Still Steaming

At last! Bandwagon Best is 50 (posts old)!

That's right, what takes a dedicated blog writer no more than two months to achieve, we have achieved in just under two years. To celebrate this meaningless milestone and to cover up the fact that we have so little worth saying on here these days, here are some interesting stats and facts about the Bandwagon.

• Including this post, there have been 50 entries to Bandwagon Best to date. 50 is often thought of as a significant number as it has a 0 as it's final digit. It is more significant than most of the other numbers that conclude in 0 as it is exactly half of 100 - but of course it is not as important as 100 itself as that has two 0's.
  



• Although there have been 50 posts, there has only ever been 10 jokes published, most recycled over and over again. Of those 10, Chris has only ever thought of one all by himself, stealing the others from Private Eye, Have I Got News For You, an old issue of The Beano and Vanessa's Real Lives



• Bandwagon Best was given a cease and desist order in the summer of 2005 for publishing the word "cough" in an article entitled "Bugger Cough". The word had been trademarked by Teqwin Whittock 12 months earlier. The matter was settled out of court when Mr. Best agreed to donate his fee from the article to the charity "Victims Of Strepsil Misuse"



• On 4th October this year the website received it's biggest amount of hits ever - 6 in one day, a new world record at the time. This was sadly surpassed when the BBC revamped it's Last Of The Summer Wine site with an all new bathtub racing game.



• The most popular phrases that link to this site via Google include "Otters eating muffins", "Blind Wagon Beasts" and "Lemar/Lemur lookalike comparison"



• Noteworthy fans of the website include Mcauley Culkin - "I read it whenever I'm Home Alone", quipped the pint-sized funster.



• Creator Chris Best says he can see no end in sight for the Blog "After 50 posts many might think we've run out of steam. I assure you, we have plenty of stories to make fun of yet", he said as he opened up the latest edition of Private Eye.
