Since I literally just remembered this anniversary- similar to that of the husband realizing on the day of his 30 year anniversary I am caught red handed and have nothing all too special or sentimental to say. In fact its funny because I am making my second live appearance ever tonight at an open mic night in Brooklyn. But since it is a pretty big milestone that I thought I would never reach I will give you some dry Ben Stein-esque statistics to mull over in your brains. If you would like to read the history of Frum Satire Blog part one and part two.
I looked at last years pathetic one year anniversary announcement and cringed so I am wondering what to do- I could repost my best posts ever- I could do a series, but its only one day and a short one for that matter.
For now you can see the Statistics of Frum Satire:

Frum Satire was hacked once and redirected to porn, I have my suspicions it was a Charedi news site that was mad about something I said about them- but I cannot prove it.
My favroite posts: See Best of section on sidebar
Plans for the future:
I would like to try and focus on the positive because its more of a challenge to make fun of positive things. I am looking to expand readership into a wider audience- so I can get past that stubborn 1200 readers a day mark. and maybe get noticed by the larger secular Jewish blogs.
I hope to do more live events and maybe make some more professional videos- and more improvisational videos- like on scene footage from the cholent gas station, and hidden shidduch cams.
Last but not least I would like to thank the fellow bloggers that have helped me along the way- there aren’t too many because as many of you know I am not really a blogger in the traditional sense, in that I am not big on reading other blogs unless people send me links. This short list is of people who have given me sage advice and helped me along the way.
Frum Outdoorsman (just joking- thats my personal blog)
Sarah Zeldman (started my blog for me)
Tips for other bloggers– (I think I may do an informative post on this) Don’t expect traffic and comments- if you have something interesting to say people will “eventually” find it, it took me a long time to get more then 10 hits a day.
Hey…Happy Blogaversary!
Many many more! (and keep us laughing along the way…)
Mazel Tov! You continue to rock! Looking forward to many more years!
In honor of his anniversary, someone should sponsor a higher CPU quota from Bluehost. I hate getting those “Exceeded CPU Quota” messages.
P.S. I am usually first because I have the blog on RSS, and usually see posts as soon as they are posted.
Yes but I have hundreds of RSS feed subscribers- but you are always the first- oh and definitely the longest- how long have you been reading this stuff.
And i thought hesh had my IP address bugged, because I was getting those messages alot, lately. Good to know, I am not the only one who keeps refreshing the page to see if someone else had something smart or funny to say.
Congratulations!
Dude congrats!
unfortunately i started reading after you cleaned up your act so i will never have the pleasure of seeing what you deemed offensive,…oh well.
I love your older stuff btw.
Congrats on the Blogaversary and if you get married will you keep this up?Also how do you get that RSS? (did I say that right)
Mike on the top right hand corner of this blog is a small RSS button- click it- or get a service like bloglines which lets you keep up to date with any blog you want.
Happy Blogoversary ….and many more….
I was hoping you would have a video presentation for this post but alas…
Happy Blogaversary Hesh! i have to say that my life is that much richer when you blog – the comments have a life of their own too, and it just is a cool place to be hanging out in.
Mike, he’d better keep it up when he gets married otherwise we as well as his wife will be disappointed!
Congratulations! In honor of your blogoversary, I propose that each of your readers post a comment noting the first time they fell off their chair laughing while reading your blog.
I’ll go first.
It was back in December, when you attended your friend’s fancy wedding and wrote in pornographic detail about every bite of food that you managed to shove into your mouth. I was already cracking up at your descriptions, when you dropped this bomb:
“I have all these ideas of what I want to march into during my wedding most recently being Cherry Pie by Warrant and Bang Your Head by Quiet Riot. Just the thought of every one air guitaring in their suits to some80s hair metal turns me on.”
That did it for me.
Is it too early in the day to have a drink in your honor?
Happy Blogaversary!!!!!!
Congratulations, man! Look at what you’ve done! 🙂
Congrats.
Mabrrook ma man!
BTW, mookie is on the “dead bloggy” list//
Its been real yo
congrats.
wishing you many more hilarious posts in the future 🙂
Happy 2nd, Hesh.
When I first discovered your blog, I couldn’t believe that anyone could make so many everyday things seem so funny. Now, many months later, I’m still laughing. Consider me a major fan!
The chabad in me says that this calls for a l’chaim! (but then again, what doesn’t?)
Hey, in honor of your funnyfamousblogaversary I will give a shout out. Its been over a year since I came across this random site on google searching for um…stuff, and I’m glad to say that I have learned laughed and gained a lot from your blog (as you may know) so congrats on your success. I actually found your link on my father’s favorites list on his computer, now that is mad popular! :oP
MW that makes me so proud- your father.
Redhead the chabad in me says so too! I even had two half beers last night.
