The Search For Sharp Nipples
Every once in a while, mostly out of idle curiosity, I take a glance at the Google Webmaster Tools page that shows me various bits of info about my Irregularly Verbal posterous pages. It's usually mildly interesting but today I was surprised to see at the top of the Search Queries list, that is ones that returned pages from my blog, the words sharp nipples.
Sharp nipples!? What the hell are sharp nipples? Well, okay, maybe we can take a guess, but more to the point is, have I ever written about them? The answer to that last question is, 'not as far as I can recall'. But if the almighty Google says it's the top search query for my blog then perhaps I should submit to a senility check, just in case it's come upon me without me realising (which I suspect is usually how it happens) and, as a consequence, I have written blog posts galore about sharp nipples.
However, the odd thing about it is that a Google search for sharp nipples (warning: some might find some of the search results offensive) doesn't throw up any references to my blog - not on the first couple of results pages at any rate, and I didn't delve deeper than that. So it remains a bit of a mystery, which seems like an opportune moment to insert a track I like by 10,000 Maniacs, this one featuring David Byrne and Natalie Merchant on vocals, singing Iris DeMent's Let The Mystery Be. The track can be found on Campfire Songs: the Popular, Obscure & Unknown Recordings
Let The Mystery Be by 10,000 Maniacs
Listen on Posterous
I can only conclude, on the basis that I have understood the lyrics correctly, that there must have been a bunch of Christians in the audience who entirely missed the point of this song (at around 50 seconds into it).
Think I'll just let the mystery be.
Addendum: For those of you who are itching to tell me I can restrict a Google search to my posterous pages, doing so returns the following result.
Your search - sharp nipples site:http://joswun.posterous.com - did not match any documents.
But, of course, that will quite likely change, now that I have written this post!
