I couldn’t make this stuff up.
A good friend has a very special doll from her childhood that she would like to display, but its little arms/legs/head are no longer attached. With three daughters, I’ve done a fair amount of doll surgery, so I said I could try to fix it for her. So far so good.
Then I realized I would need a part to hold the head on, so I put in search query “screw type doll head connection.”
The internet was merciless. Now I need to boil my computer. And probably my eyeballs.
The worst bit?
After wading through search results for things I NEVER imagined could exist—sex dolls are astonishingly explicit apparently—I finally found the part needed. Only… the actual part is called a SCREWGLE. I hope it comes in a plain brown wrapper.
(You can’t begin to imagine the suggested emails and targeted adverts I’m now getting.)

Oh my Barb, sorry, but that’s hilarious. 😁 It’s a good thing you didn’t add the photo of the doll’s head peeking out the bag. I would hate to think what targeted adverts might have arrived for you then!

A friend of mine was upset that the email announcing the birth of her grandson was junked – the reason: his name is Willy.

I once needed a picture of torture to illustrate a history lecture, thumb screws, Iron Maiden etc. What came up were images of sexual bondage and accouterments the like of which I had never imagined. What do some people do behind closed doors?

Hysterical, Barb. Only the internet could send you off on a hilarious rant – or maybe not. The ferries for example…

A great example of where an innocent question can lead you. If ever your search history is examined by officials. . .

I made the mistake of searching for my favorite makeup one time online…Bare Minerals. Yes, I too had to boil my eyeballs.

I’m such an innocent, it took me a while to figure out why it was seen as anything other than innocuous. Now I can’t un-see it…

Oh yes, I can….. hilarious and weird. But entirely predictable too! Go wash your computer with something strong to expell the spam.
