Are
You Clever?
Return to Home Page
Every time we pass another 1,000 visitors, I add a "crawling comment" to the home page. Now, you can try YOUR luck at coming up with something good/funny/clever/incisive/legendary/sarcastic.
Please, avoid being mean-spirited or just plain vicious. I've given this lots of thought and a friend who works for a paper in the suburbs helped me see the light.
Send me a good line to follow, "We are over xx,xxx visitors . . . " and it might get used on the home page. We'll post them all here and then choose one for the home page. Let me know if you want me to use your name! If so, I'll put it right with your contribution on the home page.
An example: We are over 34,000 visitors. That matches the number of lifetime cheeseburgers eaten by Ted.
Most of all, have fun.
