One of the most fun things about writing a blog is checking the statistics page and figuring out how people find me. It’s great to see what people type into their google searches that lands them right smack on my blog. Mystifying how that google works, actually.
For instance, here are a just a few recent ones…
Say come to crazy
I have never, as far as I know, said come to crazy. But I’m thrilled that google sends people to me who are interested in ordering around crazy.
Do psychic reading tell the truth
Hmmm. I have often wondered this myself.
Explanation subprime mortgage humor funny
We’re all looking for a little humor funny lately over the subprime mortage explanations.
Ultrasound pictures of baby picking nose
See? I didn’t even know there were such things!
Ivory snow detergent and dinosaurs
You could go a long time without linking these two objects in any kind of coherent way.
What funny things people say when they are having a colonoscopy
You mean like, “When is this going to be over, and is my insurance really going to pay for this?”
Belief that inanimate objects are out to get us
Well, sure.
Is the word fixin to really a word?
Well, yeah. Where I come from, “fixin” is one of the main words you need to get through the day. It means something that hasn’t quite happened yet, it’s “fixin” to.
Banging a unicorn
Some things you don’t even want to think about…
Man woman this life is short wake up one day on a day everything wish for gone just like people get old and situations changing feelings for you look right now gone just like that
This is obviously a person who doesn’t know that with google searches, you don’t have to type in every word you’ve ever heard of. But how did this lead anybody to ME?
Solid lump under dog’s tail.
Yuck.
Show me a saltfish head
Okay, I haven’t wanted to talk about the saltfish thing, because–well, I don’t exactly know what a saltfish IS. But at least 20 percent of the people who want to find salftish pictures end up coming to sandishelton.com. And why? And why do scores of people every day want these photos?
The love of a good colonoscopy
Ah, yes. It used to be we desired the love of a good man or woman. But once you’re over 50, all anyone craves is the love of a good colonoscopy.

This is hysterical. In fact, I’m going to go and start an indie band right now, just so I can call it “saltfish head.”

Great idea! I’ll play the tambourine.

Hey! I just was listening to a tape on how American English evolved and there was a whole explanation of where “fixin’ to” came from as an idiom. Which I have promptly forgotten.
However, I can tell you where ‘Y’all” came from. English doesn’t differentiate between the second person singular and second person plural. Both are “you.” But many African languages did. So many early black Americans added the “all” to the second person plural to make the distinction.

Okay, I thought I could find the “fixin” explanation but I can’t. But when you add “a” in front of something — like “I’m a-fixin’ to go.” — that from the Gaelic of the early Scots Irish.
