Approaching 3,000 comments
A while back I predicted we'd hit 3,000 comments this month.
Looks like we're right on track.
And you know what that means.
Whoever posts the 3,000th comment gets to have one of the many toys on my desk.
Or a small stack of CDs.
Or both.
That's one hoot-nanny of a deal.
We should hit the mark in the next day or two.
As the late Rick James would say, "It's a celebration!"

Did you hit 3000 yet?
Posted by: Greg S | April 23, 2008 3:01 PM
Shouldn't this practice instantly disqualify you from winning
Posted by: Evan | April 23, 2008 3:02 PM
To hell with it - I've got to get back to work. Congrats (in advance) on hitting 3000. That's certainly a milestone...
Posted by: Greg S | April 23, 2008 3:03 PM
...that a major league ballplayer would be proud to achieve. :) Seriously, I'm done now. Congrats Sam

Evan, I'm a man who likes to stir the pot. As such, starting a flurry of pointless comments is just as fun as a flurry of meaningful ones. So bring it on!
Posted by: Sam Sessa | April 23, 2008 3:06 PM
Just having a little fun. Besides, I believe the last MS comment milestone was reached in a similar manner...maybe not quite as obnoxious as what I just did, but still...
Posted by: Greg S | April 23, 2008 3:07 PM
Screw work - it's a celebration b****es!! (A l*ttle blog topic cr*ss-p*llination)

My name is Evan and I'm on the mic
I like to ride my yellow bike
Posted by: Evan | April 23, 2008 3:15 PM
Just curious, when you post a comment on your own blog does it count towards the total??
Posted by: Greg S | April 23, 2008 3:16 PM
My rhymes might suck but there's no doubt
they will increase this blog's comment count
Posted by: Evan | April 23, 2008 3:17 PM
Midnight Sun, it's sometimes droll
except for the occasional Chris Sligh troll
Posted by: Evan | April 23, 2008 3:18 PM
So raise the roof, give it a go
raise ya fist and shout it: FMEB-HO
peace i'm out
Posted by: Evan | April 23, 2008 3:21 PM
Greg, I try to work the math so my comments don't count toward the total.
Posted by: Sam Sessa | April 23, 2008 3:21 PM
Looks like Evan decided not to pout,
about me inflating Sam's count,
so let's get together for a Guiness Stout
Posted by: Greg S | April 23, 2008 3:22 PM

Posted by: Greg S | April 23, 2008 3:26 PM

Lake Trout is weak son,
chicken box for the long run
ranch dressing on tha side, you weigh a ton
flavor so hot, it don't matter none
Posted by: Evan | April 23, 2008 3:42 PM
This may be Sam's most successful post yet...bring on the free swag!
Do we know which Sun blog has the most comments overall? My guess: Military Watch.
Posted by: JTK | April 23, 2008 3:49 PM
Now don't you go and call me weak,
My peeps all know I'm a superfreak,
Lake Trout is a B-more fixture,
Ketchup & hot sauce the ideal mixture
Posted by: Greg S | April 23, 2008 4:06 PM
Man I did not plan on getting into a online lyrical throwdown today, but now I'm done. Going out to enjoy the weather. I kindly ask that everyone stop posting comments until tomorrow so I can win a Simpsons toy...by the way, what ever became of Homer?
Posted by: Greg S | April 23, 2008 4:18 PM
Homer! God I totally forgot about him. I gotta get back on that. Stay tuned.
Posted by: Sam Sessa | April 23, 2008 4:23 PM
a hoot-nanny? I prefer Box Socials, myself.
Posted by: bryanintimonium | April 23, 2008 4:39 PM
I'm gonna take more of a lottery approach on this. I feel with this post, I shall crack 3000. Although probably not.
Posted by: Allan | April 23, 2008 4:50 PM
or maybe this one. yeah, thats the ticket. a GOLDEN ticket. sweeeet.
Posted by: Allan | April 23, 2008 4:52 PM

Dearest Evan and Greg S,
Please don't quit your day jobs. There are already plenty of bad rappers in the world.
Besides, I want to win, darn it!!
Posted by: Courtney B. | April 23, 2008 6:48 PM
I don't care if I get the 3000th comment or not.
I can't believe this hasn't been posted yet...
in memory...
I'm Rick James b*******!!!!!!
Posted by: Jade Fox | April 24, 2008 1:48 AM
I want to win too. Come on Sam!
Posted by: Drew from Greektown | April 24, 2008 7:29 AM
I won't quit my day job, but I just might lose it after posting a dozen comments on MS while on the the clock
Posted by: Greg S | April 24, 2008 9:15 AM
Courtney the world needs bad rap.
My backpack's got jets
I'm Boba the Fett
...i'm gonna stop now

Sam,
Hootenanny?
How old are you?
I thought Hootenannys belonged in the deep dark past of the late fifties, early sixties.
You know, when Folk music* reigned, before The Beatles landed in NYC.
* i.e. when "Blowin' in the Wind" was a hit for Peter, Paul & Mary.
Posted by: GDA | April 24, 2008 12:41 PM
Evan,
How about some non-Chris promotional clips on the sly?
The Rolling Stones (1967): http://youtube.com/watch?v=uZ4oA-4dqWw
The Residents (1980?): http://youtube.com/watch?v=pYvAIqexGZE
Enjoy

hootenanny
Later consideration brought forth the notion our host does way too much clubbing for someone pushing sixty and the possibility that the word came back in fashion like "cool" did or with a different meaning like "boogie" did periodicly does.
