An old coworker sent me this image today, along with this note: “Don’t ask why I was googling for ‘smiing jerk,’ I swear I have a good reason.”
Yeah, that’s me on page 3 of the search results. Go figure! It makes me curious as to what other phrases make my image turn up. I’m hoping for “voluptuous babe.” (ETA: This is really real, not an April Fool’s joke.)
In other news, congratulations to Alexandra from Pennsylvania who won the Weight Watchers POINTS Pedometer. There were 200 entries and if I’d known the pedometer was that popular, I probably would have auctioned it off instead. (Mama’s got to pay for kitty litter.) My ignorance is your gain! Or (weight) loss, hopefully, I suppose.

It’s amazing what an innocent “search” will show up. Actually, I think that’s a great photo of you, sans the red “X”. =^..^=

That’s kind of funny, in a weird sort of way. Now I am scared to go out and do a Google image search… am I on page 1 for “smiling jerk?” I hope not, but the question is, will I Google it to find out? :-)

am I the only one that actually went and googled “Smiling Jerk” myself to see your picture? I have a couple things to point out..
#1: You’re now on page 2
#2: You’re not a “smiling jerk”
#3: Google “bendable celery” and see what comes up.
#4. YOU MAKE ME SMILE

You’re back to page 3 now. I admit, I have googled random things just to see what comes up. Yes, it’s a sad, sad life.
I’ll click on your ad’s to help pay for the kitty litter. :-)

If you type in “smiling jerk” in quotes and search google images, you are all over the place–including a weird picture of feet on page 5 that are not YOUR feet. wtf?
(there are also many other weight-loss bloggers on those pages…so you are in good company!)

@Kathy W. – I think by blogging about “smiling jerk” I have now completely skewed the image results. I bet if I did blog about “voluptuous babe” I’d start showing up there too.

That is…. awesome! :) And it’s better to be a smiling jerk than a frowning jerk!
