Today marks a milestone in the history of Call Me Stormy. We have now published 10,000 posts.
Actually 9,998 posts as of today, while hitting 10,000 tomorrow.
To celebrate, we present the five most popular posts in the history of our blog, which we launched back in 2012. We always present hard-hitting political posts, but guess what? None of the most popular pieces we have run involve politics. Instead, they cover a stranger melange of topics: sex, pets, an anal examination, bizarre creatures and subway gangs.
Without further ado, here are the top five.
No. 1 from Sep. 2, 2012
Women Press to Go Topless
Reason.TV offers coverage of a topless protest in Washington, DC. The video has nearly 500,000 views and Stormy readers have supplied 1,613 of those.

That’s it — for now! We promise to return with an update once we’ve run 20,000 videos. That will be a few years, though, so don’t sit around waiting for it!
