As we come to the end of the year, it's become tradition for the writers to look back over some of their favorite stories. This week, you'll start to see posts from each of the writers around a specific category, and I'm going to kick us off with a Top Twenty Most Read Stories of the Year.
These are the stories that got the most traffic this year. I have only included stories that were WRITTEN this year, as quite a few of our top performers still come from the back archives, and I'll be including those in an all time Top Ten nearer to the end of the year.
So - let's see which stories and authors got the most buzz in 2008:
#20 - Ten Slutty Costumes not to let your daughter dress in for Halloween
We posted this just before halloween, as a warning about what to expect knocking on your door.

#15 - Vagina Punch

I'm curious. What does it say about the Loyal 77 that the contribution garnering the most traffic for the year has a grand total of ZERO comments?
Scara, love the Pageant pic for this. Truly, they're all winners.
Tim, good question. Maybe everyone looked at that posting, nodded their head and said, 'Yepn, that's how it aughta be. Naught to say righ cheer.'
OTOH, the Vagina Punch vid was controversial and that had plenty of commentary. (Read at your own risk.)
Echo, weren't you just bitching about how your stories don't get traffic?
Another clever ruse on your part I guess.
This is all going according to plan. Tomorrow's post: Women in the Workplace in 1944.
Oh yeah, well Extra More Booty Meat is coming up next! Followed by Nipples for Barack The Inauguration Edition and AHL Ice Girls with Teeth!
Same 'ole, same 'ole. Boring!
I suggest you combine the efforts, Baier.
"Booty Meat for Barack On Ice"
.. with or without teeth, I'll tune in for that!
You'll need video.
I wonder what will come up if I google that.
You go right ahead and use your IP address for that submission, my friend.
