Fun With Search Words

PrintHow do some strangers find Twinkie Town?
I keep a fairly close tab on Twinkie Town's metrics, and every once in a while I'll check out what search words people use to end up visiting our community. There are all of the normal ones, "Twins roster 2010", "JJ Hardy", "Where will Joe Mauer play in 2011", "Joe Mauer contract" "Joe Mauer", "Joe Mauer predictions 2010" and "What is Joe Mauer worth". There are a couple of recurring odd ones, like "fail" (for all of the failboat pics we get during game threads) or "[insert minor league pitcer] scouting report", but here's a list of my top ten, all-original searches.
10: "How many miles is it from Minnesota to Texas?" I'm not sure, but this just seems impossible to me. How deep in the search did they have to go to find a link here?
9: "John Denver plane crash" Um...ouch. The hit came from an image search.
8. "krusty the clown" This was another google image search, from when I used a pic of Krusty to celebrate 300,000 visits. Oh, so long ago...
7. "lower back pain above buttocks" Had to have been one of my injury reports, right? I'm just glad someone can find us by searching for "buttocks". Oddly enough I haven't come across anyone searching for "Joe Mauer's butt".
6. "18 inch crappie" That's a huge crappie.
5. "Mike Redmond naked guy" I'm just glad I'm not the only one searcing for this.
4. "things that you could do to a twinkie" Processed-cake-with-frosting-and-filling-dessert-related, not baseball-related, but they found us anyway.
3. "pat reusse drunk" How else would one search for Pat Reusse?
2. "Megan Fox age 14" For real, someone searched for this, and found a picture of a Rally Megan Fox. She definitely wasn't 14.
1. "is joe mauer a jerk?" This is the best one, because somebody out there is looking for a reason to dislike Joe Mauer! Sorry, crazy searching person, but Joe isn't a jerk. He's great. That is all.

Interesting
I love this type of analysis.
“Megan Fox age 14” is easily the creepiest of those.

I dunno...
…who knows what that one person was looking to do to the Twinkie?
Whoops!
I was just about to take the rap for that one then I realized it said ‘Megan Fox Age 14’.
Whew….my search was for ‘Megan Fox Age 13’….. I almost looked quite the fool.
MPR, Lefsa, 3M, Sun Country Airlines, Grumpy Old Men movies, Joe Mauer. What a blessed state!

Sadly, this was very easy to find.
On a scale from Matthew LeCroy to Kirby Puckett, I'm about a Luis Rivas.
Oh I know.
and losing the Helga from Hey Arnold-esque unibrow didn’t hurt either.

"egan Fox age 14" is creepy?
I was actually thinking of runing that search after I finish here.
My favorite ones are the Redmond and Reusse searches
Both are good summaries of their personas

That last one should also be under the heading of ...
…
“Colossal Epic FAIL”
or
“0 search results in .24623 seconds”
Will the Real Thor Please Stand Up ... ?
Other people have searched for “Mike Redmond naked guy” too? Who searches for “Mike Redmond naked guy”?!
…Weirdos.

"18 inch crappie"
Must have been a ralley Crappie.
I hope it worked.
Aww, who am I kidding, of COURSE it worked.
I always loved that one.
I don't want the searchers of term #5 to go home empty handed, so...

Also
My boss came in while I was making that. So if I’m fired, I hope the people lusting after fat-washed up catchers got their rocks off.

Yeah.
Maybe he a has a large-man-on-a-gator-eating-a-pickle-on-a-stick fetish. They’re rare, but they exist.

Haha, gross.
His uniform hides a lot apparently.
