I suppose with a crazy blog name like Homeless and Confused I should’ve expected that there would be some slightly “odd” variations on that search term to bring people to my site. However some are just plain worrying and downright nonsensical, so I thought I would share with you some of the more humorous ones that have graced my statistics lately. I don’t know what is worse, the fact that people search for this stuff, or the fact that I have compiled a whole post around it in order to poke fun at them. Either way, I enjoyed myself.
“confusing Vietnamese things”
I understand that Asia can be bewildering and scary, and certainly confusing, but would you care to narrow down exactly which confusing things it is you’re looking for?
“drinking made me homeless”
Wow. Sorry to hear that. Hope the alcoholism is working out for you.
“do Vietnamese use toilet paper?”
I would love to say yes, but judging by the lack of it in so many toilets, this is dubious. Carry some tissues with you just in case.
“fanny sundae”
You need help. That is all.
“how to get on homeless list”
Wait, there is a list? Why have I not heard of this before??
“what to do on a stupid rainy day”
Bake? Read a good book? Read my blog? Oh no, wait, you’re already doing that. Awesome. Keep up the good work.
“should I sell my house before I go travelling?”
Ummm. Yes. Or maybe that should be no. I have no clue. How big is your house? You could give it to me. For free. And then go travelling.
“change my life”
Is that a command? Sheesh, talk about pressure. Ok, give me a couple of days and I’ll put together an action plan.
“jealous about people going travelling“
Aren’t we all? Get off your backside and do something about it
“how to make a chick not be confused about love”
Woah. Where do I begin, dude? I think this one may be a lost cause. If she’s told you she’s “confused about love” it’s not a good sign. It’s a bit like the “it’s not you, it’s me” speech. Maybe I can hook you up with the drunk homeless person above?
“most fun you will ever have”
Gee, thanks. I am pretty fun. Can I use this as a quote on my homepage?!
“funny how life doesn’t work out the way you planned it”
Amen to that. Although I can’t believe you actually typed all that into Google…
“my girlfriend booty shaking”
Step away from the blog….. There are no pictures and/or video of your girlfriend shaking her booty here. I made sure I took them all down. Speak to my lawyer for further clarification.
“praying with beer bottle nearby”
The only way to pray, in my opinion.
“my father is homeless”
May I suggest he puts his name on the homeless list? They apparently have one of those.
“don’t I deserve a goodbye?”
Of course you do. Goodbye.
“I am hungover”
Well, we’ve all been there. Although I’m not quite sure why you’re telling me. Or Google. But we both appreciate the thought.
“jokes about karaoke”
Um, I don’t know any jokes about karaoke. How about an E.T. joke instead?
What’s E.T. short for?……..
Because he’s got little legs.

Sheryll Renata says

ConfusedJulia says
Aww thanks. You’re not too shabby yourself 😉
Aliadventures7 says
Hilarious! I wonder if there is a homeless list, and why…
ConfusedJulia says
Who is responsible for this elusive list, that’s what I want to know? I have visions of homeless people sat in internet cafes Googling where to find “the list”…
Jaime says
OMG TOO DAMN FUNNY!!! I may have to do a post like this one day… I only login into google analytics every once in a while to see what terms people are using to find my blog. I get a lot of dirty searches thanks to a few of my post…lol!!!
ConfusedJulia says
Hahaha yes that doesn’t surprise me. Is your main search term “how do I get on the chicken bus handy list”?? ;-P
Tracy Antonioli says
The strangest search term I found on my own blog was ‘Walt Disney World reticulated giraffe’. And I thought that was funny?!? That’s nothing compared to these! Ha!
Anthony Middleton says
HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHa!!
Loved this!!! My weirdest one: “cock guy USA”
I really struggle to think of a time when I typed these words in my blog!!
ConfusedJulia says
Hahaha wow. Just wow. Yeah, how some of these people stumble onto our blogs is beyond me. Seriously messed up 🙂
Angela says
lol this is hilarious, I have some pearls too, sometimes they arrive on my blog searching for the weirdest terms, I don’t really know why I come up on the search though! 😛
Rob says
Love it!!y domain pulls in weird ones too like boring life with my wife. He should clear that history.
Phillegitimate says
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……. the people finding my blog aren’t nearly so interesting (although a lot of them are looking for cocaine in bolivian prisons, but i actually did write about that).
Fanny sundae…… brilliant.
eriksmithdotcom says
This is too funny! I found your blog through you recent interview with the “Don’t Ever Look Back” crew- much less interesting than the ones listed above!
ConfusedJulia says
Well thanks for reading, even if it was from more conventional methods!
Poi says
Amazing!!!
Scott - Quirky Travel Guy says
I love analyzing search terms! Fanny sundae is my favorite. I like to really dig deep and try to figure out what compelled someone to use those search words. Doesn’t Fanny Mae make sundaes? That’s probably where that one came from.
ConfusedJulia says
Well I did actually write a post about Fanny’s Ice Cream in Vietnam, I think it comes from that. But it just sounds so wrong lol
Jodi says
This is way funny! I laughed the entire time reading the post. Your comments are even more hilarious than the searches!
ConfusedJulia says
Thanks Jodi!
