Google THIS, Windows Live!
I don’t regret that someone took this photo of my friend and me in a swimming pool:
I don’t regret that I posted it on my blog when recapping my friend’s wedding in Tampa in March.
I don’t regret that Roosh described it as “so hot”.
I don’t regret that someone found the photo using Windows Live search.
I don’t regret that the photo showed up on Windows Live when someone searched for the term “wedding pool”.
I don’t regret that the person who searched for “wedding pool” not only saw this photo of two guys drunk in a hotel swimming pool but decided to click on it.
I don’t regret that this photo was cached or techno-saved or whatever it’s called when a photo turns up on some search engine.
But for the love of Christ…
Who doesn’t use Google?

Just the other week I was stunned when I asked someone (my age) to look something up on the Internets and he went straight to Yahoo!
I mean, Gosh! Why not just go to Excite.com, you antediluvian hack.
[P.S. Never did I think I’d agree so whole heartedly with Roosh… …so hot.]
Was Excite the one with the dog that “fetched” your information?
P.S. You are my 1,000th comment since I started this blog in March. Congrats, you get a drink on me tomorrow.

I’ve wondered the same thing when I look at stats. I mean Ask.com is good for school/papers-type searches because you can write a full question but yahoo? Or Windows?
You two do look very cozy and friendly in that pool.
It was a wonderful, inebriated moment of machismo and water.

What about Alta Vista? That shit was hardcore.
They still have a great Babel Fish translator I use.

Whatever. I’d still use Prodigy if I could.
My mom still uses Prodigy, which I find cute yet bizzare.

Where’s his other hand?
Pervert.

I’m not a perv….just a fan of the “reach-around.”
And you’re gay.
I’m going to start calling you Chester the Molester, perv.

Just as long as noone starts putting ‘the’ in front of things, we’ll all be okay. And I quote my mom: “Can you look that up on The Google?’
It’s common among people with Spanish backgrounds to insert that definite article; because el Google makes more sense.

Thanks for reposting this photo. If I ever see your friend in a swimming pool i will press my ass against the wall.

Roosh, just watch out for the jets. Nothing like a good enema in the pool.

Lycos was the search engine that had the dog that “fetched” your information.
BTW, I used google to look up search engines…
Yes, Lycos! Wow, that feels like forever ago.

This post was pure genius. I don’t usually laugh out loud when I read blogs … and then go back to read it again and laugh once more.
You’re definitely not reading enough blogs, then. Check out What Would J. Crew Do? on my blogroll.

Dude! Free drink! Are you trying to get me drunk and into the pool, too? Which is fine, so long as it’s me and the Princess in the pool this time.
Those pictures will most certainly hit the internets…
There’s no pool in Grand Central…but there should be.

I tend to avoid anything with the word “Microsoft” or “Windows” attached to it like the plague…

Last night I was enebriated and I decided to erase half of my photos on the internet. Do you think it’s too little too late to salvage my future career?
It probably IS too late for you, Irina, but this should serve as a warning to future bloggers.

I wanted to make a joke along the lines of: I only use Lycos blah blah blah, but I couldn’t think of a funny old, outdated search engine so I had to do a google search of “search engine lists.” It was helpful as always.
That’s pretty damn funny, actually.

Hey Ivan,
We met at the Happy Hour tonight (I am really drunk btw). This is Andy + Wes and we’ve agreed you’re pretty much the coolest guy in the bar. Thanks again for hanging out with us newbies and we’ll definitely see you at the next one.

How are those other search engines still around? It’s odd.
