Things happening on the blog today:
1. I'm preparing the egg salad sandwich vlog.
2. The Site Meter is getting precariously close to 10 million visitors. What am I going to do to mark the occasion? Surely, it can't be to eat an egg salad sandwich. Momentous though that is.

For a monumentous occasion like 10 million, I would have thought the right question would have been who, not what.
Eating an Egg Salad sandwich and vlogging on the occasion of your ten millionith hit, seems an appropriate acknowledgement of your relationship with your readers, and Ruth Anne in particular.
I second Stever's suggestion.
It's perfect, Annie!!
You will be making a fool of yourself for money.
Kinda sums up all the reasons I come here. And so many of the 10 million.
And remember: I'm still willing to put in much bigger money for things you are even less willing to do!
Site meter does have a margin of error, ya know.
But, assming it's 100% accurate....the question is: does that amount of people visiting.....justify the amount of income Althouse collects from doing this?
The largest Blogs on the Net are nowhere close to turning a profit.
But, Congratulations, anyway.
Love, Maxine
If it's me, I'd like to on the blogroll...my interests are nothing if not vested ones...
I think everyone is waiting to see you make faces on EggsSaladVlog ... (might I suggest "I'm putting all my eggs in one basket" as the background music?)
But what if you like it?
XO cognac and a fine cigar are never out of style.
My video recording of eating the sandwich is frozen. QuickTime won't let me hit the pause button. I may have ruined the recording!
What am I going to do to mark the occasion?
Switch to a format that has:
1) Ignore Feature - users can forever ignore [hide/unhide]abusive commenters with one click.
2) Strikeout tags
3) IMG tags

You'll have to eat another sandwich. And film it all over again.
And again.
Remember the movie "Groundhog Day"?

I may have ruined the recording!
Thats unfortunate. I guess you'll have to eat that egg salad twice now :)
[no mercy, guys]
Refund, refund.
If there's no Vlog, Althouse is forced to refund all the money!
I bet Althouse is one of those Dainty Ladies that eat their sandwiches with a knife and fork.
I think SteveR's 2:38 is exactly right. It seems wholly appropriate that you've got something you've blogged about never having done before, have been goaded into trying by regular readers, and are going to do on a vlog (vlogging being a part of the Althouse tapestry). It's zany and bloggy all at once. Ideal!
With digital anything is possible to fake.
I'm sorry, but I'm the Doubting Thomas on this one.
Unless I take Ann out to lunch and watch her eat cold egg in person, no Vlog is gonna cut no mustard cress over here.

Attica! Attica! Attica!
For those scoring at home (and if you are, you wanna' put some clothes on please?), that's my third movie reference in a row.
I need to get out more.

I agree with Ruth Anne -- if Professor Althouse can accurately convey the delightful taste of a cold egg salad sandwich, well that's enough. Of course, I say that as a miserly person who didn't contribute any filthy lucre.

It didn't work for Nixon, and it ain't gonna work for you.
I demand a special prosecuter!
Ruth Anne: That wasn't the agreement. People sent money under false pretenses. Breach of contract.
Frankly, I don't even believe that there is any kind of glitch. Why didn't she put a photo up, at least.
Suspicious. Then again, business as usual around here.
Everybody: You've been had!
BTW, I can't help but voice a certain gallows humor in the observation that 22,000 visitors - constituting a number "precariously close to 10 million visitors," and two days traffic for Ann - is three months-worth of traffic for us stragglers at SF. ;) We're doing something wrong, methinks. ;)
"You'll have to eat another sandwich. And film it all over again."
Is that fair?
How else can you prove that you ate an egg salad sandwich?
Ann Althouse said...
"Is that fair?"
Depends how well you liked the sandwich the first time. ;)
Is that fair?
Paul Newman never would have said that.
"Is that fair?"
Life isn't.
As far as another sandwich goes, you could always get yourself over to 834 Seventh Ave. and order one there when you hit NYC.
Seems like a more authentic way to go (and it's on the menu)
And after a bit of googling, found this place in Madison that shows Egg Salad on their menu (looks a bit scary, though, and not your usual Althouse style restaurant).
Is that fair?
You're kidding, right? Is it fair to the paying customers if you don't?
And you, a lawprofessor!
Is that fair?
No crying in baseball and no fairness in the blogosphere.
(Or whatever the hell it's called now)
"What we got here, is failure to communicate."
Ya gotta eat that thing, Ann.
Just think, Luke ate 50 eggs. You just have to eat one.
SMG
It really wouldn't be fair.
Look, she said we'd have to pay her $200 for her to eat one.
We said, okay, here's $200.
She ate one.
Now, we didn't say she'd have to eat another one if we don't like the way she eats the first one. Did we?
How would that be fair?
(And Maxine, I'm not a lawyer, so I can't advise you, but there may in fact be lawyers who read this blog who would know whether or not some of your statement's, alluding to Althouse being a cheat and a swindler, might, in fact, qualify as libelous.
I'd watch it if I were you.
Lawyers.
Libel.
Love)
Ann's Andy Rooney Vlog.
maybe scrambled eggs made with white cheddar on pumpernickel bread.

Oh my God, not Camille Paglia covered with egg salad...
Can you believe I've never been to Ella's Deli....
....
... Hey, wait a minute! I've got an idea....

Well, it's not quite the kinkiest fantasty I've ever hear, but it's up there.
;)
i have no chicken in this fight, but i would definitely pay for an extended diavlog between you and camille paglia! please, please do it!
oh, and here's a joke i was just reminded of:
a chicken and an egg are sitting together in bed. the chicken lights a cigarette and says, "well, i guess that answers that question."
thank you, thank you, i'm here all week!
I want to see a vlog with you topless and your nipples painted bright red. No talking on this vlog just you jumping up and down then stopping and the camera on the corona of your nipple.
Performance art and vlogging to a new level. You will be hailed througout the vlog community as brave, interesting, compelling and sexy.
I call the piece "conservative lipstick nipples bouncing". It will be something that will go down in history as an amazing feat.
