As 2013 comes to an end, we wanted to detail our most popular stories that made people really upset, laugh hard, or just hate us.

Since we post anywhere between 10-15 stories per week, sometimes stories can get forgotten about. And, we can’t have you forgetting about our awesome stories, so we compiled a list of the top five based on unique views.

Ah, reminiscing…

10. Rex Ryan Wrecks Car in Bethlehem: The New York Jets head coach got himself into a car wreck after running a red light. Who knows if he ever got a citation for it. What he should get a citation for is drafting Mark Sanchez. THAT should be a fineable offense.

9. Idiot Walks on Art Installation at Musikfest (The one that lights on fire): Add a little alcohol, huge crowds, and someone desperate in need of attention and you have this idiot.

8. Half Naked Woman Twists Boyfriend’s Testicles: This was a fun one, probably more so because her Facebook was a goldmine for some ridiculous behavior. Go back and spend a good hour on this one.

7. Naked 40-Year-Old Woman Has Most Bizarre Night Ever: This was one of those stories that had you say, “WTF?”“ more than a few times. Not only do you let a crazy lady you don’t know into your home, but you let her get naked and take a nap to sleep it off.

6. Llama Penis Corn Maze Upsets a Few People: This may have been my favorite story of the year only because it got people upset for no reason. I mean, sure, it looked like the llama had a big penis, but, why is that such a big deal if the only way you can see it is from the air? Besides, who wouldn’t want to go in this corn maze?

5. The "Vegan-Esque” Debacle: So, the owner of Vegan Treats went into Billy’s Diner in Bethlehem and took umbrage with the fact that he had a very clearly labeled “vegan-esque” omelette that wasn’t fully vegan. Hilarity ensued.

4. Local Bartender Tries to Win Maxim Hottie Contest (Was in Penthouse): Sex sells. So it wasn’t a surprise that when we linked to some nudey photos everyone either got really excited or were really mad. I mean, you posed for Penthouse, don’t you want to show that off?

3. The Article That Shall Not Be Named: This one came with multiple warnings for a reason. Basically, some guy put his hand up his girlfriend’s butt and pulled out parts of her insides. So, yeah, you may not want to click that link.

2. Vegan Treats Owner Has Local Restaurant Take Down Deer Heads: She was at it again. This may have been our most polarizing post of the year. Many were behind her decision to tell another business owner what to do with their business and then get it into the newspaper. Many were not because, oh, I dunno, it’s self-aggrandizing on so many levels. Either way, this was most likely our most commented on article of the year. So, thank you for that!

And our most read article of the year? Well, it’s not a happy one…

1. Woman Who Killed Baby in Bar Toilet Identified: Not only was this Lehigh Valley with Love’s most popular story of the year, it was also a story that grabbed national headlines and was discussed at length on the Nancy Grace show. It really has no happy ending and it’s looking like the woman in question will be given the death penalty if she is tried and convicted.

So, there you have it folks! Thank you for reading in 2013! We have some great new ideas coming up in the new year, so, stick around, even if you’re vegan and really hate us right now. I promise, we’ll work it out.
