Speaking of Centurion...

Today's entry marks the 100th edition of this blog. To be honest, I kind of expected these entries to peter out after 4 or 5 days. And, really, sitting down and typing pointless drivel on one hundred days is not much of an accomplishment. But it does give me a ready-made topic that requires very little thought and begs for absolutely no creativity. Just the kind of day I'm looking for.

In fact, I have been somewhat surprised at the interest in the site. Not because the band is uninteresting, on the contrary they are a talented, highly entertaining bunch of seasoned musicians who provide me, sometimes unintentionally, with plenty of things to write about. Most of the tales I weave about them have at least some germ of truth behind them. I mean everyone knows that Likki doesn't have sex with minors, right? If he did he'd be in jail getting molested, daily, but he has lots of 'younger' fans. Damage isn't a vampire...though I have heard he's earned his red wings. And Emaxx doesn't really need anger management, can someone just give him a cigarette, please. Of course, some things are true, through and through. Like Gunns bathing in the urine of pre-pubescent Asian girls (sorry, Tommy's mom...).

The aforementioned interest has come from far and wide. We've seen visits from people in every U.S. state, with the exception of North Dakota, where they have yet to get the internet. In Canada, we've had visitors from every province, but none from any of the territories. I've been to the North and understand that just keeping warm is more important than wasting time sitting in one spot, freezing, while reading some dumb shit about how Emaxx likes bananas (despite the twisted shit he's doing with them...). Around the world we've seen hits from expected rock hot spots like the U.K., France, Germany, even the homeland of Black Metal, Norway. We hope they are sufficiently amused by our innocent tales that they stay home and don't come burn any churches here. But the visits that really surprise me are the ones from countries that wouldn't even let this band on their soil. Yes, we've had visitors from Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, even Iraq!

In total we've had thousands of visitors from 75 countries. Some only popped in for a second, but I really want to thank the really bored guy in Pawtucket, Rhode Island who visited 22 pages in one visit (at a time when I didn't even realize that we had 22 pages of content). And then there's the guy from Sofia, Bulgaria who seems to have fallen asleep while checking out the site, that or he really liked the picture of some naked woman I linked to. And honorable mentions, time-wise go to our friends in Kapellen, Belgium and Woodbridge, N.J., guys I love you, but get a f**king life.

To all who have bothered to waste a moment or two here, precious time from their busy lives that they're never gonna get back, I, we, want to thank you for taking the time to see what's up with Broken Toyz...everybody's favorite '80's metal dinosaurs.

Rock on...
