Yes, I know! It’s unbelievable! In fact, it’s so unbelievable that my brain cannot comprehend that it happened, and instantly replaces the number with the phrase ABBA’s many whenever I gaze at the post’s title.
200,000! Do numbers even go that high??
This is all thanks to you, the faithful readers of ‘Shouting etc etc’! Also, some thanks can be sent to those who are merely curious, and found the site due to rummaging through the search engine of their choice. Come for the Albert Speer-esque architecture, the mensur fencing, and of course, the Dolls; stay for the repartee!

Congratulations DC (and the ever culpable Sidore-chan)!
Allow me to be the first to pop the ol’ cork (and I mean that in the nicest way)! I remember when you were a young Blog-lad of what, 10,000 hits, some kind of time ago… *grows misty eyed, or is it cataracts*
Here’s to another 200,000. Wow, that’s a big number, innit? 😀
Cheers,
PBShelley, and Lily and Eden who both send happy hugs this time. Pennie says “Meow” and Soony… well Soony doesn’t say much; she’s pretty much a doll’s doll 😀

Public Broadcasting System and affiliated local networks –
Why, ta very mooch, as the Missus would say! Frankly, I have no idea what I’m going to do with all these hits. Perhaps I will place them in a box, in the attic.
O wait, we live in an apartment unit! *slaps hands to face, Macaulay Culkin-style* O DANG
Here’s to another six-digit number! I expect to congratulate you on a similarly outlandish number of posts, soon. 🙂

Re: the hits: Simple; you inhale them!
-OK, a pretty piss-poor attempt at sixties humor LOL
This is probably why it would be unwise to hold one’s breath on my tallying a like number… you give your readers something to read ABOUT. I just give them something to read. If they can be bothered. I have to get used to the idea that posts ought to be digestible :-/
Still learning anyway; hoping to improve to your stellar quality sooner rather than later 😉
Regards,
PBS & the etcs (most likely on cable) (er, make that pay-per-view)

PBS and &c. –
‘You give your readers something to read ABOUT. I just give them something to read.’
Holy craps, I never thought of it that way, but you’re absolutely right. You’re more of a writer-commenter, where I’m more of a reporter-commenter. A valid observation!
SafeT –
Heh, you’re absolutely right!
YOU HEAR THAT, ELDERLY VERSION OF WORDPRESS? HE’S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

200,000 hits, multipied by 28 blog links, and 14 doll links, the effect that Shouting to hear the echoes has had upon the world wide web has been truely astronomical!
Some day your efforts will be the stuff of legend, remembered in story and song!
Well, if nothing else, there should be a statue of you and Shi-chan at the heart of the Silicon Valley.
Congratulations from me, hugs and kisses from Phoebe, and Pennie’s just smiling and shaking her boobs back and forth. 🙂

I picture ‘Shouting etc etc’ as like when you take an eyedropper and release a couple of drops of liquid into a beaker filled with water. Over time, the water takes on the colour of those drops of liquid. ‘Shouting to hear the echoes’ is that liquid.
I’m sorry, I’ve no idea what brought that on. Probably too many Shamrock shakes…
Danke schön for the congrats! 🙂
