This is not the state of the nation

I’m aware that I haven’t done a ‘State of the Dandy Nation’ post for a while. In fact, it’s been so long that there are probably people reading this who don’t even know what that means.

Every month, when this blog was new, and fresh, and throbbing, I would let you wonderful people into some of the stats from the previous month (or however long it had been since the previous time that I’d done it) – I’d include things like the top-ten all-time posts and what countries had checked the blog out more than any other, or what strange and odd things people had typed into Google to find us.

I like thinking of us as us you know… You the reader, me the purveyor of lurid scoria, the people who visit the blog purely because I very often slip a word into the Metadata that people often use when searching for pornography – It helps to foster inclusion, and it makes me giggle uncontrollably.

Did I tell you about the time when I got confused for a busty, red-headed camgirl model, for like six months or something? People were googling “IsHotMyself Dandy” (Which was the name of a site she was featured on) But were being pointed to my page, explaining about the wonderful day when I shot myself… Easy mistake to make I suppose, I’m hoping that at least some of them stayed (If you are one of those people, please leave a message in the comments… I’ll buy a red wig and post a topless photo of myself as a treat for you… Might even sign it) - I was going to post a picture of the young lady concerned... But, I couldn't really find one that was 'appropriate' - You could try the search yourself, just not a work, OK?

Anywho, nowadays, if you want to know the all-time top-ten posts, I post them on the right-hand side of the main page, so you can take a look yourself. As far as our audience goes – It’s mostly the USA, followed by Russia, the UK, then the Ukraine… With a load of European countries making up the rest of the top ten. To be honest, the only thing people have googled to find us, other than the name of the blog, are the words ‘Dzit Dit Gaii’ (Which is Navajo for ‘The Mountain that is White’) – and only goes to show that the Internet is still full of conspiracy theorists. And that they’re coming to me for answers – The poor confused lambs.

-oOo-

Anyway, I wanted to do something different this time, if you follow me on Twitter (@Chimping_Dandy) you’ll know that I occasionally post phrases, in the style of Redtop headlines that, when typed into Google – Show search results where this blog (in general, not this post in particular) is the first result. I thought that I might share a few of them with you… In the vain hope that you might find them funny, or odd, or a cry for help from a fat, bald man whose readership figures aren’t what they were when he was posting every day instead of having a lunch-break.

I’ll start with the most recent one…

  • Colin Firth makes an example of lesbian weasels using cutlery – Takes you HERE
  • Alvaston Nazi hunter finds pizza from 1953 – Takes you HERE
  • Stickleback tin helmet brain lesion made Benedict Cumberbatch try breast feeding – Takes you HERE
  • A drunk moorhen on its gap-year wears teenage student underwear – Takes you HERE
  • Christmas blindness blamed on primrose cannabis vodka – Takes you HERE

You know, if you get a spare minute, maybe you'd want to try this for yourself, it'll probably waste a few minutes, it might even be fun - If you find a good one, send it in - I'll say thanks and everything... Probably

Для чудових людей України

Перш за все, я можу тільки сказати спасибі за підтримку 'The Chimping Dandy'
так довго. Ви натхнення.

Насправді, ви натхненням для цієї посади. Мені просто цікаво, чому ви б читати відро для блог про випадкових речей, які часто не роблять дуже багато сенсу?

(Я, ймовірно, слід вибачитися і отримаєте мого жахливого українською, все це було переведено 'Google Translate'. Англійська мова є єдиною мовою я вільно говорити, з можливо трохи французька, німецька, іспанська та Клінгонською.)

Так що я б дуже вдячний, якби ви могли залишити коментар, просто дайте мені знати, що тримає вас, хлопці повертаються. Може бути, я міг би зробити більше?

У страшній українському можливо?

Або, можливо, ні.

Звичайно, є ймовірність того, що ви є носієм англійської мови просто жити в Україні, і це добре теж. Але питання досі стоїть, з якого дива ви читаєте цю впертий сміття?

Спасибі за читання. Я дійсно був би вдячний, якби Ви відповісти.

OK, for those of you who aren't as fluent in Ukranian as I am, the title of this blog is: 

'To the wonderful people of the Ukraine'

And the body of the text reads:

First of all, can I just say thank you for supporting The Chimping Dandy for so long.  You're an inspiration.

In fact, you're the inspiration for this post.  I just wondered why you would read a rubbish blog about random things that often don't make very much sense?

(I should probably apologise now for my terrible Ukranian, it was all translated by Google Translate.  English is the only language I speak fluently, with maybe a little bit of French, German, Spanish and Klingon.)

So I would really appreciate it if you could leave a comment, just to let me know what keeps you guys coming back.  Maybe I could do more of it?

In terrible Ukranian perhaps?

Or perhaps not.

Of course, there is a possibility that you are a native English speaker just living in the Ukraine, which is good too.  But the question still stands, why on Earth would you read this opinionated rubbish?

Thanks for reading.  I really would appreciate it if you would reply.

Maybe we'll find out why the Blog is so popular in The Ukraine - If it's as fruitful as when I asked why we were getting so many hits from Russia, we'll never know, because precisely nobody replied to my queries then.  Are people in The Ukraine known for being more chatty?

Maybe it's the same person?

Maybe they were in Russia, but are now in The Ukraine? - Ah... If that's the case... I wonder?

Maybe I've put my foot in it with the Security Services again?

But even if I have, I've learned that the Ukranian word for 'Klingon' is 'клінгонов'... Which is brilliant. Not that I can pronounce it of course.
