7 Million.



[+]

While elsewhere Frod and Hiram try to ruin the fucking page by once again debating humanities and sciences (Kumbaya singing and hugs vs. egotistical spittle-laden lectures with healthy contempt), we crossed the 7 million hit barrier with a click from someone whose IP I don't recognize from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, eh?

Thanks to the folks who are left. I'm sure the page will close for good later this week, and it couldn't come a fucking minute sooner.

I Skyped with Fab this afternoon to let him know we were breaching those zeroes and he said, "Huzzah!"

  1. Better start planning our funeral. Thanks, everyone I love on here, for keeping this going! To the RGM, you are my hero!

    1. I said we'd close later this week. Well, it's Friday already, so scratch that. Let's turn the lights out on Wednesday. That will give everyone a chance to clean out their lockers. We'll never get the deposit back from Weber State, so let's not bother cleaning up.

    2. Wednesday sounds reasonable.

      If anyone's on the East Wing, could you let the alpaca out of the sauna? I forgot to prop the door open for him.

    3. Damn it CC! You never have to clean the alpaca hair out of the filters when he's in their too long. Whose job do you think that is? *goes to get a lint roller*

  3. And now every academic who lives in Hamilton, OR awaits their termination from their colleges for reading this page ;)

    1. I say this in good humor as someone who is pretty sure she was the person who hit one of the earlier mile stone numbers and had a similar very board description posted and than removed at someone elses behest.

  4. Hey, thanks, RGM! It's been lots of fun. I'm all the more tickled since it looks like I won't have to write that post about "What I have learned from publishing a general-ed textbook," after all.

    1. P.S. They goddamn well deserve the contempt, especially the ones who can't even read "Wisconsin."

  5. You can't end it now! My CV listed each of my posts as a peer-reviewed article and every comment as an invited presentation. If I can think of a few more damned top ten lists, I get promoted.

  6. 7,000,000 hits? If Amazon pays a million dollars for each one of those hits, then we're halfway to paying off the national debt.

  7. Apparently we're the cyber-equivalent of a multi-car pileup. People just can't look away, even if there are plenty of other lanes available.

    1. Nor can we look away even if we've seen so many before. The cars that flow by unscathed all begin to look the same, but each wreck is captivating in its own way. No two are ever alike, like... like... what was that word?

    2. Froderick, you have indeed pegged one of the inspirations for my statement. I came damn close to plagiarizing, didn't I?
