Tableau Your Mind's 200th Post!

It took a little under two years to make it happen, but Tableau Your Mind has finally reached its 200th blog post. You're reading it RIGHT NOW! They say it only takes a person 16-21 times to make doing something into a habit, and it definitely feels like, after 200 posts, we have moved beyond "habit" and into "psychopathic fanaticism." Over these 200 labors of like, we have written about topics covering all elements of popular culture, including food, movies, music, television, and so much more. We've done posts on Hollywood "It" Couples, Hipster Babies, and Pedophilia in Film. We've compared the stars of Tangled and Salt and looked at what would happen if Mr. Feeny suffered a "Wardrobe Malfunction." We've doted on 30 Rock, Kristen Bell, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, and Batman, and hated on Kristen Stewart, Slow Motion in Indie Movies, and Easy Mac. We've even learned how to pronounce Gotye, just in time for him to become culturally irrelevant. We really wouldn't believe that there were 200 posts if it weren't for the photographic evidence:

Mr. Feeny Nip Slip and other Top Searches

One of the best things about having a blog is being able to see what random search words get people to your site. That’s right, thanks to Google Analytics we can see what search words bring people here, and it’s not always pretty. Let’s just say that it’s amazing how the word ‘fluids’ can be easily combined with other words to make them sound incredibly NSFW.

Tableau Your Mind is a judgment free zone (except when we judge and analyze elements of pop culture) so we thought that it would be a good idea to combine all the most popular searches into one photo, because that's what people were clamoring for. Below, check out the seven most-searched items that brought people to this blog (along with links to the pages that they presumably brought people to). Then, click through for one of the most blog-search friendly images ever!

1. Gotye (Also: Gotye Pronunciation)
2. Mr. Feeny Boy Meets World (Also Popular: Mr Feeny and Mr. Feeny)
3. Nip Slip (Also Popular: Emily VanCamp Nip Slip, Julia Louis-Dreyfus Nip Slip)
4. Hipster Baby (Also Popular: Hipster, Hipster Boner)
5. Harry Potter (Also Popular: Harry Plotter)
6. Steve Martin Banjo (Also Popular: Steve Martin)
7. Voldemort (Also Popular: Voldemort Sad, Sad Vodemort, Hipster Voldemort)

Photo is slightly NSFW, but it's a cartoon, so it's totally fine:

Gotye: A Pronunciation Guide

Belgian-Australian singer-songwriter Gotye has been singing/song-writing for a while, but he's only recently achieved international success.  His song 'Somebody That I Used to Know' off his album Making Mirrors has completely blown up. I mean, Matthew Bomer even sang it on Glee. As Madonna and Sting will tell you, that's the only true marker of success musicians have left.

Still, despite is success, his name remains frustratingly difficult to pronounce. Damn you, Belgian-Australians!!! Not knowing how to correctly pronounce someone's name can be so irksome, which one of our bloggers learned first-hand when he met Tahmoh Penikett recently. Now, we here at Tableau Your Mind are a friendly sort, and we want to keep you from frustration (and prevent another 'Bon Iver' situation come next year's Grammys). So, here are a few visual representations of how to pronounce 'Gotye' and an example of how to pronounce it incorrectly, just for fun:
