Best Thompson Posts of 2004
As 2004 stumbles to a close, many of our blogger buddies have begun churning out their "Best of 2004" lists. For instance, Jason Kottke has already gotten up on the board twice. First, he penned his "Favorite Weblogs of 2004" (Gothamist just barely scraped in at #10; and aimless? For shame, Mr. Kottke. We have a clear aim: being occasionally awesome.) Always the overachiever, Kottke rang in a second time with "Best Links of 2004" (note to Gawker: Jason Kottke secretly loves... Malcolm Gladwell!) Anyway, Gothamist is super-competitive, so without further ado, our latest "best-of" list: the top ten blog posts featuring Thompson the cat:
10. Thompson Live
9. Thompson on the Mend
8. Thompson is Doing Well
7. Thompson and Mingus
6. Thompson's New Look
5. Even More Thompson
4. Thompson YM Interview
3. Thompson at One
2. Return of Thompson
1. 16-35mm, 50mm, 85mm Cat

rachelle thinks all the goth sites should adopt official mascots. i challenge any of our other cities to produce a cuter specimen than thompson. the gauntlet has been thrown down, suckas!
im polling our contributors right now to see if they have pets. i think that 2 of them have babies.. not sure how furry they are, though.
I can't decide whether this roundup has convinced me that I really need to get a cat or that cat people are insane.
ellen, clearly, it's a little of both.
As I constantly tell my Fiancé, We Cat people *are* an eccentric bunch...
;)
I think Thompson would make a fine mascot for Gothamist. I'm parttial to My cat Harry myself...
"Goth" Sites? Scary thought...
clearly, it's not "cat people" that are insane, just Jake Dobkin.
Persians. Feh. No thanks. Shorthairs rule.
I'm going to make you pay me a nickel for every usage of "occasionally awesome," you realize?
HAPPY HOLIDAYS GOTHAMISTS.
I agree with the Capt. Short hairs rule! Though I must admit, Thompson is cute.
okay, onto serious conversation here: obviously, "thompson's new look" should have scored MUCH higher on the top ten list... c'mon, thompson in homemade ugg boots? at least #4.
btw, why is there no #3 on this list? is there a secret thompson entry readers don't know about? ;)
Hold on - a scandal is brewing! Somehow the Thompson YM Interview got demoted to #4. Clearly the interview was the best Thompson post of 2004. I demand a recount.
And yes, I have too much free time at work today.
I completely understand the compulsion to photograph one's cat -- check this out (http://homepage.mac.com/feinsodville/PhotoAlbum28.html)....
