So this horse walks into a bar because he was lost, because he didn't use MapQuest.

And he walks up to the bar, and the bartender says, "Hay buddy,, why the long face."

MapQuest a sign of the times

Some businesses know how to attract attention by utilizing a good sign
Good signs are ones that are memorable, or grab your eyes with flamboyant color and or lighting.
This sign is so big that it when it changes color its almost like the whole building is changing color.
It has good colors, it catches your eye and its attractive.

Except we no longer have the picture so is it worth posting the dialogue without the picture?

We say yes because then you have to use your vivid imagination.

I knew an old German guy in Canada who would never watch a hockey game he would only listen to them on the radio. He said it was way more entertaining that way, because you had to use your imagination.

I never tried it unless i was driving somewhere and didn't want to miss what happened.

I never realized it until now that his radio was out in the garage, away from his spouse...Hmmmm...

On a totally different subject we are going to talk about "swipe". Swipe on a touch screen is placing your finger on a words beginning letter then moving your finger rapidly over the top of the rest of the letters in the word that you are spelling in order to enter text onto a touch screen such as a phone or tablet.


When using Swype you only have to come close to touching all of the letters that are in the word you are entering or typing. As long as you come relatively close to most of the letters in the word will print.

However a lot of times its just comical the words that swipe will spell.

Give it a try and see what odd words it spells for you.

CORONA VIRUS PREVENTION

Because we’re a website dedicated to mostly entertainment, then we have to start out our Corona virus edition with some levity, even though this new malady is serious and nothing to laugh about, especially if it has affected anyone you know.

That being said. We’ve stumbled across a possible way to protect one from the Corona Virus.
We think if you consume copious quantities of Corona Beer that you won’t worry so much about getting the Corona Virus, and worrying is said to deplete the immune system. So if you’re intoxicated on Corona beer then you may not worry as much and your immune system might be stronger. So drink up.
As always drink responsibly, don’t drink and drive or text anyone or go on social media. From our experience of drinking and texting or posting, we’ve got so many text’s and posts we wished we’d never have sent. But once sent or posted you might get roasted.

Quarantine and isolation work well in stemming a virus from spreading when human to human contact is the means of which the virus is spreading.
This method of slowing transmission is difficult because human beings are global travelers.

Dr Death aka Dr Jack Kevorkian is back in the news.
Although he died in 2011 at 83 years of age, his somewhat morbid legacy continues.
The van that he used in his assisted suicides and to transport the dead to ER's is for sale at the infamous Detroit pawn shop American Jewelry and Loan from the hit TV show Hardcore Pawn, featuring Wes and his family.
Wes thinks the van will sell for somewhere in the neighborhood of $40,000, we think after all the national notoriety that the selling price will be much higher.

Kevorkian was involved in approximately 130 assisted suicide.

LOTSA LOTSA LOTTERY

"IF IT WASN'T FOR BAD LUCK I'D HAVE NO LUCK AT ALL"

The Lottery has major bucks lost and won every day, week, month, and year.

It brings in huge revenue. People like to win, so they gamble.

People don't like to loose yet they will loose and they will still gamble.

The lottery is probably the biggest source of betting that there is. It is everywhere.

On January 13th 2016 the largest jackpot in world history was won by three winners.

That amount was $1.586 Billion US dollars in the United States Powerball.

For some reason the term lottery is one of the coveted terms for generating revenue when a person has a blog that has pay per click ads on the blog or website.

The term lottery is also very favorable when it is followed or preceded by

Welcome to MapQuest Original — JokesLoL, Memes & Internet Entertainment

The internet used to be simple.

You’d accidentally discover a weird website at 2 AM, laugh at something completely ridiculous, send it to your friends, and somehow lose three hours of your life without regretting any of it.

That’s the spirit behind MapsOriginal.

This site isn’t trying to solve world peace, improve your credit score, or convince you to meditate on a mountain while drinking cucumber water. There are already enough websites doing that.

Instead, MapsOriginal is here for:

• humor

• memes

• internet randomness

• sports jokes

• Chuck Norris “isms”

• weird observations

• relatable life nonsense

• and whatever else makes people laugh during a stressful day.

Some posts will be short.
Some will be absurd.
Some may even make you question the direction humanity is heading.

That’s part of the experience.

The internet has become overly polished and strangely serious lately. MapsOriginal is an attempt to bring back some of the chaotic fun that made browsing the web entertaining in the first place.

Expect:

• baseball humor

• football jokes

• tech jokes

• meme experiments

MAPQUEST DRIVING DIRECTIONS 2025

 WERE BACK !

AND

WERE ALIVE !

MORE THAN EVER

WE'LL SOON BE REVAMPING EVERYTHING

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR SMILING FACES 

MAPQUEST DRIVING DIRECTIONS

 We have discovered different websites resembling MapQuest that are utilizing the same MapQuest format, look and feel of the real and true 

"MAPQUEST.com"

When you open their webpage you get a very similar website that resembles MapQuest !!!

On these sites you can enter your starting point and your final destination. You will then get a route, just like you would on the real MapQuest.

These possible imposters are using different web addresses. Instead of using Mapquest.com they are using as an example, Mapquest, .biz, .org, .io, .info etc..

Or they utilize Mapquestdrivingdirections "dot" whatever but they will misspell something in Mapquestdrivingdirections, they will add an extra "s" to the end of directions or they will use some other misspelling to look like they are the real MapQuest.

This is an underhanded trick but they are getting away with it for now.

One of the fake sites has garnered a lot of web traffic, so be aware of the actual web address before you click to open a website that you think is the real Mapquest.

MAPQUEST DRIVING DIRECTIONS

 We recently researched on Duckduckgo and Google, what returns a person gets when they type in "MapQuest Driving Directions".

Of course one gets the official MapQuest website at the top of the page.

This is immediately followed by websites who appear to not be an official MapQuest website. However these websites do offer driving directions similar to that of MapQuest.

We actually think that these websites may be utilizing the same driving directions "search engine" that MapQuest utilizes.

For many years our website that you are currently on "MapquestOriginal.blogspot.com" was the third ranked listing when you typed in "MapQuest classic original" in most search engines which were Google, Yahoo, Bing, or DuckDuckGo.

We diligently tried to remain in the third position of returns, but the search engines were uncooperative in divulging their information on how they ranked a website in page rank of returns, and we eventually dropped off the face of the earth when a person typed in MapQuest Original , MapQuest Classic, or a combination or MapQuest Classic Original.

We went from the first page of results to virtual obscurity. We think this may have occurred for political affiliation and social justice reasons, such as the banning of many famous people from twitter.

We will never know!!!

Every professional SEO company, which stands for "Search Engine Optimization", claimed in order to be a top listed, in the first page rank of any subject that you had to have the following criteria:

1) Backlinks from other reputable websites.

2) Lots of pertinent information on your website.

3) Keywords

4) A dotcom web address.

5) Unique, interesting info, design, pictures or videos.

Our website MapQuestOriginal.blogspot.com never had ANY backlinks from other websites, yet we maintained the third rank on the first page of returns. So all of the professional SEO websites were wrong in the fact that a website HAD to have backlinks for good SEO.

We also never obtained the proper dotcom address the SEO companies said was required. Our address should have been "MapquestOriginal.com" instead we used "MapquestOriginal.blogspot.com" because it was free through Blogger, which is also Blogspot.com

That's all for today , please come back soon!

 The Internet is still the WWW

 uhm... thats WILD WILD WEST 

not WORLD WIDE WEB.

We've been trying to figure out the internet for about 25 years!

And guess what? We still do not have a clue.

We created this website WWW.MapquestOriginal.blogspot.com

In order to generate income. 

To do so, a web page has to get traffic. A way to get traffic is to

 appear on the first page of results when the subject is entered. If a

 person typed into a search engine Mapquest Classic or Mapquest

 Original

they would get a search results page that would list websites related

 to Mapquest Original and or Mapquest Classic, and our webpage

 used to be number 3 on that list! Which meant that some people

 would see it and click on our Mapquest Original page and view it.

In order to rank number three on a search results query it was

 mandatory that a webpage have 

1, Good interesting original content.

2. Backlinks (other popular websites that link to you) 

3. An ample volume of content.

4. A privately owned and paid for domain name.

5. Good design, pictures, video, graphics.

Our Website Mapquestoriginal has three of the above five items.

Every web designer or page rank specialist says that you cannot

 obtain page one results without having "Backlinks".

We however do not have not one single solitary backlink, yet we

 obtained a page rank of number three on page one in a search result.

We also never purchased the domain name WWW.Mapquest.com

We continue to use WWW.MapquestOriginal.blogspot.com because

 it is free to use the blogspot.com web address. In hind site we

 probably should have purchased and used MapquestOriginal.com

But it is no longer a concern because our page rank now has fallen off

 of the planet. We can not even locate our web page in search results.

 So we are being punished by some one, we dont know who or why

 and probably never will!!!

But it doesn't matter because MapQuest has dropped off of the

 proverbial MAP.

Every one now uses GPS on their cell phone or on their vehicle.

💔

 Hey Hey Hey!

We just went to the MapQuest website vie our cell phone, just to see how this website MapquestOriginal.blogspot.com looked.

Well much to our surprise MapQuest still doesn't get it. The get it fact is that MapQuest needs to be more user friendly.

Long ago MapQuest changed their format from user friendly and free to what many Mapquesters* deemed un-user friendly but still free. 

We personally like the option to turn off cookies and to not allow third party companies to track our every move online. Some websites make it very hard to turn off cookies or third party tracking companies.

We just tried to turn off cookies and third party tracking, but it was very difficult and we were not sure if it actually worked.

Well it seems that the problem from above was that we were using a VPN, a virtual private network that masks a users location and internet address. Our VPN shows that we were located in Europe, and Europe has different internet protocols and usage rules. In Europe you are given the option of turning off a websites cookies and third party trackers, but in the USA you're not even made aware of these options. To the best of our knowledge, this is how we think it works, we're not experts.

Once we turned the VPN off we were able to access Mapquest without giving any type of cookie or third party tracking/monitoring consent, we presume we have to accept cookie and third party trackers unless you go into your browser settings and disable or change the settings.

My neighbor says she doesn't care who tracks her or who spies on her, she just uses everything with no worries or concern. I wish I could be that way, but alas I can not, I don't like snooping, spying, companies who profit off of my info.

FYI~ Mapquest is still the best for Maps and Directions!!!

Mapquester* we coined this new term just now, a person who uses, or is a fan of MapQuest is a Mapquester. 

 Howdy Hey GPS and map Fans.

Its been Years since we started our MapQuest Original website..

We started it with the hopes of gaining wide spread viewership.

But the google algorithm's had a different objective.

Well we're not blaming Google , were blaming the folks at MapQuest.

You see when the internet was young there was only one place to obtain directions or maps and that

 was at MapQuest. 

There were no 

Google Maps

No Waze 

No Apple Maps

No GPS Apps

The only place to go was good ole reliable MapQuest.

Then the folks at MapQuest decided to make some changes, they were not good changes.

MapQuest at one time was the number one go to website for directions and or Maps.

After their format change things kinda went downhill. Google Maps and  various GPS apps

trounced MapQuest. MapQuest was no longer user friendly, when you went to their website you had to

 relearn how to use it, it was no longer user friendly, it was all about adds and ad revenue.

Just like Sears and Kmart, MapQuest was once the KING.

The sad part about MapQuest's demise is that we will never know the truth as to why they chose their

 destiny of suicide/death.

We have spent hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours on our Mapquest Original website, but its

 time has come, Elvis has left the building.

 And unfortunately gone, this will be our last Mapquest Original post.... there's no point in whipping a

 dead horse................................

If we had any actual fans we would thank YOU....

In parting here is a picture of me:

Mapquest classic DIRECTIONS

 After all of these years Mapquest still rocks.

There’s an internet ranking service that’s called Alexa. It has nothing to do with the voice command device that we’ll never use, we won’t use the Alexa voice command device because we feel like we’re being snooped on by a roomful of Alexians, but that’s just our phobia.

The internet ranking service Alexa has Mapquest currently ranked at 456. Mapquest’s 90 day ranking is surging upwards. These numbers are impressive due to the pandemic that is ongoing and because not many people are traveling nowadays.

People are working from home and buying many things online.

Lawyers, insurance, Doctors, Zoom...you name it, and everything is possible to be done online. Although we haven’t been able to get an oil change done online...yet.

Even though people aren’t doing much driving, or traveling, Mapquest is still a viable candidate in the driving directions and map business. This is a great accomplishment with everyone having free GPS on their cell phones.

Keep Rocking It Mapquest!

CATERWAULING and FALLING For FALL Y’ALL

 We’re not going to caterwaul or bawl about fall because it may raise our 

Cholesterol.

Sorry but we hate FALL, Y’all 

Why?  Because it means summer is over, and summer is always too short. 

Right after fall comes winter, the only time we like winter is during Christmas 

And New Years.

But we’re going to promote Fall just because it’s a good time to travel. 

And when we travel guess what website we visit.

MAPQUEST

It’s a Good time to go see those dreaded leaves die, oops did we say that Out Loud? 

What we meant to say was it’s a good time to go and watch the “COLOURS”.

We prefer the vibrant colours of an action adventure movie on a 84” to 105” flat screen tv with Dolby 7.2 

surround sound.

The great outdoors are also great, nice campfire, stars, relaxation,  ahhhh....yessss...

We took a pic of these several years ago and posted it, the paint could use some freshness.

UPDATE BREAKING NEWS

Monday June 22/2020 

The Mayor of Seattle, Jenny Durkan has said that the Police will reclaim
The area know as Chaz Chop which is located in the city's East Precinct.

It was abandoned June 8th after violence by protesters,
and depending who you listen to there are anarchists from around the
world who have infiltrated and are attempting fruition of their goals.

The mayor is attempting to peacefully persuade the occupants of Chaz Chop
to leave with out usng force.

Peaceful protests will still be allowed, but just during the daytime, not overnight.
Mayor Durkan did not give a timeline on Chop's eviction but said "additional steps"
would be looked at if protesters did not leave voluntarily.

Where's the media asking her what "additional steps" entail???
🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽

It's me.

Three shootings occured over last weekend, one dead, one critical, one minor
17 years of age was shot.

When an ambulance was summoned to one of the shootings the ambulance would
not enter the zone without the police escorting them. The self proclaimed or duly
elected spokesman/War lord of the zone went ballistic because of the police 
escort.

Another possible reason for the Mayor finally taking action is that
citizens who are unhappy with the take over have vowed to organize
and use force to reclaim this land, zone, area. Which would most 
likely result in violence, bloodshed and deaths. 
AKA a mini civil war.

June 23/2020

The "protesters" "anarchists" whatever you want to call them are currently
fortifying their autonomous zone with huge cement barricades.

It appears they have taken cement blocks that are 2' wide by 4' long and
2' high and added framing and plywood to the top of the cement thus making
their barricades almost 5' tall which would give them a good defensive
position.

we've seen graffiti in major cities and on train cars. Most all of the graffiti
weve seen are incredible illegal works of art that the graffiti-ist is very very skilled
at. even though we have no idea what the creator has written.
The graffiti on the barricades at Chaz Chop is not of very good quality.
It is downright bad.

Here is some of the graffiti currently on the barricades:
CHOP.
Pay for people.
ok death 20.
Fxck that cheeto hair bxtch.
Black history is american history.
Latinos 4 blm.
Blank trains lives matter.
The common good should be common sense.
"Blank" free zone, that's not a chip on my shoulder that's. (then its undecipherable.) 
Peoples republic of Capitol Hill.
Our street.
Burn down the American plantation.
Acab.
Black lives matter to God.
United we stand divided we fall.
Stand up for black women.
Free our PPL, fxck 12 acab.
🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼

SIDE NOTE
Graffiti Translation:

ACAB = All Cops are Bstards or All Capitolists are Bstards.
Fxck 12 = basically means "F" the police, it also means "F" the police drug unit.
