THE 100,000 MARK
I’ve passed my 100,000th visitor. I know that 100,000 is a drop in the bucket for you uber bloggers out there, but is it even smaller than that. When you look at the kinds of google searches that lead people to my site, the following search terms are the ones that keep bringing people to this page:
Smiley - 53,424

Smiley face - 20,013

Sarah Palin - 11.301

Sarah Palin nude - 3,175

Martin Van Buren - 1,007

Martin Van Buren nude - 1,005

Katie Couric cleavage - 728

Redneck -366

Stupid people - 359

Fat suck - 293

Hot babe - 287

Oops - 254

Steampunk office - 249

Mean smiley - 208

Morons eating pie - 119

Jews in the news - 103

Taye Diggs Wife - 99

Martin Von Buran nude - 97

I very much appreciate the 10 or 20 people that seem to habitually drop by. But the vast majority of those visiting here pass through looking for something else (pics of nude politicians) or land here utterly by mistake (‘oops”).
I’m not complaining – just grooving on the goofiness of the whole thing.

Google need an application that lets you see the facial expression of people when your site comes up!
I NEED to see the expression on someone’s face when they search “fat suck” and get your blog!
Congrats on the 100,000, I don’t think I have even made 5,000.

I stop by for the news, and the truth, because we both know the two are usually mutually exclusive.

What does it matter? That’s the point of this post – it doesn’t matter. Except for you and a handful of other, mostly Australian bloggers, no one really cares what I write. Hell, you probably don’t care either, but at least you tell a joke or two.

Admitt it, Doug, you come here for the nude pics of Van Buren.
June 6, 2009 at 1:10 am
Well, there is always The Daily Show for the truth.

Congrats.

Happy 100,000th. Here’s to another 100,000. What’s that converted to metric blogging units by the way?
Reading the title I thought this was a harrowing account of hyperinflation-fuelled banknote printing in postwar Germany, but clearly not.

I notice that no one googles in on your name. thats weird…..

Awesome, congrats mate. That’s heaps.
Christ, imagine waking up next to that thing in the first photo. The fright alone would age ya ten years. Bet Lerm’s got a story or two about her…lol

Doug – The Daily show has gone a bit stale without Bush to bash, don’t you think?
Abe – Thanks, but, as I said, it is a milestone without real meaning. As I said, I am totally grooving on the complex absurdity of it. I am trying to decide whether it is dada or not. I think it is, but I am not really sure.
Yobbo – Ah, yes: the pre-war days of German hyperinflation. That was a simpler time. I may write a nostalgic piece about that with the exact same title as this thread.
Uamada – These aren’t the only search terms, just the ones I thought worthy of mention. There are countless single hits using different search terms. There are some people who do get here by searching my name or parts of it combined with other terms, such as “paul boylan” combined with “attorney” or, if it is someone trying to dig up dirt on me, combined with “criminal record.” I think my favorite search term used only once is “albino fetish.” Why on earth this page would pop up in response to that search term is beyond me.
Moko – it wouldn’t be so bad if you woke up while it was still dark. Those days may be past me, but I do remember that such was my preferred method for making an exit.

Damn, all this time I’ve been putting in suck fat, and should have been putting in fat suck. No wonder I keep ending up over at Pornhub…which, incidentially, is at the 1,000,000,000,000 visitor mark…that’s a one with 12 zeros, Paul (Did I see a video of you over there?)

Jaded – Look, I was in college. I needed money. I made some bad decisions. Would I do things differently if given the chance? Yes. Do I have any regrets. Hell yes. I should have asked for more money.

I only found this site by googling “The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories’. I keep returning in the hope that I’ll actually get to READ some of those stories. Or better yet, see the pictures!

Ah, those who woke up while it was still dark, what wonderful men. I would roll over to happily discover I had my bed to myself again, then go back to sleep knowing I could enjoy a pleasant morning not tripping over your clothes or worrying about your breakfast. Then, again there were those sweeties who hung around and made breakfast…
