Gogglewhackoff

Gary No Blog Yet Stock continues to develop his “googlewhack” thread. Googlewhacking, you may recall, is the attempt to come up with combinations of two common words that return zero hits in Google. (Gary lists a number of variations.) A correspondent, Cinnamon Brunmeir, suggests “schadenfreude primp” which turned up one one hit for her and no hits when Gary ran it. (Google suggests we might mean “schadenfreude primo” and turns up 66 hits.)

Suggestion for a geekoid party game: “Guess the GoogleBeans!” Come up with random phrases and have everyone guess how many hits will show up in Google.

We used to play a game in college. One person suggests word. Everyone guesses what the word immediately before it in the dictionary is. I recall this as being tremendous fun, but I also recall watching a particular curtain rod drop shiny liquid golden pellets as tremendous fun too.
