A milestone

Today some lucky visitor to LTG represented my 100,000th page view.  Congratulations!  You win equal shares of my gratitude and sympathy.  Yep, that’s just the kind of thing this blog is known for.

Now trust me when I tell you that 100,000 page views is no big deal.  No doubt some blogs achieve in a day what it took me nearly five years to accumulate.  But hey, those big blogs don’t serve up the personal service and consistent poor quality you have come know and expect here at LTG.  I only manage around 50 visits daily, but then again, just how many die hard masochists can one blog expect to attract?

So let’s see what we can discover about this mystery reader.  According to sitemeter, number 100,000 joined us from Marietta, Georgia USA.  What brought this visitor was a link at ROKdrop to last weeks “Yoja of the Week” feature.  See?  There was a method to my madness–who can resist gazing at a beautiful Korean woman?  Anyway, I hope my guest was not disappointed.  I do note that he or she did not stick around long enough to look at anything else I had posted.  Which may indicate a highly evolved intelligence.  Most people need to see three or four of my inane ramblings before they realize that their first impression was entirely correct.  Good job Marietta!

As long as I’m in sitemeter, let’s see what other useful nuggets we can find.  Well, no surprise that the leader in referrals to LTG is ROKdrop.  Those linklet’s really drive traffic.  Thanks guys.

My most read post recently was the issue involving Juicy bars and prostitution.

My most commented on post was written way back in April 2005 where I tweaked the noses of European snobs (is that redundant?) as economic weaklings.

And I’ve had visitors from all corners of the world (I thought it was round?), including in the past few days: USA, Korea, United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, Canada, Kuwait and The Netherlands.  Yeah, I’m bad.

Anyway, I have my fits and starts but I do appreciate spending time with y’all here at LTG.  Thanks for reading!

And so it goes…

Sorry for the break these past couple of days.  Just a general case of the blahs brought on by who knows what.  I know, blame it on the weather!  It done turned cold here in a hurry.  Yesterday was downright blustery and my weather pixie tells me the current temperature is 27 degrees.  Brrr.

We completed the dart season with a make up game on Sunday against Kaibigan of Friends Bar.  We did the game at Gecko’s, which although far from my favorite venue, is light years nicer than Friends.  Actually, my issue at Gecko’s isn’t the playing conditions, it’s the service.  I’d call it slow but that wouldn’t be accurate.  It’s glacial.

My dart game remains as cold as the weather.  I contributed a 3-6 performance in a losing effort.  We did take enough legs to clinch a playoff spot where anything is possible.  Actually, over the course of the season, we beat every team once.  It’s just that our margin of victory in those games was much smaller than the deficit of our losses, i.e. we tend to win small and lose big.  In the playoffs that won’t matter and we are certainly capable of fighting our way to a championship.  We just need to put it altogether, and me finding my game would be a big help in that regard.

Busy at work as well, with several big events on the horizon.  10 months to go.

Thanks to ROKdrop for the linklets.  I feel bad I didn’t have anything “fresh” to offer all the readers he sent my way.  Ah well, I expect most of my loyal visitors anticipate being disappointed which makes the occasional surprise all the sweeter, right?

Right?
