Onwards then with our little sojourn on memory lane. The second (and final, I promise) look at the various search terms that we’ve found amusing over the vast rolling plain of time that is the ten months that this blog has been running. So pull-up a fire, throw another log on the comfy chair and snuggle down in your favourite cake as you nibble on a festive jumper, and we will continue our reminiscences:
“how many times can you shapeshift into a cat (if your into those types of things)?”
Zoso: Seven. If you’re not into those types of things, eight hundred and six.
Melmoth: I can only assume that ‘shapeshift’ is someone’s very strange attempt at a euphemism. In which case, generally the cat will shred your testicles when it’s had enough.
“phoenix gate what do you do with the flag”
Melmoth: Run with it! You run, and you run, and run and run and run and run, and you keeping running and running until you get to Mourkain Temple. Then you drop the flag and get on with playing a decent scenario.
“warhammer online magus floating disc removal”
Melmoth: Sorry, you can’t remove it, you’re stuck with it. Negotiating latrines is left as an exercise for the reader.
Zoso: So, Mr Magus, you’d removed all your clothes in order to secure these “achievements”, and then you just happened to “slip” and “fall” on your disc? No, no, we’re not here to judge, the doctor will be down shortly.
“are we individuals?”
Melmoth: Yes! We are all individuals! I’m an individual and so is my wife.
Zoso: A: We are Devo!
“male female warhammer bug”
Melmoth: Mythic have confirmed that there will be male and female sexes when they release the new insect race, but nobody will be able to tell which is which, not even the bugs themselves.
“smiling how long can we do it.”
Melmoth: Four hundred years! Or two days. Or ten weeks! Or an hour. The Guinness World record for continuous smiling is seventeen days, eleven hours and twenty three minutes, and was only halted when the challenger’s face fell off.
“updated wii from dvd on accident”
Melmoth: I probably couldn’t help you even if I knew what the hell you’d managed to do.
“you must be this high “world of warcraft””
Melmoth: There are no known height restrictions for playing World of Warcraft. However, there is as yet no conclusive study as to how much crack cocaine needs to be consumed before a person can stomach the incessant end-game grind.
“asses are made to bear and so are you (what does it mean?)”
Melmoth: It means that I like pretentious post titles.
“disguise tips”
Melmoth: I always veer towards a Brian Blessed beard, glasses, deerstalker and an over-sized trench coat with a pillow stuffed down the front.
Zoso: I shapeshift into a cat (if I’m into that type of thing).
“i break things by accident”
Melmoth: Congratulations, you are clumsy! Had you instead told us that you break things on purpose, you would be a vandal. Thank you for taking the ‘Am I A Vandal Or Simply Clumsy?’ online personality test.
“i love her”
Melmoth: That’s… that’s not so much a search term, but a statement of fact. If you’re hoping Google will confirm that for you, well, maybe you need to search for “I need expert medical help” next.
Zoso: Google understands. Google says “there, there”, and would put a comforting arm around your shoulder, only Google is afraid it has no arms.
Melmoth: Also, Google knows that you don’t like friends to touch you.
“wii fit waste of money”
Melmoth: Again, are you asking or telling? Because Google really doesn’t give a flying frogspawn what you think. You do know this, yes?
Zoso: Google disagrees, Google rather enjoyed it. Google reduced its BMI by 2.47 through rigorous yoga.
“guild banks are rubbish in world of warcraft”
Zoso: Google thanks you for the information. Google will avoid using them, then.
“im stuck on act 1 at 27% in far cry 2”
Zoso: Google is sorry to hear that. Google suggests you Google for a walkthrough.
“great adventures i’ve had”
Melmoth: I certainly wish you good luck in finding the website that tells you all the great adventures that you had, I’m sure it’s out there somewhere.
Zoso: Previous searches possibly included “who am I?”, “where am I?” and “have you seen my trousers?”
“grats thanks”
Melmoth: You’re welcome.
“i love to accept my reward”
Melmoth: As the winner of Best Kiasa Search Term 2008, I award you the prestigious Frightened Rabid Skunk with Diarrhoea.
Zoso: “Learn”, I think you’ll find. Unless it isn’t a mondegreen, in which case Google agrees, Google loves to accept its reward too.
“killed over guitar hero”
Melmoth: I’m pretty sure we didn’t make a post about our last Guitar Hero get together, did we? That Google search engine is really very clever.
“who leaves strictly come dancing 29th november 2008”
Melmoth: My money is on Clement Attlee.
“to make a flaming torch”
Melmoth: Take one torch; here’s one I made earlier. Now – and this is the tricky part – set fire to it.
“survivors bonekickers”
Melmoth: Are both utterly rubbish and an embarrassment to the nation. I suggest trying Dead Set or IT Crowd to correct the balance.
Zoso: Survivors isn’t that bad. Apart from the writers inexplicable failure to kill Abby Grant despite so many opportunities.
“space chimps review kermode”
Zoso: They said “he gives all bitter, middle-aged film critics a bad name”. But they quite liked his stuff with The Dodge Brothers.
Melmoth: Space chimps would make the best reviewers, not least because anything they didn’t like could be vaporised by their orbital review station.
“low level bright wizard cape”
Melmoth: The year’s must have fashion item for the discerning Black Orc was indeed a noob Bright Wizard dangling down their back.
“melmoth”
Melmoth: Wait! This is the Best Kiasa Search Term 2008, give me back that Frightened Rabid Skunk with Diarrhoea, you.
