Since the invention of the Internet (thank you Al Gore), and more specifically Google, I have learned more about things in life than I probably ever would have had I not been privy to technology.
You need to know at what temperature to cook a pork butt? Google “At what temperature do I cook a pork butt?” And BAM, instant answer.
I Google the shit out of everything. And it’s FREE!
It’s like the best deal EVER.
So when it was time to make a paper mache penguin for Harley’s first grade class, I was ready to Google “How do you make a paper mache…?”
But before I could type in the word “make” Google pulled up these answers for me…. trying to guess what I might ask?
I'm wondering the same thing. How DO you eat a pomegranate?
After reading the list I realized I was sheltered as a child. Because I don’t know how to do half of these things. Well, I pretty much have the “How do you get pregnant” thing down. But only because I saw the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High when I was a teenager.
When I typed in the word “make” I got a whole other list of suggestions.
OK. I do know how to make most of these things. I'm not bragging.
I got so sidetracked that I forgot all about the paper mache penguin. And then I got bitch slapped by a seven year old. The girl is serious about her project.
FYI: Did you know paper mache is just flour and water? It’s ONE ingredient from being CAKE MIX.
Mmm. Cake.
Google, oh how I love thee. Even if you are more fucked up than me.

I so so love these Google suggested search results. “Could Jesus”… microwave a burrito? have been black?
And dudette, flour and water are FIERCE together. I hate when that shit gets stuck on my counter.

yes, but do you ever google yourself? I do that all the time. Just to see how famous I’m (not) getting.
Am I the only one who googled that to see if those things *actually* came up??
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
I just googled “Becky is…” and learned that I am 1. not successful at sobering up a drunk person; 2. back in the ballet; 3. addicted to technology; 4. a brunette again; 5. a rising star in San Antonio. Good to know, thanks Google!

I couldn’t agree more. Any question that crosses my mind, or comes close to crossing my mind gets googled. My husband as well. If we are watching a show and I ask a simple question he comes back five minutes later and tells me the entire history about everthing ever remotely related to that show.
And that last part about getting bitch slapped by your daughter was hysterical.

I HEART google! I google everything too. Every time someone asks me a question at work that I don’t know the answer to, I google it and it makes me seem smart! Oh and I love that it sounds like a dirty word. Like…I like to google myself… HA!

I especially like that “how to make jello shots” and “how to make out” are higher on the list than “how to make money”.
Do you think google keeps track of your URL and bases it’s suggestions for your searches on past searches you’ve done or websites you visit from your computer?
Fast Times taught you how to get pregnant? It only taught me never to buy tickets from creepy guys and always think of Phoebe Cates when you whack it.
