It’s that time again. The time in which I give all the best posts of the year the Statler and Waldorf treatment. Unless they were mine, of course. We had some interesting things happen this year. Vange, who was the co-founder of this site along with Acadia, has sadly moved on to other things. We also got hit with some nasty malware or something, and it about killed the site. That’s what Acadia gets for hiring Paul Blart as security for the site. Then Acadia scored a sweet deal with an ad company that would have brought in some cash. So, it’s only natural that we would end up getting dropped by the ad company due to a snag in the mine.
Not all the stories from this year are bad. Speaking of the mine, it’s been redesigned. Give it a look and let us know what you think. Additionally, I’m pretty sure this was the most successful year the Gallery has ever had. StumbleUpon became our best friend and sent a ton of hits our way. Thank you to all who stumbled us. Keep it up and there may be some loot in it for you in the future. Or an erotic fiction story from Acadia.
We have two new awesome writers. Cramsey and Wood Rabbit. Since they just joined us in December, they didn’t make either of the top 10 lists, but you can be sure you’ll be seeing them on 2012′s list. If they decide to stick around, that is.
I guess it’s time to get down to business. If you don’t remember how I did it last year, I made two lists, one for multiple picture posts and one for single posts. The reason for doing it like this is that on multiple picture posts, it counts each picture view as a hit. That makes it a little hard to compare it to stuff with all it’s content on one page. OK, hit the jump and we’ll get started with the lists!
I thought the weird semi-week between Xmas and New Years would be a good time to let you know a few things. So…here we go.
New Design
The Celeb Pic Section has been completely revised. Go check it out. And feel free to post criticism in here. I am already probably going to swap the beige for gray, so don’t suggest that because it would just be copying.
And the main page here will be updated to match the final version of the pic area so wowsers!
New Writers
We have WoodRabbit (add her on G+) and Cramsey (I’m screwing her out of a link!) and maybe one other guy. And since there are new shows coming on soon I’m shooting for some recaps.
Someone Won the Router!
Congratulations to RCV who won the router. Unless they don’t email me back and then I will have to pick someone else.
Video Winners!
The winners of the Make a Video contest are:
- Robert Bodden (he wins the camera!) You need to email me your deets so I can tell the people to send it to you.
- Julie Bee! Your video made me lol and you get a subscription to Wevideo!
- Christy Ramsey! Yours made me lol as well and you also get a subscription!
Comment Voting
We have a new thing that lets you vote up or down on people’s comments. That means that we can probably bring back Comment of the Week. So be funny and there might be something in it for you!
Ok, I need your help. I’ve been staring at today’s picture for a while now. I’m not sure it’s possible to tell what is going on or what series of events led to it. That’s where you come in. Tell me in the comments what you think is going on. If I select your comment as the winner, you’ll win $10. Enter as many times as you’d like. Oh, and you’ll need to have a PayPal account in order to collect your $10. A winner will be chosen in the evening on Monday the 10th. Good luck and make ‘em good!
WE HAVE A WINNER! Congratulations BrandG!
OK, I don’t have any bikini’s or anything for this post (you would think I would!) but I do have some news or updates or something. It’s like an official report so pay attention!
Dame Meow wins the Rizzoli and Isles 1st Season DVD Contest! She’ll get the prize delivered from TNT so it will actually get there in a timely manner. And I realized that I could actually make a movie of when the winner was picked. It was sort of like when they show the lottery numbers being drawn on TV but not.

I have a special pic for you today. Normally what I do here is to post a funny picture and put a witty caption on it. This time, I’m going post a picture, but I want YOU to caption it. Don’t worry, it’s not for nothing. If I pick your caption as the winner, you’ll receive two free tickets to see Final Destination 5! These tickets are good nationwide through Sept. 12th at all theater chains except AMC Theaters. I’ll pick a winner at 11:30pm tomorrow. You can enter as many times as you like. Make sure you use your real email address or I won’t be able to contact you for your mailing address. Alright, hit the jump and get to captioning! Good luck!
I was sitting in my big overstuffed chair in my study, smoking a pipe and reading a giant newspaper and it occurred to me that my amazing literary achievement, Whalewolf, was not available on any kind of electromagnetomaton for voices. Harumph! I exclaimed. I must certainly find my way to the local recording shop and try make my tome available to the blind and the handless. Can’t turn a page? Well, no worries, m8! You can simply press play with your nose.
As I sauntered past the apothecary (my opium supplies being quite high at the moment I had no need to stop) I had a bit of a skip in my step. How grand it will be to allow the general populous to hear my dulcet tones carrying along the wires of the world. I noticed the newsstand was not carrying the latest edition of my favored periodicals. Blast! But my disappointment would have to wait. I was going to record.
Some time later, I exited the shop with the electrofile you see below. Unfortunately, there was only enough wax cylinder to complete the beginning of my epic drama. That means that you will have to use your “computer mouse” to purchase the remainder and read it yourself. The man in the shop assured me that despite its incompleteness it was completely appropriate for me to call it am “Audio Book”. It’s not false advertising. It’s “bait and switch”.
