200,000.
In the wee hours of this morning, I noticed that at approximately 10:32 p.m., Eastern Time, the 200,000th visitor came through the door. So, to the person from Hannah, Indiana who came here via Gut Rumbles, thank you. Drop me an e-mail with your address, and I’ll be happy to send you an autographed picture of President Bush, provided you don’t mind if I sign his name.
It appears that others had already noticed that I hit the 200,000 mark, because the congratulatory e-mail began pouring in as early as last night. Here is a sample:
Dear Jimbo,
I actually read your blog one time, and it is the greatest thing since stale bread.
Sincerely,
Glenn Reynolds
Dear Jerkface who writes PRS,

Very truly yours,

NOTE:Â The bizarre spacing in the e-mails is purely a function of WordPress being on crack.
Congratulations, James, you are an inspiration to all of us. Two thousand hundreds. I can only dream.

Are you the guy who wrote about the pre-induction draft
physical in the late 60’s in which some guy showed up in
a dress — for real? How can I get more detail/info
about this episode? Thank you. Malcolm MacPherson

Not only do you get 200,000 people to your site, you get email too! I know it’s cause you are so charming and have such farookin’ great hair (even if I haven’t seen it in person yet).
BTW – it really irks me that Mrs. Kerry has stolen my name. Thank heaven she doesn’t know how to pronounce it.
Comment by Teresa — May 4, 2006 @ 4:47 pm

A very well-deserved milestone.
May the next 200K take half as long!

Dear Jim,
You rock.

As I was standing at the urinal one evening, I couldn’t help but notice that the gentleman next to me had the greatest farookin’ head of hair I had ever seen. But to ask him about it would have been a violation of the Sacred Covenant.
Somebody told me he writes an Online Web-Journal…
