I Am Easily Amused

All righty, internets.

Since I have absolutely NOTHING to write about except for the fact that my husband is suffering from a man cold (hello, congested husband-of-mine! Happy Birthday! Alex and I are going to wrap up some decongestants for you right after we finishing making you a cake from cough drops!), I thought I’d elaborate on a topic Big Mama and I discussed in our last podcast and share a little of my search engine term joy with you.

And for those of you who have asked how I can tell what terms people are using to find my blog, it’s all because of the handy little WordPress blog stats plug-in. It tracks all the terms and keeps them in a lovely little list that’s organized by date. The actual search engine isn’t specified – so there’s no way to know if the search came from Google or Yahoo or MSN or wherever – but when you’re dealing with this kind of humor, who cares?

After all, this is some serious interweb treasure.

boomama, all.the. talking
boomama, the talking, talking
boomama, always talking

I think I should probably be offended.

I mean, I know brevity is not my gift, but still.

After all, I am quiet for SEVERAL WHOLE MINUTES a day.

is it okay to use cream cheese from may

I’m going to go out on a limb and say no. Because that would mean your cream cheese is about eight months old.

And really, when you’re dealing with processed dairy items, you can never be too careful.

I are test you for internets. (OH NOSE)

Come again? (OH EYES)

don’t y’all love paula

You know, I do love her. To pieces. I just love her to pieces.

bangs scrunchies tight-roll jeans

No.

Just say no.

listen to Cici Winans

OKAY!

a picture of santa under a tree

Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of Santa under a tree.

However, I do have this.

You’re welcome.

Can Ash Wednesday be shifted?

You know, I think you’ll probably have to take up that particular question with God.

I’m sure He’ll be absolutely delighted to hear from you.

how long is bacon fat good for?

I have no idea, but judging from this question, I think you and I may be related.

I have medium blonde hair. I colored it

ME, TOO!

You’re going to be right at home here.

sneakers you going to feel pain

I’m certain that sneakers across the world just cowered in fear.

And they probably made a phone call to their tough and rugged boot friends.

Consider yourself warned, trash talker.

Consider yourself warned.

rap for my friend Brianna

Well.

Um.

Okay.

If you insist.

This rap is for Brianna, and I’m here to say
That rap is not my thang on the best of days.
Plus Brianna is a stranger and I think you know
That it’s hard to kick it freestyle so I guess I’ll go
And eat some more fried chicken, drink a diet Coke.
‘Cause you know I love some food and that ain’t no joke.
Yo, Brianna. Yo yo, Brianna.
Yo, Brianna. Yo yo, Brianna.
Never change.

Word.

  1. Hysterical! Thanks for the laugh, especially the rap. That was priceless.

    Leslie

  2. Man, it’s everybody’s birthday in January! HB2U, BooMama’s husband!

  3. Okay, so I just thought you should know about this very important event. Dh and I stopped to eat at Popeyes the other night, and I thought of you. It was the same day you posted about the thingy at church with the trays upon trays of chicken tenders. It was like we shared a mutual fried-chicken-bond that bridged the geographical distance between us. I just felt you should know about such a tender moment. (Oh yes, I am that punny.)

    ~Bev~

  4. Oh, and I love me some BooMama freestyle rappin’.

  5. Word to your muthah!

    Here are the most recent search terms for us:

    bible story farmers preparing for rain

    lemon teeth drunk

    poopy diaper changing daycare

  6. You are hysterical!! Love the rap.

  7. HAHAHA — loved the rap. Wish I could throw down like that, but I can’t. It’s against my religion. Well, not really, but it should be.

  8. Oh . . . oh. my!! This is one of the many reasons I keep comin’ back for more and more of “the talking”! How I love your sweet, now rappin’ self, Sophie.

    Now, I’ll go put my hat on backwards, bust a move with the Ab Ripper and eat a BLT, heavy on the B.

    Right after I wipe the tears of laughter from my eyes, not “NOSE”.

  9. I love it when I can laugh out loud. thx

  10. Does the talent never end? I just had no idea…you’re a true Renaissance Woman.

  11. Butterbean says:

    Oh.my.goodness. I almost woke my 3-yr-old up from her nap laughing at the rap!

    The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire

  12. Oh my good Lord in heaven. You kill me!
    No, literally, you almost killed me – I half inhaled a piece of chicken while reading the rap. ;)
    Thanks for the laughs!

  13. Lori Leigh says:

  20. Oh my…I laughed so hard. I LOVE the rap!

  21. Was having a bummer of a day until I stopped by here. I’ve had a good belly laugh and I’m all set now, thanks!

    Wonderful stuff.

  22. It takes a lot to make me laugh, but you do it daily. Thanks for making me smile!

  23. Oh my word! That is hilarious!

  24. You’re a mess, a talented mess, but nonetheless a mess!! Thanks for the laugh!!

  25. I’m laughing so hard!

  26. Yo yo, dog.
    That rhyme was off the HOOK!
    You’ve got mad skillz.
    Word to your (Boo)Mama.

    Fo Shizzle!!

  27. BOODADDY AND I HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY!!!! It would make my day if you commented on my baby blog. Happy Birthday Boodaddy!

  28. Awesome. And funny. Lately, the majority of searches for my site have included “popping zits.”

    Perfect.

  29. Tater and Tot- “Fo Shizzle”…. I love it!!!!

    Stinkin’ hi-larry-ious… the whole dang thing. Thanks for the laugh!!

  33. Oh my stars. You’re one funny mamma!

  34. Girl. Your nothing beats my something anyday…

    And I do believe that DYM now has a contenda for her rappin’. I smell a blogging smackdown…

    And Happy “Foggy-Headed” Birthday to David. May he get all the clear passages he can stand for his birthday.

  35. Oh my, did that had me laughing!

  36. Bacon fat, cream cheese, rap,all the talking, sneakers…Quite eclectic

    I usually get is variations on:
    Mary Osmond hairstyle
    Marie Osmond bangs
    Marie Osmnd hair cut

    And sadly, a couple “dungeon girls” searches.

  37. Bacon fat, cream cheese, rap,all the talking, sneakers…Quite eclectic

    I usually get variations on:
    Mary Osmond hairstyle

    And sadly, a couple “dungeon girls” searches.

  38. I could post my comment a third time but that might seem repetitive.

  39. Okay, the rap had me in tears … from laughter! You are crazy!!

  40. I so rarely truly LOL when reading funny stuff, but girl you were making me LOL like I hardly ever LOL.

    Funny, funny stuff.

  41. Nice rap! I think you may have found a new career path!

  42. These other bloggers going to Uganda…..um they just DON”T KNOW what they are up against. Their lives will truly be changed having spent time with you! You are a hoot, girl.

  43. Holy canoli, made me spit my diet coke!!! And I am not sure that peein’ my pants in front of my potty training child woulda been such a good idea but I laughed so hard I almost did!!!! Woo, thanks Mama, I needed that!
    I was actually found through a search for how to cure pampered chef stones … but my blog was about curing cradle cap (with a pampered chef rubber scraper – not my proudest moment but it worked!!!
    Go, Boo, Go Go Boo Mama
    WORD!

  44. Oh you wild throwin’ down mama you! The rap is worthy indeed (don’t use the word worthy about a white woman rap and our savior in the same paragraph though because that might be blasphemy). Love it and I am certain Brianna is tickled to the cockles of her lil heart. About the frightened sneakers – I think it must have reached my sneakers ’cause I’m about to climb under a chair to retrieve the one who managed to run away. Evil lurking everywhere nowadays. Go Sophie, Go Sophie – woo hoo woo whoo – and yeah.

  45. Oh, that was truly a work of art!

  46. I sucked in a whole wedge of lemon, and it wasn’t one of those small ones neither, when I read your “rap, yo.” I about died!!!

    My eyes are still watering and I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to have lemon in my water ever again, because as I just said, I. ABOUT. DIED.

  47. I am just left with one question: WHY would people search for ‘sneakers you are going to feel pain’? Why?

    Hilarious, as usual, by the way.

  48. I just almost snorfed coffee out of my nose, Sophie! Your funniest post today so far. ;o)

    xoxo

    Diane

  49. PS: Happy Vick’s Salve and Hall’s cough drops Day to D. Hope he feels better soon.

  50. You are just too funny! The only thing better than reading BooMama’s rap would be hearing it!!!

  51. A timely joke from my ten year old son…

    “What do rappers eat for breakfast?”

    “Cheeriyo-yo-yos!”

    Love the rap- I think you may have some untapped talent there BooMama!

  52. Word up!

  53. LOL! Thanks for making me laugh! I needed that!

  54. I’m bustin’ a gut over here, too funny! Would love to know what the plug-in is called.

    Laura (orgjunkie)

  55. girl…. you got mad rappin’ skilz.
    especially for a white girl from the south.
    yo.

  56. I think you’ve discovered your hidden talent, dear sweet Southern Sophie.

    I also think some of the world’s greatest humor can be found in search words. My most common one is usually something about “a bump on the roof of mouth,” thanks to a silly post I did last summer about a bump the doctor said was harmless on the roof of Troy’s mouth… now I get several of these searches (and even emails about it) every day. Go figure.

  57. laughed all the way through and then you killed me with the rap.

  58. Oh my.

  59. You and BigMama are cracking me up today! I loved this post so much. I laughed out loud at the sneakers thing and Jackson started laughing too.

  60. Get the hubby a bottle of Mucinex DM. Great for the man cold and better than the cough drops. Also, put some Vicks Vapor Rub on the souls of his feet, put socks on, stops the cough at night. No kidding! Love the rap!!

  61. I thought, no she’s not gonna rap. And you did. And I enjoyed it! MC Boomama rocks!

  62. I think that may be your funniest post ever. And that’s sayin’ something.

  63. I am new here, and I wanted to say that I loved it! Too funny! Thanks!

  64. the rap – too funny

    i have gotten a search that contained the word “satan”. well i guess that is what you get when you are married to the pastor

  65. You have a gift. Truly. Don’t squander it. The world is too much in need of good rappers.

  66. I second (and third and fourth, etc., etc.) all the kudos for you being hilariously funny and making me laugh. And, for the record, I read the post to my hubby and HE laughed. That ReALLY proves that this was some funny stuff – he’s not a big laugher!

    OH, and, hey, will you write a Lisa rap? Brianna’s was SO GOOD!

  67. The rap, Oh the rap GOT ME! Too Funny!!!

  68. And, you do amuse us with your rappin’ self! Loved the laugh!

  69. I am most impressed with your spontaneous rap-ability. We could call you “Johnny-rap-on-the-spot.” And the fact that you are a sutherner and can rap on the spot is, well, extraordinary. Thank you for sharing that hidden talent with us!

  70. Wow! You should do like Steven Curtis Chapman did and hook up with D.C. Talk to perform your own rap song! That was great! :o) :o) :o)

  71. kelli in the mirror says:

    Your next podcast should include the rap for Brianna, because I really think we need to hear it for the full effect.

  72. What up, Word?

    (that’s my word now, you know that, Word)

  73. Thank you for the best laugh in a while!!
    I love looking at the terms people use and find my blog with. Crazy! :)

  74. remind me not to be eating while reading your blog, although it may be too much info, I thought that id share.. as I read those, i laughed so hard a fry came flying outta my mouth onto the screen, therefor making me get up and clean thus screen, and it was SO worth it!

  75. you are so weird – and I LOVE it!

  76. This is why I show up everyday. You keep me laughing!

  77. You never cease to amaze me! I have often thought (the whole 2-3 months that I’ve been reading said blog) that you couldn’t possibly get any funnier. Imagine my shock and suprise when I read today’s RAP and realize..oh yes..yes mam.she can only get funnier..each.and.every.DAY!!!!!

    LOVE it!!

  78. Yo—yo—yo
    you are welcome to pop over to my crib
    and rap with my peeps anytime
    from one home girl to a’nother~

    I laughed- I snorted- and then had to run to the potty!

  79. how cool. I’d love to know how people find me!

  80. I think that impromptu rap just about did me in!

    And I got a search term today that was: “I’ve been waitin’ all night long just to talk to you”

    a little creepy perhaps?

  81. Oh the laughter! My sides and my face hurt from the laughing. You can rap anytime on my watch.

    Word.

    (More hysterical laughter)

  82. oh my. you are one funny lady.

  83. That is one of my favorite things about WordPress. You might be delighted to know that since my blog is The Diaper Diaries and I post a weekly marital sex challenge, I often find very creepy “sex with a diaper” and “my husband makes me wear diapers” inquiries. Ew.

  84. I just had to leave a comment on this one, I hope you don’t mind since you have no clue who I am. I first witnessed your hilariousness on your comments to the LPM blog. I clicked on your name and found your blog. I just love it, I haven’t encountered such witt in long time! Keep it up girl!

  85. Oh my. I’m laughing out loud.

  86. Kelly in Carrollton, GA says:

    LOVED THAT!!!! Oh my goodness, you are so much fun! Thanks for a great spirit-lifter, Boomama. Your talents NEVER cease to amaze!! That rappin’ is genius. Kelly

  87. H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S.

  88. I was “This” close to coming by last night from “can’t stop farting,” while looking for you on “can’t stop eating.” I just thought that’d be a hoot. Ahem. Ok!

    Also I was going to tell you that someone came by yesterday looking for “shoddish dancing” to my blog and they stayed for 25 minutes. Hee hee!

    Praying for David to feel better real quick and HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
    Praying for your things and stuff :)

  89. Lol too funny!! Especially the rap.

  90. And just when I think it can’t get any better…

    I had no clue you could busta move.

  91. I have not laughed that hard in a very long time.

    The search terms: very funny.
    Your responses: hilarious.

  92. oh gravy. you are a TRIP!

  93. “I laughed, I cried.. it moved me Bob.”

    TO TEARS! HYSTERICAL, GIGGLY TEARS!

  94. This made me truly LOL…which reading generally does not do. Funny post, Soph!

  95. Take heed, ‘cuz she’s a lyrical poet.

    Do you beat box too?

  96. Thanks for the link to the “Man Cold”. That was so sad how true it really is. I made hubby watch it last night and he tried REALLY hard not to grin and confirm that Yes, that is He.

  97. Oh Boomama, you are just too funny! you always make me laugh! You must be a rapper at heart to come up with one so spontaneously like that!

  98. Yo, Boomama – sup!
    Loved the rap.
    “Can’t stop eating” still wins, but those gave me a giggle too.

  99. Are you gonna rap for us on one of your podcasts??? Because HYSTERICALARIOUS (I just had to make up that word b/c hysterical wasn’t enough and hilarious wasn’t either) as reading that whole thing was, HEARING you perform it would be even so much better!!!!! : )

  100. Tears of hilarity running down faces. Laughter. Fried chicken. Yep.

    Word!
