bizarre search terms
Every once in a while, I am amazed by the searches that bring people to this blog. Most of my hits from searches come from phrases like ‘finish my basement’ (or the ever-popular ‘bat-cave basement’–gee, I don’t remember calling it that!) or ‘hives after showering’ (there are a lot of people with itchy redness out there, if my search page is any indication). Then there are the folks who are looking for bumblebee- or sweet potato-related goodness. Can anyone tell me what a ‘bumblebee job’ might be? How about ‘bumblebee entertainment’? Bumblebee sex toy? wait, don’t tell me, I don’t wanna know.
And just how does ’sweet potato smell’? (First thing in the morning? Not so fresh.)
I always like it when I get hits for ‘world’s cutest kids,’ of course.
But once in a while, I just get one that mystifies me. Today’s? ‘Leaked bumble bee picture’
Any guesses?

Did the bumblebee leak? Cuz ewwww. Or was it a top secret photo of a bumblebee that was leaked? Hmmm…so many possible conspiracy theories there.

Maybe “Bumblebee” is a code word for some Top Secret Air Force project. Oh, you are so busted!
I don’t get very many odd search terms in my stats, but every single day I get someone looking for “Hard core porn” because I used that phrase in a story about Adelphia Cable last year.

I always run a search on the bizzare, non-gross ones just to see what they were actually looking for…that one would be worth it!

OK, I cheated. I admit it.
I got curious and Googled it myself, and I’m going to vote for it being something to do with pics of a new “concept” Camaro being leaked to the public.
I have no idea why the “bumblebee” title goes with it, as I can hardly see muscle-car fans saying “yeah, I thought about a ‘vette, or a Viper, but I went with a Bumblebee”, and anyway, isn’t it already called a Camaro? But then what do I know about cars?

Hmmm interesting search results although not as disturbing as some of the ones I’ve seen…

Bumblebee will be one of the characters in the new live action Transformers movie. There was a photograph of him transformed that was leaked to the public but then hidden away. That’s why people are searching for it.
