Not The intended Use by Levitating Potato

January 14th, 2008 10:48 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Use something but not for its intended use.

For those that are not aware of it, allow me to highly recommed xkcd. After reading this blag entry, I did a search for crush proof balls. I was mildly intrigued to find that not a single result was of the NSFW variety. Curious, I decided to see what else I could search for that seemed like it would produce NSFW results, but in fact did not.

I rapidly enlisted the help of some friends, and thus the game of Google Whacking Off was born. (Credit for the title goes to Doktor Harmon. It refers, of course, to the game of googlewhacking. And of course searching on the name produces SFW results.)

The rules were formalized, and we produced a smattering of entries. It's a text search (images are less interesting; the results are less SFW, so the queries that succeed are more boring). Quote marks are banned. Paid ads in the results don't count. Ten results per page. And, of course, be sure to turn SafeSearch completely off. The goal being to find the most innuendo-filled, suggestive, explicit, and generally amazing search strings that return entirely SFW results on the first page.

Here are a few that we've come up with so far:

bulk domestic cocks
shaft lubricant
world's largest nut
power man tool
ball oil
genuine nut oil
moist delicious balls
loose kitty
beaver fur
giant thrusting ballcock

diesel powered vibrator worked when we started, but now produces one NSFW result.

I'm sure you'll all agree this is not what Larry and Sergey had in mind.

So, fellow SF0ers, what can we add to the list?

deep hard cockfighting

If you're counting actual cockfighting as SFW.

(I suggested a task with the reverse of this back in glasnost, hehe)

I'm most impressed by giant thrusting ballcock, honestly.

Yeah.

I find that one most impressive because unlike the ones I found (power man tool, genuine nut oil, world's largest nut, beaver fur) it isn't something where you know what's coming and wonder whether any of the results will be NSFW - there's just no obvious thing for it to be about.

(Also, vote for XKCD)

This is my favorite result from that one.

"the piece has been highly recommended by the "Fijian Plumbing and Cake Decorating Weekly", who have given it their "pick of the month", and sent Keppler a bronzed ball-cock inscribed with a promise that, should he ever visit Fiji, he will never hunger for marzipan!"

Yeah, that's pretty awesome.

Hm, I've been meaning to do a super vote sometime... should it perhaps take the form of a bronze ball-cock inscribed with a promise of marzipan?

Xkcd is indeed nice. And adding another variant to googlewhacking definitely gets my vote.

That's funny. We sell a lubricant called Shaft where I work. I'll have to find out why that didn't come up on the search. (Probably 'cause they use "lube" instead of "lubricant".)
