Babbling Brooks: Six figures

Six figures

Babble on.

At the various blogger bashes I've attended (next one this Friday!), the one thing all of us agree on is that any blogger who tells you they don't care about traffic is flat out lying to you.

So I'm going to come clean and say thanks to Kate at small dead animals for sending me my 100,000th visitor earlier this morning.

Thanks too, to the other 99,999 of you who have dropped by since Babbling Brooks crawled from the primordial soup a year and a half back.

As I discovered late last year that quitting this silly hobby wasn't really an option for me, I hope to regale you with evidence of my continuing ineptitude for the forseeable future. Don't all clap at once.

Babble off.

At 1:41 p.m., WE Speak said...: Congratulations. Here's to the next 100,000!
At 1:52 p.m., VW said...: Congrats by all means. I'd join you, but I'm a little busy sowing confusion into Paul Dewar's camp ("Is a blogging tory helping us? Naw, don't trust him!") and I don't think I'll get to TO until the spring.
At 8:52 p.m., The Brigadier, Red Ensign Brigade said...: I'll echo the congratulations. I was delighted to pass 30,000 over the holidays, so I've got a ways to go to catch up to your traffic.

On other topics, are you interested in forming an advance party (as has been our normal habit) for Friday's VRWC gathering?
At 11:28 a.m., Les Mackenzie said...: Are you talking unique visitors? Or just visits?
At 2:20 p.m., Sara said...: When are they doing one in Ottawa?

Congrats on your 100000 hits!
At 8:05 a.m., GenX at 40 said...: Buy yourselves a beer from me. If the Fiddler's Green had a website with brews on tap I would have been able to give you some professional amateur advice on your selections but no such luck.

Profile:

I'm an Ontario redneck who hopes Alberta will invade and occupy Ontario sometime in the next week or so. I'm a proud Papa Bear to Boo and Mini-Boo. My wife Litlbit is sexy. I'm not very. I'm a small-c conservative. You want to know more, start reading the blog. Oh, I almost forgot. I believe most problems can be solved with weaponry of a high enough calibre. Take me seriously at your own peril.

The opinions expressed by me on this blog are my own, and should not be attributed to any other group, organization or individual with which I am affiliated. Neither do others' comments to my posts represent my opinion. Furthermore, any links I provide to other websites are for information purposes only, and don't imply any endorsement on my part. And if anything in this entire disclaimer is news to you, you need to give your head a shake and join the reality-based community.
