I suggest a “Google Spam Day”. Every webmaster on planet to submit one spam page to Google (via sitemaps). That way we shall keep Matt, Adam and Brian busy for the rest of the year :)

———

This pirate walks into a bar with a big ship’s wheel down his pants. The bartender says, “Excuse me, sir, but do you know you have a ship’s wheel down the front of your pants?”

And the pirate says…
Aaargh, it’s driving me nuts!!

I was just searching for concession trailer plans florida and found the # 1 site Google has ranked www3.dollarn.cn/concession.html . This site redirects you to a spyware download that loads automatically.

I almost made me parrot walk the plank for finding such a site in Google.

OT:
How do I get rid of all Google books and videos in your search results? I don’t want to see them there since they are NOT relevant to what I am searching for!
I don’t understand why you mix in all that. I didn’t ask for it! Did anyone else ask you to do it? Is there any research you can show that people want to see that type of stuff in your search? What you show is your own stuff. YouTube, Google videos. Google books. What’s next? Google Movies? Google Animal Planet? Google Entertainment? Google Classifieds or result from Google Base? It’ll just be stuff from your own company. Who want’s to use Google in the future then? I know I won’t and people in my company are not allowed to watch any type of videos so to us it is totally useless. Books? If want anything about a book I go to a bookstore! If I want to watch a video, I don’t go to Google to search for it. I go straight to YouTube (at least I did but not anymore since there are better ones that has more fresh content than YouTube).
Needless to say, I am disappointed with your search result now, so if you have something I can use to get rid of all the c**p, then I REALLY would like to know how to do it!

The average man will bristle if you say his father was dishonest, but he will brag a little if he discovers that his great-grandfather was a pirate

Life’s pretty good, and why wouldn’t it be? I’m a pirate, after all

My saying ((who are the real pirates of the land – sea – web
the truth is the web is full of them the land even more the sea is problem the only place where there not many pirates.

Here are some great ones for you!

Top Ten Pickup lines for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day
(We came up with these in an effort to interest The Other Dave (Letterman) in TLAPD. His staff liked ‘em, but alas, his show was”dark” the week of Sept. 19.)

10 . Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?

9. Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm?

8. Come on up and see me urchins.

7. Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you.

6. I’d love to drop anchor in your lagoon.

5. Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole?

4. How’d you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?

3. Ya know, darlin’, I’m 97 percent chum free.

2. Well blow me down?

And the number one pickup line for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day is …

1. Prepare to be boarded.

Yeah, this game is fully accessible to blind and vision impaired players. Spread the word!

So get ye prepared for meeting some zippy pirates from the High Seas.

Argh!

I started a cyber clinic for ‘Googbies’ (evolved webmasters) that were suffering from Post Google PR Update Disorders. The extremely long wait since the last PR update has caused us to deplete our cash resources, as well as, our stockpiles of various treatments (alcohol, bubble wrap, etc…). I’ve also lost all of our volunteers due to psychological problems of their own!

Can I count on Google to assist me in getting the clinic ready to handle the expected record numbers of Googbies stricken with Post Google Page Rank Disorders!? I think it’s the least Google can offer since it has made the situation worse by dragging this on and on.

For more information on the clinic visit this thread on DP:

Thanks,

When up the shrouds the sailor goes
And ventures on the yard
The landsman who no better know
Believe his lot is hard
Bold Jack with smiles each danger meets
Weighs anchor heaves the log
Trims all the sails belays his sheets
And drinks his can of grog
…aaargghhh
