Fun With Google

I'm bored. How to kill the boredom? Stupid poker blog Google searches!

Let's see. Key in "stupid poker blog", and ... I'm not listed in the first five pages, yay! First result: A post from the Pokerstars Blog.

"useless poker blog". Whew. First up: Jon's Phuquing Useless Poker Blog - not recently updated.

What other words best define this blog?

I'm going with crappy. Thesaurus time.

Main Entry: bad

"crappy poker blog". Still no top hits. First result: Up For Poker.

"abominable poker blog" pretty much just brings up shill sites. Screw that.

"atrocious poker blog" ... shill site. The Poker Prof is #2.

"awful poker blog" gives me Hoyazo as the first up.

"beastly poker blog"? Ummm, forget it. I'm not touching that one.

"blah poker blog" gives you the Poker Fool up top.

"careless poker blog"? Nope, I'm not in the top 5 pages. "cheap poker blog"? Nah, but hey, April and Geek make #1. "cheesy poker blog"? Uhhh, hey, what up willy? Nope. "crummy poker blog"? "defective poker blog"? "deficient poker blog"? No, no and no.

How about "god-awful poker blog"? Nyet. ZeRat11 has that one.

"stinking poker blog"? Again no, although this one turns up a lot of familiar names. Drizz is #2, probably for his frequent use of the word(s) stinkin' badgers.

I'm reaching here. "unsatisfactory poker blog". Whiffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.

Dammit, that's like a lot of synonyms for crappy and I'm still not making the grade.

Oh, well.

Last shot: "strange poker blog". Nope. Bill Rini is #1.

I guess this means that I hate Google and that Google is rigged. Not to mention completely wrong.

I mean, come on. I'm not even the #1 result for "OMATARD FILLED POKER BLOG". I'm not in the first five pages for "badly drawn poker blog". Nor am I there for "poker blogs that completely suck".

Commence total Google tilt.

Grrr.

I suppose that I'll have to take solace in the fact that I'll always be the number 1 result for the search "trisha volpe poker blog".

That's right, I'm #1. Deal with it.

On a semi-related note, I'd like to welcome the dozens of people from Denmark who've landed on this site by using Google.de to look up "promise me son not to do the things i've done". I would suggest searching for "Kenny Rogers lyrics" instead.

Same goes for you folks from the Phillipines.

And whoever got here by searching on "chance of a9s beating jj" ... I have no freaking idea.

I'm done.
