AECBlog gets a million
Oct 12th, 2008 by Peter
A million what? Well I wanted to say hits, but then I know Joseph will take me to task so I must say page views - though it just doesn’t sound as pithy.
We were on a half-million just back in April, so we put on another half-million in 6 months!
A self-important pat on the back all-round I think.
PS For those pedants out there, I’ll come clean - I wrote this when we were on 999648 page views precisely. You may send letters of protest at this dastardly misrepresentation of facts to…um…..David…yes David, he wants to hear all about it.

Perhaps you should just hit them.
Bless me father, for I have sinned…

Yay, team!!

I just changed my email address.
999649 now . . .
We’re there.
Shouldn’t there be a prize for the 1,000,000th visitor? I know some blogs have offered prizes for milestone visitors. Bible? Chicken dinner?
Mitre?
congrats
ps, please forward david’s mailing address so I can register my concerns.
:^)
He knew better than to tell people to email me….
Heh - we wanted to get to 2 million sometime and we can’t have you scaring them all off Kate.
A prize is an intriguing idea, how about a year of emailing David with trivial yet annoying complaints? I think we could offer that.
I’m going back to France
You are never out of reach of email, David. Bwahahahahahahaha!
Peter, I think a better prize would be David has to babysit for an evening. I think he could handle my 4…
Actually, as a bonus prize, he could babysit my 4 too
Hey, he could have my four too- my eldest is 13, he’d be a help!
I’d like to offer my four as well: 5, 8, 11 and 30. But he shouldn’t relax expecting much help from the eldest. Did I mention two big dogs?
I have a big dog and a yappy long haired forever shedding little orange dog….Not to mention two goldfish and a leopard gecko that has to be fed ugly bugs….

Kate,
Did I mention the 55gal fish tank, my shut-in mother and the German Shepherd that thinks he’s Houdini?
Peace (to us all!)
Jim
I don’t have to worry about escapee dogs. My big dog is so neurotic (with good cause, I suspect her former owner beat her) that she sticks to me like glue. If I take a step backwards I’m likely to squish a paw.

We bought the GS for my mom when she was still in her own home as a trained guard. He never had affection until we moved him in with us. Now he thinks I’m his soul mate. When I’m out of the house, he drives my mom nuts howling. He’s tried to get out through the front windows and broken through the inside glass twice. Now I’ve put in 3/16 plate glass in all the lower windows. (So far, so good.) He can open our back door that opens inwards and has a commercial door closer on it. The closer is so strong that my youngest puts her foot on the wall and both hands on the knob to get out. We’ve had to dead bolt it and keep it locked.
When things get dull (?) our Wiemariner will nip one of the girls or steal something. No wonder I need the serenity of a fish tank.
David’s gone very quiet, I note.
Indeed….
OK, OK. I have 4 children, 6 grandchildren, a large dog and a cat that bites. And a fish. So there.
A few additions to the zoo wouldn’t make much difference. I do have a self-contained soundproof study, of course.

David,
Did we mention that we are in the process of co-ordinating a joint visit? Your soundproof study will need to be made by Chubb.
Peace,
Jim
…and the youngest 2 have just enrolled in the local chapter of the united Accordion and Beginners’ Bagpipe band.
[23] Joseph,
No competition: I play the guitar, electric guitar and drums; sometimes simultaneously. Yes, my poor wife.
[22] Jim,
Did I mention the gun?
[24] David,
…and the meek shall inherit the earth.
This is just getting Too Silly For Words. Keep up the good work, gentlemen!
There’s only one thing left to say:
