The Blog Post That Would Not Die
Good and bad news this morning.
The good news is that my post on "Off The Hook" got a mention in B3TA's newsletter and (according to my stats) sent around 1500 readers my way yesterday. That post just will not die!
It's weird how that little blog post, and the soduku page, are two of the biggest draws on my site these days. I get loads of traffic from the great unwashed and not one of them stops to say "yeah but... it's a tranny... ewww!"
It's really pleasing, and surprising, that people don't seem to be that bothered. Like the Theatre Breaks guy, he wrote a nice letter to Becky to say that he'd seen my sudoku game and would like a custom version for his site. I wrote back to say that I could do it, but I should explain that my name wasn't really Becky, and I was a transvestite. He replied "yeah I know, I looked at the rest of your site". No problem then.
Oh yeah, and the bad news is that Protea, the vanity publishing people who nurtured "Off the Hook" into the world have gone out of business. Boo!
I used to love spending an idle hour wandering that site in awed wonder. I wish I'd saved copies of their awful dust jackets page... and the deformed oil paintings section. It's all gone! Sob!

So I wasn't surprised to come and fine your blog, indeed, swamped.
That post just keeps giving. It was hilarious.
It usually takes an obvious statement for me to release that the person behind a blog is "not the same as me".
That may mean they are gay, jewish, asian, or whatever .. but I rarely suss these things unless it's really REALLY obvious (like a big flashing banner atop the page!).
So.. my point.. er.. yeah.. frankly my dear, I don't care. Tranny or not, that's a great post, and this is (from what I've seen of it) a good blog. Onwards and upwards and screw the rest of them!! (ohhh I've come over all rebellious!)
