Googling for Brontes
I stumbled upon this website this evening. It is called Googlism. You type something into the search engine and instead of getting a list of websites, it tells who what your query "is". I am sad to report that there are not enough websites about Anne and Branwell to bring up anything whatsoever, but here are some interesting and sometimes hysterical things I dug up (read to the end, and tell me you didn't laugh out loud at the last one!):

I think if you google it again it brings up more hits! This could get addictive. The ones about Heathcliff are terrific... 'mr rochester is sponsored by...' reminds me of an edition of JE I have. It's from the 30s and there's an insert in the middle of the proposal. It is a picture of Charlotte bringing her father some tea and says 'Charlotte the Good Daughter' or something. A little distracting. ;)
My favourite internet searching experience is still when I discovered the 'Mr Rochester Body Building Competition'!!
OMG OMG OMG hahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaI can't seem to contain myself!!!
A body buliding competition!!! Good Lord!!!!!!!!!!
God save Mr.R pleaze!!! Not knowing the particulars, my Imagination is teasing me...with visions of a Schwartzenegger-looking Rochester...*shuts eyes..and attempts to shut brain*
I tried googling it but I dont' think I've found what you meant...
the details could prove to be even more hilarious!!!
aahh this is as much (or more) fun as welcoming the New Years !
btw, Happy New Year Broteana!!
It was a Mr Rochester (New York) Body Building competition ;) It prompted some crafts... One was an icon with a certain photo from the musical (wherein Mr R is showing off his 'taille d'athlete') and wrote a commercial for a fitness routine to make you "Buff like Mr Rochester." Better still was a stick-figure comic book where my friends and I had to save Jane Eyre from the clutches of Schwartzenegger who had decided to play Mr R in the next film. "I will crush their dreams" he says on his way to a "Brood Like Mr Rochester" classes. (that comic was so funny... We tried calling someone up with magic rings, a la Captain Planet but there were too many of us so I had the power of 'sparkles'. I thought that Anthony Crivello would come but instead we got Chuck Wagner in a pink cape with lots of sparkles. :( Then St.John chased me for a bit.)
Happy New Year to you! It'll be Bronteful ;)
