The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
About 1,000,000 people visit the Seattle Space Needle every year. This blog was viewed about 4,100,000 times in 2013. If it were the Space Needle, it would take about 4 years for that many people to see it.

That’s good stuff. Congratulations!

Again, I will stake my claim to 100,000 of those hits. My wife suggested visiting this site a little less often when I have ‘work’ to do. I told her not to blaspheme.

Too bad those top five are not the top five in the Fabris pool. Thank you Senator, look forward to your brilliance every morning. Happy New Year to all!

That’s only because the top Five Fingers of Death binge posters are so busy posting that they don’t have time to meaningfully study the Fabris sweepstakes. They all need to get haircuts and get real jobs. Besides, why bother when Turbodawg wins, places or shows every year.

Turbo dawg is not a real person, ya know? I nominate Mac as the word monger of GTP post, that is until Ivy leaguer showed up.

2014 Predictions for GTP
* Hit #5,000,000 occurs Jan 6 when GSU hires Bobo
* Will Trane takes the commenting lead by August
* DIF starts his own blog in China; becomes premier in their next Year of the Dawg
* To break the summer lull, the Senator posts about Tech daily. It works.
* September brings the Todd Gurley photo of the Day
Congrats for such great success Senator. You’re rolling in the $$$ now!

Thank you! I’ve waited so long to win anything, I thought the Academy would never give overbearing repetitive acts the recognition it truly deserves and in the highly unlikely act that I’ve ever offended anybody, I’ll try harder next year. I do have respectfully decline setting up a regime in China unless it’s in Kowloon. Bangkok of course would be the preferred locale because of the ladies.
