Hit Trolling Accusations

So Instapundit thinks we're trolling for hits with our Star Trek top ten list. Frankly, I'm outraged. I would never, ever, stoop to writing controversial posts to troll for hits. Even if that post generated...let's see...checking the counter... TWENTY THOUSAND HITS! Holy crap!

Well...since this post is so short, I thought I'd use the remaining space to post the titles of some upcoming blogs you can look forward to:

Top 10 Upcoming Blog Entries

10. Why I think Fox Mulder is gay.
9. Best science fiction movie ever: Laserblast.
8. Linux: Operating System For Little Girly Boys.
7. I love the RIAA.
6. The best captain on Star Trek ever: Commodore Decker.
5. It's a good thing the two young lesbians on Buffy the Vampire Slayer were killed off.
4. The vampire Lestat is a big weenie. The only thing that saved the character was Tom Cruise's acting.
3. Saddam Hussein: Misunderstood Genius.
2. The second trilogy of the Star Wars films is WAY better than the first.
1. Who should play the next Indiana Jones? Carrot Top.

LOL. You'll see some really strange search strings now...

Haha. If you wanted to plan another 10 blog entries, how about the underrated musical genius of Air Supply?

Oh uh...the very thought of the band is sending me into sugar shock.

Hey!!! I like Air Supply...got them on my turntable right now....heh

How about: 11. That cutey patootey, John Ashcroft, and 12. Pete Rose: he's in MY Hall of Fame.

Good Lord, Man, you know not what unholy powers you invoke. I've seen Pete Rose flame wars last for more than six months, and even when they subside, the seething anger lies under the surface like magma, waiting, waiting...

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that Derek Jeter is the worst defensive starting shortstop in baseball. Thank you.

They killed Willow? After she went evil?

How about a quote from my room mate:
"Anyone who believes in a higher power is just weak minded. Religious people are just too weak to deal with life." (Now THAT deserves a flame war)

If you'd really been trolling for hits, I'm sure Naked Orion Slave Girls would have been prominent somewhere on the list!

Posted by: Ith on May 13, 2003 01:31 PM

Ith: I think the "Naked Orion Slave Girl" was covered in the "Holodeck" post.

0. Those Planes Hit The WTC on 9/11 By Accident, They Were Aiming For Trump Tower.

-1. Why MS Word is the Best Editor for C++ Code and HTML: The Magic of the Talking Paperclip.

-2. The Government Knows What's Best For Us, You Big Fat Traitors!

-3. They Should Make A Movie of Neuromancer, Starring Adam Sandler

-4. All Rap Songs Sound Exactly The Same

haha. Actually, if it was Willow's g/f (was her name Tara? my memory fails me yet again...) who was killed off, thank god. The girl was so ugly she could send Carrot Top running...

Posted by: Angel Girl on May 13, 2003 07:54 PM

Hey now, let's not be talking bad about Amber Benson. She may not be a plastic princess like some actresses but I wouldn't be kicking her out of my bed anytime soon...especially if she was bringing Alyson Hannigan with her.

BTW you got to admit the girl has serious pipes considering she was never trained as a singer.

Nice to see more post activity here!

Reminds of the most-controversial posts contest at Slate's Forum. I seem to remember "Jesus had it coming" and "These are my 10 favorite races, in order"

Posted by: Bill on May 15, 2003 10:31 AM

haha.. well, good point. if Alyson Hannigan's coming with her, who in their right mind would argue with that. :oP

Posted by: Angel Girl on May 16, 2003 01:33 PM

I stand by my previous assertion. :-P

But enjoy whatever tunes are playing on your turntable!

Posted by: Anne on May 16, 2003 11:13 PM

Willow gets killed in the last season?

Rick Santorum for president.

More blood for oil.

Legalize pot. Criminalize nicotine.
