When I began blogging at WordPress, I had few goals. To become googleable. To amuse people. To inform people. To rant about any fucking thing I want. To discuss Squid at endless, tentaculian length.
And to become more popular than the What Not to Crochet blog.
Now, don’t get me wrong. It is an amusing blog, one whose entries I have covered here in the past. I have nothing against the blogger, nor any dispute about what she says is and is not to be crocheted. Such things are indisputable.
Particularly the pasties.
And it is a blog that the world dearly needs, for lo, have you seen the shit they’re crocheting lately?
Still.
I am happy to report that yesterday, for the first time in recorded history, raincoaster beat out What Not to Crochet on WordPress’s top blogs. I can now die vindicated; useless inanities and rants are more popular than crochet-specific fashion advice.

You’re only 11 after All Angelina Jolie…not half bad.
but ya know — a lot of that ranking is self-fulfillilng prophecy. Oh, they’re on the list, people like me go there, click around, and they stay on the list. The blogs that attracted my attention were not that interesting.
no 43, I’m proud of you!
I found a cool blog about Sri Lanka – Raincoaster – why no coverage of the Sri Lankan civil war on your site?????? Will you join me in a call for a ceasefire?
Lori, thanks for keeping me humble. You know how I love that.
Steven, thanks for the compliment, but as to your request: when do I have the fucking time? I had something north of 20 comments yesterday!
Canadians have been working towards a ceasefire and the disarming of the Tamil Tigers for decades. Just because you’re not aware that people are informed and taking action does not mean that they’re not.
And what in GOD’S NAME ever made you think I take requests?
