Whoa. Two freakin’ years (not counting the undercover ghost-posting stalking decades) and y’all are still with us, doin’ the Number 6, a-ridin’ into town a-whompin’ an’ a whumpin’.
Our first post was on Friday, 3 August 2007, but since we don’t wanna interrupt your Monday work schedule with all the hoopla, we turned back the calendar by a day. We also know, since we track the stats, that most of y’all check in here during your working hours anyway. Believe it or not, our statistics have a pulse. You have no excuse for not clicking through all 11 links below, because it’s still the weekend.
Many people have asked us about our now world famous TR logo. Once we’d decided on a blogname, we realized that we needed a mascot, so I doodled a raccoon that had just realized he’d blundered through a puddle of rubber cement. That was it. One shot. On a scrap of notebook paper. Serious history.
There are a lot of reasons why I like posting inanities on this blog, but I can’t think of any right now. All I know is it keeps me from oiling the chainsaw and putting the dishes away. Mostly I enjoy the camaraderie of my fellow blogheads and the opportunity to crosspost trash talk with relative impunity. Above all, comments from near and far keep me sitting here and avoiding “Dancing With The Stars” reruns.
So here are the greatest traffic producers of the past year, with the previous year’s ranking separated by an appropriate slash.
NR = no rating, indicating that the post either didn’t make rank or wasn’t posted last year.
My personal favorite for this year, Popeye’s Obituary, didn’t rank, but it’s barely a monthski old. A simple click on any image below will take you to the realm of the original coolness.
SO HERE WE GO:
No. 10/1 – Another Great Christmas Gift Idea
No. 9/nr – Lesbian Amputee Dwarf Porn
No. 8/4 – Faith Enhancer
[True learning experience here.]
No. 7/nr – LOL Ferret: On Watch
No. 6/nr – Southern California Fires October 2007
No. 5/2 – Nice Stained Glass
No. 4/5 – Pirates Attack Venice With Rabbit
No. 3/nr – Giant Wooly Bear Caterpillar Discovered
[Don't miss the comments on this one.]
No. 2/3 – Batmobile Babe Magnet
AND THE NUMBER ONE POST OF THE YEAR IS:
No. 1/10 – LOL FERRET: Episode 1
Thanks to all you loyal readers, commenters and linkers.
Y’all make me feel like a hundred bucks.
