We've topped the one-million hit mark. In a time when some web sites get that many hits in a day (sites like Google and YouTube and NudeBaldBabes.com) that may not seem like much, so let me put it in terms that you can grasp:
If we count each post and each comment trail as a page, there are about 4350 pages on the blog. Throw in the pages on the other EE blogs and lay them end to end and we have a mile of pages. Assuming one million minions have read everything here, we have a million miles of read pages. Measured in kilometers, that's enough to reach the Andromeda Galaxy.
At our current pace we'll reach a billion hits in 2000 years. I don't think I'll last that long, so we have to increase the pace. If each of the thousand people who come here daily would convince 1000 other people to come here daily, we'd get a million visits a day, and a billion in three years. Three years sounds much more do-able than 2000 years. Let us go forth and multiply.
By the way, NudeBaldBabes.com was the fifth joke porn site I made up before I finally got one that didn't actually exist.

Woo hoo! Glad I was here!
Wasn't me. Honest.
Congratulations on hitting the million. Good look on your quest for the billion. I enjoy coming here -- it brightens my day.
Oh God, I hope it wasn't me that cheated (by accident). Did I not follow the instructions?
The good news is I can now watch Hell's Kitchen and basketball without having to monitor the counter.

You got two TV sets, or you use the flashback button to switch between them? Do you ever get confused?
Yessss! Congratulations!
I'm turning off comment moderation so those wh wish to commune with one another may do so while I watch TV,
Which station is Hell's Kitchen on?
What is it with you and that Ramsay guy? This is much bigger.
You are soooo bad. Are you really leaving?
Congratulations.
I see NudeBaldBabes.com gotcha in Rule 34. Amazing the depth of porn on the net.
Again, congratulations and another million more.
You don't look a day over 500,000
Fox
*putting on the party hat!*
Woo-hoo! Congrats! Cheers!
OK. I'm there.
Hey. It's some kind of quiz show.
Crap. ril, are you watchin it too?
Well dammit. I'm turning it on as well. And then I'm gonna have a big time with it. Oh yeah.
Congrats, EE!
I only have 987 friends but I think I can convince most of them to do a weekly drive-by.
Bye for now!
ME
A toast to the milestone! And, really, don't you think a Writing Exercise involving the NudeBaldBabes is in order?
Oh, now you turn off moderation. Can't stay to chat - maybe everyone will still be around in about an hour?
I can't believe he is going to watch tv! What the heck?
phoenix- get him, please.
You just missed some kind of show that destroys marriages for entertainment. Gotta remember that one for next week.
Where's everybody going?
Hell's Kitchen is fun humiliation by a short, ill-tempered {bleep}.
How can you be a chef and not cook a steak well? The screw up chopping vegetables and even I know what a Mira Poi and a brunoise is. Not to mention a Mise En Plas ...
I'll celebrate more enthusiastically when we hit our millionth unique visitor. This is a million hits by 32 people.
Yep- phoenix - hopefully he'll let us have some fun for a while.
Where's everybody going?
Hell's Kitchen is on Fox now!
32 loyal minions, EE.
I take Hell's Kitchen is a chef show.
The only show I watch and blog at the same time is 24. Well, was. Guess I'll have to wait until 2009 for that one again.
It appears to be a chef in underwear show if I'm on the right station...
I can't believe I have this damn show on.
freddie- you might as well turn it on, honey. Fox.
I'll celebrate more enthusiastically when we hit our millionth unique visitor. This is a million hits by 32 people.~
I consider myself pretty damned unique, thank you, very much.
Dave, I know you are talented and I also know there's no spell check here, but Mira Poi, sheesh!!!
Mirepoix, also mirepois (celery, onions and carrots) said to have been named after C.P.G.F. de Levis, Duke of Mirepoix, 18th century French diplomat.
ME
This is NOT a reality show. I'm just sayin'.
Ahhhh. The boob women are on now.
NOW I see.
Alright, EE got me thinking. Who are the 32 most loyal minions. As a matter of fact, make it 50? And they can't be newbies.
Those chefs are like aspiring writers. No wait, that's all wrong. They have nothing ion common with writers other than aspiring to be rich and famous.
Thankfully, I have disconnected cable. I might not even turn it back on after the move.
Okay, I'm on it.
What's with the porn star-looking women? Are they from NudeBaldBabes, do you think?
Maybe so. They're also bimbo housewives. Great combo.
I can't spell French. It's such a funny language. When I think of three words in French I think of KISS, FRY and PRESS.
Same as Turkish - I can spell three words - COFFEE, TOWEL, BATH
Most loyal minions?
ril
dave
phoenix...
With all that hair flowing, I wouldn't want to have to eat anything they make.
ME
Ahhhh, they're housewives. I bet from Orange County. Or whatever that other show is.
I watched the last few episodes of American Idol. No, I guess I didn't. I saw a couple of songs. I've never seen an entire episode.
Cowboy U was mildly amusing for a reality show.
paca
BT...
Dave, you forgot
TAFFY
ME
Yeah, ME, I'm waiting for the judge to choke on a hair.
No tomato sauce in the pasta. Imagine!
Please. Robin, you know you make the most loyal minions list.
When making a list of loyal minions don't forget to add:'
Robin! The Loyal and Lusty minion
Yeah. Wow. Sizzle on the red hot stove, baby.
That pasta looked as good as I could make it. I should be on that show.
IF I cook without a shirt, I get hot grease spatters on my chest. Now ny chest is not delicate. If might be hairy and sunken (like Davy Jones' Locker) but not delicate.
How did they cook with that cleavage?
Hey- I have been around a while.
But I was thinking of the ones that predated me. Who else was here in 2006 and still around?
rofl, I just made an indelicate remark and got booted.
Sorry, God!
Wasn't Paula Abdul a Laker Girl?
Did they show Jack yet?
Maybe EE has picture in picture?
ME
You guys have a TV in your computer room I see. I can only come to the computer during ads.
Jules - were you a bad girl?!
Go for it, honey!
Yeah, I got a TV and a bed and a Mr. Coffee right here.
Hmmm . . . that's a good question. I don't think I found this site until 2007.
EE honey- get a laptop.
I have a 100 foot ethernet cable on my computer.
Not only that, I've rigged mirrors so I can see the TV from the throne.
Yep. Laptop.
How fun is that hotel life, ril?
The spousal unit is in one tonight as well -in Florida.
Jules - were you a bad girl?!
Speaking of which, I reserved my rooms for Surrey today.
You might want to close those curtains, Dave...
Dave, TMI. TMI.
Not only that, I've rigged mirrors so I can see the TV from the throne.
Dave, I would so kill you dead and not even bother to make it look like an accident.
The spousal unit is in one tonight as well -in Florida.
Yeah, we were just talking about you.
By the way, EE. WO emailed and said congrats - he's asleep, as it's 2:30 am wih him.
I'm very careful NOT to bring about the apocalypse. The world would end if I ever appeared naked.
Yeah, we were just talking about you.
rofl
I can see I am getting no writing done tonight.
Not only that, I've rigged mirrors so I can see the TV from the throne.
More than I needed or wanted to know.
ME
31 loyal minions and one treacherous one. I'm not naming names. I'm just sayin' is all.
What is it with the boob women and the cooking show? What'd I miss? And there's a basketball game on now? Crud. I'm missing it.
Speaking of loyal minions, she doesn't come around as much any more but she's among the top for loyalty, I think. Anyone stopped by Brenda's to let her know of this little soiree?
That British host so reminds me of a former violin student I had. Brutal.
Congrats, EE. Super achievement.
BTW, I just registered NudeBaldBabes.com and have already had 300,000 hits. It should hit one million hits as soon as the bars close on the East Coast. I can't wait to see what happens when I replace the "Under Construction" notice with actual content. Thanks, dude!
--Bill H.
Oh yeah, ril.
There's hell on earth for Robin.
You giving him all the dirt on me. And then, maybe worse, him reciprocating.
I'm very careful NOT to bring about the apocalypse. The world would end if I ever appeared naked.
Just rigging up mirrors so you can watch tv in the bathroom is enough to bring about your end.
Not that end.
I know men who would kill for a TV in the throne room. Their wives know better than to let them put the cable in there. They'd never come out, ever again.
Hey Pete and Bill!
No about Brenda. And Bernita.
We need to let them know. Who's going to do it?
NudeBaldBabes.com
Most babies are bald. What's the draw here?
Do you notice that Gordon Ramsey insults and mocks the losers by making clean up after the winner.
He's sewing the seeds of discontent.
Hey Bill-
If you get that puppy up and running, we really need to know!
I know men who would kill for a TV in the throne room. Their wives know better than to let them put the cable in there. They'd never come out, ever again.
No, they wouldn't. I have a very nice set of power tools and they would be hermetically sealed for all eternity in there.
So pjd is Pete, right? Same guy?
It's cheaper just to keep a bucket in the living room.
yep Freddie
I just posted a comment at Brenda's place, but I think she mostly ignores me. She's a smart girl.
Oh add to the loyal minion list:
Sylvia
Chris
writtenword
dece
buffysquirrel
pjd
wonderwood (who could forget him??)
ME (of course)
ril we don't need no discussions of thunder mugs.
Right, freddie. pjd is Pete. He's a sweetie. Did you ever visit his blog?
Pete has the most adorable little boys.
A good friend of mine during college football season had a big-screen TV with PIP, and he'd perch another 17" on top of it. He called it Picture In Picture AND Picture.
Then he put a portable TV in the bathroom. Really. Sadly, he's passed away, but he really liked his football.
And yes, you are correct. He was a bachelor.
Aw, thanks Julie. I'm kind of partial to them myself.
And Sarah, freddie, bill h (under an assumed name).
New loyals....julie, kiersten...
I've been to Andromeda. Nothing there. No editors at all--evil or otherwise.
:)
Watching Hell still?
Big boo boo with Bobby's beef.
And yes, you are correct. He was a bachelor.
Oh, I figured that.
My tv loving husband is now a bachelor also.
Hey buffy!
Jules: The Loyal and Delicate Minion
Does Miss Snark count as minion?
ME
Bobby cremated the steak. English style.
Aw, thanks Julie. I'm kind of partial to them myself.
They really are sweet looking.
Love kids. Wish I'd had six.
The tall black chef. touted himself as the Black Gordon Ramsey in the very first episode. Ramsey has given him hell ever since.
I have once or twice.
Managing a plate of chicken and a demanding cat, along with my computer. I'd like to see Gordon Ramsey do this.
Yes, glad you mentioned the delicate minion.
*preens prettily*
Actually- the only way I can stand beef is charred. With steak sauce.
Congrats, EE! The only thing that could've made this milestone more momentous is if it happened on June 13, 3:33PM Eastern.
Love kids. Wish I'd had six.
Er, did you mean sex?
ME
I miss Miss Snark.
What is sex?
Another loyal minion: Hayden Christensen. Here's why. (Scroll down to #9.)
Visited pjd's blog, that is, Robin.
Yeah, ME, what is sex?
What is sex?
OK. When two people like each other very very much and...
I fI cook it myself, I can eat RARE steak. I mean rare, bloody rare, nearly mooing rare.
BUT I have to do the dirty deed. I will not trust a restaurant to give me rare beef.
Nicely medium rare and juicy is restaurant food.
Ha! Good one, Pete. Hayden is gonna put EE on a whole new map!
freddie- did you see that thing about linking?
Congratulations, E.E.
I am somewhat disappointed that you don't plan to be here for 2000 more years.
I think that depriving citizens of the 41st century of your wisdom is just mean-spirited.
Perhaps you could go the Walt Disney route?
OK, Gordon Ramsey just ordered up some, ah, companions...
yeah, Jules, the sex thing. Um. Surrey sounds like a good idea.
Go wild, girl. Go wild.
Hey Robin! *waves*
I did, Robin. I answered on my comments. Meant to stop by your blog and let you know, but . . . I'm easily distracted. Answer is yes! Thank you!
laughs. Sneaky, Pete.
Or mention Friday Night Lights. I related a, to me, humorous story about some high school adventures of my OHS student son and PHS rich boys in another blog. Explaining these schools were the Friday Night Lights schools got me a few thousand hits.
Hey BT and Ulysses! Ulysses - I thought you won until I reread the rules.
This show just brings back too many bad memories of working in restaurants.
How's it goin', Miss Buff?
Undercooked Tandoori ?
Ramsey has a slight hate on tonight for that one gal.
but I thought you were the font of all Evil, EE, meaning you would be around to torment us for at least 2000 years more.
But a million hits is great. dont' leave us for at least another two years. Or we'll hunt you down. And you know what happens next... Yes, Vogon poetry, that's what!
OK. When two people like each other very very much and...
So I have to find someone who likes me very very much?
So much for that project.
Damn, this show is taking a lot out of me.
I wonder if any of the guests can hear all the yelling going on in the kitchen.
Yeah, me too, Jules.
yeah, Jules, the sex thing. Um. Surrey sounds like a good idea.
You think I'll have a better chance of finding someone who likes me very very much there?
What is sex?
Yeah, ME, what is sex?
Fun? Slippery when wet? Like falling off a bike?

Aw, I like you, Julie.
I actually tried to check out nudebaldbabes.com and got a who is page of all things.
Freddie, yes they hear when he screams at the top of his lungs.
the first season, one table waited so long that they ordered pizza delivered into the restaurant. Ramsey nearly stroked out at that antic.
Pete, you are so sweet.
Perhaps you could go the Walt Disney route?
Producing black market animated porn shorts to keep his studio afloat in times of financial strife? Seems a bit of a stretch for EE.
I was first mangled here in May 2006! Wow....
Well, Robin, I'm banging my head against the Artist Who Never Answers Emails atm.
You?
:D
Like falling off a bike?
Falling off a bike was always painful to me.
When Hell's Kitchen is over, can someone tell me who's voted off. These thunderstorms have our satellite (which just told me it's at full signal) doing some crazy stuff.
Like falling off a bike?
Falling off a bike was always painful to me.
Oooh. Yeah.
the first season, one table waited so long that they ordered pizza delivered into the restaurant. Ramsey nearly stroked out at that antic.
rofl Love it.
You guys- someday we really DO have to get all together. I'm serious.
Like falling off a bike?
My bad. That's love.
ME
i remember that one julie. i like ramsey's craziness -- he's like many a chef i've worked for actually.
Sure, xiexie. It's about to happen.
I know, Rob. That would be fun.
Someone mentioned there is anon sex at writer's conferences, but I'm on a tight budget. I couldn't afford more than a quick smell.
Yep, you're a man. Here's your dollar.
xiexie - EE can give you a blow-by-blow- as he is a Gordon addict, apparently!
We have storms here, too.
Hey buff- I came in January 2007, got my query skewered a few months later. Ouch, baby.
And yet- we're still here! Do ya feel the love, baby?
i remember that one julie. i like ramsey's craziness -- he's like many a chef i've worked for actually.
I don't like screaming men.
I kind of like Christina. She seems to be holding up well.
I don't scream.
I've been known to seeth, though.
I think the Jen girl is going...
I have to leave after Hell's Kitchen. Too much stuff to do before I sleep.
I'm lost, ril.
What's the scream thing?
Ooh. Heinekin Beertender.
They run too many commercials before they get to the part where they throw a chef off...
Keep up, Robin.
Julie said she doesn't like men who scream (like Gordon "Screamer" Ramsay).
We were setting a new electric pole once and I accidentally killed the winch truck and dropped the pole. Don started screaming at me about killing the truck, so I went to the house.
He came in about 20 minutes later and asked me why I left when he was still talking to me.
I told him he wasn't talking he was screaming and if he was going to scream, I wasn't going to help him.
He said I have to.
I said, "Sorry, I'm baking bread now. Maybe later."
I agree, Robin.
If anyone's ever in Chicago . . .
I feel the yawns :); it's way past my nest time.
Night, all!
You guys- someday we really DO have to get all together. I'm serious.
Yes!
ME
You bake your own bread? Awesome.
Night, Buffy...
'Night Buffy and Dave
ME
That's a nice one, Julie. "I'm baking bread now."
Next time you should make it worse. Y'know, get busied by the most strenuous undertaking like "I'm eating this yogurt..."
Jen lives to cook another day...
Bobby had a bad night and it cost him the contest.
Night Buffy and Dave.
Yes, I make really good bread. I used to sell a lot of it.
Night, Buffy.
Xiexie, Bobby just got axed.
Oh. I didn't see that, ril.
I agree- I don't like screamers.
I like the moaners.
Night, buff!
PS -WHY IS COOKING ON THIS SHOW LIKE A WAR?
I can't believe Jen didn't get axed.
You think Jen and Christina will bond?
Have a good time, minions. Enjoy the milestone and congrats again to EE for his time and effort.
Nite Buffy. Thanx freddie and Dave F.
Me either. And I can't believe I cared.
Congrats, EE. I only wish I'd found you sooner.
Greetings from Mexico, by the way.
Hmmm speaking of bread it's time to have a treat: toast with butter and sugar. :D
I can't believe Jen didn't get axed.
She proposed a threat.
ME
I feel like I just watched a soap opera with bleeps and scallops.
No shit! LOL!
Next time you should make it worse. Y'know, get busied by the most strenuous undertaking like "I'm eating this yogurt..."~
Well, I was up on a 55 gallon barrel once, helping build some kennels. He tacked the top pipe wrong so I was knocking it loose with a 20 pound sledge hammer. Then I started watching the pasture to see what the dogs were watching. He touched me on the butt with a hot welding rod and I dropped the sledge hammer on his head.
I asked him why he didn't just say something. He was still on his knees and not very coherent, but he said he did and I didn't hear him. He didn't want to yell at me.
Man why don't they ever dump Jen. She's so annoying.
Hey, Miss k!
Kier, they have Internet in Mexico?
Hey, Miss K!
EE, you're having a good party, ya know.
Hello!
Whoa, not my keyboard, I very nearly swore at poor Julie. That would have been a first. For me.
And EE, I can't believe you don't want to be doing this in 2000 years.
Okay, now for Chicago news.
More problems with the Red Line tonight. Some guy tried to jump the tracks after robbing a store. He fell onto the track and got run over by a train.
Y'all are rooting for this gal to get dumped?
Cars, too. Who knew.
My sister's in-laws are at another house that has wireless. Mine, alas, does not.
Man why don't they ever dump Jen. She's so annoying.
I know! I was just saying that! But ME says she poses a threat.
Yes, we hate her.
Howdy, Key!
Ewwww on the train thing. Chicago sounds like Metro DC.
Glad you could make it Kier!
ME
Whoa, not my keyboard, I very nearly swore at poor Julie. That would have been a first. For me.
Oops, sorry.
What a party. EE, loved the "A million hits by 32 people."
I'm one, right?
Why do you hate her?
Yeah, there have been a few problems this year. But at least we didn't have service cuts.
And of course we have the infamous R. Kelly trial. You can't beat that for entertainment.
