The Google Oracle
AKA: What’s Under Your Tree?
Just in time for Christmas? An alternative to sitting on Santa’s lap? This is a new take on “The Google Oracle” I posted in October. Type your name in a search engine like this: “Colleen needs” and see what Google divines for you.
Colleen needs a new computer.
Colleen needs to provide details.
Colleen needs a Job.
Colleen needs the final contact information by Tuesday.
Colleen needs to work on her computer skills and speed.
Colleen needs to know what your priorities are.
Colleen needs a head count for meals by Dec 27th.
Colleen needs a toe ring to go with those cute new sandals.
Colleen needs a race car "with shiny chrome for trim" that could just take her home forever.
Colleen needs to study her lingo during her free period.
Colleen needs a lime green frog.
Colleen needs help too!!!!
Colleen needs to move on!!!
Colleen needs a storyline.
Colleen needs more than a bucket of ice water.
Colleen needs a disco Ball around her neck and she'd look just like Dazzler.
Colleen needs a certain amount of money to make sure her programs are successful.
Comments
LOVE the disco ball one. That cracks me up.

Here via Michelle. I love the lime green frog one. Big fan of frogs.
Have you tried putting "Colleen loves" into Google? That's always fun as well. I've never tried the Google oracle, might have to do that soon.

I can never quite get these right - according to Google, I need a forum for urban design....
That can't be right! :-)

I put in my real name and got "needs to start to think outside of the regime she has lived in for the past decade and take some new steps." That is depressing. Glad to be back reading my favorite blogs although it will take some time to catch with all you prolific bloggers! Merry Christmas and Peace!

These are precious! Apparently I need a special box with my name on it and to work on my Togo dance. And, oh, so much else....

Very clever idea

Ohhh Wow! I'm going to try that Colleen right after I leave here! I hope all the things I need come up like they did for you! (lol)

Gee! I tried this and wouldn't you know it, it turns out that "I need a man!" Isn't that just ducky? In fact, I would rather have a ducky, or goose or anything but a man. (Been there, done that, not likely to do it again.)
Perhaps I will just forget the first one and see what else I need.
