theweaselkingRunning a little late this year, although I'm backdating the entry to make it LOOK like I did it on time, in retrospect.
Like always, I'm doing "the post of each month with the most comments", not the first or last or some such.
January:
The Winner: I am bored, therefore there will be Audience Participation.
The reason it got so many comments: "Evangelise your favourite obscure movie". Also " Satanists in smalltown Ontario is always going to be comedy gold."
February:
The Winner: I don't.... what is.... what.
The reason it got so many comments: Ham And Bananas Hollandaise.
March:
The Winner: Automounting an encrypted disk, without prompting for a password.
The reason it got so many comments: Nerd question, wherein I propose doing something that's kinda dumb from many valid perspectives.
April:
The Winner: "Pop Quiz, everyone!
The reason it got so many comments: A scientific method to determine The Best Music Video Ever.
May:
The Winner: On Marvel vs DC
The reason it got so many comments: "It's wrong to tie Christopher Nolan down and tattoo 'a watchman IS a civilian' on his eyelids, right?"
June:
The Winner: "What would 'going too far' look like?"
The reason it got so many comments: Some dude defending Paula Deen by arguing that white people are the real victims of racism, because when they do and say racist things they get frowned at.
July:
The Winner: "Hey, did you see this?
The reason it got so many comments: It kinda didn't, but July was a really slow month and this one won. It's a quick heads up to Cherie Priest that she's being slandered by an infamous idiot on the blog of an infamous asshole, and I thought that if she'd missed it she might want to know.
August:
The Winner: On common practices.
The reason it got so many comments: Discussion of checking the label versus the prescription to make sure they match.
September:
The Winner: Count the number of things wrong with this picture.
The reason it got so many comments: Its easily the worst infographic I've seen in months.
October:
The Winner: Nerdy Slice Of Life
The reason it got so many comments: Again, a very slow month. But "all of Stephen King's work fits in Deadlands."
November:
The Winner: A thing that I am doing, and you should too
The reason it got so many comments: Orson Scott Card is a terrible person who actively works to hurt people who've done nothing wrong.
December:
The Winner: Is it just me or is Livejournal broken?
The reason it got so many comments: Livejournal was broken, which is apparently the only thing people use Livejournal to talk about these days.
