. Feeling old crashes headlong into nostalgia. At $.99 per song I just had to decide which ones I wanted most. A quick check of my Itunes library showed - to my complete dismay - no songs from The Wall. Back to the Itunes store and a few clicks and a password later and I had bought the whole thing. Downloading the entire double album collection of 26 songs took less than 10 minutes. Feeling old and feeling nostalgic meets really cool technology. "I have become Comfortably Numb."

The Daschel comment was from a post about Miguel Estrada withdrawing from his nomination the the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The senate leadership, meaning of course Bill Frist, could have forced the Democrats to actually filibuster the nomination instead of letting them get away with a fake procedural filibuster. Frist could, and should, have called their bluff and made them earn it. He could, and should, have said to Daschel and the gang that if you want to prevent a vote on this nomination you are going to have to do the work. He could, and should, have kept the senate in session 24/7 for as long as it took. He could have said to the Democrats "If you want a fight, you've got one."

All three of this posts were written in the very early days of this blog. None of them were at all related until tonight when they brought together by some complete utter wanker using to Google to figure out where he should go for fast food.
