Whack Attack!
First of all if you’ve not read anything by Dave Gorman shame on you. Once again some pub banter has stirred up some stupid bets. This weekend or asap I set the challenge to lee (who frequents the pub maybe a little bit more than he actually should) that he couldn’t find a googlewhack before me. If you don’t know what they are i’ll give you quick run down. 2 words into google with only one result…like so I grabbed this one off the whackstack. The words must exsist and be underlined. Sounds easy…and it might be I haven’t actually tried. But whoever gets their name added to that whackstack first, parts with £5. All the rules are here. the floor is open…good luck.

Strictly speaking immam is a mispelling, so it didn’t count…

spotted Ally Wan…I hope it took ages to find…I’m struggling. Lee yours are not even words!
February 11th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Feel stupid now, been looking up stupidly long words under the impression that they would be easier to “whack” …. they are words!, just don’t do that stupid underline thing, you didn’t explain that properly to me
February 11th, 2008 at 11:26 am
you can’t just make up ingredients! there’s a link to the rules section, and I even said “The words must exsist and be underlined”…so I’d feel stupid too if I were you…GAME ON!

stupid game
February 12th, 2008 at 3:20 am
I thought I’d got one with my first attempt “gobledegook jobby” but then realised I was disqualified on two counts
1) It was jsut a word list web site
2) I misspelled gobledegook
I re-entered it as “gobbledegook jobby” and got 34 - think i’ll leave it at that though - or could be here all day!
February 12th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
I got one with 2 the other day but i didnt write it down coz i got the rules wrong and thought you had to only have 1! nic h is my witness. can’t remember what words they were there…
February 12th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
it was something to do with robots….hmmm…

furball musth
3!
DO I WIN??
February 12th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
oh bollocks. i just checked the rules and i don’t win. pish.
but for reference - musth is a good word!
February 14th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
It’s the best word, I use it daily at work now.
February 17th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
You cant use musth … Its underlined (top right in google)
February 17th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
NOT underlined even
February 18th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
is underlining a bad thing!?
February 19th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
According to Rob’s stupid rules, the word has to be underlined in Google or it doesn’t count
February 19th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
They’re not my rules!
