We used to call this the Top Commentator of the Month post, but in reality, this blog is called Pop Critics and you are all critics just like Jason and I are. Hence, the name change.
But in all fairness, nothing has changed. The Trousered Ape once again claims the top spot after a minimal challenge from The Cap’n.
So once again, we have another quote from the Ape:
Coming in first time and again is just hard work, but I’m willing to sacrifice to do it so you don’t have to!
He’s so generous, so kind, isn’t he?
Well, last month’s rankings had us with only 12 Critics in double-digit comments, and I told everyone that if we hit 15 in March, Jason Clark would tell us his most embarrassing moment in life.
Sadly, he’s on vacation for a few more days, so we’ll just have to wait until next month for that little tidbit, but the goal was accomplished nonetheless.
In fact, we had 16 of you hit double-digits, which is just flat-out awesome. If I haven’t said it before, interaction from you guys is what makes us tick, and what helps us learn about more things to talk about. In the near future, we’ll probably be instituting some sort of “Critic’s Alert!” where you guys can submit stories you find that you think would be interesting for us, which could be another way in which you can interact with PopCritics.com, and make it your home.
And now, here are the standings for March, complete with links to everyone’s blog or website. I’d like to note Kory stepping up for the first time in
The Top 5
The Trousered Ape (102) – Yawn…
Cap’n Schwartz (74) – Yawn…always a step behind Ape
Scotty Dub (57) – Nice showing, 20 more than last month!
Steven (42) – Steven wasn’t even in our Top 12 in February, and suddenly makes the top 5! Welcome back!
Jina (39) – My wife…45 last month, 47 the month before…she’s consistent as always.
Best of the Rest
Here are the rest of the Top 20 Critics for March. Nice to see newcomers ZachB, Bill and BIM appear this month. I know BIM, and I think in April he’s sure to be a double-digit Critic.
Kory and Ana jumped from nothing to double-digits, and while Ana is Jason’s wife and naturally is going to be commenting, it’s great to see Kory bust out of his shell and start letting us know what he thinks!
R.A. Porter (31)
nicky (28)
Jeff (28)
MichaelB (formerly known … (25)
Frank C (25)
Ana (17)
Kory (16)
Adam (15)
Rob O. (15)
Robert (13)
Steve McGrath (12)
Zach B (9)
Bill (8)
BIM (8)
Adrian (6)
Thanks Again
As always, you guys are appreciated and keep the comments coming!
The only thing double-digit about BIM is his weight…oh, wait, I mean triple digit…ugh…nevermind.
Halla BIM
The Trousered Ape’s last blog post..American Idol (2008) – Week 5 – Top 3
..yawn?!?!?! yawn?!?!? I got a yawn for 74 quality (ok mid quality) posts and I took off the first 2 weeks of march and didnt post due to being focused on the job and still mustered a clear 2nd (as always intended, as no website to promote),, yawn!?!?! That must be a April Fools joke… =)
and the other side of the coin what can I say about my buddy Trousered? He just went Ape again on the posts…
I finally got sick and tired of sitting on the sidelines.
I love the Cap’n getting all bent out of shape over a few “yawns”
Kory, glad you got sick of it
Thanks Cap’n – I’m going to take it leisurely this month so you should have a good chance at taking the top spot – although I do already have my quote ready for next month, so I might change my mind.

lol… come on bud, make all the other slackers step up to your level, dont make the rest of us suffer with a lack of ape comments just because you are giving up the top spot!
Can’t have less Ape in April of all months.
Staying in the top 3 is getting to be work. Not sure I can do much better than 57. Perhaps some people have a little too much free time.
Scotty Dub’s last blog post..My what a pretty resume you have…
Ya’ll would hate to see my monthly total
@ Mike – that’s only because you have less of a life than I do…
@ Cap’n – yeah – i need to keep the top spot in April – I can’t let a good quote for next months win go to waste! lol
@ BIM – true dat…double true – ror

What’s going on? Are you guys trying to win April in one day… in one blog post? Give the rest of us a chance!
If I was trying to do that, I would have posted each of my responses to those three guys in separate posts and not one. I’m trying to save the PopCritics environment here.

Ana had 17 comments? I didn’t see all those. Is she commenting behind my back?
and under your nose….

Hey, thanks for the mention!
@Jason: There are a lot of things that go on here that you don’t know about….
What are you trying to say?
[...] In March, we had ONE guy over 100 comments, and that was the Trousered Ape with 102. The overall record was 167 back months ago, so things had tapered off. [...]
