Earlier today this site (according to Site Meter) got its 400 thousandth hit. I would have turned it earlier, but Site Meter lost two weeks worth of data. But, then, it is free and with free stuff you get what you pay for. According to the stats on my hosting service, which I beleive to be more accurate, I am up over a million. This only reflects from December of 2002. I was on Blowspot before then. That site is still up and it has over 26,000 hits as of today.
I started blogging about the same time that Kim du Toit and Rachel Lucas did. They're both wee over one million. Unfortunately, I am not as talented as either of them. Also, I have had only one Instalanche and that was on my old site. But from that Instalanche I met Kim du Toit and picked up readers Addison and Ralph Gizzup. I also went on Daily Pundit's blogroll. Rachel Lucas and Kim du Toit put me on their blogroll also. That's when she had a blogroll.
I have been doing this for over 2.5 years and I still enjoy it. At this time I would like to thank all my readers and all my commenters and that includes Robin and Matthew. Robin and Matthew are both bright people who have been indoctinated with socialist ideas during their educational experiences. I'm hoping that we can change their views.
I would also like to thank all the people who have blogrolled me.
And what would I do if I didn't have people who send me all the links, cartoons, jokes, and puns like the Barbaras, Greg, Woody, Charlieb, Matt, Catfish, and Airboss. I will buy a gun this year. Honest!
I have made many new friends blogging. There are too many to name, but a few are Addison, Kim du Toit, Pumpman, Catfish, Airboss, Kelley, Jessica, Key, Jim at SOTW, Eric, Jim from New Jersey, Velociman, and the list goes on. These are just the people I have met in person. Yeah. Yeah. I should have had links for these, but they are all over there on the blogroll.
There are others, Like Rachel Lucas, whom I have only met electronically. I owe Rachel a lot since she is the one who moved me off Blowspot and installed MT for me and built my site. I just wish she had been at Kim's birthday party so I could have met her in person.
This year is almost over and I want to wish everyone best wishes for a good 2005. I will probably reveal the true name of TCIDNN (The Company I Dare Not Name) sometime in January.
Airboss supplied a New Year's Boobage for Sturday Boobage.
Happy New Year Everyone!

I thank you for the impetus of your joie de vivre and persona which contributed greatly to my hanging in with my 50 hits a day! You truly have been my inspiration.

Mr Wilson.
Don't sell yourself short;
you are talented enough.
Happy New Year
Your a Class Act!!!!
Happy New Year! Because of you, everytime I witness some dimbulb soccer mom doing 85 in her Chevy Tahoe, juggling a cell phone and a tube of lip stick, the words "booga eatin' moh-ron" come to mind.

Keep up the excellent work.
Happy New Year Denny! Enjoy the retirement.
Posted by: Jack on January 1, 2005 12:05 PMHappy New Year! Thank you for your insightful posts (and boobage, too).
Posted by: Matt Ashby on January 1, 2005 04:36 PMDenny,
It is your readers who should thank you for the effort you put into this blog. I know I look forward to reading it every day to see a fax from Babs or your latest take on the Atlanta Urinal & Constipation editorial. Saturday boobage is also a welcome addition to your site. I'll pore over my archives to see if I've got some worthy contributions.
Anyway, here's wishing you and your family a happy and prosperous New Year.

Class acts such as yourself, are a very rare breed.
All through last year I kept wondering who TCIDNN was....maybe I'll find out this year, eh?
