Facebook Better Than Sex?!
In the realm of search terms, yes, searching for “facebook” is now more popular than looking up the term “sex.”
Pulp
Recent Promos
Some recent promotions I’ve seen or heard about.
- Buffmama.org. Saw the Buffmama mobile driving around, so I had to look it up. Buffmama is a personalized fitness trainer whose motto is “It’s not as hard as you think.”
- Knockouts Haircuts for Men. Coming to Hawaii soon I suppose since there’s a truck driving around emblazoned with the Knockouts logo and models.
- Who Is John Scott? You read the story about the 74-year old guy slapping stickers around that ask “Who is John Scott?” If I ever start making “What is Pulpconnection?” stickers, someone please stop me.
Word of the Day: Fauxcast
Here’s my fictitious word of the day, fauxcast. It means “a completely inaccurate weather forecast.”
Isn’t Hawaii under a flash flood advisory right now? It’s gorgeous blue skies and sunny outside. The meteorologist must have given a fauxcast.
Get it? Soon to be published at UrbanDictionary.com.
I Heart Twilight, Jacob, and Taylor Lautner
…if the Google Analytics stats for Pulpconnection indicate anything. See what I mean?
Of the recent top ten keywords, seven of them relate to Twilight, Jacob, and Taylor Lautner (and his underwear). I’m kinda surprised that Seth Sundberg aka Franco Metcalf made the list.
Oh by the way, New Moon rises on November 20, 2009.
Go ElfYourself Is Back!
Made yourself in to a dancing Christmas elf recently? No? Good think ElfYourself is back! More dances and up to five elves.

If Mark Dacascos Were a Starbucks Drink…
He’d be a tall, skinny Peppermint Mocha Twist! A refreshingly cool, mocha complexioned, non-fat drink with a kick. The only question then is would the drink be cool or hot?
Be sure to vote for Mark and his temporary partner, Anna Trebunskaya, as Lacey recovers from the flu.
There’s an App for That…
The litany of iPhone apps continues to grow and seriously, there is an app for that. My latest iPhone app additions:
- Gowalla. Since @hawaii said so.
- foursquare. The mobile way of getting to foursquare.
- Gap StyleMixer. I need style help.
- Pizza Hut. Order from The Hut from your iPhone.
- SnapTell. Take a pic of a book, DVD, CD and get online ratings.
Still looking for the new Toys R Us “Big Book” app, the one that lets you create and share your list of favorite toys (as seen in the Big Book itself).
I’m So Confused…
Are they together or aren’t they? I’m so confused.
In any case, how about a New Moon movie poster to remember Rob and Kristen in their Twilight immortality.
Sparkle Floam Is a Failure
Did your kids get any Sparkle Floam in trick or treat goodie bags? What a messy failure they are! So sticky and gooey, they’re a disaster in the making.
Sparkle Floam looks like Styrofoam grains mixed into glittery goo and reminds me of a kid-time novelty. Remember that tube of goo that came with a small straw? You’d put a wad of the stuff on the straw and blow greenish, reddish bubbles. Yeah that stuff. Smells the same too. Even with this memory trigger, Sparkle Floam is a failure.
Starbucks and HP Are Friends and Family?
Not quite a self-evident partnership but the coffee purveyor and the computer company have joined up to offer savings to its friends and family. By signing up at:
http://hpdirect.com/deals/friendsandfamily/starbucks
Starbucks friends and family can get deals on HP computers, laptops, printers, accessories and more. That is if you’re a fan of HP goods. I would’ve liked a coffee and fruit pairing better if you know what I mean.
