Secrets of the City

Ooh, Max bites back.

I told you I was hardcore.

i contributed to Lazy Lightning’s lack of traffic for the rollergirl link. I click his links only when I see headlines regarding Burnsville Chinese restaurants, Apple Valley sandwich shops or Eagan Pizza parlors.

I’m partial to headlines about unnecessary Super Targets.

I find it interesting that both posts measure Secrets of the City by the traffic it drives to “their” sites. Somehow I don’t think Matt or Tom care a whole lot about those metrics.

re: Lazy Lightning – I prefer the bitching about burnsville capital improvements.

Aren’t people over the whole “SOC sucks” yet?

BTW if you want instant traffic blog about something you saw on TV that night…on the spot. I put up a tiny two sentence post about http://www.notafathersday.com after I saw Barney mumble it on How I met your mother….169 hits.

Of course 99.5 percent of that traffic isn’t worth a sh*t, but hey a little hit off the pipe in analytics never hurt nobody?

It seem not, aliecat.

If you want to see a site with light traffic (at least measured in number of comments), look no further than Minneapolis Metblogs.

My last post only got one comment, and that was from a fellow author.

Note to self: Less lame post topics, Moffitt!

My own editorialization is that SotC is too monochrome and feels *weird*, not that I’ve had the time for impulsive time-wasting like I used to.

Also, folks — remember that there are just two shopping days before Thanksgiving. If you’re watching football, I recommend hitting the sauce hard, because those games are dogs. I’m packing up the Wii and we’ll see how we all hold up in a few races of Mario Kart.

Part of me is still getting used to the new layout. I’ll get over that, eventually.

Another part of me feels like we’ve all been assimilated back in with the regular kids. MNSpeak certainly had more of a “club” feel to it (and, no, I don’t mean a strip club). Imagine if the Peanuts gang (MNSpeak being Peanuts) had to merge with The Family Circle. Good grief!

OMG. I just noticed The Deets has changed its layout, too!

WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE TRYING TO DO TO ME!

Part of me is still grieving, noodleman.

Cream dolla-dolla bills yawl…everybody chasing that pay-pah.

Dincha hear you can make the money on teh tubes.

Next time @ Day in the Life: “I got a bad cheeseburger and Ronald McDonald is personally to blame!”

Imagine if the Peanuts gang (MNSpeak being Peanuts) had to merge with The Family Circus.

That would be tragic. In the Peanuts world, adults are always unseen, and sound like trompones when they speak. How would the gang react to to seeing Big People for the first time?

How would Barfy and Snoopy interact? Would there be an dogfight? Certainly Dolly and Lucy would get into a catfight.

@justbob: Linus would stop sucking on his blanket and start shooting smack just to escape the horror of a blended cartoon household.

@ octane: Thanks for the idea but I already did it about my missing hash brown patty a few weeks back.
