Have you ever taken a real close look at your internet search history? Even just the past week or so? Without benefit of context, pretty much every single phrase you’ve used over the past 7 days will make you sound like a dangerously lonely sociopath.
So, for this post, I’ve taken screenshots of my latest search engine terms. Sometimes I was searching for funny images for blog posts I was writing at the time. Sometimes I was genuinely curious about a freakishly random topic. Other times I wanted to find a funny article or video I’d seen recently. And a few times I was making sure some joke or obscure reference I wanted to write about had not been written by anyone before. But most of the time I was just being me; an American expat slowly losing his mind in Hannover, Germany.

What about you? Which of your own search terms put a sick little smile on your face? The comments section is WIDE open…
Oh God, My Wife Is German. 
My latest one is “why does spoken german sound like a bulldog eating a leather shoe”

Because American English sounds as if you ate a pound of chewing gum while trying to sing the Russian antheme backwards?

Okay, now I want to know what comes up when you google “Mormon first base”!
I’m a translator. I have to google weird shit all the time. I blame it on the clients ;-)

Excellent excuse! Me too! (And Mormon First Base is just holding hands. I guess Mormon Third Base would be a closed-mouth kiss on the lips.)

Yeah, a true serial killer in the making. It sounds like you are just hanging out with the dogs and monkeys, my friend. Just hanging with dogs and monkeys. (Now that is something for you to google!). :-)

I just checked my own history and it’s way more prosaic than yours. The most interesting term is “duck l’orange” but other than that, nothing I could not post on an open forum, except for all the addresses I have searched for directions while on the road :).

I’m not going to tell in public what my last search was. I don’t want to be arrested. *chuckle* – But I have to admit, your search terms made me laugh loudly. Thanks for the giggle!! I had tons of fun!
