Helllooo Top 10K!

Some time last night I officially moved into the Top 10k on Technorati, as I had anticipated I would probably do soon in an earlier post. I must admit I don’t really feel any different. There’s no flood of advertisers begging me to place ads for their latest greatest products on my blog and I most certainly still do not have a hot tub full of Gummy babes, despite what Mark thinks ;) However with this new “success” I’ve decided to make a few changes around here. I’ve put them together into a nice little list for you. Please feel free to sign your name in a comment to let me know you agree and will abide by these changes. Thank you :)

  1. I would like to now be known as Technorati Boy instead of Mike. I think it’s catchy and marketable.
  2. When commenting on any of my posts you as the reader will agree to leave me one pork egg roll. I get hungry while reading comments.
  3. It’s okay to shower me with words of flattery, admiration and love/lust. In fact I expect it.

Just three changes. I don’t think it’s too much to ask, do you? I’m seriously considering tattooing my hindquarters with “Top 10K”. Of course when I reach the Top 5k I’ll have to find something else to tattoo.

*Disclaimer: I’m not really a pompous and arrogant nutbag. I just play one on TV.

    Hey Technorati Boy! Congrats on making the top 10K. I hope you think about it when you’re in your hot tub with all your gummy babes while I’m sleeping in the gutter trying to catch rats for food. *e-tear*

    You rock, Technorati Boy! That’s great news. Some words of advice:

    1. About the hot tub – build it and they will come. :)
    2. Tattooing “Top 10K”. Please be careful on this one. I’d wait and see how you do with those pork egg rolls first, then decide if the drawing area is more suitable for “Top 10K” instead of “Top 10,000 on Technorati”. As an artist I’m sure you’re aware of the importance of white space. Just wait and see what size canvas you have to work with. :D

    Hey, I see that with your lofty ranking you’ve decided to remove the math question. Didn’t even notice until now. As I hit submit, I went, “Oh crap, I didn’t enter the number so I’m going to have to type it all over again!”

    Whew!

  4. Brown Baron 18 July 2007 at 4:43 pm Permalink

    Wait a minute .. I already memorized the answer to that math question! Geez .. I spend 2 months memorizing the answer to the darn thing and now it’s gone *sniff*

  5. Jos 18 July 2007 at 5:25 pm Permalink

    Congrats again! I’d get a tattoo NOW just saying ‘Top 1k’. By the time you get there, it will be huge.

  6. Danielle 18 July 2007 at 5:26 pm Permalink

    Hardy Har Har!! :D

    Okay, Technorati Boy you will be! But I can’t afford to buy you an egg roll EACH TIME I comment – geez – especially if I want to achieve the 100 comments on your blog in a month mission I am on. That’s like a gazillion dollars or something like that!?

    I think you should follow Mark’s suggestions with regards to the tattoo/egg roll conundrum… because a lot of white space is bad. And if you have to eat an egg roll for every comment, imagine how much bigger it could be!!! The Kamikaze fly would quake with fear. :P

    The reason you have not gotten the offers for advertising is probably because they are having their people contact your people, and it takes a while for the message to get through. Your people are likely just weeding out the substandard offers so as not to bother you with the rabble.

    Good job Technorati Boy!

    I seem to be stuck at around 18,400. :(

  8. Mike 18 July 2007 at 5:29 pm Permalink

    @Bush: Haha…e-tear. You’re not going all emo on us are you? :P

    @Mark: Hahaha…I nearly fell out of my chair when I read that. Whitespace. I definitely have plenty of it :lol: And yes I am math-less now. After all these months. It’s my little gift bestowed upon the peon readers for helping lift me into the top 10k :mrgreen:

    @Baron: Just imagine what you can focus all that brain power on now! :P

  9. Mike 18 July 2007 at 5:32 pm Permalink

    Holy crap more comments after I hit submit :-o

    @Jos – Thanks! :D Where’s my eggroll? :mrgreen: hehe

    @Danielle: That’s true. I suppose you are exempt from the eggrolls since you’re on the 100 comment mission. I wouldn’t want ya to go broke while trying to reach your goal :P …I don’t even think I have people. At least none that I know..hehe.

    @Bucky: 18,400 is good! You’ll get there. I can remember when I was still stuck at like 1.8 million ;P

  10. Mark 18 July 2007 at 5:33 pm Permalink

    @Danielle: LOL You’re too funny! “…quake with fear!” Bwahaha! But on second thought, perhaps he might squeal (or whatever they do) with joy. “Yippeee – it’s mine, it’s alllll mine!”

    @Technorati Boy (a.k.a. Mike): just don’t forget us little guys, okay? Perhaps between all the offers you get, you could throw us a bone every once in a while and leave a comment on our “widdle bwogs”. LOL

  11. Jos 18 July 2007 at 5:43 pm Permalink

    Mike, these eggrolls are nothing but a ‘lame excuse’ for developing all that white space anyway, ha? :D

  12. Christy 18 July 2007 at 5:59 pm Permalink

    Technorati Boy,

    I shower you with my words of admiration, you are the oh so lovely Gummy maker and founder of the Gummy Babe society, I would be honored to drink out of your top ten k Jacuzzi…..now I leave this pork egg roll at your feet….eat oh great one…..eat.

  13. Grace 18 July 2007 at 6:02 pm Permalink

    Congratulations, Technorati Boy! How long did it take you?

  14. Mark 18 July 2007 at 6:08 pm Permalink

    All hail Technorati Boy! [bom bom bom, shooma-looomah] All hail Technorati Boy!

  15. Mike 18 July 2007 at 6:14 pm Permalink

    @Mark: I could never forget any of you. You’re all what makes blogging fun. I couldn’t imagine hanging around with all those boring a-listers :P

    Are you banging your drum? :D

    @Jos: Hehehe…lame excuse :lol:

    @Christy: You’re taking this very well. I would have figured you’d throw the eggroll at me :mrgreen:

    @Grace: Thank you! I’m not sure how long actually. Maybe since ummm…March or so? I dunno. I’d have to figure out when I finally signed up on Technorati ;P

  16. Danielle 18 July 2007 at 6:20 pm Permalink

    Three cheers for the blisters (and me who is not a blister yet!)!!! :D

  17. Mike 18 July 2007 at 6:24 pm Permalink

    You’ll always be a blister to us, Danielle :mrgreen:

    I was going to say you’ll always be a blister in our eyes, but that just sounds rude :P

  18. Danielle 18 July 2007 at 6:35 pm Permalink

    Too funny – I hope I am not a blister in your eye!

    I love that you always write the edited version of what you want to say… followed by the uncensored version. :)

  19. Mike 18 July 2007 at 6:39 pm Permalink

    Haha…I guess I do have a habit of doing that often :lol:

  20. Christy 18 July 2007 at 6:50 pm Permalink

    Hey yeah Danielle, he does do that. Ok let me try it out:

    Mike I’m so happy you made it to the top 10K!

    I was going to say it should have been me, but that’s not very nice, so I didn’t.

    LoL – I’m totally just kidding Mike, (it’s cute that you do that). We should all start our own community comedy blog, imagine the fun we’d have then!

  21. Mark 18 July 2007 at 6:54 pm Permalink

    Hey Christy, I’m all for that!

    I meant to say that I think having a comedy blog would be very appealing to me, but I didn’t because it would have been a lot more to type out. :D

  22. Mike 18 July 2007 at 7:29 pm Permalink

    I can host unlimited domains if anyone has a domain kicking around that they’d like to put a comedy blog onto :P

  23. Jodi 18 July 2007 at 8:54 pm Permalink

    Ohhh…thought maybe you slept at a Holiday Inn or something…LOL
    WTG! I’d hold off on the tat though(for now)

    Peace

  24. Mike 18 July 2007 at 9:04 pm Permalink

    Haha, thanks Jodi :) I’d never actually get a tattoo. I’m too much of a wus :|

  25. Christy 18 July 2007 at 9:23 pm Permalink

    LoL Mark, and that thing you did with the drum….I couldn’t stop laughing!!

    All I have is my stupid everydaymoneytips domain…not a great title for a comedy blog….and of course I bought christy’s coffee break.com and never used it.

  26. Danielle 18 July 2007 at 11:54 pm Permalink

    I have about 10 domains but I don’t know if I have anything for a comedy blog – the only one that might work is uma productions.com.

    I have come up with some ideas for what UMA could stand for:

    Ulterior Motives Associations
    Utterly Motive Arrogance
    Under Matriculated ***holes
    Unlawful Macaroni Anonymous

    Those are just some suggestions. :P

    @Christy – I know! Mark is just great on that drum!

  27. Danielle 18 July 2007 at 11:55 pm Permalink

    Oh for the 2nd one I mean to write Utterly Motivated Arrogance… oopsy daisy!

  28. Mike 19 July 2007 at 12:20 am Permalink

    Oooh! I’ll play along :D

    Under Medicated Airheads
    Underwear Munching Asshats
    Uber Mucho Amusement
    Unbelievably Moronic Antics

    Ummm…I can’t think of anything else right now :P

  29. Bucky 19 July 2007 at 4:53 am Permalink

    Ugly Man Ass

    Untimely and Misfortunate Anarchists

  30. Christy 19 July 2007 at 9:30 am Permalink

    I think we should blend them together,

    Underwear Munching Anarchists….it would be a hit!!

  31. Jos 19 July 2007 at 11:38 am Permalink

    The domain name also says ‘Productions’. Wonder what that leads up to..

    Anyway, what about: “Unmistakingly Mad Anecdotes”

  32. Jos 19 July 2007 at 11:40 am Permalink

    It should be an Inc., though

  33. Mike 19 July 2007 at 11:57 am Permalink

    Hahaha….Ugly Man Ass Productions. I think people might visit expecting something else :P

    Unmistakingly Mad Anecdotes <– I like that…hmmm :)

  34. Jos 19 July 2007 at 12:06 pm Permalink

    Unmistakingly Mad Anecdotes Productions, Inc.
    Episode I: The Ugly Man Ass and The Fly on his Nuggets
    LoL

  35. Christy 19 July 2007 at 12:16 pm Permalink

    Mike, I’m at 10,900, when I finally reach 10K I’m buying a cake, and not just a little cake, a big chocolate cake! I’m going to make a technorati party for my kids….will my husband come??…hmmm…maybe for the cake, lol.

  36. Mike 19 July 2007 at 12:18 pm Permalink

    @Jos: I’m not sure if I want to see the Ugly Man’s nuggets :-o

    @Christy: Maybe if you decorate the cake with little cars :D

  37. Jos 19 July 2007 at 12:24 pm Permalink

    ERM, did I mention I just entered the Top333k?

  38. Bucky 19 July 2007 at 12:34 pm Permalink

    Unmistakingly Mad Anecdotes Productions, Inc.
    Episode I: The Ugly Man Ass and The Fly on his Nuggets

    OMG! That is hilarious!

  39. Danielle 19 July 2007 at 12:47 pm Permalink

    Oh No! Look what I started! Those are all great! We should really do that – a community comedy blog! But if we go with Ugly Man Ass Productions – what exactly will the header look like? I can only imagine!!!

  40. Bucky 19 July 2007 at 12:51 pm Permalink

    @Danielle – It would be a man standing beside a donkey or course. What were you thinking?!

  41. Bucky 19 July 2007 at 12:58 pm Permalink

    Should have typed “of course”. … :(

  42. Jos 19 July 2007 at 1:21 pm Permalink

    Thanks, Bucky. I guessed those two lines would kinda sum it all up. :)

  43. Christy 19 July 2007 at 2:14 pm Permalink

    I am hereby designating myself as the one who will find the guy with the ugly ass for the comedy blog header. No need to ask why….it’s personal.

    Mike~I think it would work better if I decorated myself in little cars and fed him the cake. I’m experienced in this “getting your husbands attention” sort of thing.

    LoL.

  44. Bush Mackel 19 July 2007 at 2:41 pm Permalink

    ::about to say something::

  45. Jos 19 July 2007 at 2:46 pm Permalink

    @ Bush Mackel: me too. But no.

  46. Christy 19 July 2007 at 2:48 pm Permalink

    Don’t worry Bush it’s just all the medicine I’m on, I’m sure I’ll be back to my less freaky self soon.

  47. Jos 19 July 2007 at 3:51 pm Permalink

    Give the amount of medicine she’s taken, and her being confused between ‘stuff’ and ‘junk’ enough already, I vote that – until she’s back to her less(?) freaky self – we un-dessignate Christy as the one looking for the Man with the Ugly Tattoo. Anyone?

  48. Bush Mackel 19 July 2007 at 4:06 pm Permalink

    @Jos – ha ha ha

  49. Bush Mackel 19 July 2007 at 4:08 pm Permalink

    @Christy – Don’t get off the juice on my account!

  50. Christy 19 July 2007 at 4:08 pm Permalink

    Not fair!
