Gentle readers, the ways of the internet are often mysterious to us, and none more so than the Google search terms that seem to guide you–well, maybe not you personally, but someone–to our Harpy nest.
These range from the oddly romantic:
the only thing I want to fight for is your love
Chris Brown rape Richard Simmonswhich race rapes morenaked old men yahoo e group
how to tell if I’m crazy
if hillary clinton had gray hair
harpy naked
Hiya gels,Just another misogynist troll surfing through here. Enjoyed reading your discussion. I’m right drunk, so this will be staccato and filled with non-sequiturs, but though I’m trolling I do mean it:
Cosmo – sucks
A lot of women – suck
and therefore are whores.
You guys are possibly OK
possibly.
How sweet is that? Possibly OK! Maybe not whores! Cosmo sucks! Hey, at least we can agree on one of the above. And we do appreciate the time and effort he put into it, especially as it goes on for another seventeen increasingly bizarre and disjointed lines.
So thanks to the interwebz for bringing us all together!
Now some of y’all, please go away.
LOL= this was fantastic. I especially liked the “I’m right drunk”- not too sure, but reminded me of my high school/small village fishermen friends. Hah!
sigh. That was great.
Also- as a side note: We live next to a Pentacostal Church that posts weekly “god” blurbs on their outside board. My fiancé and I read them and snicker often. This week: “God wants great men who are small enough to use”
I guess this means us women are off the hook. Thank the Goddess for that. lol.
I love this feature.
It interests me that “how to tell if I’m crazy” leads one to this site. The others are somewhat understandable, at least from a keyword perspective.
The Richard Simmons one is perhaps the all-time best. Because really, WTF?
Please to post the entire troll comment, because that is some good shit, right there.
Possibly.
@maisnon: You are possibly okay. Possibly. And I am not a whore.
I think I’ve found a new favorite blog. I found it by searching for more feminist while not studying for finals.
Well *I* came here to talk about knitting and silent movies. *prim*
No, well not really, but I totally will if the opportunity strikes. I think I actually found my way here from Feministe or Feministing or something.
I found this website by typing “Where my bitches at?” into Google and then pressing the “I’m feeling lucky” button.
@maisnon: I should run it three lines at a time so it reads like a troll-y haiku. It’s some totally weird shit.
And welcome to all you new readers! Whether you found your way here from Feministe or Feministing or Womanist Musings or just by typing “caterwauling bitches” into a search engine, we’re glad to have you!
You think YOU guys get weird shit? Try writing a blog that occasionally talks about sex.
I just love your google results because they often have NOTHING to do with what your site is about.
This: “A lot of women – suck
and therefore are whores.”
is. awesome.
And I found it by googling, “The hottest bitches on the web that routinely caterwaul about the patriarchy.” This was OBVIOUSLY the number one result.
I really wonder what page of the results they were on by the time they clicked through to here from those searches, but I don’t wonder enough to google those things myself and see.
“Naked old men yahoo e group” huh? Do you Harpies have a secret hobby you’d like to share with us?
@Blondegrlz: I blame sarah.of.a.lesser.god for that one. She’s probably been searching for naughty pictures of William Hurt.
I found y’all because SarahMC posted links at Shakesville.
I would like to also call to see the rest of the trolly haikus. Also, if you have his real name, (because I am mean like that) I would google him, find his place of employment and possibly anonymously let them know what he thinks.
I’m of the opinion that stupid should be painful. How else will they learn?
@Dori: You are a vindictive harpy after my own heart. If he does it again, I may expose him.
Generally our troll policy is to delete rather than to give them the attention they crave. Most of them are just internet flashers getting their jollies out of provoking an outraged response.
But if there are more votes for weird-ass troll haikus, I might be persuaded.
@Becky: I don’t need to google that! I just need to do a freeze frame on Altered States! Ahem.
Becky – Here’s another vote in favor of the entire haiku!
What’s troubling me lately is the dozens of variations on “Jesse Logan naked pics” (“Jesse Logan fucking,” “Jesse Logan nude,” etc.) that are entered into Google.
I’m pretty sure our woman and Cosmo hating troll entered an email address that includes his first and last name, so yeah, I Googled him. Naughty naughty, Mr. ____ ____.
@SarahMC: Oh God, those were so disturbing. That person deserves troll status. Fucked-up troll status.
Being vindictive. Its better than coffee!
Another vote here to see the rest of the troll poetry! Drunken troll poetry, no less.
I am actually impressed that drunk troll could still spell non-sequitur and staccato.
Does anyone else get rankled by the ubiquitous use of the word “guys” when referring to a group of all women or a group of mixed genders? Especially when it is said/written by a woman to other women. Irritating.
Breaking news, folks: LANGUAGE MATTERS. What are some good, non-gendered alternatives?
katie80: I’ve been thinking about this recently, and may do a post on it (or related to it). “Guys” is a habit, yes, and one I’m trying to break myself of. I don’t like “ladies,” particularly (because of the lady/woman dichotomy), so I tend to use “chicas” or “y’all,” ’cause I did spend a portion of my life below the Mason-Dixon line.
Yay! Looking forward to the post. I use “y’all” as well, even though I’m a Yankee.
Heh, Katie80andstuff, “Language Matters” is the title of one of my posts here. It’s a phrase that’s always in the back of my mind.
Add me to the “y’all” fan club. It’s the only decent second-person plural there is in English. And since I’m in NYC now, I figure I have to represent my home state just a little bit…
