Aside to AOL: Journals need a lot more "mood" options. Color this one "stressed," "contrite" and "amused":
A search for my sixth grade French teacher (I'll write about her later;
Vivian already knows the story but I want to flesh it out a bit)
accidentally turned up the following site:
http://www.googlism.com/index.htm
What it apparently does is collect bits of abbreviated search results
from Google for humorous effect. Here's a little one, based on a
private school in Manlius, NY (that's another story I'll have to tell
at some point):
Googlism for: manlius pebble hill school
manlius pebble hill school is a non
manlius pebble hill school is a prek
manlius pebble hill school is a junior at fairleigh dickinson university in madison
manlius pebble hill school is offering a variety of summer programs for ages 4
manlius pebble hill is central new york’s only non
manlius pebble hill is an independent day school
manlius pebble hill is a highly respected private school that calls dewitt home
manlius pebble hill is a highly regarded private school located in manlius
manlius pebble hill is a private
And a selection from the results for my maiden name:

Sadly, however,
Googlism for: mavarin
Sorry, Google doesn't know enough about mavarin yet.
Googlism was similarly ignorant of L'Engle, so I don't feel too
badly. It did have lots to say about "Joss" (not all of them
about Whedon), "Buffy" (ranging from extreme disapproval to extreme
approval) and Harlan Ellison (almost all complimentary). The site
obviously works best for subjects that hundreds of sites, uh, cite.
Have fun(k)!

Howard - your comment precipitated the longest sustained fit of laughter I've had in a long time. I never knew you were "the intellectual and spiritual heart of every african american." Good luck with that second aircraft, and congratulations on your unlikely ordination to the "preisthood!" Did they make you convert first? - K
