Year End Lists

December 23rd, 2007 No Comments

At the end of every year, the hordes of people who know things better than you do come out with their top ten lists. Here at The Hole, the best thing that we can come up with is a list of the most popular posts since I installed the Popularity Contest plugin in October. This rates each post on various criteria, but basically it shows which posts have been seen more than others.

  1. Blog Action Day
  2. Here comes $100 oil, and $3 gasoline?
  3. Google Adds IMAP Support To GMail
  4. Brave New World
  5. The Pied Piper of Oakland
  6. Skylark Apartments
  7. Global Warming is a Crock
  8. Pimpin for Birthday Boy’s School
  9. Halloween
  10. The BlogRush Cut

Next year, we should be able to have a better list, as we have just installed the PostRatings plugin. Go ahead and give those posts a rating. It’s like instant, anonymous feedback, and next year, we’ll have a top ten list of the best rated posts.

Halloween

November 1st, 2007 No Comments

So last night was Halloween, the evening where children either become members of the Mafia or liberals. They’re out offering protection against home damage by payment in candy. The “Trick” part of “Trick or Treat.” Give me some candy or I’ll egg your car. Give me some candy or I’ll soap your windows. Give me some candy or I’ll shave your cat.

On the other hand, it turns kids into little communists: “Spread the wealth candy, man!” Obviously, since adults make more money than most children, it’s a redistribution of candy. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need,” and kids need candy. You know that in a few years there will be kids standing on the corner or in the median with signs, “Hungry. Need Candy” or they’ll run out into traffic and wash your windows while you’re waiting at a stop light. “Got any candy?”

In the meantime, evil people and people who think this is serious should BLOW IT OUT YOUR PIE HOLE!
