Cha-Cha-Cha!
I'm really quite busy at the moment and don't have time to write a "real" blog post. However, for your procrastinating pleasure, allow me to direct you to this feature on the fabulous Something Awful. Today they're trying to take advantage of the search facilitators over on ChaCha by asking them to find really random or impossible things. A series of transcripts are posted. Among the funniest are these two:
Sounds about right to me...

ChristineG: Hi there. I will be helping with your search.
ChristineG: Hello there.
You: Hello I am looking for a store in Texas that sells a number of different items
ChristineG: How can I help you today?
ChristineG: ok....
ChristineG: Let's start with one.
ChristineG: bin bags?
You: I am landscaping you see. I need a store that sells Shovels, Some sturdy bin bags to carry several hundred pounds...of dirt, some quicklime to disolve the damaged soil , some cutting apparatus for small bushes, I guess a meatcleaver would work best. Thank you
ChristineG: Ah....ok.
ChristineG: Is this mail order or do you need to pick it up?
You: Also I may need some rope for. trying up some of the bags
You: I would prefer to pick it up I would not like to give out my current living addess.
ChristineG: Where are you located?
You: I cannot say exactly but around Austin. I would prefer not to cross state lines to find this store if possible thank you christine
ChristineG: Sure...let me check that out for you.
You: If you cannot find 1 store that does all of that then dividing it between 2 stores that are very close to each other is fine.
ChristineG: ok....
ChristineG: Are you interested in a store like Home Depot?
You: yes something like that however the only place i have found only sold the shovel and rape
Christine: Pardon?
You: sorry i meant rope
ChristineG: First let me give you this page then I will search for the specific items
You: ok
You: ah that link I have found another of stores near me. I think this may do
ChristineG: Great...
ChristineG: I was checking to see what they had.
ChristineG: You might have to call them. But they usually have everything that you need.
You: I searched for austin texas in their box. They have everything i think
You: thank you so much for your help I wont forget your good deed ChristineG
ChristineG: Great!
ChristineG: Well ty for ChaChaing!
ChristineG: Thanks for using ChaCha! I hope you had a great search experience!
