It never went viral. It wasn’t about a subject that made people mad and generated comments that way. I just asked my friends and random strangers to come and hang around and have some fun. And we did it.
I don’t know if it is a record or not. But I know we got more comments than posts that did go viral and got millions of views. I guess technically I have to admit that half of the comments are mine, because I answered ever single comment I got. But I learned a lot about the loyalty of old friends. I also met a lot of new friends.
Now I feel sort of lost. I don’t know where to go. This is like when world war two ended. Everybody was focused on one goal for so long… and all of a sudden the war was over and people looked around and wondered what to do next.
Tomorrow I am going to do a post about some of the people who made the commenting so much fun. My loyal minion horde… my friends.
Then I guess I will go back to doing the normal abnormal stuff I do around here.
But do not despair!
I have some ideas for that post with the 15,000 comments.
We are going to keep it alive and go back there now and then to play!
We might have drunk Friday night parties there.
We can have reunions.
And maybe someday we will get that sucker up to 25,000 comments.
But for right now, it feels a little like this…

Pouring My Art Out 
Coolio!
Eglaiseas
nice
I think I spelled it wrong, but thanks.
I thought it was on purpose!
yeah… it was… that’s what I meant…
Woot woot! Time for the party.
I did try and Google “most comments ever received on a blog post” but Google didn’t want to play along. I couldn’t find a comment record to beat.
They say they don’t keep track… they divide ‘views’ and ‘visitors’ and track all our stats but they don’t keep track of totals… weird huh?
Guess it’s up to us. Or maybe there’s somebody counting somewhere, deep in the basement of the WordPress building…
ssshhhhhh… do not anger the overlords…
You’re Welcome! 🙂
Ha… tell me your idea
questions and answers obviously! There is a radio station here WXRT that one of the D.J.’s answers a listeners question on air. He chose mine not too long ago. I asked what was wrong with me?
ooohhh… I like it… I just did a post about my minions and I mentioned you…
It’s beautiful! (sniffsniff & wiping a tear)
oh stop… before you make me cry
I feel different. I thought the magnetic field had a slightly different pull today, and that the earth had maybe tilted on it’s axis, and then I read your blog and I KNEW it was true. You DID IT! Holy tamale. It’s a WORLD RECORD. Well, it would be if someone actually kept a record of that kind of important stuff. Congratulations Buddy. You did good. You did excellent. You will live in infamy. Is that the right word? Lol. I look forward to reliving the highlights.
I like to live in infamy without having to bomb Pearl Harbor first… thanks!
A noble effort! I am typing this through teary eyes. (not mine those of my little dog who is on my lap (she has a condition). You made it happen! Seriously. That’s pretty cool!
I made your dog cry???
Yes. And she’s only cried one other time when she was watching the Kentucky Derby and her horse came in first.
Ha! You crack me up
And you, me!
yay!
I hope my pointless comments made a difference.
They did and they do and they weren’t… did you get that?
Not at all.
good… I still got it
Oh and for some reason I am now Anonymous so I am not awesome. Love Hasty
Oh… hey Hasty buddy!
You are awesome…just so you know I know.
Thank you, mysterious someone!
Congrats! I’m sorry life kept me from doing more than I did, but I was happy to be a small part of the history making! 🙂 Looking forward to see what you’re up to next! 🙂
I will try not to let you down… thanks
Woot! Let’s here it for ART! He’s the man!
And for blogging families, big and small, old and new!
Big bloggy love, coming at ya!
YAY US!
Hooray! You should do something special for comment #15,000 if you can figure out who left you. It.
I am not sure how to figure that out, but there is a 50/50 chance it was me!
IF so, you can pat yourself on the back … I don’t know how to do it either. Maybe there is some one at Word Press who can answer that question.
Cue the evil laughter.
yeah… those guys… sheesh…
Yay!!!
When is the “We Did It!” party?
I don’t know how to do that… maybe this weekend we will try… and end up with 20,000 comments…
🙂 – How to do that… well, first of all, everybody will have to bring their own beverages, I guess… And we need to figure something out to make it easy on your wrist. Oh, and allow yourself some time to calm down as needed!
And it will be like the middle of the night or day where you are…
As I am my own boss I can adjust my schedule to allow some fun in. And it’s not unusual to stay up late on a Friday night (I guess it will be night). I just can’t promise that I won’t fall head first on the keyboard at some point…
I never promise that… ha
hey pal i love those cartoons of you would it be too cheeky to request one of me? I could email you a clearer pic.
Just sign up for Bitstrips.com! You can make your own.
Thanks for the info
They are fun to do. You might have to have Facebook…
Yep created one but not sure it looks like me your’s is the splitting image how do you transfer it from fb to your blog?
share it with Facebook and then copy it from in there.
cheers
beers
deers
fears… you should come down and comment on the ‘comment here’ post… make history
okey dokey get my second of fame!
yay
hey that’s cheating fears has an ‘a’ not ‘ ee’!
jeers
seers… now come down and comment on the post called ***comment here*** or click on the link…
i can’t be arsed to find it woke up too early at 5am if you send me the link I’ll comment
Woah! We rocked it!
Yeah we did…
So can I flirt with your wife now?
You can try… but she doesn’t read my blog…
That strikes me as unfair. You get to ask all the ladies to flirt with you but she’s shielded from the men?
I have ruined her for all other men anyway… any way you want to take that…
I think it’d be hilarious if you had a rotting hand coming out of the grave dirt there to reach for that rose.
I might still do something else with that pic… I thought of that already
Bwahahaha, nice, we seem to be in similar vein of humor, then.
Ooops, just out of force of habit I went and left a comment on the “Comment Here” post.
Congratulations! Minion party!!! YAAAA!!
We can still leave comments there
Congrats!
thanks
Woot congrats!
thanks
Congrats! I never had any doubt that you (and we) would do it. (Okay, I did have some doubts because the number kept changing…and the bar kept getting set higher and higher). But 15,000+. THAT is impressive.
We could do more if you want…
We DID it! I could booty clap my balcony railing right now! Yay to the yayness!
I have no idea what that booty clap thing means but I like the sound of it!
