Tap Tap Tap…
Hey, you! Yes you, the hundred or so extra people who swung by yesterday to check out what I had to say.
Hi! Welcome! Can I get you a drink?
Now, I know every once in a while I write something remarkable, and get some extra visitors, and some of you even stick around for a little while. I like that 
But yesterday - sheesh! Not only did my traffic go up about 25%, but my page views and bandwidth more than DOUBLED!
So obviously you were hanging out, sifting through the archives. Did you like what you saw? You’ve been here for a while… getting hungry? I’ll fix some sandwiches.
Now while I could snoop through my access logs and find out where all y’all are coming from, that’s a pain in the ass, and I just don’t have the time or desire. But I would really like to, shall we say, Maximize the interaction I have with my readers - which is your cue to click on the little comment box and say “hi.”
You don’t need to include your real name, or real email address - just make something up and stick it in the boxes. Then leave a little note and tell me how much you love me. Or how much you hate me. Or how you take your coffee - I really don’t care. Just say something.
In the meantime, I’ll be here… waiting… wondering…

Hi! It’s just me! But I’m *always* here! *lol*

Blame Darrin - his post about your post about the bad pants drew me in. Tell any women “he wore bad pants” and she will groan in recognition and knowledge of exactly what you are talking about. But - I like your style. Cheers!

Black strong.
That’s how I take my coffee - not a personal description…
Well, you did ask!

Who woulda thunk that ‘BAD PANTS’ would draw such a crowd. My drama-filled life seems to be drawing about 30% extra traffic as well.
Personally, I’d rather read about pants.

Chris: are you more of a Kona guy? Or do you go for the Columbian?
NetChick: The traffic isn’t surprising, but the huge bandwidth jump has never happened before. And here’s wishing you’ve got nothing more traumatic to write about than bad pants soon!

I’m often here too…but I love double entendres like “down with bad pants”.

I’d like to think that my having recently put the link to your webpage on my blog(hope you don’t mind) has been the cause of your extra readership..but I highly doubt it..haha. I like to read your blog because A. its funny and B. you’re a fellow Canuck…we have to stick together you know!

Hello, chris here from Kihei Hawaii (normally Vancouver). Typing this on a laptop, I can see a volcano if I turn my head left and the ocean if I turn my head right
Look forward to seeing you at our party!

j: you’d be missed if you weren’t stopping by! I was thinking of extending it to say “Down with Bad Pants (or good pants on bad boys)” but I thought it might be too much - now I know it may be appreciated after all!
April: thanks for the linky love! Up with Canadian bloggers!
Chris: jealous of you and your tropical vacation. see you when you get back! bring me something pretty!
