Roughly a year ago, I decided to inject some “life” into this lonely blog site by adding recaps from various pub trivia games that I’ve played in over the past few years. It was kind of a tedious process at first, scrolling back through my Facebook fan page Miskatonic University Fighting Cephalopods, a shameless plug if anyone wants to follow. Or if Twitter is more your thing? Follow me here here. Now that I’ve got THAT out of the way! Anyway, the whole process of moving the recaps from Facebook was basically copy/paste/tag, copy/paste/tag, copy/paste/tag. A certain person I know “kind of” encouraged me to do this by professing to be a fan of my writing, so let’s just say that this kind of lit a fire under my ass, so to speak! And so what are the results of all of this? Let’s look at some stats:

Total blog views: 4,283

Total posts: 577

Total visitors: 1,041

Best views ever: March 7, 2017

And a David Letterman-inspired Top Ten list for you – my 10 most viewed blogs, ranked from the most viewed at the top:

1. 157 views – The Hitchhiker’s guide to Michigan’s Microbrewery Universe (sheesh this blog is SO out of date…I really should update this blog from 2012).
2. 104 views – Trivia Recap – April 20, 2017 – The Wurst Bar (this still puzzles me to this day…I have no idea what is so special about this recap, other than we had a guest player join us in this game).
3. 51 views – Trivia Recap – April 18, 2016 – Sporcle Live League Championship – 59 West
4. 35 views – Trivia Recap – Dec. 3, 2016 – Sporcle Live League Championship (I did not even technically “write” this one, I copied and pasted this from a Toledo team).
5. 33 views – Unknown or deleted – Tied with U.S. States and all of the other states they get all touchy-feely with (my attempt to conquer a particular trivia knowledge area, lol…).
6. 32 views – Hitchhiker’s Guide to Michigan’s Microbrewery Universe (unsure why this appears on the list twice…puzzling)
7. 30 views – Table of contents page for my blog site – such RIVETING stuff, really! 🙂
8. 28 views – Best “Singable” ’80s songs
9. 25 Views – Ghosts of Michigan’s Craft Breweries Past (another blog I should probably update one of these days)
10. 24 Views – Trivia Recap – Oscar’s Sports Grill – Sept. 24, 2017 (I had difficulty publishing this blog on Facebook, so I linked readers to this blog)

Again, thanks to all of you for taking time to visit this blog, which is no longer the loneliest site on the Internet!
