Really?! Coming from you, that says something. I'll have to ask Ash if this is a record. He'd know for sure ;)

That's really something. Was it cross posted to Gawker or one of the others?

Time to share the article to a million more fresh eyes so you can get at least 5k more recommends. Come on people! Let's push this one over the top!

ttyymmnn > Brian, The Life of

Now it's 457.... I had to. Not only for the sake of the count. But, it is one of the best explanations of TQ vs. HP I've seen.

Wait, what happened to COTD? I haven't been to FP in a while, had no idea it was missing...

Ash and Speigel kick my ass on a regular basis, but you might have a record for Jalopnik. The all time record is on deadspin. It was a marige joke, of course.

i don't think I've had 400 recommendations in the whole time I've been on gawker, which I started reading gizmodo and lifehacker last summer and registered my account in september of last year. The most ive had is 10.

It happens, it took me a while to get out of the grey mist of pre-tiger. Just say something funny or troll hard, but still be funny and you'll get recommends.

It was cross posted to Gawker yesterday. http://gawker.com/?startTime=140…

$kaycog > Brian, The Life of

You may hit 500 easily. I hit 200+ a couple of times on articles that were cross posted to Gawker. You did amazingly fantastic!

They haven't posted one since May. No idea why.

It's sad. I think the average comment quality has dropped off a bit since then. COTD was a great motivator — I gunned at it pretty hard for over a year before I ever won one.
