Gary Sullivan answers my question about flarf and Googlism:

There was a brief period on the flarflist when everyone found Googlism and threw in funny searches, like "bad poetry" or "great poetry." The one I remember best, of course, is:

Googlism for: flarf

flarf is come festival in florida
flarf is officially over for this year
flarf is the faery cast
flarf is held at quiet waters park

... although, the last time I saw it done there were fewer lines.

Mostly, I like to edit Googlisms, when used. So the above would be more like:

flarf is officially over for this year
flarf is the faery cast
flarf is held at quiet waters park
flarf is the oversized fleece/flanal blue striped/plaid shirt jacket thing that jessie stole for me from thrift junction yesterday
