Reading All of Neatorama

Alex

I know that we have a lot of regular daily readers here on the blog, but I've always wondered how many of you actually have read all of Neatorama. You know, click on the "Next Page" link on the end of the page until you've reached the blog's very first post.

It's a daunting task - we have over 16,370 posts as of the time I wrote this entry. At Neatorama's long page of 30 posts, that's nearly 550 pages full of goodness!

Well, it turned out that at least one of you did. Here's an email sent to us by Neatorama reader Mitch Wilson of Hungry Hollow Art (That's Mitch and the missus on there yonder photo):

My name is mitch and stumbled upon your site by accident while reading a story on my yahoo home page, I think it was about hoaxes. Anyhoo, I found your archives on the web and worked my way through all 546 pages. It has taken me a little over 2 months in my spare time to complete, sometimes as much as five or six hours in a sitting. A very addicting site indeed! I am now registered and get updates when you post them, just to see what you dig up next. An awesome site that my two sons and myself have really enjoyed, well except for my sore backside from hours of scanning hypnotizing post in my chair.

Thanks for letting us know and sorry about the backside, Mitch!

PS. What should we call such a schlep anyways? Neatoramaddiction? NeatoramAtoZ?

I've read it all. I think I read all of the archives at some point last year. Since then I've had to check the site daily in order to keep up! I'm hooked!

I've read it all too and it has provided me with many hours of entertainment at work. It's the first thing I do every morning during the week so Mondays are the best!

Absinthe strainer, of course. Sugar cube on the spikes, slow drip of ice water over the spoon and into the glass of pure wormwood extract - psychadelic heaven. Doesn't everybody have one of these?

This is a self-scritcher for cats. With the points facing down, the cat takes the handle into his/her mouth and uses the self-scritcher to get at those hard to reach itchy spots. A favorite location for all cats is just at the base of the tail. However, self-scritching in this body area often leads to the cat adopting a pose most cats consider to be highly undignified: chest to the ground, hind legs on tippy-toes with butt and tail waving high in the air. Most cats try to avoid using the self-scritcher in public, and thus far, have avoided being recorded with one and the subsequent video placed on YouTube.com.

Victor Frankenstein couldn't bring himself to destroy his creature, but he couldn't allow the creature to live without punishment for his murders. Thus, Victor invented this and told his creature it was better than toilet paper.

It's an antique outhouse toilet paper holder. Since they didn't have 'toilet paper' on a roll in the olden days they hung Sears and Roebuck's catalog sheets on the prongs, nice and handy and oh, so close by. It also did double duty for reaching that hard to get bit in the back when your arm just isn't strong enough to... The more modern version held catalog sheets AND corncobs, BTW. But not this one.

It's obviously a torture spoon for the one-fisted masochist in your life who has everything. Could use some sharpening, though.

Most people think this is some type of handheld tool, but they have the scale all wrong. It's actually about three feet long and is an antique luge, used during the first winter olympics held during the Spanish Inquisition.
