Today's game is a variation of one that I play a lot. Usually, in this game, I do a basic search for two words and report on what I find.
Today I am going to limit it to finding the exact phrase. In other words, I am going to weed out any pages that simply have the two search terms anywhere. This time, they must show up side by side.
Today's Search Phrase: Garish Bunny.
No. 1 is an article from the New Yorker: www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/artworld/2008/03/17/080317craw_artworld_schjeldahl -
Their use of "garish bunny" is in this line: "We see him prevailing on polite pedestrians in Japan to pose for the camera in garish bunny masks. You want to slap him."
No. 2 goes to an article on Desijournal.com. The article is called: Nine Nights’ Wonder By Sujatha Sundar.
She has this line: Having religiously celebrated Easter (garish bunny cutouts on windows, color changing plastic eggs), Halloween (brilliantly tacky neon pumpkins lit in the lawn, yards of fake spider webs dangling from our trees) and Christmas (fake Xmas tree threatening to fall apart) for five years, I decided it was high time I started setting up a kolu (doll display) during Navaratri.
No. 3 is disappointing since I could not find the search phrase or even the individual search terms on the page. Anyway No. 3 is Madame Lamb: March 2008 which is about the Australian indie music scene.
No. 4 is a German site. From the description in the results, I can see that they do have the two search words, but not the phrase. They have some kind of a list. Here is part of it: Wohnzimmer Records, Ernst Molden und Band, CURBS, dAVOS, Garish, Bunny Lake, alle die ich jetzt vergessen habe, und vor allem
If you speak German, maybe you can make sense of it.
That is all the returns for the search phrase, Garish Bunny. I was a little surprised that there were only a few. Oh, well, there is always next time.
