google interprets my email

[piranha]

today's gmail text ad is headed:

"Over 20 brands of Ukes"

*cackle*. ok, this is only funny to those of my fellow smut lovers who know that "uke" is the japanese term for the sexually receptive male in a homosexual coupling.

(the ad continues with: "UkuleleWorld2.Com - Fully Guaranteed or Money Back Uke Strings, Picks, Parts, Music".)

It is entirely your fault that I found that funny. My first thought was, in fact, ukeleles. But my second thought came pretty quickly after it, and you're wholly responsible for that.

*preen*.

a scant year ago "ukelele" would have been my first thought too. my second thought would have been "ukulele". gay men would have never even entered the ballpark. not even playing said instruments.

Now, you realize, I'm picturing one playing one. During other activities.

Idunno, do you want them to do better on that analysis or not?

do i want google to do better

egads, no. :) i wouldn't expect being led to better smut, and so what's the point.

actually i feel uncomfortable with them doing it at all. it's one of the things that keeps me from making gmail my primary email handler.

When Google goes BL, you know we've made it!

i am not sure whether to look forward to that or shudder at the idea.

i sorta like us flying under the radar.

Thats the word my sensei used to use all the time to mean "one who is about to assist me in demonstrating just how much this really hurts and how one should never volunteer." I think I finally understand.

this really hurts

*heh*. i would imagine that the martial arts terms "seme" (attacker) and "uke" (defender) came first, though i haven't checked out the etymology.

but nicely said. :)
