Hard to believe this site started as a joke by Retired Geezer over six years ago when WordPress was brand new.

Here’s an excerpt:
About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 300,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 5 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!

Shouldn’t there be an Award of some kind?
OK, seriously, I’ve met some really neat friends here, some even face to face.
Thanks to all our excellent Commenters but most of all Michael, who holds it all together. (and pays the bill).
I am mentioned in the annual report! It is like I am a board member or something.
**Struts around self-importantly.**
How the fuck did Laura wind up the top two commenters?
…
oh, email change.
Plus, they don’t count me.
They also don’t count my hits. It’s like they think I would stoop so low as to rig the numbers.
*vows to cut back on IB commenting
*Vows to poke lw with a stick so she comments more*
*vows to watch lw kick the shit out of geoff*
*vows to review medical plan before making any more vows*
*Vows to crochet colorful cozies for casts and crutches*
*vows to love you guys better in 2013, as if that’s even possible*
*vows to get loved on better and also to take vitamins*
*vows to eat a grilled colbyjack cheese sammich with bacon and sliced tomatoes during the Outback Bowl*
*with BBQ chips and pickels on the side*
*with homemade potato bread*
*vows that by “homemade” I mean you dump stuff in the Panasonic bread machine and wait four hours*
Happy new year, Bystanders*.
*I don’t think anyone here is innocent anymore. Most of you have commented or at least lurked at The Hostages at some point.
I’m like, sweet. Mostly.
Seems kinduv weird that my name made the cut. I’ve spammed a few old threads like a manic crack-head, but I mostly just lurk from time to time. Still, unearned credit is the best kind. So, Michael: you’re welcome.
