operation global media domination: beating out the happy hookers

Posted on by

TIAWhen 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.

Operation Global Media Domination: Blackzilla, conqueror of blogs

Posted on by

TIACrushing all in its path, Blackzilla has taken giant strides to the head of the raincoaster blog, with over 100 google hits over the past two days. Darren and Joanne? Ovah. Beautiful Agony? Suffering. Mad mentos and diet coke Scientists? Sputtering out.

The upcoming newcomers, all of whom have had their thunder stolen by my several-days-old Blackzilla posting, include T.W.A.T. in the Air, which several clueless commentors failed to identify as a joke, thus making themselves into punchlines; the Canadian patriotic post Beaver Shots (inexplicable; whodathunk Canadians would be so popular, eh?); and We Are All Gwyneth, for who among us is not, really?
