You are now #222222 Second SECOND on my blog, I absolutely knew you could do it, atta go baby!, 1+1=2 and 10 /5 is 2... sorry I didn't edit this. (ha, did I break all 5 of the rules here?). Seriously, great points
Which is really number one because your number one is the link to post a comment!
But, alas, I cheated -- I went to your site and clicked on my link, went back and clicked again, repeated process ten or twelve times -- but who cares? I'm popular! Ahem, if it is only with myself...
as of now you are #1 both with the blog stats and me personally (shhhh, but it's a secret)
Won't tell a soul.
