Chris - you sister in law was not impressed.
She claims “just goes to show you how many psu nerds love the internet”.
Don’t worry all…I swiftly kicked her in the tw*t.
My pimp hand is still strong and she is back in line.

Y'all do realize
that for just over three years, RR averaged a comment every 32 minutes?
Alea iacta est...
There should be a separate category...
for open thread comments.
It’s not really the same thing.
...may we compete with fierce intensity, with the gifts that we have been given...
There should also be a seperate category
For thread jacks.
I highly enjoy them, and comment more to that than anything else, especially when they occur in threads that are rehashing old arguments about IT.

Especially within the last few days.
Side note, nothing is better than a solid whiskey discussion. I’ve learned a tremendous amount from my friends on BSD about whiskeys, and received some fantastic suggestions.

Some can get really interesting
My favorite so far was the Breakfast meat discussing, I inadvertantly started last week. That was some good times to be had.
Not a fan of whiskey, vodka guy, and there really isn’t much you can say about vodka. I guess you can argue which is the best, or what drinks are the best made with vodka.
Anytime now that I see a thread going a couple hundred comments, usually it is about IT and I really don’t go there, unless I see a thread jack and then will whole heartedly participate. And obvioulsy throw in a few bunnies when needed.

Vodka is great
because it’s a perfect canvas to make any flavored liquor you want.
That
And it is delicious.
But it really is the perfect type of liquor to mix alot of different things with. Especially if someone doesn’t like a strong liquor taste, a few vodka drinks will get the job done easily, and you might never taste the vodka (if made correctly)
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose - Janis Joplin
Even cheap, crappy vodka is useful
I only use the cheapest, dirtiest vodka I can when I make vodka sauce. The point is to add flavor, which the good stuff doesn’t have because it’s filtered so well.
I’m also a big bloody mary guy. The Absolut Peppar stuff is fantastic for them.
A good cheap Vodka is a good find
I am a Stoli guy myself. usualy order Vodka tonic when at a bar, since many don’t know how to properly make other drinks I like, especially the double 07 drink.
I have fallen in love with the Sweat Tea vodka, mix that with lemonade, and get a John Daly (Drunken Arnold Palmer) it is highly refreshing and very tasty,
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose - Janis Joplin
I just started drinking vodka instead of beer,
but I don’t like tonic, so what’s something else that is low or no calorie that I can get at a bar? At home I’ve been using Crystal Light!

Actually, (don't laugh) Diet Dr. Pepper with a twist of lime works well.
Also, since you are in the south you likely have a Sonic handy. Vodka blends wonderfully with that outstanding diet limeaide they now sell.

My favorite brand is Stoli
But also Absolute is not bad, for a cheaper variety.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose - Janis Joplin
Absolute is great if you want to have variety on hand
not too expensive, but still good.
I love Stoli. Right now I have plain, vanilla and cherry in my freezer. Stoli strawberry with champagne is one of my favorites things also. The smell of ice cold Stoli strawberry is fantastic without even tasting it.

Sweet Carolina Vodka
Great stuff, and several flavors, prefer the raspberry one, with lemonade…ie the John Daly (drunken Arnold Palmer). They also came out with a Lemonade Vodka through Sweet Carloina, not to bad at all, remniscent of Limoncello.

Bloody Marys are fantastic
The only time I switch from bloody marys are in the fall when there is fresh apple cider. A handle of Captain Morgan mixed with a gallon of apple cider and a little bit of cinnamon heated slightly is the perfect october tailgate starter. It is a dangerous concoction, but well worth it

My GF, with very discerning taste buds,
Has no problem really putting the stuff back.
Its best to only make a set amount, and then switch it up to beer later.

I use the cheap vodka for basic jello shots
but sometimes I go gourmet
Cherry jello with Stoli vanilla
Orange jello with Absolut Mandarin
yum

Yeah you going high end with jello-shots
I have made them with grain in college…didn’t tell anyone, yeah people got messed up on them.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose - Janis Joplin
that is not even nice
I have used tequila with lime jello, it was not too bad but I am not friends with tequila anymore so I did not enjoy it. Or the smell that wafted out of the fridge every time I opened it.
UNCIVIL!
Ugh
I hear you on that one letsgo. At my buddy’s bachelor party last May, we made something like 160 jello shots. Tequila with lime, Orange with Madarin, etc. Most of them were delicious except for the Tequila ones. Tequila and I don’t get along so, as you said, everytime I opened the cooler I wanted to hurl. Not very fun. Especially when my friends harassed me until I took one of the Tequila ones. Great friends.

Best thing to do with cheap, crappy vodka
is make your own pepper vodka .. cut up your peppers of choice, i use a mix of jalapeno, scotch bonnet and thai chilies and put em in the bottle for about a week.. drain/strain and voila pepper vodka that’ll blow away anything you can buy… works with lemon too (just use like the zest of 3-4 lemons)
There are a few things like this you can do
One is to get a full bunch of lemons and sugar, sut the lemons in half, add about 2 cups of sugar to a full bottle of vodak, and let it sit until the sugar completely dissolves…and you have some good drinking, very potent.
Can also take jolly ranchers and drop them in a bottle of vodka, wait util they all dissolve, and same effect.

Those drinks I made in college, when a real cheap bottle of vodka taasted like metal, so needed something to sweeten them up to the point I can stand getting drunk off them.

I used to think the same thing about Brady Quinn, too.
But then he went and did this – http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20536012,00.html. In short, he gave up his back-up QB role on the Broncos to fly out to Japan to be with Alicia when she had to get surgery on her achilles tendon. Even I have to admit – that’s pretty freaking romantic.
(It also opened the door for Tebow-mania, but lets be fair – that was inevitable.)

But Christ, if I had to read blogs with guys like Ramzy or Cook writing on them, I’d kill everything that ever lived. Lawdhamercy, those guys stand out as smug pricks, even against a background littered with some of the smugger pricks one could ever encounter. It’s pretty remarkable, actually.

Indeed, and that's what makes it even better
The “Cosmo is a jump up from Disney” argument might be one of my favorites of all time.

Is that what the link was?
I didn’t click on it. Mostly because I don’t care enough to. And “Cosmo” as in the magazine? Furreal??

Yeah, my curiosity got the better of me
And yes, it was a couple of pictures she must have done for Cosmo, the magazine. Maybe one of these days she’ll do a show/movie for one of those naughty cable channels like Comedy Central or FX.

Alright, time to explain the internet to me
Difference between visits and page views?
Also, are these 8.9 visits since BSD started way back whenever?
She asked me who I wanted to have a three some with. I said "Why not Zoidberg?"

Crudely.
Visits = Number of people
PV’s = Number of pages viewed by all those people
For BSD, the PV to Visits ratio generally seems to be a slight bit over 2:1 each month:

And yes, the totals in the post are since the very beginning.

A visit is you coming here. A pageview is the number of pages...you view.
Think of it like visiting a house. The visit is you getting there, the pageview is the number of rooms you see.
And I’m sure those numbers are from the beginning, though I’m not exactly sure when that officially was (actual BSD vs. SBN BSD).

Weirdly enough...
Sitemeter has lower numbers for the history of the site (though that could be due to Sitemeter being installed after SBN BSD was up and running many years ago…I don’t know):
VISITS
Total 8,721,196
Average Per Day 11,164
Average Visit Length 3:29
Last Hour 652
Today 10,945
This Week 78,149
PAGE VIEWS
Total 19,716,223
Average Per Day 24,556
Average Per Visit 2.2
Last Hour 1,499
Today 23,180
This Week 171,889

Gotta tell my peeps about last night's insane dream.
was on the golf course with RUTS, TS, and some other old friends.
The group in front of us was very slow and we were getting pissed…the group behind us kept hitting balls landing in our area so we would throw them in the water or back at them.
Here is the good part…we confront the group and I get in fight with Jim Cantafio…I am screaming “do you have any pride”…I woke up and every muscle in my body is tense…can’t fall back asleep.
Nothing to do with this thread but had to share.
May no act.................

Pretty sure the bunny count is low
I personally have posted 3497 in the last two weeks.

By SBN metrics, at least
I believe we’ve jumped to No. 2 in college blog viewing numbers. I forget who No. 1 is, but BON, EDSBS, RBR and Testudo Times used to be up there (and probably still are).

I would have guessed the first three,
but Testudo Times surprises me.

Testudo Times is a funny story.
I don’t know how much I can share, but their numbers have basically been artificially inflated without the knowledge of the people running it.
I’m pretty sure we had more PV’s than EDSBS during the last three months of 2011 and I can't possibly imagine why

I'm sure it was the start of basketball season
and the excitement generated by having a new hoops coach.

How does that even happen?
I’m no technocrat and if you can’t share that’s understandable, but I’m curious as hell how A. any site artifically enhances their pages views (bots of some sort?) B. It happens without management knowing and C. Why a 3rd party would want to arificially inflate someone elses numbers.

People are stupid
one of my company’s competitors combined their visits from two different sources and reported it as their total site visits.
We have other competitors that make a very large network of independent contractors (Realtors®) go through their public site to access their intranet.
UNCIVIL!

But do you think
we’ll get enough support from the coaches’ poll to get us in the MNC game, or will there be a rematch of the SEC blogs?
