My “Balls” is “Google Famous”

Googling “Michael Burg Balls” gets you straight, to me

Sweeeeeeeeet! I’ve arrived! Finally! * * * Photo by Taylor Kiser on Unsplash

And really, who doesn’t love a good Googling?

For some bizarre and unfathomable reason, Krystal Mossbarger wanted to add this dingleberry of a story …

… to a list of some kind she’s compiling.

So, she did what any sane Medium writer would do and Googled “Michael Burg Balls”.

And, my “Balls” came out on top.

Then she dropped me a line and told me so.

A funny note: I was looking for this story so I can save it as a prompt, and I’m impatient and didn’t feel like scrolling through your other crap, so I searched Michael Burg Balls. Lol. The thing is, I accidentally typed it on Google instead of Medium, you better get to deleting. Lol!

Awesome! …

But here’s where we part ways

If my “Balls” is Google-able, AND Krystal Mossbarger wants to add it as to a prompt list, there’s no way I’m deleting anything, least of all my “Balls”.

However, when you’re right you’re right

Krystal Mossbarger does reference my “other crap”.

And with that crack she’s spot on.

Incidentally, Googling “Michael Burg Balls” and “Michael Burg Crap” yields exactly the same number of top hits … two!

Famous, huh?!

Have an insatiable appetite for balls? Then check this out.

This too!
