I love the productivity of language

Inspired by XKCD, Benn and I have been playing around and can now present the following lists:

According to Google, The Following Word Combinations Did Not Previously Exist On The Internet:

"I'm wary of the colour purple"
"two feathers short of a cockfight"
"good to the last syphilitic drop"
"I can't believe it's not Bavaria!"
"I can't believe it's not bulemia!"
"Maybe she's born with it, maybe she's vomiting"
"If music be the food of love, blare on"
"why don't they invent the banana phone?
"they can land a man on the moon, but they can't cure my papilloma""
"I delighted my proctologist"
"I long for henry kissinger"
"I am interested in your voodoo curses"
"I admire your bazooka"
"my llama is not your llama"
"my pet rock has been quiet lately"
"My komodo dragon is missing, and so is my mother"
"We don't see enough of Miley Cyrus these days"
"Intelligent speech by Bush"
"I don't like Obama's deliciously well-muscled abs"
"someone on the internet is intelligent"
"well written livejournal comment"
"Zombie movies aren't sexy anymore"
"I hate 'A Bit of Fry and Laurie'" (there is hope for the world yet - NO ONE hates "A Bit of Fry and Laurie"!)
"I love dysprosium" (one of VERY few elements on the periodic table which someone doesn't love)
"The clown delighted me" (not surprised)

Word Combinations Which Actually Got Hits:

"the clown terrified me" (even less surprised)
"insightful twitter post" (very surprised)
"anorexia isn't for everyone" (thank gawd)
"these boots are made for woking"
"tasty maggots"
"delectable maggots"
"secret maggot recipe"
"the unsuspecting gynecologist"
"the unwitting sperm recipient"
"I don't know why I'm pregnant"
"who do atheists worship?"
"how is babby aborted?"
"most enjoyable abortion"
"favourite abortion clinic"
"say yes to diapers"
"say no to feces"
"Boycott champagne. Demand the real pain"
"don't touch my armadillo!"
"give me back my llama"
"have you seen my echidna?"
"my pet rock is not moving"
"puce toilet"
"chartreuse plumbing supplies"
"the suspicious fetus"
"fetish for kermit the frog"
"George W Bush fetish"
"unusual armpit hair"
"four wheel jive"
"ear wax model"
"emo muffins" (this actually brought up image results and an urban dictionary hit)
"delicious outhouse" (I don't want to know)
"I love to eat poo"
"I love ytterbium"
"I love diaper rash" (a random sampling - there seem to be very few nouns which are unloved)
"I enjoy prostate cancer"
"the pen is mightier than the porn"

...and now I'm going to go to bed.
Also, Odin is five years old today! How did he get so old?
