Scanning through Google Analytics is one of the highlights of my day. Having said that, I should just check what ostensibly remained as a normal social life at the door and resign myself to a desk shackled existence of blogging and nonsense.
While I was looking over the organic search results queries yesterday there was one that really jumped out at me – MacGyver Hydroponics. Clearly we have a rogue pot smoker in our midst looking for a half assed way to rig up a marijuana growing apparatus with merely a snorkel, bubble gum wrapper, paper clip, and a crowbar.
Normally I would have just laughed to myself and moved on, but Sy over at The Wheel is Turning but the Hampster is Dead, wrote up a post about interesting search results, and so here I am pilfering his idea. If you have not checked out his blog yet I recommend doing so, very funny stuff that will have you assured he is certifiably insane. Our brethren across the pond are crazy and not to be trusted.
Further investigation, which involved Googling MacGyver Hydroponics, showed that our industrious and frugal visitor was taken to Jack Gamble’s post about how to be best prepared when the zombies come. Jack Gamble? Who the hell is he anyway? While Jack’s post undoubtedly provided no insight whatsoever into MacGyver Hydroponics, it is worth mentioning that Jack Gamble is a MacGyver of sorts in his own right. The man who repeatedly throws himself overboard, can turn random household objects into the item of your every desire. If only there were household objects that could get him to blog… You know objects like a computer, power supply, and a wireless modem – except that is not very MacGyver at all. Perhaps I am onto something?
Today’s ultimately random search result – piss drinking mothers.

I get Toilet Slave results every day, so I am thinking of doing a post on them! Not sure how I can write a post about something like that inside of a site that I try to make readable to everyone, but it could be interesting if I decide to!
Now. I shall refer to my MacGyver Big Book of Building Stuff and make myself an uber bong.
Well whoever this Toilet Slave is, he is clearly a master of the custodial arts. This should make for one interesting post.
I have been thinking how I can do it ever since I wrote that comment…but everything I come up with will probably lose me a good half of my readers…and I need those 3 readers!
Don’t sell yourself short, you have at least 5 readers. Just ignore the fact that Jim counts as 3 of them.
I am trying to tap in to his other 8 voices. I get the idea my site is not their material, so maybe I need to broaden my horizons and see if I can snare them in!
Just write about a Toilet Slave who moonlights as a movie whore, but actually fancies himself a chef who contemplates the meaning of life.
Your obvious disdain for MacGuyver’s signature tool the Swiss Army knife is apparent as it was not once mentioned in your post. This blatant lack of recognition for a multi-faceted tool made famous by an Army that fights no one is enough to bring me out of blog retirement to defend the unsung hero of the series – the red handled pocket knife.
Jack, I would not call it disdain as it is more a matter of ignorance. While I remember watching MacGyver as a 5 year old (and enjoying it) I must be honest that I remember very little of the show itself.
Either way, if it brings you back it is all worthwhile! By the way, have you seen Jim’s latest post placing Star Trek on a pedestal over Star Wars?
