Wow, Otto. This anniversary present is so much nicer than the crap I usually get my wife. I'm speechless.
Let me say it has been an honor to blog with you guys this last year. There's nowhere else I'd rather burn up the hours I spend at work pretending to be efficient.
Oh man, do I really have to read all those links for the first... er.. I mean, again? Congratulations! I want you boys to know that if I die, you can take over the Sunday coupon feature.
Thank you, thank you. It wasn't easy staying in this rut.
Norb, we're honored to be in the family will. Hopefully, we'll worm our way further into your confidences and move up to inheriting the salad spoons as well.
I have been and continue to be inspired and entertained by your blog. It is a perfect mix of social and political commentary and occassional wastes of time, which we all need. Congrats on a banner year!
But keep in mind, this compliment is from a drunken hooligan with a blog about beer.
Jeez, Otto, anybody can round up every post they've written in a year and call it a best-of.
(Or is this one of those recap episodes like Family Ties used to do every couple of months?)
But can anyone just poke blindly through the blog archives and come up with a random assortment of postings and then call it a "best of"? I don't think so.
At least it gave me a chance to reread StudioDave's real-life adventure with the plumpers in Vegas.
Congratulations on a year-ish. While I ape your punctuality, I could never imitate your broad national view and allusive snark.
Where do you find the time with all the hours of your lives wasted watching football matches?
