Okay, so I get this idea of the ‘Hot Potato Award’ (see a previous post) which I want to give to anyone who has nominated me for other awards. I thought it was quite a good idea, so I googled “hot potato” to get a free picture (because I had run out of potatoes of my own). So I found an appropriate picture but now I don’t know how to turn it into an award – to do the graphics thing with it – so, so far, I just have this picture of a potato.
But what I didn’t expect (when I googled “hot potato”) was to be led to a couple of porn sites. I found this rather startling because I didn’t know “hot potato” had connotations. I mean, how does an innocent, innocuous thing like a potato become a pornographic metaphor?
I will have to put my thinking cap on again. I thought maybe ‘Warm Potato Award’ or ‘Cold Potato Award’ but somehow these don’t have the same resonance.
Mmmmmm……..

It seems unbelieveable to me how the internet identifies words and links.
I am of the ‘old’ school when a ‘hot potato’ was a vegetable which you eat for a lunch or dinner..
Yes, I did get a shock!
you win for my best chuckle of the day with this one!! š
I got a bit of a shock when I accidentally entered the porn world which I quickly exited!
Gosh hope you don’t get on the lists now and receive lots of junk mail! It happened to me once — and I never recovered š
Oh nooooooooooooo!
just requires lots of deleating! Should really get a new email addy!
I just made a hot potato graphic with words on it for you. How can I get it to you?
You are wonderful! Can you email it to me at juligoyder@gmail.com
If it works you will be the first recipient!
Gotta go – back later – this is exciting – thanks Lisa! Jx
that is sad and hilarious at the same time. i would never have thought that googling a hot potato would bring up porn. hehe
Ridiculous! I am so naive!
i guess i am also!!! we learn something new every day, don’t we???
I laughed so hard when I read this. Imagine my shock a few years ago when I googled “3 Billy Goats Gruff” in order to get ideas for an art project for my kindergarten students and stumbled onto a porn site. I won’t share details but…yes, I’ve been nervous about clicking on search links ever since! LOL
Is nothing sacred any more? Haha – no wonder kids googling information on various school projects get waylaid!
FYI Don’t look up ping pong paddles either! My daughter and I did that when she was 10. More questions than I ever wanted to answer.
I am looking up ping pong paddles now – heehee (not really!)
I ran into a similar problem when I was researching information on chicks for my new flock.
Ha!
So if I say that I love a good hot potato, is that a bad thing? haha. And no, I haven’t checked what it is yet.
How about Inconspicuios Brown Paper Bag Award? teeheehee….Sorry, could not resist.
How about Cheeky Cherub Award just for you!!!!
Thanks for the great big snort that cleared my sinuses! š š
Hehehehehehe!
Thank you for my first giggle of the day! Too funny! Thanks!
Oh poor you. I know this is a big internet problem. What about a “Sweet Potato” award. You are so sweet to want to giveback to those that give to you.
That is a brilliant idea!
Hilarious! Thanks for the giggle…. My blog titles are my own little personal joke on the consumers of online porn. I think, “Ha I meant a turkey breast, not a human boob!” when I see some of the search terms that land people on my blog.
You are deliciously devious – hahahaha!
hilarious!
Who knew? But I’m convinced if you do more than three searches in a row, you find a porn site. There must be a nickname for anything and sex.
Weird world!
Cheeky Cherub delightfully accepts and is on the floor in fits & giggles. You my friend are hysterically funny and I love it so, And yes cheeky would describe me, but not so sure about cherub.
You are definitely a cherub!
Porn site?! How funny š It sure is a jungle out there
Go figure. Porn seems to worm its way in to a remarkable number of seemingly innocuous places.
And all my spam is now porny – yuck!
I get a lot of Viagra stuff, but at least it goes to spam…
I usually just empty the spam but the other day there were two legit. comments so now I have to scroll through all this weirdness just in case!
Porn sites, huh…who would have thunk? Not me.
