You’d probably have to probe the archives of Dr. Demento to find it, but there was a modest little hit in a humor song years ago, a parody of Jimmy Dean’s “Big John.” The song praised the life of Irving, a Jewish cowboy who was “the 142nd fastest gun [RIMSHOT] in the West.”
I thought of it immediately when I learned that, according to Wikio, this blog, Millard Fillmore’s Bathtub, ranks 2,263.
No kidding. Not even enough swat to rank in a category.
So, why is Anthony Watts so ticked at this measly little mosquito of a blog?

George, you ain’t nearly so slow as you pretend!

Could be who you’re shooting at. Even if the 142nd-fastest were shooting at me I’d take notice.

This month has been slow — lots of real work that takes real time. Alas.

If you want to keep that rank, you’ve got to keep posting. I was ranked in the 2000s for a while, but then I more or less took a year off — posting maybe 2 or 3 times a month — and now I’m ranked around 16,000! You drop pretty fast if you don’t post.
