Ok so even though I was quite proud to have climbed the top blog list this last month I have to point out that the darn thing is totally broken. I noticed one blog which I had never read climbing the ranks until it reached number one tonight. Clicking on it I discover it has exactly one article and zero referrals. Some screen shots : and Note that this is in no way the fault of the blogger shown here just posting this as a sort of bug report.
Some sentiments from a peaceful and tolerant blogger in response to this post . I won’t put their handle in this blog (although you can of course find it on the original thread). pretty sad commentary on this individual who uses one of the better anecdotes as a mockery. And sadder is how this person had a response of "wow man that was great ha ha ha". Sickening. Tolerance would be a good thing in these turbulent times. And it's unfortunate because attitides like that ma...
I didn't notice it until Estrogen Lass pointed it out in an email (honest) but somehow you guys have read this thing enough to make my blog number one for a day (even topping Brad's own (EL insists I am *ahem* "servicing him" (I'm not))). Because it is unlikely to ever happen again (and I am certainly around a million hits/day from threatening guys with real talent) I took a screen shot of it (for posterity mind you!). Thanks for reading...
It's not like Lileks needs a bump from me but I eally am enjoying his Joe Ohio fiction series. The groundrules are simple: One matchbook drawn at random fom his collection follwed by whatever plotline he can extrapolate in 30 minutes flat. The result is somewhat dark and depressing but extrememly engaging nonethless. Check it out. Certainly worth more of your time than those online horoscope places . While you ...
Well maybe it is the paranoid in me but I can only hope that Little Whip keeps her exit real for a bit and doesn't pull a Mick Foley on me. Her goodbye article and the thread that preceeded it (no link since you can't read the commentary) were factory model specs for both flame-bait and the right way to say good bye. I for one will miss your input intot he discussion and I think JU is poorer without you.
Hey I support your right to use JU in any way you see fit. Let me say though that when you disable commentary you tremendously diminish my desire to read anything you write... master or not... This is a community of commenters in general so your toughts will reach more people when you allow comments... Just a thought.
The Truth Laid Bear has a fairly unique system of ranking blogs against other blogs in their Ecosystem. I have been a member for some time now ( with a current ranking of “Slithering Reptile”) and I find it to be an instructive way to compare how many blogs do traffic and other wise. Now to be fair they are just using the same stats from Sitemeter.com (they provide that little number at the bottom of my articles) but they are ...
Went over to the Central Issue Facility (CIF) today and got me a large bag of new Desert Combat Uniforms (DCU's ), various hot/cold weather items, 2 new pairs of Desert boots (thank you GEN Schwartzkopf!), and a spanking new set of revamped body armor complete with ballistic plates of the type described by Wanderer here . Now in the past I have had bad experiences with CIF due to high demand, but now since most of Ft. Hood is alr...
There has been a recent spate of fake blogging by piesnpies, anti-stalk, and fiksated. These are all the same person blogging under different names. While it is pretty apparent that they are mentally deranged simply from their article "content" they are also indulging in a bit of decption by occasionally pretending to be different people as demonstrated here . Proof that they are the same person? Here , here , and here . Hell if it ...
When you come online into an esatblished community with a poorly aimed flamethrower, you don't get to bitch about other people flamethrowing back. Especially after you make a grovelling apology and then ramp right back up to your preivous antics. My heart bleads for you Mr. Jesusstayscrunchy. Can't take the heat? Then don't be an assclown! (I was not even one of those after you and I know you ain't in the right here.) God I love "Waah! I am never blogging ag...
Well Estrogen Lass is PCS'ing out to Ft. Huachuca now to be an instuctor. At the moment she is visiting some of her relatives back in hot-ass Florida but she should be out here in a couple days. Thankfully I put in for some leave so I can clean up the house! You see as Fox Mulder once said, "Men are just bears who happen to have furniture." I have been on my own out here for around a year and those of you who know me well should know that that...
For those of you who have never tried it the military has this lovely thing collectively referred to as "having duty". This basically means that you go and sit your tired ass in some collective area (like the barracks) and guard a phone. Depending on your duty station you may also liven up the evening by signing people in and out on leave, handing out vital morale supplies like pool cues that were last used on the original set of Walking Tall , and making sure some schl...
Those of you who have read all 160+ of my blogs know that i am a "jingoistic" "traditionalist" and some of my less frequent readers may also think i am a fundamentalist Christian. Whatever . I wrote an earlier blog about the songs that make me cry and in it was Toby Kieth's "American Soldier". I have finally figured out what really gets me about that tune... In the video for it the main character closely resembles Kemimas in both looks and demeanor...
