6: Jeff Foxworthy’s Colonoscopy

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Call Me Stormy has been in existence nine years now, and we have made 15,000 posts. To celebrate these milestones, today we re-publish our top 10 posts as measured by their popularity with our readers. We begin with No. 10 and will work our way up to No. 1. All of these posts have more than 900 views each, the best nearly 50,000. Here’s No. 6, originally published Sep. 3,  2013.)

Jeff Foxworthy returns to LOL with a tale of his first colonoscopy. He says there are three steps to the procedure, the most important being the pre-surgery consultation. “And please pay attention during the consultation,” Foxworthy says. “I say this not because I did but because I didn’t. Because I’m a comedian, I’m trying to make jokes. I’m like, ‘Oh I bet you meet a lot of assholes in your business don’t you.’” Check out the rest of Foxworthy’s hilarious experience, and come on back to LOL next Tuesday for another taste of the lighter side of life. — The Wickel

Stormy Milestone: 10,000 Posts

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!
