Wow… For a (temporarily? Maybe!) dead blog, we had quite a year. We received this summary of our annual stats from WordPress, and I have to admit, I delayed clicking it for fear of depression, a strong sense of failure, self-recriminations, etc.
It turns out, we had a big year anyway, especially with fans in India (you guys!!!!) and folks searching for assless chaps (which thanks to our dearly departed BiscuitDoughJones, we know is a misnomer – chaps are, by definition, assless). She’s not dead, you guys, she just got married and had other things to do.
At any rate, we are considering blogging again. We’ve been in the trenches, team, and there’s a lot to report. For those of you who were regular readers back when we were more responsible posters, we can’t thank you enough; blogging for no pay can feel like a seriously thankless exercise, until someone posts a comment. Many of you have blogs of your own, and feel this pain. Others of you stopped by just to offer hilarious, thoughtful, and provocative commentary; some of you just had discount Viagra to promote, or needed to let bitches know that they be sluts.
Thanks to all of our regulars: SarahHeartburn, MishBish, AspiringExpatriate, and Shana are just a few that come to mind (there are others of you – if I ever get my shit together to do a thank you post, I think you know if you’d be on it). I think I might be ready to start blogging again, and will check in with my compatriots. It’s a worthy exercise, but so much (SO MUCH) more gratifying and interesting and fun for the absolutely stellar commenters we were so lucky to gain.
So, again: With so many worthy and funny blogs and Tumblrs (TUMBLER, GOD I JUST CANNOT) out there, we are sincerely grateful for the time you spent visiting our humble commode. So, thank you again, and if you have a story you think needs to be shared in this space, email us at buttercuppunch at gmail.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 180,000 times in 2011. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 8 days for that many people to see it.

Thanks for the shout out tailfeather!
Thank God for fitforafemme or I would be having complete withdrawals – you built up a following and now I don’t know what’s happened to Trixie and her sweet younger boyfriend, how Christmas went with her Hagrid mother, What Bangie B is doing and whether she has rescued more animals, what she thinks of her lovely Lohan now and whether she’s working. Bowling for dollars comments regularly on Jez but I’ve moved on from that site now.
I FEEL YOU ABOUT TUMBLR!!!

hello……hi…………is this thing on?
well! I am amazed to see a comment and from a regular no less! thank you, MissBish. as Tailfeather says, we are thinking about trying to get back in this space again. well, at least her and I are, I can’t speak for Trixie. I myself have had LOADS of changes in the last year — in fact, look for a spin-off blog done by myself and my male companion wherein we review the many live music shows and various other adventures we embark upon. laws will be broken, treaties will be stretched, surreptitious pictures will be taken.

Ahh! I’d forgotten to update my own blog for a while but in doing so yesterday, I was reminded of this little corner of the interwebs. I’ve always loved the posts and general awesomeness present on this blog. Here’s hoping it’s not gone forever!
