So last month was an aberration, an anomaly on the road of life. We had two people with over 300 comments, one of them sitting at 533!
That of course was Cap’n Schwartz, otherwise known as “The Cap’n” around these parts. Would he repeat again?
Yes, he would, despite some serious competition from Scotty Dub, who was THIS close to being the third person to ever win a Top Critics monthly award. Almost got him Scott, but somehow I think the Cap’n wanted just one more month as the victor.
While The Cap’n and The Trousered Ape put on the brakes when it came to their blistering commenting pace, we ended up with FOUR more people in double-digits than April, which is great news.
As I’ve always said, your interaction and participation is what really motivates us and makes this worth it. So we appreciate ALL your comments, even if some of them are just post-padding entries. *grin*
The Top Five
Other than The Ape missing The Top Five, we see a familiar group of names here. Ana and Jina had a nice race last month, but Jina got left in the dust in May.
And how about Kory…sticking in there with 110 comments AND having his first child last month! Congrats to Kory!
Cap’n Schwartz (169)
Scotty Dub (165)
AnaDVR (156)
jina (113)
Kory (110)
The Best of the Rest
Shocking to see The Ape down in this group, but from what I hear, work has been busy for him. 59 for Nicky is a record I believe, and it sure helps that she’s writing a bunch about So You Think You Can Dance. Thanks Nicky!
Now, we do have a newcomer to the top list and that’s DadofIanI. From out of nowhere with 42 comments, welcome to the group Dad!
The rest are familiar faces of course, and we appreciate your loyalty!
Here are the best of the rest:
The Trousered Ape (107)
DadofIanI (63)
nicky (59)
R.A. Porter (51)
BIM (38)
Raven Spinner (34)
Robert (33)
Frank C (24)
Adrian (22)
Adam (20)
Liv (17)
Rob O. (16)
MadFan (15)
Steven (14)

107 still is really good Ape…beats my measley 34. I keep telling myself I should try for the 100+, but I just can’t seem to make it. Maybe this month?
Raven Spinners last blog post..Milla Jovovitch at Cannes: May 2008
Well Raven, you have 6 so far, you are off to a great start
Looks like the Ape is ready to reclaim his throne though.
Yes - quick and speedy wins the race!
I hope Cap’n enjoyed his time in the spotlight and I hope he kept my seat warm for me. After this month, we might have to start referring to him at the Lt.

The Cap’n is off to a bad start since his work hasn’t seen our DNS change yet…so he can’t even get on the new host
And so The Ape makes the Cap’n look like a baboon…
Should be an interesting month.

Man the puns are in full force today…it’s like gorilla warfare
He’s almost like a chimp off the old block.

Stop it, you are gibbon me a stomach ache from all the laughing!
Hoolock the apes out? Hoo? Hoo? Hoo? Hoo? Hoo?

@ Mike - by the way - that was hilarious. “gibbon me a stomach ache” - rotfl.
The Trousered Apes last blog post..Who was Jesus of Nazareth? Parts 5 thru 10 of 10 with Dr. Craig
I liked “chimp off the old block”
We’re going bananas with the one-liners today.

I don’t like all this crazy banter. There’s way too much monkeying around for my taste.
Ain’t no business like Monkey Business
The Trousered Apes last blog post..Who was Jesus of Nazareth? Parts 5 thru 10 of 10 with Dr. Craig
That reminds me of a great quote from Jerry Maguire…
“You had me at monkey….you had me at monkey.”
@ Mike - SITTL
The Trousered Apes last blog post..Who was Jesus of Nazareth? Parts 5 thru 10 of 10 with Dr. Craig
I wish I knew what SITTL means…
Sitting in the Tree Laughing - you’re such a human.
I’m beating my chest at you
AnaDVR has retired her shorthand, and will no longer be doing dance interpretations of “Lost”…for now anyway.
She makes the Top 5 one time and suddenly she’s a “princess.”
That must make Cap’n “belle of the ball”
The Trousered Apes last blog post..Who was Jesus of Nazareth? Parts 5 thru 10 of 10 with Dr. Craig
@ Jason: YOU told me I was your princess.
My comments definitely came to a halt once Brenden Thomas arrived! Probably will be a while before I get back into the top 5. While my comments may be off for the next few months, rest assured that I will still be getting my daily fix of Pop Critics!
Lemme know when you reach 534 comments, then I’ll rejoin the monkey race….
@ Ape - SITTL made me ROR
@ Cap’n - oh, I don’t think there will be any doubt that I will let you know when that event happens.
I’ll be shining up my tap shoes for that event.

@ BIM - ror - nice!
