Huckleberries Online

Inside Huckleberries (3/21/05)

5:43 p.m. We have a 2-year-old posting anonymous raunchy stuff on the blog. Easy to eliminate. But you might catch run across some of this genius's stuff before I delete it. Be warned.

5:15 p.m. "Beautiful Blonde pole dancer: Hope you don't mind a bit of risque', which I rarely send along! If you should find it too offensive,
please advise and I will remove your name
promptly from my email address list!" writes Cis Gors, who provides this end-of-day link and laugh here.

5:13 p.m. Something must be in the water. I've had to use my kill button a half dozen times today, mostly with the raunchy blogroach. But one of the regulars stepped over the line, too, re: a genitalia reference. (You know who you are.) It's easy to delete. So no problemo.

2:19 p.m. "Jim Risch came to Wallace yesterday to meet with the local Repubs. He appears to be a congenial enough fellow, but absolutely clueless as to mining or Superfund. Half-way through his speech, I realised we were listening to Kempthorne-Lite" -- Silver Valley mole.

2:02 p.m. "Gotta be quick before the wife catches me sneaking into this internet cafe in Dublin ... great parade in Killarney on Thursday including a bagpipe band from the Dublin JFK unit of American Legion playing Marine Corps Hymn ... very friendly here toward Americans (except for the lady I had a slight collision with forgetting to drive on the wrong side...ah oh, think I've been discovered ... signing off for now" -- vacationing Dan of the County from Ireland.

Noon: Gotta blogroach causing trouble today, posting under raunchy pseudonyms. It's easy to just kill his stuff. But he actually has something to say when he isn't being juvenile. We'll see. The new comments feature can continue as long as people behave themselves. I suspect eventually I'll have to require registration to post.

11:30 p.m. Great blog numbers for last week: 20,082 for 7 days; for weekdays, the numbers went 3226 Monday, 3178 Tuesday, 2841 Wednesday, 3046 Thursday and 4171 Friday.
