  • OUR ONE MILLIONTH COMMENT!!!

Congratulations to commenter bedipped, who will receive a spectacular package of prizes including a Stranger t-shirt, a Stranger deck of cards, temporary Stranger tattoos (use as a template for permanent ones!), various pins ("PEOPLE HATE ME ON SLOG"), passes to Northwest Film Forum, and passes to an upcoming Stranger Presents event of bedipped's choosing.

AND CONGRATULATIONS TO US ONE AND ALL! We couldn't have done it without the trolls. And by that I mean it would've taken longer but been more pleasant.

What, it took you guys 16 hours to count yesterday's comments?

Bedipped has changed his profile pic in the meantime. Do try to keep up.

bedipped is a gross username for someone writing about santorum. Ew. Glad you guys chose to spray us with glitter and not something else. But, for the record, great comment!

(Oh, I'm an idiot - didn't check the context. It's about Ken Hutcherson, not santorum. Still a great comment.)

Geez, all the promo stuff might be nice, but stop acting like cheap bastards and give bedipped some dinner coupons or make Bethany take bedipped and another guest along to restaurant reviews for a month.

DOUG. darling, I'll bet I'm not even top. Our representative from Fremont has that sewn up, I'll wager.

I love that the beautiful confetti splash works great on the mobile version yet 404s the post itself, just as if it were a Slog poll.

Hey, look, I've tried to hijack the thread. When we get to a million hijacks let us know.

Congrats on one million! And, awesome banner! Now, how do you make it go away?

I knew my lifelong emulation of John Cage's adherence to chance would one day pay off but had no idea the awards and accolades would be so grand. I'd like to thank the Sloggerati for daily lessons in crassness and kindness and the Stranger's complete lack of standards for making this all possible.

I read this Slog daily, far more than I post. I love it, and admire all of you for the work that you do - even.... Nope - no snark. Seriously - y'all rock.

Congratulations on building a community that launched a million comments! With love and affection - W

OMG I want a pin that says that people hate me on Slog. It's mildly true.
