Half A Mil, Half a Mil, Half a Mil Onward!

It's O-fficial: The Llama just cracked 500K!!

And the winner of a full day's supply of Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco Treat? Whoever came here on the MSN search for summary of the book kaffir boy.

Well, since it's a literary search, I suppose it's better than our usual "Juliet Huddy naked pix" visits.

Anyway, back in the day when Mom was our only regular visitor, I remember Steve-O talking about "when we hit 500K". Fortunately, I kept my mouth shut and resisted the strong temptation to say, "Hell, if we ever make it that far, I'll personally stand in the middle of Times Square naked and sing 'My Way'." It's hard to believe we've actually done it. And I'm glad I resisted temptation for once.

So then, on behalf of Steve-O and the LMC, let me just say thanks to all of you. And here's to our first step towards seven figures!

Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!

YIPS from Steve: Welsher. Everybody now, "Regrets, I've had a few...."

What gobsmacks (or is that gobsmax?) me more about all this is this: our traffic map from when the big odometer turned over:

So, with 500K visits under our belt, does that mean my elven wizard gets +3 on his power rolls against demons and orcs? Does it add aura points to my cloak of studliness? Jus' asking.

Anyhoo, the big blogging nooz around here is that The Dear One is in the market to start her own blog, which, needless to say, I'm 100% against. I mean, I've got a reputation to uphold, and a good 50% of her material would be for busting my chops, the rest being solid MommyBlog material. It's my fault, really, as I got her reading Curmudgeonry before Christmas, and the rest just followed naturally.

More Yips! From Robbo: I particularly invite you to hit the link to Phin's post below. To quote Jayne, "I'll be in my bunk."

UPDATE: Attention commentors! You want a singing Llama? You got it. Naked? Well, that's gonna cost you, pilgrims.....
