OK, so I forgot to say in the last post, an 11th whole birdie round of applause for Mister Moreno who wrote the 500th post on this blog. Now there’s a reason to celebrate. Da bubbly, da bubbly. Of course it goes without saying that there is no better way we could have reached such a momentous occasion were it not for hermaphroditic rubber tappers in India so our thank you speech, fingerprint smudged trophy in our grip, is completely dedicated to all hermaphroditic rubber tappers the world over.
The only thing more amazing than three (wait a minute, where’d Abogado go?) mostly stoned suburban slackers typing out over 500 posts is that people actually seem to be reading them. How many comments you ask? 2422, whisper the blog gods. But come on, at least half of those have to be by HP you challenge. But no.
Survey says …
315 different comment authors. Looking at the stats is interesting. Of course, I’m the biggest sucker and HP earns himself a respectable second, but maybe you’re suprised to hear that DD has commented more than Abogado. Or that Rajeev has commented more than Daily Texican.
If you’d like to look over the various comments you’ve left on this blog over the past almost year and a half, you can do so here. Just click on your name and have fun. If you’re the sentimental type like myself you may want a box of tissue around.

That’s hot. What’s the plugin you use for stats?
I’m catching up. And if you counted all the times that I tried to log in but was thwarted by your conspiratory ways I would be way ahead! Anyway, you complain now, but wait till this summer when I have nothing to do and you will be begging to get rid of me. Just don’t forget about the settlement clause for early termination in my contract.
Who is Moreno?
BTW…what’s up whith the google ads? And more importantly, where’s my cut?
What the? It looks like I’ve got some catching up to do? I think someone is stealing my comments. Who are these people commenting more than me, damn it.
+1 and counting.
Derek,
It’s based off of Gamerz’ wp-stats hack. I just separated the functions from the html/php doc and turned the latter into a template which I made a page from. If you want I can email you the files. But it works just as well if you just drop the file into your blog directory. Your WP blog is lookin’ perty. I like how you have your flickr photos lined up.
Abo,
Damned lawyers. Can you believe Raman is actually leaving PB? Global warming I tell you. Yeah, I don’t know how I feel about the google ads. I figured our readers were so smart and no one would actually click on them, but according to the stats 873 people aren’t as smart as I thought. (just look at all those people still using Internet Explorer) From those 873 people we have made 92 cents. Pretty silly stuff, but it’s one more thing to keep me distracted on the internet so let’s see what happens.
HP,
Yo daddy.
DT,
What can we do to get you to start using Firefox?
My stats page don’t work, what’s up w/ that? I did check the general stats page and it seems I am ahead of Elena by one, yay! … Also, what’s with the Adsense? Did you not like BlogAds? I noticed you were testing them out the other day…
Oso, don’t talk to HP that way! I guess this is 76.
Da bubbly, da bubbly.Da bubbly, da bubbly. Da bubbly, da bubbly.Da bubbly, da bubbly…
I. can’t. stop. saying. Da bubbly, da bubbly.
Congrats!
you know I always thought (still think) that HP commented way too much but I guess I am the next closest person to him, in terms of number of comments made. man, what does that say about me?
Seyd,
If you just drop it in your WP directory it should work as is. About the AdSense … still trying it out. Yeah, I thought about BlogAds, still thinking about BlogAds. But mostly thinking about no ads at all. Then again, we’ve made 63 cents so far today which is enough for a taco de trompo. (I actually started using AdSense when I saw your link to the firefox plugin)
Cindylu,
Tranquis tiger. I was actually just quoting HP’s favorite rapper, Easy-E from Compton. Yeah, different Easy-E. I thought he’d appreciate it. I’ll make you a tamal when you get to 100. I wonder how many comments I’ve left on your blog.
EMC,
Good to chant, good to drink. I like the gravatar. Looks like it comes from a Jones Soda bottle.
Beckie,
Thanks. I’ve been such a bad San Diegan lately. At least that old putz is finally stepping down.
Elenamary,
Come come. If it makes you feel better, you’ve been reading this blog for much longer than HP. And in all honesty, I think HP has added more to this blog than anyone else. It’s a shame he’s always wrong.
I’ll show you who is daddy when I go down to Monterrey and get you to go out…I make it a point to party party party on my vacations. Hopefully your girl will allow you some time off from doing her laundry to come hang out w/ the fellahs.
…And in all honesty, I think HP has added more to this blog than anyone else. It’s a shame he’s always wrong.
Yeah, added more both literally and figuratively. Damn, I spend more time on this blog than my own, I am right behind you Oso, and this is your blog. But, always wrong? Don’t you mean always ‘right’, afterall, I am the ‘right’-winger.
And Cindylu, mi amor, thanks for watching my back, you know my heart still yearns for when we were together.
Must install that stats page, stat. Thanks for the pointer.
Oso, I’m not sure I would want to eat a tamal made by a white boy. It just wouldn’t feel right.
HP, who the hell still uses yearn? Have you been reading victorian era literature? Muah.
I was feeling romantic at the time.
MUAH right back at you, my love.
No, I meant http://el-oso.net/blog/wp-stats.php?author=seyd wasn’t working. It is now.
So I was checking the Stats and I see: Elena, Elenita, and Elenamary! It’s so confusing. Silly me, I confusing Elena with Elena Mary thinking I was ahead of Elena Mary, but OF COURSE she’s way up there at 120.
I don’t even know what the hell firefox is.
DT..I’m forced to use IE at work, so we are both in the same MS boat.
Whoaaaaaaaa!
I posted more than Abogado? Wow!
I clicked on the “DD” link and saw my dorky comments! LOL! I’m such a dork.
Hi Oso! Just checking in!
sorry DD but I’ve gotcha beat. And if you count my pre-Abogado days I am second only behind the prolific HP.
First exam tomorrow. Don’t think I’ll make it.
Come on Abogado……please concede. Please? Pretty please? lol!
You’re just trying to get one more post closer.
YEp!
Wait a minute! I got screwed! How are you 2 ahead?
Just playing!
