The Picture of Everything. Where else are you going to find Johnny Cash next to James and the Giant Peach?

oh, [flash] and the second link leads you instead to a nice section where Chef Boyardee is with Mark Twain.

Where else are you going to find Johnny Cash next to James and the Giant Peach? I can think of one place...

Why are people always blaming the Mefi Search? It works just fine.

I missed this one, so I'm glad to see it. For some reason, the Upright Citizen's Brigade is driving Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. That's gonna give me nightmares.

I didn't miss it, so thanks dgaicun for pointing out what a lame excuse "That's what I get for trusting the mefi search" is. More like "that's what I get for not bothering to search." Once you've fucked up, at least be honest.

Unless, out of google-habit, she searched "The Picture of Everything" with the quotation marks. Not a reason to blame the search, but it makes the mistake a little more understandable.

I came here to see if anyone had made a Waldo joke. Nothing. I was ready to post something like "what, 12 comments and no mention of Waldo?" then I saw this post.

nthdegx - if that turns out to be the case, I withdraw my groundless accusation. If not, though, my groundless accusation stands!

Its pretty sad that that Meta thread is over a year old, thats a pretty stupid search defect to not correct. You are healed kitty, the new lame excuse award goes to matt: 'I don't know how to fix it'. Gee Matt, don't you think there are enough toady tech-heads around here who would love to fix that annoying error for you? on another note, i could not find waldo, ironically, only some little rascal with a candy-cane striped shirt.

Or how about a warning message? What, you can't put up a little disclaimer on the search page??

Another problem I think I've noticed is that you sometimes have to set it at "since day one" to get results that have happened within the current year.

I searched the link and Howard Hallis and got nada. I figured if I did a search on The Picture of Everything I'd get back a million posts with the words everything and picture, since those words are so common. But I did search. I realize now that there are multiple sites with the same content (the orignal post has the website thepictureofeverything.com while mine is from howardhallis.com). I think that happened with the mario in 11 minutes post as well. I do apologize for double posting though. Sorry.

The Picture of Everything. Where else are you going to find Johnny Cash next to James and the Giant Peach? If I'm not in the picture, I just lose interest...
