Wasting my 15 minutes

I occasionally check the hit counter I installed as a freebie a year or so ago. I tend to get 15-20 hits a day, mostly very brief. More on days when I post something, but nothing like the circulation of other folks I know. I got mentioned recently at Right Reason recently as an HT in a literary meme (wish it were original to me -- thanks Marlowe!) and got several comments.



So, I happened to check Statcounter today and lo and behold, there were 841 hits! Most brief, but some folks poked around for a while.






The source of all those hits? Well, 99 of 100 of them (all that Statcounter analyzes for free) came from people doing exactly what Izzy and I were doing last night. Looking for Shrute bucks. Izzy has found the dialogue I was looking for and I'll be updating the earlier entry.



3 thoughts:
1. I wish I'd written something more profound.
2. I agree with Izzy that it's a shame to waste my 15 minutes of fame this way, but c'est la vie.
3. Lots of people out there wants themselves some Schrute bucks (or Stanley nickles--either will do.)

  1. C and I waited until Friday night to watch it together...so I could not fully appreciate the beauty of your original post. Now I get it. :-)

    Fun-ny.

  2. The thing about the blogosphere is that you can have recurring bits of 15 minutes of fame (or n00+hits of fame), an unlimited number of times. :)
