The Illuminated Donkey

50,000 Visits: the Countdown Begins! One day this week, most likely Thursday, The Donk will receive its 50,000 visitor, and just as we did for #10,000 and #25,000, we're giving away a fantastic prize. The rules are simple: check the Site Meter counter to your left whenever you visit The Donk. If you see a 5 followed by a whole bunch of zeroes, just send me an e-mail, preferably accompanied by a screen capture, and you win!

And what do you win? Well, besides a commemorative certificate suitable for framing and a few assorted knicknacks, for one day The Illuminated Donkey will become The Illuminated...YOU! For one glorious day next week you and only you will be the focus of the 225th most-linked-to blog in the whole blogging ecosystem! Stories, anecdotes, commentary, poetry, and more — all of it about your interests, your hobbies, and just plain you, in all of your wonderful youness.
