That sounds about right

The four most recent searches that led people to my blog:

"Quick-dry paper mache"
"Fixed thermostat in car still running sluggish"
"Transition songs about trees for kindergarteners"
"Stripper"

Coasting Richly...striving to provide a little something for everyone.

And also, could I just say that it is not fair that people who spend 95% of their time speaking a second language end up sounding drunker sooner than the other people in any given social group.

Or so I'm told.

Okay. How many hits are you getting on "stripper" searches? Lots, right?

Nope, just the one, actually.

Of course all we ever find out about are the people who not only do a search that points to one of my entries, but who also click through and actually view a page of the blog.

"Wrestling singlet" remains the only search term that has brought multiple users to my blog, although I do get frequent variations on the formula:

"Name of kids' TV show" + "kids' activity"

For instance:

Lazy Town piñata
Harry y su Cubeta de Dinosaurios coloring sheets
Caillou birthday cake

(While it doesn't follow the formula exactly, I consider the recent "Burger King with play place Raleigh" part of this group.)

Oh, and ever since last month's Day in the Life, I'm getting paper maché-related searches about once a week.

Glad to see I'm not the only aggrieved foreigner. For the record, I wrote that post while in the condition in question, so you can see that we're not talking about extremes or anything.

Still. The pronunciation, she suffers.

I can only agree to the sounding drunker analysis. Jeez, after one glass of wine my spoken french loses it's finesse and as the evening continues, it would sometimes be better if I just stopped talking.

But was it a drunk person who told you that?
Or as my mother would say when we came home with tales of friendships gone wrong - Don't take any notice, they're just jealous!
I don't have weird search issues but would love to know why someone in Alabama spent a couple of hours browsing my blog last night. Normally 15 minutes is more than enough!

donde esta Jennifer?

Now that's a good point.

I can't say I've taken the experiment to that particular extent, but you're right. The pronunciation may go, but the language is still there. Cool.
