Tonight we were watching Michael Phelps win a gold medal…..again….. and watching his mom cheer him on……..again…..when I wondered out loud, “I wonder where his dad is. Maybe I’ll google him later.” This resulted in Damion saying, “You mean you’ll use the search engine Google .” I said, “No, I’ll google him. (pause) I guess I could Yahoo him.” This caused Damion to laugh and suggest that I could, “Alta Vista him or Cuil him.” But the funniest suggestion? I could Dogpile him. So, when you require a search engine, what do you use and do you use Google as a verb too? BTW – His dad (Fred) and his mom (Debbie) are divorced. His dad worked for the Maryland State Police. Basically all I know now that I didn’t before I “Googled” Michael Phelps is his dad’s name and former occupation. My new question? Why does everybody use his first and last name when talking about him? By now don’t you think most people watching the Olympics would know who you were talking about when you said “Michael” or “Phelpsy”???? Hahahahahahahahaha. As I was finishing up this post I was laughing at myself and Damion asked why. I told him he would find out soon but it was going to take a bit. He asked if I was inserting links for all the search engines. How did he know? I have to prove to yous guys they exist, right? Then he said (ready for this?), “Don’t forget you could e-bay him!” Hahahahahaha……Oh the hilarity in this house at 12:40 am.

I do believe that they added "google" to the dictionary this last year as a verb to be used EXACTLY how you used it.
So.. I'll put GAS in my car, and GOOGLE phelpsy.. hehehehe

I don't get it...why is putting "GAS in my car" at all funny or related...
psst mrshake don't forget "Please keep the topic of messages relevant to the subject of the article"
I almost always use google, and yes I too use Google as a verb. Although there's a s search engine out there that donates to our rescue group everytime you use it...I just wish I could remember what it is... |
