Accidental Google Seppuku: A twitter Story
By Since I’m the biggest no-life-having-jagoff of the authors here, I was wondering if you all wanted share your Google Sepuku stories with everyone on the internet. Well, sort of. I’m not talking about specifically about Google Seppuku; actually, I was wondering is if you’ve ever typed something completely innocuous into the Google search box and ended up seeing something you wish could unsee or at least could have braced for. It’s happened to me several times (“Persian kittens”: not always adorable felines), but the last time it happened it ended up being sort of a blessing/curse, ‘cuz I knew I could juice the experience for some comedy.
Note to self: Googling “pocket bears” may get you some results you a.) weren’t expecting b.) would be ok with not seeing.

See, I was looking for a segment of a P.F. Tompkins standup routine where he talks about owning tiny, genetically modified bears. So I Googled “pocket bears.” I think you see where this is going. If you don’t, I urge you NOT to Google “pocket bears.”

Similarly, I was wondering if any of you have ever typed in anything “sketchy” and come up with nada. It’s happened to me.
True Thing That Happened on the Internet: I visited a website called “Rugged Butts” that was NOT about rough assplay. #MiraclesDoHappen

Why do I wonder these things? Well, because I’m bored, nosy and the LGM overlords are ok with me posting stuff like this on the weekend.
Please don’t Google “bored and nosy.”
